_____________
Announcements, Adjournment Honors, and Remarks Under
Special Privilege
Senator Wanggaard, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Enrique Camarena, a drug enforcement agent who was killed in 1985 by drug traffickers in Mexico. In response to his death, angered parents across the country began wearing red ribbons to symbolize their commitment to being healthy and drug free. In 1988, the National Family Partnership sponsored the first National Red Ribbon Week. The red ribbon began as a symbol of hope for people taking a stand against illegal drugs, and today it still stands as a symbol of Enrique’s belief that one person can make a difference in the fight against drugs. In order to rebrand the commitment to drug free schools, Greater Kenosha Community Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs Awareness Committee held a slogan contest. “Being Drug Free…Oh the Possibilities!”
Senator Wanggaard, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Carson Doty, a Randall Consolidated School student at the time who now attends Wilmot High School, who submitted the county-wide award winning entry.
