Senator Shilling, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of all our staff who’ve been here a long time, day and night. She would also like to adjourn in honor of the Chief Clerk’s Office, page staff, Reference Bureau and other support agencies who have been ere and been at the ready as we’ve called them in for the clarification and briefings, as well as the Capitol Police who were here. Thank you for making the night and the day and the morning what it was.
Senator L. Taylor, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Sandra Parks, her constituent who was recently killed. Her mother is very troubled from the experience the family has had. Senator Taylor would also like to adjourn in honor of all of those in our lives who have passed away recently.
Senator Miller, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of his wife, Josephine Oyama-Miller, daughter of immigrants whose family was incarcerated in the forced relocation camps for American of Japanese descent during WWII and his partner and support for fifty years this month.
Senator Olsen, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Rachel Scott and her parents. Rachel was the first person killed in the Columbine shooting 20 years ago. Last Monday, the Senator and his wife had the opportunity to meet with the Scotts and learn about their daughter who was a remarkable young lady. She lived 17 years and what the Scotts have done is started something called Rachel’s Challenge that has made an impact on millions of people across the US and the world. They go into schools and into communities with a message of love and hope and forgiveness, and every week the Scotts get emails and messages from people who have gone through their program that the program has saved their lives because they were going to commit suicide. They also have stopped mass shootings because they get emails from people saying “I wasn’t just thinking about it. I had the stuff ready to shoot and kill my fellow students.” They have taken a tragedy in their life and made it something positive, and it has saved many, many children and parents and people from across the country and the world.
Senator Wanggaard, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of his mother and father on the 77th wedding anniversary on December 12th.

Senator Darling, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of her wonderful grandson, Liam, who turned 7 last week.
Senator Schachtner, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Officer Lee Sylvester Murphy. In June 1953, Officer Murphy pulled over a suspect who had stolen a car in Hawthorne and robbed a tavern in Amery. During the traffic stop Officer Murphy sustained a gunshot wound to the shoulder. Despite being wounded, Officer Murphy chased the suspect into Hudson. The suspect shot and killed Patrolman Clarence Erickson, of the Hudson Police Department in an effort to evade officers. Officer Murphy joined a gun battle between officers and the suspect. After this course of events, Officer Murphy had a shoulder operation and suffered a stroke shortly after surgery. He had been ill as a result of the gunshot wound and stroke for two years and succumbed to his injuries on September 22, 1955. After years of applying to have Officer Murphy’s name listed on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, Officer Murphy’s application was accepted and his name will be added on the Memorial in the spring of 2019. Senator Schachtner is honored to have been part of the process that finally led to the successful acceptance of this long awaited and deserved honor for Officer Lee Murphy.
