Announcements, Adjournment Honors, and Remarks Under Special Privilege
Senator L. Taylor, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of a man taken much too soon. A man who loved and cared for his family as well as his community. Senator Taylor wanted us to take a moment to remember Ceasar Stinson, a man with a beautiful soul and compassionate spirit, who should have has so many more days ahead of him. In the age of disproportionate and inconsistent sentencing, of reckless driving, of racism that is embedded so deep that to even attempt to speak openly about it leads to retaliation-or-worse-blatant disregard of the reality; this man was simply living his life, going about his business, doing all he could for friends, family, and community, and was struck down in his prime. We turned to the justice system to right this wrong, and have been disappointed once again. Even as we ask how long do we have to witness senseless deaths, Senator Taylor wanted us to remember his name. Remember his smiling face. Remember why we fight for justice and equality. Senator Taylor wanted us to adjourn in honor of Mr. Stinson and be reminded by his memory that we are not promised tomorrow, so we must do all we can today to make the world a safer place for all people, not just some.
Senator Johnson, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of the lives of: Demara Dunia Mpatapo Howard, age 3 months; Tiana Huddleston, age 8 years; Caleb Jordan,, age 23 years; Jacobi Liddell, age 31 years; Charles Hardy, age 42 years; Donald Smith, age 43 years; Donta Michael Williams, age 44 years; and Michelle Williams, age 49 years.
Senator Testin, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of a constituent from the 24th District who has traveled to Madison to watch today’s session. Senator Testin welcomed Emmon Eades, his family, and a friend to the State Capitol, and thanks them for their interest in public service and government.
Senator Larson, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Mitchel Stow, from Union Grove High School, who was here shadowing the Senator.
Senator Larson, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of his three interns, Dawson Albright, Isabella Lubotsky, and Kayla Dienberg.
Senator Larson, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Erik Brooks, Mayor of South Milwaukee, who retired recently.
Senator Larson, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Betsy Marusic, who passed away at the age of 47, just 15 days ago. She is the first of his siblings they have lost.
Senator Marklein, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Brian Busch and Jim Ludlum. Brian Busch and Jim Ludlum were volunteer firefighters from Mineral Point that died in an accident in their fire truck on January 6, 2022 while responding to a call. They responded to a call in the middle of the night. They did not return home. Brian and Jim are examples of the emergency personnel that serve all of our communities. They give much of their time to protect us, and in the case of Jim and Brian, they gave their lives. The tragedy in Mineral Point had a huge impact on that community, and especially their First Responders. Fire Departments and EMS services from many other communities volunteered to staff the Mineral Point Fire Department in their time of need. For that, thank you!
