 CHAIRMAN LEMAN brings up HCR 34 (ALASKA GARDEN WEEK) as the next              
 order of business before the Senate State Affairs Committee and               
 calls Ms. Giguere.                                                            
                                                                               
 Number 024                                                                    
                                                                               
 LYNDA GIGUERE, Aide to Representative Hudson, states HCR 34 is                
 introduced by Representative Hudson every year on behalf of the               
 Juneau Garden Club.  The resolution is to recognize the importance            
 of gardening, especially here in Juneau.                                      
                                                                               
 Number 032                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN LEMAN asks if there is any objection to the discharge of             
 HCR 34.                                                                       
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR asks how long Representative Hudson has been in the            
 legislature.                                                                  
                                                                               
 (There is general consensus that Representative Hudson has been in            
 the legislature for about eight years.)                                       
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR states the only reason he asks, is that a resolution           
 costs the state about 17,000$.  Senator Taylor says the same thing            
 can be accomplished with a citation.                                          
                                                                               
 (Senator Taylor's figure of 17,000$ for the cost of a resolution is           
 questioned by the chairman.)                                                  
                                                                               
 MS. GIGUERE responds that Representative Hudson attempted to                  
 establish Alaska Garden Week as an annual event, but it didn't get            
 done.  Ms. Giguere tells Senator Taylor she will pass on his                  
 comments to Representative Hudson.                                            
 CHAIRMAN LEMAN asks if there is any further discussion on HCR 34.             
                                                                               
 Number 055                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR MILLER makes a motion to discharge HCR 34 from the Senate             
 State Affairs Committee with individual recommendations.                      
                                                                               
 Number 056                                                                    
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN LEMAN, hearing no objection, orders HCR 34 released from             
 committee with individual recommendations.
