Prayer by Assemblyman Nolan.
Let us pray. Heavenly Father, You know we've fallen on tough times when You have a poor wretch like me stand before this body of my peers and ask You to bestow blessings upon us. But in many ways, it is fitting. Those of us who serve in this body are simple people who, when we leave here, try to return to simple lives. Lord, help us understand that it is the simple things in life that people want the most. Help us in our daily work to remember the acronym KISS--Keep It Simple, Sonny.
Lord, we ask You to help us in these things, and in Your Name we pray.

Amen.

Pledge of allegiance to the Flag.

Remarks by Assemblymen Nolan, Ernaut, Collins, Anderson and Close.
Assemblyman Perkins requested that the Assemblyman Ernaut's remarks be entered in the Journal.
Mr. Speaker, I have endured, over the past two weeks, the discussion of what is appropriate and inappropriate from the pulpit in the morning prayer; whether someone can say "Jesus" or they can't say "Jesus" because they are personally offended. Well, ACR 21 personally offends me, along with my colleagues from Districts 3, 36 and 31. We'd like to stand and say that we would like the ACLU to take our case to the people, that we cannot be subjected to this kind of heresy and harassment by our own colleagues.
I see in the gallery the co-founder of the "Bad Lunch Caucus," the Secretary of State. I'm sure that he would join me, along with the other members of the "Bad Lunch Caucus," in saying that ACR 21 must die. Thank you.
I'm embarrassed. I'd like to rescind my earlier opposition. I didn't see on page 2, in the third "Whereas," that this has been endorsed by the Coors Brewing Company, so I will declare my unbridled support of ACR 21. Thank you.
Resolution adopted.
Assemblyman Nolan moved that all rules be suspended and that Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 21 be immediately transmitted to the Senate.
Motion carried unanimously.

Assemblyman Nolan moved that the Assembly recess subject to the call of the Chair for the purpose of a fitness presentation.

MESSAGES FROM THE SENATE

Senate Chamber, Carson City, April 30, 1997

To the Honorable the Assembly:
I have the honor to inform your honorable body that the Senate on this day adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 34.

Mary Jo Mongelli

Assistant Secretary of the Senate

MOTIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND NOTICES

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 34.
Assemblywoman Evans moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Assemblymen Evans, Humke, Price, Hickey, Ernaut, Chowning, Lambert, Giunchigliani, Hettrick, Anderson, Carpenter, Marvel and Dini.
Assemblyman Hettrick requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.
Assemblywoman Evans:
I am delighted to have at my desk this morning one of those "old" timers, emphasis on the "old." I first came to the Nevada Legislature in 1981 as sort of a gofer for then-Senator Sue Wagner. It was the now-landmark legislation for domestic violence, the first bill that provided funding for the fledgling programs in the state. There were, you might say, two-and-a-half programs at that time. There are now 14 programs in the state. Although we, over the years, have passed numerous pieces of legislation on domestic violence and are still doing so, I think all of us who care so deeply about that particular issue will always have the greatest respect and deepest gratitude for Sue Wagner's leadership on that very important measure.
If you look at Sue's record, you will see that it is eclectic. She chaired Judiciary, as many of you know. Her bills cover every type of subject matter: gaming regulation; the environment; ethics; prisons--you name a subject in the Nevada Revised Statutes and you're going to find lots of bills with Sue's name on them.
It said in the resolution that Sue was chosen as National Republican Legislator of the Year. Some of us thought that that was perhaps a misnomer; we thought maybe it should be National Democratic Legislator of the Year because of her ever-present sense of balance and her nonpartisan way of conducting herself and her legislation, which I think is an example for each of us.
We are particularly honored to have Sue back with us as head of the legislative intern program. It had, I would say, fallen into somewhat of a state of disrepair. Early on when Professor Driggs did the program, it was quite well managed and successfully done. When he retired, it sort of evaporated. In the last two years, we've seen a remarkable turnaround, and I would submit that it is because of Sue's leadership. Everybody is really thrilled at the work you've done on that, Sue.
Sue Wagner was recently appointed to a very prestigious post on the Gaming Commission here in Nevada by Governor Miller, and I think she will add a great deal of knowledge and depth to that commission. Her titles have been assemblywoman, senator, lieutenant governor, and now commissioner; Sue, we await your next title.
Assemblyman Humke:
I'd be remiss if I didn't rise to lend my support to SCR 34 and to commend my former senator from Washoe County. What I recall most of her service in this body--and I'm very happy to say that I did serve with her--was her indomitable spirit, which was demonstrated in many, many ways. When she was the Senate Judiciary chairman, Sue proved that she was just as tough as anyone else in this body when she stood toe-to-toe with some of the major industries and interests in this state and never backed down. She has gotten a little wayward since leaving the legislature, really gotten off track--in her forays into the executive branch--but that can happen to the best of them. It's okay, Sue.
Sue serves as a tremendous role model for all women and girls in this state. Thank you for your service.
Assemblyman Price:
I'm a little bit emotional. I rise in strong support for SCR 34. I cannot convey to this body the respect, admiration, and, while I don't want to start any rumors, affection, that I have for Sue Wagner. I remember so well, even in my fuddled memory, the first time that I recognized and learned who Sue was. In 1975, she was maybe in this seat here. I, for many years, sat back in the very back of the room. We were in the 1975 session. It would be hard for any of the youngsters here to know this, but in those days, there were no campaign reform laws. You went out and raised money as you could, spent it and there were no reports or anything else. One day this lady came walking around getting everybody to sign on some bill. She came to my desk and wanted me to sign on a campaign reform bill, and my thought was, "Campaign reform, is she nuts?" She went on her way, and I turned to the legislator next to me--you will remember, Lloyd Mann--and I said, "Who is that woman?"
As time has moved on and I watched Sue's career progress, I have had nothing but great respect for her. Sue Wagner serves as an example as a legislator and as a leader in this state, not only to women and girls, but to all who have observed her--men, women, all Nevadans and anyone else who is interested. I am so pleased that we are recognizing your hard work, Sue.
Assemblyman Hickey:
I, too, rise in support of this resolution. As a former legislative intern myself, I'm honored that Sue Wagner has taken over the reigns, and frankly, somewhat relieved that she wasn't there when I was an intern. I think this resolution is especially noteworthy because, as was stated, it comes near the reception that many of us are attending today as this legislative session nears an end.
Assemblyman Ernaut:
It is a special privilege for me today to be able to stand in support of SCR 34 for my good friend and former Lieutenant Governor Sue Wagner. I think all of us, especially from northern Nevada, know of some of the trials and tribulations that Sue Wagner has endured in her life. To me, she is somebody who exemplifies grit and determination and everything that is right in a public official. She is always happy. She is stubborn. She stands up for what she believes in, and above all, she is probably one of the most honest people I've ever met in my life.
Sue served as a role model and mentor to me and many other people in this body and showed us that there wasn't always a blueprint of how to be a Republican, that there was moderation and there was compromise and there wasn't always a need to dig your heels in for an extreme view.
My father told me something when I first came into this body that has stuck with me. It's something that I think Sue Wagner exemplifies more than any public official that I've ever met. He said, "Leadership is not doing what is popular, but doing what is right and making it popular." Thank you.
Assemblywoman Chowning:
I, too, rise in support of SCR 34. It is a privilege for me to stand here and give tribute to a strong presence and role model such as Sue Wagner. I have watched her with great respect. I've learned--I can't tell you how much--from her service. The personal trials that Sue has gone through would have broken many people, but instead of looking at things as problems, Sue looks at them as challenges. She bursts through, breaks down the wall and carries on. What a wonderful tribute it is for our young people that Sue is choosing to continue to be a teacher and role model, and we want to say thank you.
Assemblywoman Lambert:
I rise in support of SCR 34. We've all said that Sue is a role model. Well, I can testify from personal experience that she certainly made a difference. When I first ran for office in 1984, it was more unusual to see women running for office. The reputation that she had, the hard work that she performed in this body, made it easier for a lot of us to run. I heard comments when I went door-to-door, "We'll give you a chance. There's another woman in that Legislature that's doing an outstanding job." I have to publicly thank her for that, and I certainly appreciate it.
I think the interns in the intern program have a unique opportunity. They are very fortunate, because when Sue does something, the only way she knows how to do it is at least 150 percent of her effort. They are getting a phenomenal amount of experience and enthusiasm along with a very strong sense of ethics to lead them in that program. I think they realize they are very fortunate, and we certainly realize they are.
Finally, I'd like to pay to Sue what I feel is the ultimate compliment: she is a lady who makes a difference.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
I, too, rise in support of SCR 34. I think it's unfortunate, though, that we had to share this day in honoring Sue Wagner with the likes of a marathon race and exercise and energy demonstration. However, I think to some extent maybe that epitomizes Sue's natural energy and the fact that she is a marathon distance runner in her own right.
People have mentioned the intern program, and I think that it has always been very, very special. But when I first decided to get into the area of politics, my mentor at that time was Eileen Brookman. Eileen shared many stories of working with a fellow peer, both in these halls as well as down the hall. Sometimes we forget that as women, we can be tough, and yes, Mr. Ernaut, we can have grit, but that we also have to prove the difference between assertiveness and aggressiveness. I think Sue has been able to do that. She is a woman who has been able to handle a great deal with grace under much fire. For that, I would like to say thank you as well.
Assemblyman Hettrick:
I obviously rise in support of SCR 34. At a time when so many people who are involved in politics are looked at negatively and the image of people involved in this profession always seems to be one that is denigrated, I think this lady exemplifies what all of us should strive to be and strive to portray--the highest standard of ethics, no question at all of honesty and forthrightness, someone who exhibits every character trait that every one of us should strive to have. I think this lady exemplifies these qualities, so I am proud to rise in support of SCR 34.
Assemblyman Anderson:
I, also, wish to rise in support of SCR 34. As a schoolteacher, I would feel remiss not to say thank you to Sue Wagner for all the time and caring that she has shown to the children of our state for what she did as a member of this Chamber and of the other Chamber.
When I arrived here in 1991, I was somewhat disappointed to realize the limited involvement that members of the Assembly have with the Lieutenant governor of the state meant that I would very rarely, if ever, see Lieutenant governor Wagner other than as she came down the hall. And, of course, 1991 was a very difficult year for her. In the 1993 session, I received a note one day asking me to come to the Lieutenant governor's office to discuss a license plate bill. Now license plates, of course, have come to be my trademark. I was somewhat curious that the Lieutenant governor would want to have any discussions about license plates; however, she was clearly concerned about a fundraising opportunity for the University System--an opportunity to put out a Wolf Pack license plate and a UNLV license plate. After having a lengthy discussion with Sue over lunch--I had brown bagged that day, and she, of course, had done a similar kind of operation--she looked at me and said, "I can't believe that we're spending this much time with this kind of a little tiny piece of legislation." I responded, of course, "Absolutely, Lieutenant Governor. We'll get this taken care of right away."
This lady is the kind of legislator that all of us hope to be, the kind of person who has the dedication and grit to serve in our state and a model for all of us. It is a pleasure to see her here in our Chamber and to recognize her for her great accomplishments for our state.
Assemblyman Carpenter:
I, too, rise in support of SCR 34. I just want to congratulate Sue and thank her for all of the wonderful work that she has done for the citizens of this great state, and especially for rural Nevada.
Assemblyman Marvel:
Thank you, Sue, for being you. You certainly have been an example to all politicians in the State of Nevada, and you've done your part in trying to dispel the odium that sometimes comes with being a politician. I think this is a most fitting resolution in your honor. Again, thank you for being you, Sue.
Speaker Dini:
With your permission, I would be remiss if I didn't take the opportunity to speak from the rostrum. Sue and I have been friends since 1973, when she came to the Assembly. In 1977, my first term as Speaker, there were 35 Democrats and five Republicans, and Sue used to hold the minority caucus in the phone booth. Since then, it's changed a little bit.
We've worked together on a lot of legislation. We are very close personal friends; our tragedies and our happiness have all come together. As a personal friend, I want to commend you, Sue, and I hope you do well as a member of the Nevada Gaming Commission. And when I come before you, please treat me nicely.
Resolution adopted.
