Synopsis:
The transcript begins with formalities related to the start of a legislative session, which includes a pledge of allegiance led by Speaker1. The committee on rules, working in conjunction with the rules of both branches, recommends suspending joint rule 12 for a petition concerning the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. This petition involves Edward R. Phillips and Michael F. Rush, although the specific details of the legislation are not elaborated within this section.
Mister Vitolo from Brookline moves to suspend the rules, with the motion carrying as there is no opposition. Speaker1 confirms the suspension of joint rule 12 following a brief recess. This procedural aspect likely reflects the agreement on an administrative matter ceremoniously conducted for record purposes.
The session pauses to honor the memory of Robert Ziggy Zagorowski, a respected community advocate from Chicopee. Miss Zarego leads this tribute, highlighting his contributions as a police officer, the originator of the canine unit, and initiator of the DARE program. His death at the age of 80 is marked by expressions of loss from the community he served for many years.
Proceedings then resume with a routine announcement, laying out the adjournment order, which Speaker2 articulates. Miss Kane from Shrewsbury moves for the house to adjourn, with the next meeting scheduled, affirming a routine legislative function.
While no detailed discussion on legislative content such as bills or emergency assistance shelters is present in this transcript excerpt, procedural and ceremonial aspects of the session are covered, illustrating the routine functions and tributes within the legislative body.
