MEMBERS. WE ALL KNOW HOME AND

TURNING THE FLOOR OVER TO
SENATOR ALLEN. TO BESTOW A
SPECIAL RECOGNITION. ON AN
INDIVIDUAL IS COMMITTED HIS
LIFE TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE
SENATE SENATOR ALLEN THE FLOOR
IS YOURS. MEMBERS THAT AS IT
WAS MENTIONED THAT WE DO HAVE
SENATE REALTY HERE ON THE FLOOR
AND PART OF THE REASON WHY
INCREDIBLE AS THE PEOPLE ARE
HERE TODAY INCLUDING OUR FORMER
PRO TEM. IS TO HONOR AN
EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUAL. WHO
IS A CONSTITUENT OF CENTER
PANTS THIS IS A LEGENDARY IRWIN
NOVACK. NOW I FIRST MET IRWIN
JUST AS A BRAND NEW SENATOR
WHEN HE WALKED UP TO ME AND
STARTED SPEAKING TO ME AS
THOUGH WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER
FOR THIRTY YEARS AND THE MEAT
MENDING IMMEDIATE WATCHED INTO
A VERY ARCANE DISCUSSION OF THE
MENU SYSTEM TO IN MY OWN
CAMPAIGN. IN GETTING HERE AND
HE YOU KNOW HE HE HE I THOUGHT
I THE WHO IS THIS GUY AND I WAS
HOW QUICKLY IT WAS QUICKLY
EXPLAINED TO ME AND EVERY
SINGLE TIME I'VE EVER I'VE EVER
SEEN AND INTERACTING WITH THEM
THE LEGEND GETS DEEPER. AND SO
SOME OF YOU HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR
DECADES AND SO I'LL I'LL LEAVE
THOSE OTHERS TO TALK IN MORE
DETAIL ABOUT HIS HISTORY HERE
IN THE LEGISLATURE THE MEMBERS
HE'S WORKED FOR THE POLICY
COMPLIMENTS HE'S RACKED UP BUT
I REALLY HAVEBY FOOT HAVE COME
TO KNOW HIM. WELL SINCE I'VE
I'VE BEEN HERE IN THE SENATE I
JUST WANNA GIVE A FEW
OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THIS UNIQUE
PHENOMENON THAT SOME. SOME OF
US REFER TO AFFECTIONATELY AS
THE EYES. IRWIN NO NO. BUT
LET'S LET'S FIRST SAY THAT DATE
IF FUHRMAN'S LOOKING TO TALK TO
ME I KNOW BY DEFINITION IT'S
SOMETHING IT'S PROBABLY
IMPORTANT I HE HAS COUPLE KEY
THINGS YOU LOVE TO TALK ABOUT
POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS LITIGATION
LEGISLATION MOST IMPORTANTLY
EVANS LOVE LIFE AND HE'S VERY
TOOK REAL INTERESTED IN IN IN
MY MARRIAGE SCHEDULE. HE'S
TAKING A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN
CENTER STERN'S. PATH TOWARD PUT
TOWARD THE WHO BY THE MARRIAGE
CANOPY AND I THINK THAT DOES
COME FROM THE INTERNAL JEWISH
MOTHER WITHIN HIM. SOMEWHERE
SOMEWHERE DEEP DOWN BUT YOU
KNOW WHEN HE IS LOOKING TO TALK
TO HE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN ANY
CORNER OF THE BUILDING DESPITE
YOUR SCHEDULES BASS PRO TO
STATION THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY
UNAVAILABLE IF YOU'VE GONE OUT
OF TOWN. HE WILL FIND YOU. HE
WILL FIND YOU NOW HE WILL TELL
YOU THAT HE'S NOT THAT HE IS
INFALLIBLE I WILL SAY. HE'S NOT.
THINK ABOUT IRWIN IS THAT 65%
OF THE TIME HE HAS AN ABSOLUTE
GEM AND AN INCREDIBLE INSIGHT.
25% TIME HE'S TOTALLY WRONG. HI
AND THEN THE REST OF TIME IS
OFF ON SOME TANGENT THE KEY
THING. THE KEY THING THAT YOU
NEED TO KNOW IS WHICH IS WICH
IS OFTEN TIMES VERY DIFFICULT.
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT AS A MEMBER
TO KNOW WHERE THE JAM IS BUT
IT'S OFTEN THERE. IT'S OFTEN
THERE AND I WILL SAY THAT THE
YOU WOULD REALLY BE WISE TO
TAKE WHATEVER ADVICE HE HAS
SERIOUSLY AND PAY SOME
ATTENTION TO IT AND IS
DISMISSED THE TEMPTATION. TO
DISMISS IT OUT RIGHT NO MATTER
HOW FAR HOW FAR FETCHED IT MAY
SEEM THE TIME THERE'D BEEN SOME
THINGS HE'S TOLD ME THAT
ABSOLUTE COME TO PASS. WITHIN A
YEAR THAT I THOUGHT WERE JUST
CRAZY. I HE THINKS ABOUT
SITUATIONS LIKE A CHESS GAME HE
HAS THE SKILL OF SEEING MANY
MOVES AHEAD ON THE BOARD. I
HAVE TALKED TO HIM A LOT OF THE
I GOT TO KNOW IS SHORTHAND
LANGUAGE THAT YOU KNOW MANY OF
YOU PROBABLY RECEIVED A CRYPTIC
EMAIL OR TEXT FROM HIM I KNOW I
HAVE THAT'S COMPRISED OF.
ALMOST ENTIRELY OF INITIALS. I
DO WANT TO GIVE A COUPLE
EXAMPLES OF THESE THAT THE JUST
TO MAKE SURE THE FOLKS BACK
HOME HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING WHO
IS FIRST OF ALL THE BC. WE
DON'T NEED TO GO INTO DETAIL
ABOUT THAT ONE BUT BUT WHEN
DOES SPEAK VERY FREQUENTLY OF
HIS BELOVED B. SEE THE B. C. B.
C. IS GOING TO COME AND SEE ME.
THAT'S A VERY DIFFERENT THING
THAT'S CARPET BOMBING. I AS A
LEGISLATOR YOU DON'T WANT TO
HAVE YOUR NAME IN CARPET
BOMBING ASSOCIATED. HE'S QUICK
TO WARN YOU WHEN YOU MAY TAKE A
FATAL MISSTEP THAT COULD RESULT
IN THE TERRIFYING THOUGHT OF A
OF A OF A CV. AND IT LASTS A
CERTAIN UP BUT NOT. LEAST THE
WAS NUMBER ONE RULE WHAT'S
THERE WAS NO ONE REMEMBERS.
ALLEN TATE IT'S THE ANTI A
MEMBER PROTECTION. AND THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT'S NEAR AND DEAR
TO LEGISLATORS HEARTS ALWAYS
TOP OF MIND FOR WHEN NO WAY.
OUT IRWIN WHEN I THINK HE'S
ALWAYS TRYING TO HELP US
UNDERSTAND IS NAVIGATING THE
DIFFICULT WATERS OF GUN CONTROL
LEGISLATION WHICH- YOU KNOW IS
VERY TRICKY. HAVE ANYONE WHO'S
EVER INTRODUCED A BILL RELATING
TO GUNS. THE VERY FIRST PERSON
THE WHOLE SHOW UP IN YOUR
OFFICE. AND WALK STRAIGHT UP
YOUR DESK. INSPIRED WHOEVER
YOU'RE TLKING TO AT THE TIME.
IT WILL BE WENT. AND HE'S GOING
TO LET YOU KNOW IMMEDIATELY HOW
YOUR IDEA WON'T WORK EXACTLY
WHEN AND BY WHOM IT'S BEEN.
TRIED BEFORE. HOW YOU SHOULD
TRY TO RE DRAFTED TO MAKE IT
BETTER OR SCRAP THE IDEA
ALTOGETHER. AND I THINK IT'S
SAFE TO SAY THAT HE HAS HAD A
MAJOR HAND IN EVERY SINGLE GUY
AND- RELATED POLICY GOING
THROUGH THIS LEGISLATURE FOR
DECADES. THAT IS A US WORD DATE
WE HAVE A THAT IS THE WAY TO MY
HEART. WHICH MEANS A PERSON WHO
IS A BIG DEAL OR AT LEAST ONE
WHO THINKS HE'S A BIG DEAL. AND
INNER WOODS CASE BOTH ARE TRUE.
HE'S A SERIOUS MARKER ON GUN
POLICY AND ALSO IN THE AREA OF
THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS THAT'S
A BIT MORE ARCANE AND THIS IS A
COURSE. THE CHAPTER ANY OUT
PROCESS. THE MOST COMMON
INTERACTION WITH WITH THE IRWIN
FOR ANY LEGISLATOR OR STAFFERS
WHEN YOU'RE WALKING THROUGH THE
HALLS BISLEY GET FROM ONE
MEETING TO ANOTHER. AND
COMMITTEES A YOU HAVE A CHAPTER
RING PROBLEM. AND IT MIGHT NOT
GET FIXED. SO IT'S NOT CHAPTER
IN WHAT IS CHAPTER IT'S A
TEDIOUS BUT IMPORTANT PART OF
THE PROCESS THAT MUST BE PAID
ATTENTION TO MUST BE PAID
ATTENTION TO WHAT THE SEA
BREEZE GET A CAP AND THEN
YOU'RE GONNA GET. C. B. BY THE
YEAH RAFT BY THE B. C. IF YOU
DON'T FIX IT CHAPTER IN PROBLEM.
NOW IF IT'S NOT HANDLED
CORRECTLY AN ENTIRE YEAR'S WORK
COULD GET LOST TWO BILLS AMEND
THE SAME CODE SECTION AND THEY
GET SIGNED INTO LAW O THE
SECOND ONE THEN EFFECTIVELY
RACES THE FIRST AND NOBODY
WANTS THAT SO WE'VE GOT IT
SOMEHOW FIGURE OUT A WAY TO
RECONCILE THE LAW. NOW WHEN THE
ERA OF TERM LIMITS ARRIVED IN
THE NINETEEN NINETIES IN THE
LEGISLATURE LOST QUITE A BIT OF
INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE AMONGST
MEMBERS AND STAFF THE CHAPTER
OUT PROCESS WAS SIMPLY NOT WELL
KNOWN BY SOME OF THE NEWER
PEOPLE AND IRWIN DECIDED TO
TAKE UP THE MANTLE. AND MADE
SURE THAT ANYONE WHO HAD A BILL
AT RISK OF THIS UNFORTUNATE
PROBLEM TOOK THE NECESSARY
STEPS TO RESOLVE IT BEFORE IT
WAS TOO LATE. AND HE'S KEPT
TRACK OF ALL OF US WITH HIS
CHAPTER OUT OF MEMPHIS IN THE
DECADES SINCE SO I JUST WANT TO
SAY THAT THIS INSTITUTION OWES
HIM A TREMENDOUS DEBT OF
GRATITUDE FOR TAKING ON THIS
ARE CAME PROCEDURAL PROCESS AND
MAKING SURE IT IS HANDLED WELL
I FEAR FOR THE FUTURE WE'RE
GONNA NEED A NEWER ONE MAYBE
WITH A- SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
PERSONALITY. WHO WILL TAKE ON
THIS THIS IMPORTANT IN THIS
VERY VERY IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF
WORK. IRWIN HAS BEEN LARGER
THAN LIFE IN HIS PRESENCE IN
THE LEGISLATURE HE'S INCREDIBLY
SMART HE LOVES THIS INSTITUTION
TODAY HIS VERY CORE HE LOVES
GOOD PUBLIC POLICY AT ITS VERY
CORE. HE'S ALSO GOT A VERY VERY
BIG HEART. AND WE WILL
OBVIOUSLY MISSIN THERE WILL
NEVER BE ANOTHER IRWIN NOVACK
AND WE APPRECIATE HIM TODAY ON
THE SENATE FLOOR THANK YOU WHEN
KNOWING. NICE JOB CENTER AROUND.
MEMBERS. SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT
IRWIN HERE TODAY. WE'D ALSO
LIKE TO KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE.
CURRENT AND FORMER IS SIMPLY
MEMBERS IN THE CHAMBERS TODAY
TO BE A TO CELEBRATE AS WELL AS
FORMER SENATORS WE WELCOME ALL
OF YOU TO THE CHAMBERS. CENTER
SKINNER THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
THANK YOU I'M MISTER PRESIDENT
MEMBERS AND OUT WHILE I A WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE THE DETAILS
THAT OUR COLLEAGUE FROM SANTA
MONICA. AND I WOULD SAY WHEN I
VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT AS
FAR AS I KNOW YOU'VE NOT.
GOTTEN INVOLVED IN MY PERSONAL
LIFE IN THE WAY THAT OUR FRIEND
FROM SANTA MONICA DESCRIBES SO
THANK YOU. BUT I STAND AS THE
CHAIR OF PUBLIC SAFETY. AND I
WELL THAT WAS REFERENCED I WANT
TO JUST REITERATE THAT THERE IS
NO ONE. KNOW WHAT. IN THE STATE
CAPITAL OR I THINK ANYWHERE IN
CALIFORNIA. WHO KNOWS.
CALIFORNIA'S GUN LAWS. IN MORE
PRECISE AND SPECIFIC DETAIL.
THEN IRWIN. AND WHILE THAT CAN
OFTEN TIMES BE A PAIN FOR SOME
OF US IT IS ABSOLUTELY A GIFT
FOR MOST OF US. HIS KNOWLEDGE
AND HIS EXACTING COMMAND OF THE
DETAILS HAS ENSURED THAT OUR
LAWS ARE BETTER. IT'S INSURED
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AND I WILL
RELATE A STORY THAT I KNOW SOME
OF THE COLLEAGUES WHO ARE
VISITING US FORMER MEMBERS I
DON'T THINK ANY CURRENT MEMBER
MAY HAVE BEEN IN OFFICE AT THE
TIME BUT AFTER THE COLUMBINE
SHOOTING IF YOU RECALL THE
SHOOTERS IN THEIR CASE BOUGHT
THEIR GUNS AT A GUN SHOW. AND
THERE WERE SOME LOOPHOLES IN
CALIFORNIA'S LAW ABOUT THE
ENFORCEMENT AROUND OUR LAWS ON
GUN SHOWS AND SO THERE WAS A
BILL AND FORMER A FORMER
SENATORS THEN FORMER ASSEMBLY
MEMBERS CORBETT AND RIGHT RIGHT
WE'RE REALLY GOING AT IT AND IT
WAS A HER IT WAS AS I
UNDERSTAND IT A. AN IMPRESSIVE
CONFLICT AND IRWIN STEPPED IN
AND IRWIN. HIS INTERVENTIONS
SETTLED IT. THE BILL PASSED AND
GOVERNOR DAVIS SIGNED INTO LAW
AND I'M SURE MANY OF US COULD
DESCRIBE SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES
SINCE IN VERY MANY OF THE BILLS
THAT WE HAVE CARRIED. AND I
JUST WANT TO EXPRESS AND I KNOW
THE ENTIRE SENATE WANTS TO
EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION IRWIN
FOR MAKING SURE THAT
CALIFORNIA'S GUN LAWS ARE
ABSOLUTELY. SOME OF THE BEST IF
NOT THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY AND
HAVE GREATLY REDUCED GONE
VIOLENT DEATHS IN OUR STATE
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH
SOONER SKINNER MEMBERS WE HAVE
SEVERAL MEMBERS WHO WOULD LIKE
TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK WITH A TO
TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO THE
REPUBLICAN LEADER SENATOR GROVE
THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU
MISTER PRESIDENT I HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF MEETING WHEN I
SERVED ON THE GREEN CARPET. AND
I WAS BRAND NEW TO THE
LEGISLATURE I'D BEEN HERE ABOUT
SIX MONTHS IN THIS. MAN COMES
UP TO ME AND WANTS TO TALK TO
ME ABOUT GUN CONTROL AND GUN
LAWS. AND SAYS HE'S THE EXPERT
IN THE BUILDING SO I LISTENED
FOR AWHILE. HAD A COUPLE OF
MEETINGS WITH THEM. THEN LEFT
AND THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER HE
CAME AFTER HE CAME TO TALK TO
ME ABOUT THE DD COMMUNITY.
DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITY COMMUNITY. AND WE
TALK TO ME AT A GREAT
CONVERSATION WE TALKED ABOUT
RESOLUTIONS FOR THE DD
COMMUNITY. AND THEN I WAS
WALKING OUT OF THE BACKSIDE OF
THE BUILDING AND I RAN INTO
IRWIN. AND WE STARTED WALKING
DOWN THE WALKWAY. ANY ASKED ME
ABOUT MY LOVE LIFE HE ASKED ME
ABOUT. YES HE GOT MY LOVE LIFE
HE ASKED ME ABOUT. MY FAMILY.
AND SO THE NEXT MORNING I CAME
TO STAFF AND I SAID WHO IS THIS
GUY IRWIN. LIKE WHO IS HE- AND
SO THEY SAID WELL HE'S THE
SAVANT HE WORKS FOR. THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY HE WORKS FOR
THE DEMOCRAT LEGISLATURE HE
KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT CHAPTER
IN OUT. HE'S VERY SMART ON GUN
BILLS AND HE'S BEEN ABLE TO
NAVIGATE THROUGH THOSE THINGS.
AND IT'S SO I LEARNED A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT WHO OR WHEN WAS
BECAUSE I KNOW IDEA. AND THEN
IT WAS ABOUT A MONTH LATER WHEN
WE WERE WORKING REALLY HARD ON
THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY AND-
HE WORKED REALLY HARD BEHIND
THE SCENES AND NO ONE KNOWS
THAT. BETTER I'M OUT IN YOU
HERE TODAY. AND THIS MAN WORKED
REALLY HARD BEHIND THE SCENES
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE GOVERNOR.
ASSIGNED OF THE LEGISLATION
INTO LAW THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL
TO OUR DISABILITY COMMUNITY. SO
THAT THEY COULD WORK AND LIVE
FULL VIBRANT LIVES. OUTSIDE OF
BASIC WAREHOUSING INSTITUTIONS.
AND HE WAS EXTREMELY.
BENEFICIAL AS A MATTER OF FACT
I GAVE HIM AN IDEA. AND HE
SAID. THAT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA
MISS GROVE. I'M GONNA TAKE THAT
SOMEPLACE AND THE NEXT DAY THE
OFFICE PHONE CALL CAME THROUGH.
AND EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE
OFFICE. IT WOULD KIND OF WENT
LIKE THIS ON THE PHONE. AND IS
ON THE PHONE FOR YOU. AND
BROWN. AND I SAID WELL AND SO I
TOOK THE PHONE CALL AND SHE
SAYS IRWIN BROUGHT ME THIS
INFORMATION AND I THINK THAT WE
NEED TO. WORK ON THIS AND SO
SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL WITH THE
GOVERNOR AND WHEN DID THAT. SO
I'M ADDING YOU BUT THEY'LL BE
NO PUNISHMENT OR ANYTHING
BECAUSE YOU'RE LEAVING RIGHT
SO. IT'S SO BUT HE REALLY WAS
VERY HELPFUL IN THAT AND I AM
FOREVER GRATEFUL BECAUSE THAT
COMMUNITY HAS MY HEART. AND I
REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT AND I
KNOW THAT AFTER DEALING WITH
YOU ALL THESE YEARS. AND NOW ON
THE SENATE FLOOR. YOU HAVE THE
A VERY HUGE HEART SIR AND I
WISH YOU ALL THE BEST. THAT GOD
HAS FOR YOU IN YOUR FUTURE SO

IRWIN AND HIS WIFE JUDITH THANK
YOU FOR BEING HERE TOO AND EVEN
THOUGH HE'S RETIRING FROM THIS
INSTITUTION HE IS MY MOST
PROMINENT CONSTITUENTS. SO HE'S
NOT CERTAINLY NOT LEAVING ME.
BUT YOU KNOW HE CERTAINLY NEEDS
NO INTRODUCTION WE'VE HEARD AND
NO INVITATION I THINK IS MANY
OF US QUICKLY LEARN. IT'S AS IF
IT'S A BIT OF A SHOCK. TO
REALIZE THAT IRWIN IS RETIRING
BUT I. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT I
DON'T IT THAT HE'S NOT TO BE
WALKING INTO MY OFFICE AND
PROBABLY MANY OF YOURS IT AS
THE YEARS GO ON SO. YOU KNOW HE
IS A LEGEND HE'S PERHAPS THE
MOST WELL KNOWN STAFF IN THE
BUILDING HE IS OFFICIALLY I
DON'T THE OTHER USES TITLE FOR
YOUR ONE THE PRINCIPAL
CONSULTANT TO THE SENATE RULES
COMMITTEE BUT AN AS ANYONE EVER
USE THAT TITLE FOR HIM AND THE
I'VE THAT DOES ALL THE YEARS
I'VE BEEN HERE. THE AND BUT AS
WE ALL KNOW AND THE LA TIMES
POINTED OUT THIS LABEL
CERTAINLY IS INADEQUATE. WE
JUST KNOWN AS IRWIN. WE GIVE
YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND
THEY KNOW THAT WE TALKED THE
LEGUMES GROUP IN LONG ISLAND.
THE NORTH SHORE OF LONG ISLAND
HIS FATHER ABRAHAM WAS A
SUCCESSFUL ACCOUNTANT ADVISER
TO NEW YORK MAYOR. DAVID
DINKINS. HIS MOTHER ROSALYN WAS
A HOUSEWIFE WAS ACTIVE IN THE
COMMUNITY. NO IT WENT TO DREW

AMERICANIZED USE. AND THAT. HE
STARTED IN THE CAPITAL WORKING
FOR SOMETHING MEMBERS THE PEACE
AND IN NINETEEN EIGHTY FIVE HE
THEN WORKED FOR SOAMES PRO TEM
DON PERATA. AND THE ASSEMBLY
AND SENATE RULES COMMITTEE AND
CERTAINLY WE'VE HEARD HE'S
PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN MANY
OF OUR STATES. LEGISLATION
CLEANING GUNS PENSIONS AND OF
COURSE CHATTERING OUT AS WE
HEARD HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS SO
IF YOU EVER HAVE A QUESTION.
YOU'RE ALMOST ON THE NEED TO
ASK HE WILL COME AND TELL YOU.
SO CERTAINLY THIS IS AN END OF
AN ERA BUT I'M SURE HE'S GOING
TO BE VISITING US OFFICE AND IF
YOU EVER WONDERED. HOW MUCH
IT'S BEEN COSTING IRWIN THE
DELAY IS RETIREMENT. THIS
CONTACTED MY CHIEF OF STAFF
THEIR LOSS HE REMINDS OUR EVERY
DAY. SO IRWIN THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR THIRTY FOUR YEARS OF

MUCH ARE YOU GOOD ADVICE AND
THE AND YOU GOT TO LESSONS AND
LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IN THE
OFFICE AND. MAJORITY LEADER
HERTZBERG THE FLOORS ARE SIR.
THANK YOU UP. MISTER PRESIDENT
I WANT TO ADDRESS TO PEOPLE.
THAT ARE NOT THE HONOREE. BUT
WHO ARE. CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
IN HIS LIFE AND IN OUR LIVES
FIRST IN THE BACK OF THE
CHAMBER OF FORMER MEMBER THE
ASSEMBLY FOR TEN YEARS A MEMBER
OF THIS HOUSE FOR TEN YEARS THE
FORMER DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
STEVE PIECE WHO BROUGHT US
THREE IMPORTANT THINGS THE
ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES
IN NINETEEN SEVENTY EIGHT.
ALONG WITH CENTER BROKE THE
ELECTRIC DEREGULATION IN
NINETEEN NINETY FOUR. AND WHEN
KNOWING. THE MOST IMPACTFUL
ELEMENT OF HIS HEAD TENURE HERE
HE BROUGHT HIM HERE YEARS AGO
COME FROM SAN DIEGO AND HAS
BEEN PART OF THE LARGER STEVE
PIECE FAMILY AND REMAINS PART
OF THE LARGE LARGER STEVE PIECE
UP FAMILY. IN ADDITION. I HAD
MET SO. THE ON A READER. MANY
YEARS AGO MORE THAN FORTY YEARS
AGO WHEN USED TO STEAL LAW
BOOKS OUT OF MY LAW OFFICE. BUT
THAT'S NOT REALLY RELEVANT THE
REASON THAT'S IMPORTANT IN THE
REAL REASON THE MOST IMPORTANT
REASON I STAND IS BECAUSE OF
THE PERSON THAT STANDS NEXT TO
HIM. JUDITH GHARBI. JUDITH
GARVEY. I THINK I DON'T
ACTUALLY KNOW THEY'RE STILL
FIANCE OR MARRIED I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY BUT THEY HAVE BEEN
TOGETHER FOREVER JUNE. WHAT.
TWENTY NINE YEARS AND JUDITH
GARVEY WHEN I SERVED BEFORE AT
IN THE BEGINNING OF MY CAREER
WAS THE PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT AT
THE ASSEMBLY PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE SHE NOW IS A-
DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN THE CITY
AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
AND BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE ON
SHE IS THE MOST BRILLIANT HARD
WORKING PERSON I HAVE EVER MET
IN THE AREA PUBLIC POP IN THE
AREA PUBLIC SAFETY WHAT SHE DID
I'M JUST TELLING YOU EVERYBODY
KNOWS I DON'T SLEEP VERY MUCH.
THE FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING
JEWELERS ARE STILL IN THE
OFFICE IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN THE
BUILDING OUR OFFICE WAS WHERE
THE PARKING LOT IS IN NOW WITH
THE SWING SPACES GOING UP.
OWNER SELF. AND I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT HAPPENED WITH HOW SHE HOW
SHE PERFORMED IN OUR ONE IS
ALWAYS AROUND OF COURSE BECAUSE
WE DON'T A LOT OF GUN ISSUES
THOSE DAYS. BUT BUT WHAT SHE
DID. AND WHAT SHE CONTINUES TO
DO IN THE AREA OF. A PUBLIC
SAFETY IS NOTHING LESS AN
EXTRAORDINARY WE WOULDN'T JUST
IN THOSE DAYS WE HAD SEVEN
HUNDRED AND FIVE BILLS AND ONE
YEAR IN OUR COMMITTEE. BECAUSE
AS YOU KNOW THE PENDULUM SWINGS
IN PUBLIC. IN OUR WORLD THAT IN
THOSE DAYS EVERYONE KNEW TOUGH
ON CRIME BILL. AND SO THE
CHALLENGE OF TRYING TO DO THAT
WAS NOTHING LESS AN
EXTRAORDINARY. AND SHE WEAVED
IT IN THE MOST ELOQUENT MANNER.
AND WHAT SHE AT THE END OF THE
AT THE END OF THE TERM. HE
SPENT ALL THE TIME DURING THE
BREAK PUTTING TOGETHER A BOOK.
WHICH I THOUGHT WAS NOTHING
LESS THAN BRILLIANT. AS THE
KEMAH COPY CITY IT IN MY HOME
IN MY- HOME OFFICE. THAT LOOKED
AT. HE WAS THE PROBLEM WE WERE
TRYING TO STALL. AND HERE'S HOW
WITH SALT. INSTEAD OF WHAT
HAPPENED SO OFTEN THE
LEGISLATIVE BRANCH OF
GOVERNMENT WHICH WE JUST. HAD
THIS STUFF SHE REALLY ELEGANTLY
WE'VE GOT. AN WAS SO IMPORTANT
PART. OF THIS LEGISLATURE GEN
PORTENT PART OF CALIFORNIA. AND
OF COURSE. SUCH AN IMPORTANT.
ANCHOR TO IRWIN AS MUCH AS
ANYBODY CAN ANCHOR OR WHEN SO
IS PART OF THAT TO THE EXTENT
THAT IRWIN DESERVES RECOGNITION
HE DESERVES RECOGNITION. BY
BEING ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH A
STRONG INTELLIGENT BRILLIANT.
UNBELIEVABLY INCREDIBLE WOMAN
FOR TWENTY NINE YEARS AND THAT
SAYS SOMETHING SOMETHING GOOD
ABOUT IRWIN. SENATORS WE'D LIKE
TO TURN THE FLOOR OVER THERE
PORTANTINO. SENATOR DOLLY AND
SENATOR MITCHELL. THANK YOU
MISTER PRESIDENT DAFT IT'S AN
HONOR TO STAND HERE AND TALK
ABOUT WOMEN JUDITH WHEN I WAS A
FRESHMAN ASSEMBLY MEMBER IRWIN
SHOWED UP IN MY OFFICE AND I
WENT WHOSE THAT. AND MY STAFF
EXPLAIN TO ME THAT THAT WAS
HIGH. AND THEY SAID YOU HAVE TO
BE NICE TO IRWIN BECAUSE HE
KNOWS A MORE OF WHAT'S GOING ON
IN THE CAPITAL THAN ANYONE ELSE
IS HE WANDERS INTO OFFICES ANY
WANDERS AROUND. AND EVERYBODY
TALKS TO THAT TO HIM AND HE
LEARNS MORE AND KNOWS MORE AND
95% OF THE TIME WHEN HE TELLS
YOU SOMETHING'S GOING TO
HAPPEN. HE'S ACCURATE AND SO
WHEN PARKED IN MY OFFICE WE
USED TO MAKE POPCORN BACK THEN
AND KNOWN BEHOLD WHEN I GOT
ELECTED TO THE SENATE I THINK
MANNA PRO TEM IRWIN SPENDS
ABOUT FOUR HOURS A DAY AT A
COMPUTER DESK AT MY OFFICE. AND
EVERY TIME INTERVIEW A NEW
STAFF I HAVE TO SAY WELL
THERE'S THIS GUY. I HAVE TO
TELL YOU ABOUT BECAUSE HE'S
GOING TO SHOW UP HERE TOMORROW
AND IT'S OUR NGUYEN. AND HE
ALWAYS CHALLENGES THE YOUNG
STAFF FROM MY OFFICE HE'S
ALWAYS TRYING TO BE HELPFUL.
WHAT EVER THE ISSUE IS
OBVIOUSLY ON GUN POLICY. NO ONE
KNOWS MORE ABOUT IT THAN OR
WHEN BUT HIS EXPERTISE AND HIS
INTEREST. GO BEYOND THAT HE'S
SCOPING NEWSPAPER ARTICLES OF
WHAT OTHER STATES ARE PASSING
AND ON WEEKENDS ALL GET AN
EMAIL WITH AN ARTICLE TO WHAT
HAPPENED IN IDAHO. ON AN ISSUE
OR BERMUDA ON AN ISSUE AND HE'S
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW NEW LAWS
AND NEW WAYS TO HELP THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA NOW. HE'LL ASK ME
FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY TIMES A
DAY WHAT HIS JOB IS AND HE
ALWAYS HAS M. P. MEMBER
PROTECTION. AND SO I HAVE TO
ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOUR
HUNDRED FIFTY TIMES AND WHEN I
DON'T HAVE TIME. FOR ONE AND
I'M GOING TO THE BATHROOM HE
HAS BEEN ONE TO FOLLOW ME. INTO
THE BATHROOM AND I HAVE TO
CLOSE THE STALL AND SAY WHEN
YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE WITH ME.
AND HE USUALLY WILL RESPECT TO
THE BATHROOM DOOR NOT ALWAYS
BECAUSE IF IT'S URGENT AND
IMPORTANT. HE WILL FOLLOW ME
INTO THE BATHROOM NOW JUDITH HE
IS THREATENING TO COME BACK AS
A RETIRED IN NEW IT INTO AFTER
HE RETIRES SO I DON'T KNOW IF
WE'VE OFFICIALLY WE'LL SEE THE
LAST. OF OUR WIN THIS YEAR
BECAUSE HE'S THREATENING TO
COME BACK. BUT IF HE DOESN'T
COME BACK WERE ALL WITH YOU.
BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE HIM
AND HE'S GONNA HAVE. J. P.
JUDITH PROTECTION FROM HERE ON
IN. AND SO I JUST WANT TO ADD
MY FRIENDSHIP BUT MY LOVE AND
MY RESPECT FOR EVERYTHING THAT
ARE ONE IS DONE AND ALL THE GUN
BILLS THAT WE'VE AUTHORED WE
COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT
YOU. AND NOW YOU HAVE CERTAINLY
HELPED THE STATE IN TREMENDOUS
WAYS AND JUDITH HE'S YOURS NOW.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PERSONAL.
WOULD LIKE TO SAY GOOD MORNING
TO SENATOR DOLLY YEARS ROSE.
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT. ONE
MOMENT SIR WE SHOULD BE GOOD.
THE MEASURE PRESENT MEMBERS ARE
AND I JUST WANT TO ADD ON IS AS
MOST MEMBERS OF TALKED ABOUT
THAT WHEN I CAME. IN TWO
THOUSAND AND TWELVE. YOU CAME
BY MY OFFICE AND I WAS LIKE WHO
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHO WHAT
WHAT YOU DID I THOUGHT YOU
ACTUALLY WORK FOR THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY BECAUSE YOU
KNEW MORE ABOUT MY RACE. THAN
MOST PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT MY RACE
AND JUST AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH
THE YEARS YOU COMING INTO MY
OFFICE AND TALKING TO ME ABOUT
POLITICS AND ABOUT. THE RACES
YOUR INSIGHT I HAD MY REAL
FIRST CHAPTER IN THE ISSUE WAS
COMING THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY
OVER THE SENATE AND ACTUALLY.
THE CENTER FROM BERKELEY NANCY
SKINNER HAD A BILL AND SHE SAID
AND HE SAID YOU'RE IT YOU TOLD
ME I WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A
HEADER. BUT SHE WOULD DROP MY
BILL SO WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO GET THE CHATTERING OUT
SO I APPRECIATE THAT. I ALSO
WANTED TO SHARE SOMETHING THAT
MOST YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW IS
THAT. SOMEHOW HE GOT MY CHIEF
OF STAFF TO JOIN THEM I THINK
IT'S THE MINING UNION IN
VIRGINIA. AND I DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
BUT HE'S CARRYING A CARD AND
HE'S IN A UNION NOW. SO ONE IS
ALWAYS IN MY OFFICE DOING
THINGS AND CATCHING ME ON THE
STREET. AND GIVING ME INSIDE
ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED ON THE
POLITICAL SIDE OF OUR SIDE OF
THE AISLE SO. I ENJOY YOUR MISS.
YOU I'M SURE I'LL BE SEEING YOU
SOMEWHERE CATCHING THE. IN
BETWEEN HERE IN THE PARKING
GARAGE. IS WHERE USUALLY ACOSTA
ME LET ME KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
SO. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
SERVICE TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WILL SURELY MISS
YOU. ARE ONE. THANK YOU SENATOR.
FLOORS YOUR CENTER MITCHELL
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
PRESIDENT I APPRECIATE THE
LEVITY THAT WE'RE ALL
EXPERIENCING TODAY BECAUSE I
SAT HERE AND THOUGHT ABOUT IT
MORE AND MORE I'M FEELING KIND
OF SENATE. TO BE PERFECTLY
HONEST. AND I'M FEELING SAD
BECAUSE AS I SAID WHO DID THE
CALCULATIONS I WAS AND I GUESS
IN MY HEART AND MIND ALWAYS
WILL BE A SENATE STAFFER. AND I
WAS A SENATE STAFFER LONGER NOW
THAN I HAVE SERVICE HOUSES AN
ELECTED OFFICIAL. OUR IRWIN AND
I WERE COLLEAGUES BACK WILL NOT
SENATOR BERNIE WAS PRO TEM. AND.
AS I REALIZE WHAT THIS WEEK HAS
BROUGHT US IT IS BROUGHT US
BERMAN RETIREMENT IT HAS
BROUGHT US A DATSUN WILSON'S
RETIREMENT AFTER FORTY YEARS IN
THE ASSEMBLY SIDE. AND I AM
CLEAR. I THINK BASED ON MY
STAFF MEMBER ROOTS IN HISTORY.
THAT THESE INSTITUTIONS STAND
AND RELY ON PROTOCOL IN HISTORY
AND THOROUGHNESS. AND A THIRTY
FOUR YEAR HISTORY BRINGS US OF
FOR THE SOLID MEMBERS OF QUITE
FRANKLY MEMBERS COME AND GO
MEMBERS CAME AND WENT PRE TERM
LIMITS IMPOSED TERM LIMITS. AND
SO THIS INSTITUTION RELIES. ON
HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE. MEMBERS
COME IN AND INTRODUCE BILLS AND
THINK IT'S THE BEST IDEA SINCE
SLICED BREAD AND IT REQUIRE
SOMEONE TO TELL YOU ACTUALLY NO
THAT'S BEEN TRIED A HALF A
DOZEN TIMES AND LET ME TELL YOU
WHY YOU WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL
THIS TIME EITHER. AND WE RELY
ON THAT ON BEHALF OF THE
CONSTITUENTS WE SERVE. ABOUT
TWO YEARS AGO IRWIN TOLD ME UP
LIKE HE SOLD ALL OF YOU ABOUT
HOW MUCH IT WAS COSTING HIM TO
SERVE US. AND THE PUBLIC. AND I
SAID IN MY FLIPPANT WAY IN
WHICH WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OUR
BANTER BACK AND FORTH. YOU
CAN'T LEAVE ANTI FIND SOMEONE
TO REPLACE YOU. BECAUSE OF MY
CONCERN ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF
THIS INSTITUTION AND OUR
RELIANCE ON PROTOCOL IN
HISTORY. AND SO I WOULD GET
FREQUENT UPDATES. ABOUT HIS
EFFORTS TO FIND REPLACEMENTS
ONE OF WHOM WAS IN MY OFFICE
WHO RECENTLY LEFT TO TAKE
ANOTHER JOB. BUT WE HAVE TO BE
CLEAR IN TERMS OF THE LEVEL OF
FOCUS AND COMMITMENT AND LOVE.
FOR CALIFORNIA FOR THIS
INSTITUTION THAT HE AND QUITE
FRANKLY DOTSON HAVE EMBODIED.
FOR DECADES. SO I HAVE TO SAY
THAT I THINK I WAS WRONG IN
SAYING THAT YOU NEEDED TO FIND
SOMEONE TO REPLACE YOU BECAUSE
I DON'T THINK WE CAN. WHAT WE
WILL HAVE TO DO IS MAKE SURE
THAT THE STAFF MEMBERS WHO
SERVE THIS INSTITUTION
UNDERSTAND. THE IMPORTANCE OF
THE WORK UNDERSTAND WHAT'S
HAPPENING OUT MEANS AND SEE IF
WE CAN FIND SOMEONE WHO TRIES
TO STEP IN AND FEEL YOUR SHOES.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO
THE RESIDENTS OF THE GREAT
STATE OF CALIFORNIA I FOR ONE
APPRECIATE IT. MEMBERS WOULD
LIKE TO TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO
SENATOR UMBERG IN IN SENATOR
HUESO. WELL THANK YOU MISTER
PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES WHEN ARE
YOU MAY REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST
MET WE WERE SOPHOMORES IN HIGH
SCHOOL TWENTY NINE YEARS AGO. I
WAS A BRAND NEW MEMBER THE
ASSEMBLY AND I HAD THE AUDACITY
REDUCE A GUN SAFETY BILL
WITHOUT RUNNING IT BY IRWIN. SO
THIS WAS SHORTLY AFTER I WAS
ELECTED AND YOUR IN MY OFFICE I
DON'T KNOW WHO YOU WERE. AND
YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL GUN
LEGISLATION FOR A LOOK TO SEE
THE ROSTER MEMBERS THE ASSEMBLY
AND I DIDN'T SEE YOUR NAME
THERE. BUT BUT WE SPOKE AGAIN
AND YOU SAID TO TALK TO THEN
ASSEMBLY MEMBERS THE PEACE AND
HE WOULD FILL ME AND STEVE DID
HE TOLD ME YOU NEED TO RUN DONE
STUFF BY IRWIN BEFORE YOU. MOVE
ON ANY ISSUE RELATED GUNS AND
SO I DID SO I DEVELOPED A VERY
CLOSE FREQUENT INTIMATE
RELATIONSHIP WITH WHEN YOU MAY
NOTICE I'M NOT INTRODUCED IN A
GUN LEGISLATION SINCE THEN WHEN
WERE YOU HELP ME. YOU MENTORED
ME HERE AS AS A YOUNG PERSON IS
THE YOUNG MEMBER THE
LEGISLATURE AND I WAS VERY
FORTUNATE TO GET JUDITH GARVEY
ALSO WHEN JOHN BURTON CHAIRED
PUBLIC SAFETY IF YOU CAN
IMAGINE THAT JOHN BURTON AND
BARBARA LEE AND TOM BATES ALSO
A PUBLIC SAFETY. AND JUDITH WAS
AT THAT TIME WAS DISTRIBUTED
STILL IS DEPUTY DISTRICT
ATTORNEYS THEM SO SHE HAD BEEN.
BLOWN TO US UP HERE. IN BETWEEN
TWO OF. HEY POWERFUL FORCE FOR

THANK YOU SENATOR SCOTTY. WE'D
LIKE TO TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO
THE DEAN OF THE SENATE CENTER
NIELSEN. LEADING DOWN THE
SENATE DIE. GO BACK PROBABLY
FURTHER THAN ANY OF YOU WITH
THIS MN TO THE MID EIGHTIES
WHEN HE FIRST CAME HERE AND I
WAS SERVING AS REPUBLICAN
LEADER. AND IT WAS AN ADMIRING
HIS INTELLECT. THE WARRIORS
INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY. AND ONE
OF THE PROBLEMS THAT CAME FROM.
IS A LOSS. INSTITUTIONAL MEMBER.
IT IS A GENERATION OF SOCIETAL
PHENOMENON AS WELL. IN SOCIETY
PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO CARE AS
MUCH ABOUT HISTORY. THAT IS NOT
IMPORTANT IT'S ABOUT ME ABOUT
NOW. WELL IF THAT IS YOUR
ATTITUDE YOUR DECISIONS WILL
NOT BE AS A REASON. AS LONG
LASTING AND IS AFFECTING. URBAN
NOTES INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY. OF
THE INSTITUTION OF ITS RULES OF
THE PLAYERS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE
IN THOSE PERSONALITIES HAVE HAD
A DIFFERENCE. ON THE ISSUE OF
CALIFORNIA NOT JUST WHAT DATE
DID THOSE INDIVIDUALS BUT THEIR
PERSONALITIES AS WELL. HE KNOWS
THAT. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IF
YOU ARE AWARE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE
AS HE IS. WELL THEN YOU MAKE
YOUR DECISIONS TODAY. BASED ON
CONTEXT. AND YOUR
PREDICTABILITY ABOUT THE
CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISION.
ARE GOING TO BE MORE GROUNDED
AND FOUND IT. THE POLICY WILL
BE BETTER. HE HAS BEEN ONE OF
THOSE PEOPLE IN THE BACKGROUND.
INNOCUOUS WHATEVER PRESENT.
INNOCUOUS BECAUSE YOU'RE COMMON
SCREAMING DOWN THE HALLWAY NEED
JUST ISSUES OUT. THE SMOKE BY.
ALWAYS HELPFUL ADVICE. WE MAY
DISAGREE ON SOME THINGS BUT IS
OUGHT BY THE VICE IS ALWAYS A
GREAT VALUE. MY POINT IS THAT
WE ALL NEED TO BE MORE
RESPECTFUL. AN INTELLECTUALLY
CURIOUS OURSELVES. ABOUT WHAT
WENT ON BEFORE. HOW THINGS WERE
DONE ONCE UPON A TIME. BECAUSE
EVERYTHING IS NOT BETTER NOW.
AND THIS MAN. IT WOULD BE WHAT
I CALL KIND OF THE GLUE. THE
HOLES THE INSTITUTION. AND IT'S
THE INTEGRITY TOGETHER. NOT
DISPOSED TO SEND A MESSAGE BUT
I DON'T THINK I WILL BECAUSE I
THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE HIM. I
THINK THIS INSTITUTION IS A
VERY PART OF HIS BEING. AND I
FIND COMFORT. IN KNOWING THAT
WILL STILL BE AROUND. I NAY
SAYING IS FRASER'S FOR WHAT HE
HAS DONE THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA IN HIS YEARS OF
SERVICE HERE. THANK YOU MY
FRIEND. MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO
BE A TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO

NINETY FOUR WHEN I RAN AN
UNSUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN. FOR

MORE KNOCKING ON DOORS IN WHAT
WAS I AM SUCCESSFUL EFFORT AT
THAT TIME BUT IT WASN'T ONES
FALL THAT WE LOST. AND THROUGH
THE YEARS. HERE SINCE I'VE COME
TO THE ASSEMBLY IN THE SENATE.
IRWIN HAS ALWAYS ENGAGED WE'VE
OFTEN TALKED ABOUT CAMPAIGNS IN
THE POLITICAL FRONT HERE BUT
HE'S ALSO APPROACH TO ME.

JUST JUMPING INTO THE HEART OF
THE MANNER. WE HAVE TO TALK

BUT IRWIN AND I CAN TELL THE I
KNOW A THING ABOUT SWAGGER AND
THIS IS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WALKS
IN UNANNOUNCED WITH THAT
INCREDIBLE SWAGGER DOWN THE
HALLWAY WITH ITS IN THE SENATE
OR THE ASSEMBLY SITE NOW. I'VE
BEEN REMINDED FOR THE PAST
EIGHT YEARS OF SERVING IN THIS
INCREDIBLE INSTITUTION THE PAST
EIGHT YEARS THAT I WAS NOT A
MILLIONAIRE AND THAT IRWIN WAS
A MILLIONAIRE HIMSELF NOW AND
THAT AS MENTIONED BY THE CENTER
FROM SANTA MONICA THE B. C.
CLASS FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT THE B. C. CLASS IT IS NOT
BEFORE CHRIST THE B. C. CLASSES
THE BILLIONAIRE'S CLASS YOU
KNOW THAT IRWIN. HAS
REPRESENTED FOR MANY MANY YEARS.
NOW. LET ME SAY THIS TO ALL THE
INDIVIDUALS HERE EVEN THE
NEWEST MEMBERS OF COME UP HERE
BUT ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO CAN
BE TRIMMING OUT IN THE NEXT
ROUND NEXT YEAR ONE OF THE
HARDEST PARTS THAT I HAVE DEALT
WITH WITH BEING A TURNED OUT
MEMBER TO BE QUITE FRANK WITH
YOU. IS IRWIN WITHDRAWAL.
HAVING SOMEONE YOU KNOW. ALWAYS
CONSTANTLY IN MY EAR TELLING ME
HOW I ROYALLY SCREWED UP GUN
LEGISLATION POLICY. IN THE
SENATE BODY OR TELLING ME HOW
CAN WE SORT OF KINDA. A SCREW
ASSEMBLY YOU KNOW AND THAT WAS
OR WHEN ALL THE TIME ALWAYS
PRODDED THIS INSTITUTION ALWAYS
STICKING UP FOR THIS
INSTITUTION ALWAYS SIGNUP FOR
THE RED CARPET. THIS IS WHO
THIS INDIVIDUAL IS AND IT'S
BEEN SORT TAKE PLACE SO
INCREDIBLY WITH EVERY
INDIVIDUAL WHO'S LOOKED AT
THEIR MIKE UP. TODAY NOW. A
CAPITAL A CALIFORNIA STATE
CAPITOL. HERE IN SACRAMENTO.
WITHOUT IN OR WHEN WITHOUT
IRWIN IS THE PHANTOM WITHOUT
THE OF THE OPERA WITHOUT THE
PHANTOM OR THE LAWS OR THE
WIZARD OF THE OZ WITHOUT THE
WHIZZER. THAT'S HOW MUCH OF
THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS MEANT TO
ALL OF US AND AS THE FLOYD. THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER DICK FLOYD
FAMOUSLY STATED A FEW DECADES
AGO THAT THERE WAS A SO CALLED
IMAGINARY DMZ FOR ONE LINE AT
IRWIN LINE THE BOUNDARY THAT HE
WAS NOT TO CROSS. AT ANY TIME
HE ENTERED HIS OFFICE NO I
DON'T EVEN OVER WHEN YOU'RE
RESPECTED A RECOGNIZE THAT
EDICT FROM ASSEMBLY MEMBER DICK
FLOYD AT THE TIME. BUT I CAN
SAY THIS. THAT RUINS LEGACY
LIVES. ON EVERY SINGLE CORNER
OF THE STATE CAPITOL. IRWIN HAS
HAD IN TREMENDOUS IMPACT AND IS
IMPACTED THE LIVES OF SO MANY
CALIFORNIANS. NOW WE TALK ABOUT
CHAPTER RING IN AS THE APPROACH
CHAIR OF THE ASSEMBLY SIDE AS
THE PROBES CHAIR HERE IN THE
SENATE AS THE PRO TEM. MADAM
PRESIDENT. I STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT CHAPTER YES OR IN ROLE
MINISTERTHIS DAY I DON'T KNOW
THIS IS SOMETHING IRWIN JUST
CREATED HIMSELF TO CREA I GOT
TO CREATE A JOB FOR HIMSELF THE
LAST FOR SO MANY DECADES. HERE
IN THE CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE
BUT HE HAS HAD AN INDELIBLE
MARK. ON THIS INSTITUTION IN
THE LIVES OF SO MANY OF US
B C REPUBLICANS AS WELL AS
DEMOCRATS HIS LEGACY. WILL LIVE
ON FOREVER. THIS IS AN
INDIVIDUAL. WHO IS A MENSCH.
IRWIN AMIGO HEY THIS
INDEPENDENT MODEL THAT IS A YOU
DISH THAT YOUR GREAT BROTHER MY
FRIEND CONGRATULATIONS EACH AND
EVERYONE IN. PROGRESS AS A
FRIEND. MEMBERS THIS IS BEEN A
WONDERFUL MORNING. AND TO BE
ABLE TO CLOSE THIS OUT.
AMERICANS THE FLOOR IS YOURS
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT AND
LET ME JUST START BY SAYING I'M
NOT SURE THAT I ACTUALLY
DESERVE THE HONOR TO CLOSE THIS
OUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME GIVEN
ALL OF THE HISTORY OF HER BUT
I'M GOING TO DO IT. SO I'M
HONORED TO BE ABLE TO DO IT AND
I WANT TO START ITH AN
INCREDIBLE THANK YOU. TO OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM SANTA MONICA.
FOR THE HONORABLE JOB THAT HE
DID AND THE SERIOUSNESS WITH
WHICH HE PUT THIS TOGETHER. I
WAS BLOWN AAY AND I THANK YOU
FOR TAKING THIS AS SERIOUS AS
YOU DID SO THAT WE WOULD DO
THIS RIGHT. IT'S IMPORTANT SO I
WANT TO THANK HIM FOR THAT. YOU
KNOW IT'S INTERESTING. TODAY'S
A BIG DAY FOR US AS YOU ALL
KNOW. OUR COLLEAGUE FROM
PASADENA'S GOT SOME WORK TO DO
AND SO ONE WOULD THINK THAT I
WOULD GET A LOT OF PHONE CALLS
LAST NIGHT FROM ASSEMBLY
MEMBERS. WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND
PROCESS BUT NO I GET CALLS FROM
PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO SAY CAN I
COME CAN I BE THERE CAN I SPEAK
I INTEND TO SHOW UP FOR IRWIN.
AND SO I THINK IT IS REALLYWONDERFUL THAT WE GET TO DO
THIS TODAY AND TO ALL OF MY
COLLEAGUES WHO GAVE INCREDIBLE
STORIES THAT IS WHAT THIS IS
ABOUT IT IS THE CUMULATIVE
IMPACT. THAT SOMEONE HAS HAD ON
OUR LIVES ON THE LAWS OF THIS
INSTITUTION AND FRANKLY ON THE
LIVES OF OUR CALIFORNIANS AND I
WAS AS AMAZED AS ANY OF YOU TO
LEARN THAT THERE WASN'T IRWIN.
AND WHAT THAT MEANT IT TOOK ME
SIX YEARS IN THE ASSEMBLY. TO
LEARN IT BECAUSE- WHEN I BECAME
SPEAKER WHAT WAS REALLY
INTERESTING IS I ALWAYS HAD A
STAFF MEMBER THAT SEEM TO GET
BETWEEN ME. THE IRWIN. I SEEM
COMMON I DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS
BUT IMMEDIATELY SOMEONE WOULD
GET IN BETWEEN ME AS IF THEY
WERE SECURITY AND I'M LIKE WHAT
IS THIS AND I ALWAYS HEARD
THESE INITIALS IMPEDE IMPEDE
IMPEDE FROM HIM AND I'M ONE DAY
I FINALLY SAID OH SEVEN OR WHAT
IS HE TALKING ABOUT WHO IS HE-
AND SO THE IRWIN STORIES HAVE
BEEN TOLD AND RETOLD IN THE
BUILDING THEY'RE LEGENDS OF
OLD. AND FOR ME I WILL SHARE
TWO ONE I WAS A SENT A NEW
SENATOR AND GOVERNOR KATE BROWN
WHO I HAPPEN TO KNOW STOP BY TO
SAY HELLO TO ME ON THE FOURTH
FLOOR AND WE HAD JUST WRAPPED
UP A MEETING AND WE'RE LEAVING
THE OFFICE AND I SAW IRWIN DOWN
THE. THE PATHWAY TO THE LOBBY
OF MY OFFICE. AND HE WAS MID
SENTENCE ALREADY ABOUT WHATEVER
HE WAS LYING IN WAIT TO TALK TO
ME ABOUT. AND I WAS MOMENTARILY
PARALYZED. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE
SEES A CAR WRECK ABOUT TO
HAPPEN AND IS POWERLESS TO STOP
IT. AND THEN I HAD THE PRESENCE
OF MIND TO LOOK AT MY CHIEF OF
STAFF NICK AND SAY. YET I'LL
TAKE CARE OF THIS. BUT. WHEN HE
GOT THERE HERE IS WHAT HE HEARD
HE'S TALKING TALKING TALKING
WAIT I KNOW WHO YOU ARE
GOVERNOR KATE BROWN AND THEN
WHEN STARTED I KID YOU NOT TO
RATTLE OFF ALL THE GUN BILLS
THAT ORGAN HAD PASSED AND
PROCEEDED TO TELL HER WHAT
PROBLEM SHE HAD WITH EACH OF
THE ONES THAT NEEDED TO BE
ADJUSTED. NOW YOU CAN ONLY
IMAGINE. WHAT THE GOVERNOR OF
OREGON MUST HAVE THOUGHT. WHY
DOES CALIFORNIA HAVE SOMEONE
STAFFING AND STOCKING MY
LEGISLATION. YOU KNOW IT WAS
OUT YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF
UP RIGHT THE OTHER DAY I HEARD
A STORY OVER WHEN THAT I HADN'T
HEARD BEFORE. I THAT REALLY
TOUCHED MY HEART THAT MANY
YEARS AGO HE MAY HAVE ACTUALLY
SAVE THE LIFE OF ONE OF MY
STAFF MEMBERS. UP WITH MY STAFF
MEMBERS TODAY WHEN SHE WAS A
CHILD BY NOTICING THAT SHE WAS
CHOKING BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DID.
AND THAT GOOD DEED ALONE EARNED
SOME SERIOUS CAPITAL KARMA. YOU
KNOW EVERY SESSION SINCE I'VE
BEEN HERE ERNEST TURNED HIS
LASER LIKE FOCUS TO OUR SAVING
OUR BILLS LATE NIGHT EMAILS AS
ALL OF YOU HAVE HAVE SHARED
ALREADY BY NOTICING THOSE
MASTER BASHER CHAPTER RING OUT
PROBLEMS AND I NEVER UNDERSTAND
WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE
HE STARTS MID SENTENCE. AND I
JUST FORWARDED TO NECKING
KIMBERLY INSIDE FIGURE THIS OUT
TAKE CARE OF IT BUT THEY'RE
ALREADY COPIED ON THE EMAIL SO
I'M NOT SURE WHY I BOTHER YOU
KNOW IT AND AS SOME OF MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE ALREADY SAID
IT'S NOT THE MOST GLAMOROUS
PART OF GOVERNING BUT IT'S
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AND NO ONE
DOES IT LIKE OR WHEN. AND SO I
THINK IT'S ALMOST IMPORT IT'S
ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT
WITH ALL OF HIS PERSONAL
RESOURCES AND I GOTTA SAY OR
AND IF I WERE A MEMBER OF THE
BC CLASS. I'M NOT SURE YEARS
WHERE I'D BE SPENDING MY TIME.
BUT PLEASE DON'T ANYBODY QUOTE
ME ON THAT BECAUSE I'M UP FOR
REELECTION. I LIKE ALL OF YOU
OF HONOR TO SERVE HERE.
PROFOUNDLY HONORED AND WHAT I
WOULD SAY IS THAT HE COULD HAVE
GONE ANYWHERE HE COULD HAVE
DONE ANYTHING. BUT HE CHOSE THE
CAPITAL HE CHOSE SERVING THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA ALWAYS
FOLLOWING THAT NUMBER ONE RULE
MEMBER PROTECTION HOW FORTUNATE
ARE WE- THAT WE HAVE HAD THIS

BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND I
HAVEN'T KEPT UP WITH ALL OF THE

SURROUNDING THE NAFTA ISSUE AT
THE FEDERAL LEVEL BECAUSE IT
HASN'T COME BEFORE US AS A BODY
BUT GIVEN THAT IT HAS IT CAUSED
ME TO GIVE SOME GREAT
REFLECTION TO THIS AND WHILE
THERE ARE THINGS THAT I DON'T
AGREE WITH WITH OUR PRESIDENT
NOW. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
WILL HELP THE CALIFORNIA
ECONOMY SPECIFICALLY AND THAT
IN THE AREA OF AG PRODUCTION
AND THE EXPORTS THAT WE
CURRENTLY DO WITH CANADA AND
MEXICO AND I THINK WHEN WE
STRICTLY LOOK AT THE POLICY
THAT IS BEING PROPOSED HERE IN
