Announcements, Adjournment Honors, and Remarks Under Special Privilege
Senator Wanggaard, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Officer John Hetland. On the night of June 17, 2019, Officer John Hetland took action, intervening in an armed robbery at a local establishment despite technically being “off duty”. Being true to his character and displaying courage and selflessness, John ultimately gave his life to protect his fellow community members and uphold the law. Officer John Hetland began his law enforcement career with the Racine Police Department in 1995 and was a trusted and highly respected member of the department. He displayed great leadership during his 24 years with the Racine Police Department, honorably serving in various positions throughout his career, including as a field training officer and a member of the Greater Racine FBI Gang Task Force. John will be remembered for having a servant’s heart, always volunteering his time and talents to better the community and for making a profound and positive impact in community. John was a loving son to Ronald and Rachelle Hetland and a devoted father to Hunter and Brooke. In addition, John was known to many, including myself, as a dedicated and faithful friend. Today, his family laid John to rest. Senator Wanggaard would like to adjourn in honor of Officer John Hetland and his family for their sacrifice and dedication to the community of Racine. We will always remember his courage and heroism. “Always on duty.”
Senator Wirch, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Officer Hetland. Bravery and courage are scarce commodities in our society. He show both of them in fighting for our people, and he paid for it with his life. May he rest in peace.
Senator Shilling, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Bob Lang and his team at the Fiscal Bureau for again putting forward the hard work that they do and the numerous briefings, the late nights, and the requests that we ask of them.
Senator Shilling, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of our Joint Finance members and their staff for the hard work they have put and the long hours.
