Journal of the Senate 05/09/2012

The prayer was offered by Acting Chaplain, Sarah L. Hamby of Pomfret, Connecticut.

Lord, we ask you to open our eyes that we may value and appreciate all people, recognizing what we have in common rather than focusing on what our differences might be. Inspire us to distinguish between what is important and what is not, and open our minds and hearts that we may always be people of good will who bring life and joy to others. Amen.

That a Committee of three Senators be appointed to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate is ready to meet in Joint Convention for the purpose of final adjournment.

The Committee appointed by the President to inform the House that the Senate was ready to meet in Joint Convention for the purpose of the final adjournment reported that they had discharged the duties assigned to them and that the Senate would meet the House in Joint Convention forth with.

On motion of Senator Looney of the 11th, the Senate at 11: 58 p. m. , adjourned Sine Die.

The Honorable Senate, preceded by the Honorable Lieutenant Governor and the Clerks of the Senate, entered the House of Representatives and met the House in Joint Convention.

The prayer was offered by the Senate Chaplain, Reverend James J. Nock of East Hartford, Connecticut.

We ask your blessing on this joint convention, as we come together this morning to close legislative session of 2012.

This has been a difficult and challenging session for us…covering subjects such as the death penalty, education, Sunday sales, public safety, and budgetary adjustments. But we accomplished our goals and proved, once again, that, with your grace, and working well together, there is no limit as to what we can accomplish but the limit of our own imagination.

J. C. No. 28 RESOLUTION RAISING A COMMITTEE OF TWO SENATORS AND TWO REPRESENTATIVES TO INFORM THE GOVERNOR THAT THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ARE IN JOINT CONVENTION FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADJOURNMENT.

That a Committee of two Senators and two Representatives be appointed to inform the Governor that the Senate and House of Representatives are in Joint Convention for the purpose of adjournment.

The Governor thereupon appeared in the House of Representatives and delivered his message.

That the message of the Governor be printed in the journals of the Senate and House of Representatives and that a sufficient number of copies be printed for general distribution.

House Chaplain, Reverend Charles E. Turner of Hartford offered the following benediction:

Let us pray. As our days so shall Your Strength be says the great prophet. We claim that word and thank You for the strength that is needed for the days ahead. The days have been long but we recognize the race is not given to the swift or the strong, but to the one who endures to the end. Help us now to rise and face the challenges before us with the excitement as if it were our first day and the urgency as if it were our last. I ask this in the name of the Ancient of days as we leave walking in unmerited favor. Amen.

Upon the invitation of the House, the Senate met the House in Joint Convention for the purpose of receiving any communications that the Governor might choose to make.

Prayer was offered by the Senate Chaplain, Reverend James J. Nock of East Hartford, Connecticut.

Senator Looney of the 11th offered a resolution concerning the printing of the Governor's message.

The benediction was offered by the Chaplain, Reverend Charles E. Turner of Hartford.

The Secretary of the State thereupon dissolved the Convention and the Senate withdrew.

Lt. Governor Wyman, Mr. Speaker, Senator Williams, Representative Cafero, Senator McKinney. Thank you. It's always an honor for me to address this chamber.

I'll be brief in my remarks tonight, but there are a few things that I'd like to say.

Over the course of the last 16 months we have pushed more change through these two chambers than has occurred in Connecticut in a long, long time.

We've changed our economy – growing thousands of new, private sector jobs for the first time in years. We've created 18,100 new, private sector jobs in the past 16 months, and the unemployment rate is 20% lower than it was the first time I spoke here. We've gone from being 2/10 of a point above the national unemployment rate to a half point below.

With our Design Build legislation, and with our project labor agreements, we've changed the way construction projects will get done in Connecticut – and, in the process, we'll create thousands of good paying jobs.

We've changed our state's finances – we've closed the worst-in-the-nation deficit and we're firmly committed to keeping our books honestly for the first time in a long time.

We've changed our blue laws to bring us in line with our neighbors – and we've begun the process of making our liquor laws more consumer-friendly.

We've changed our election laws – and in the process we are making it easier for people to participate in their democracy.

We've changed the way that we respond to major weather events – and in the process, the state and its utilities will be better prepared to handle emergencies.

We've made more intelligent changes to our criminal justice system – and in the process we're continuing to restore confidence in the system's accuracy and fairness. Those changes are part of the reason crime is at its lowest rate in 44 years.

And now, thanks to votes you made over the past few days, we're changing our public schools.

We're putting more education dollars into our lowest performing districts, something almost no other state is doing – and we're ensuring that those dollars will be spent wisely.

We're creating a thousand additional seats for young children to have a chance at pre-kindergarten learning experiences.

And we're recognizing and supporting our teachers, administrators, parents and students in ways they've been asking us to for years.

That's a lot of change. It's required a lot of tough decisions to be made. Along the way it's ruffled a lot of feathers. That's because change is hard.

But change is also necessary. While the world changed, and while states around us changed, Connecticut stood still.

Thanks to the men and women in this chamber, that's no longer the case. Now Connecticut is changing, too – for the better.

Before my friends on either side of the aisle get nervous, let me say that I'm not declaring victory or suggesting our work is done. Far from it.

But just as it would be a mistake to declare anything resembling victory, it would also be a mistake not to acknowledge how much good work has been done in the past 16 months. You should be proud of what you've accomplished, but we should all remember how much more there is to do.

We need to continue to focus on creating jobs – every day, that should be our first thought.

We are in much better shape than we were 16 months ago, but we're not where we need to be yet.

Let's keep squeezing every dollar we can out of state government. Let's make government more efficient. Let's continue the conversion of the state's books to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

And now that we have passed a bold education reform package, a package that has the potential to allow our state to pull ahead of other states instead of lagging behind, we must implement that change. If we do this, someday our children will thank us.

As we end this legislative session, I want to acknowledge all of the legislators, Republican and Democrat, who've decided not to seek reelection. Thank you for your service.

But I do want to make a specific point of acknowledging two of those who will be leaving.

First, Senator Edith Prague. Your advocacy on behalf of your constituents, and on behalf of every senior citizen in this state, has been admirable. Senator, you are a remarkable woman, and this place won't be the same without you.

Second, the Speaker of the House, Chris Donovan, who after 20 years as a state representative, including the last four years as Speaker of the House, is leaving to run for another office. Mr. Speaker, you've fought hard for what you believe in. Congratulations on all you've accomplished in your time here.

I want to thank the hardest working Lieutenant Governor in the nation, Nancy Wyman. I could not have a better friend, partner, or confidante.

Finally, I want to say something to every member of the legislature. Being a legislator is supposed to be a part-time job, but it's turned into a full-time commitment.

What you do is not easy. There are nights, like this past week, when you don't get to go home. Nights when you miss dinner with your family or your child's soccer game or recital. Nights when you're so tired you have to pull over when you're driving home.

And you do this for only one reason: because you believe in public service. Because you believe you have an obligation to give something back to your community. Because you know we all have a responsibility to leave the world a better place for our having been in it.

We might not have always agreed, but I respect the passion and commitment you bring to the work you do.

Together we've made a lot of progress in 16 months. But we have a lot more to do.
