Thank
you,
mr

and
members
as
we
were
going
through
the
resolutions
earlier.
Obviously,
we

not
be
here
on
monday,
be
in
your
communities
with
your
family,
celebrating
martin
luther
king
jr
day
and
his
legacy.
So
I
didn't
highlight
that
earlier.
I
should
have
mentioned
that
on
the
resolution
we
passed,
I
had
a
couple
folks
come
up
and
say
hey
what
was
that
resolution,
and
it
was
the
senate
resolution
saying
that
ordinarily
we'll
be
here
monday.
We
will
not
be
in
session
on
monday.
