Journal of the House


First Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly




EIGHTEENTH DAY, Monday, February 10, 2003


         Representative Myers in the Chair.


         Prayer by Father David Buescher.


           Another week begins for this legislative body, O Lord. The session has gotten off to a good start, but the challenges are great. Tight finances, budget deficit, policies of education, rising cost of health services, eroding infrastructure on our roads and highways, a down-turned economy, more homeless in our cities, farm-woes, fear of terrorism and the threat of a major war, name only a few.


           The thought that You might not be here breeds deep pessimism. With You, however, in heart and mind, let our attitudes be positive, our ideals morally high, and our ideas creative and innovative. May this legislative week begin today, completely in Your grace and friendship. Amen.


         The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


         The Journal of the seventeenth day was approved as printed by the following vote:
