On the recordJanuary 30, 2014
I am sure not many people care, but the reason I didn't go first today is that those of us who serve in office depend on other people to prepare materials for us so we can make a reasonably good presentation. Well, I came here today and looked at my stuff--it was yesterday's. So I figured I would be better off waiting until I got the right one--which reminds me of something I heard as a very young Lieutenant Governor. This story may be true; it didn't happen to me, but I have always remembered it. It has always made me aware of the great work my staff does. A man is used to his staff preparing his remarks, flowery remarks, and always so very, very well. He has a long speech he has to deliver. He gets to page 5, and it says, ``OK, you SOB, you are on your own'' and the rest is blank. I remembered that today, and figured I had better wait until my office had the right speech. ____________________
