SB 358-NAMING STATE FERRIES
CHAIRMAN COWDERY said he did not know if members had an
opportunity to read the packet and noted that school children did
a good job writing essays for the contest. One winner of the
contest selected the name "Fairweather." Wesley Tyrrell's essay
contained a pretty good analogy. "Chenega" was the other winning
name. That ferry will be named after the Chenega Glacier. SB
358 is a piece of legislation to make those choices legal.
MS. KELLY HUBER, staff to Senate President Rick Halford,
explained the bill was introduced through the Senate Rules
Committee as a formality. Senate President Halford and House
Speaker Porter, as well as Lieutenant Governor Ulmer, judged the
contest. To make the process legal and name the next two ferries
on the production line "Fairweather" and "Chenega," a bill must
go through the legislative process and be signed by the Governor.
MS. HUBER informed the committee that many very good essays were
submitted. The essays were interesting and children from all
over the state participated.
CHAIRMAN COWDERY said he had a chance to read the essays and was
very impressed. He asked if there was anyone else to testify.
[No response.]
SENATOR WARD moved SB 358 from committee with individual
recommendations. There being no objection, the motion carried.
