Speaker List:

  • Rep Donato Chair
  • Timothy Caroll Mass House of Representatives
  • Mr. Smolar Formerly of 3 Rivers

Synopsis:

The legislative hearing opened with Rep Donato calling the session to order. He requested members and guests to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, led by the Hudson Group. The chair took the opportunity to recognize and welcome the Hudson High School football team, the Division 6 state champions, as guests of Speaker Pro Tem Kate Hogan. Rep Donato shared a personal anecdote about learning to swim at Lake Boone and expressed his delight in having the team present.

Following this, Rep Donato introduced the Sutton Joe, also known as the Sutton Sammies, a girls' soccer team who had achieved the distinguished feat of winning four state championships. They were also welcomed to the House of Representatives, highlighting the session's focus on celebrating local sporting achievements.

Timothy Caroll from the Mass House of Representatives announced the order that the House, upon adjournment, would reconvene the following Thursday at 11 AM. The procedure for adopting the order was straightforward, with Rep Donato calling for an "aye" or "nay" vote. The ayes prevailed, and the order was adopted without contest.

The session concluded with Mr. Smolar, identified as being formerly from 3 Rivers, initiating a motion for adjournment. The motion proceeded smoothly, with another round of "aye" and "nay" votes, resulting in the decision to adjourn. The House was set to meet again in an informal session on the following Thursday.

Throughout the session, the emphasis remained on acknowledging and celebrating local academic and sports accomplishments, integrating routine legislative procedures seamlessly with community recognition.
