Announcements, Adjournment Honors, and Remarks Under
Special Privilege
Senator Hansen, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of University of Wisconsin – Green Bay’s 50th Anniversary on September 2, 2015 and University of Wisconsin – Marinette’s 50th Anniversary this fall.
Senator Harris Dodd, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of the individuals who have lost their lives to violence in Milwaukee over the summer. 113 lives have been taken in Milwaukee since January of this year. Nearly 50 lives were taken since the Senator last stood on the Senate floor. Nearly every day in her district, a person is shot or injured as a result of violence. 83% of homicides this year occurred as a result of violence through the use of a firearm. Children are dying in her district. 13 year-old Giovonnie Cameron was coming back from a prayer vigil when he was fatally shot. The prayer vigil was for his 14 year-old fried, Tariq, who died after being shot after a fireworks show near the 4th of July. 17 year-old Breanna Eskridge was shot on a porch near the end of July, making her the 3rd teenager to die in a span of just a few weeks. Sadly, children in her district are not surprised by the sound of gunshots on their block. They are no longer phased by prayer vigils and peace walks and their friends dying. For children in her district, every day is a war zone. Every day is another day where they could be shot or their family member could be shot. Senator Harris Dodd challenges the Senate to work with her to reduce violence and build safer communities for our children.
Senator Wanggaard, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of the Burlington Little League 12U All-Star Baseball Team. This year, they earned the titles for 2015 District Champions and 2015 State Champions on their way to the Little League World Series, becoming only the second team in state history to advance to the regional title game. Unfortunately, they didn’t reach their final goal of making it to the World Series this season. However, the Burlington 12U team has won the state championship six years in a row, and they will surely have another promising season next year. Senator Wanggaard would like to honor their sportsmanship, teamwork, and tremendous talent they demonstrated throughout their journey and congratulate them on their successful season that made Wisconsin history.
