Impact

The resolution does not have a direct impact on state laws but serves as an official commendation that acknowledges the importance of individuals in governmental roles. Recognition like this can inspire other staff members within the legislature and potentially influence future hiring and training practices in Senate offices. By highlighting the service and dedication of individuals such as Tara Korstad, the resolution advocates for appreciation for public service within the governmental framework.

Summary

Senate Resolution No. 415 recognizes Tara Korstad for her ten years of dedicated service to Senator Florence Shapiro. Tara, who currently serves as the director of operations in Senator Shapiro’s Capitol office, began her tenure as an administrative assistant and receptionist for the Senate Committee on State Affairs, shortly after Senator Shapiro assumed the role of chair. Her growth within the office highlights her significant contributions over the years, as she took on various roles including assistant clerk for several important committees, ultimately becoming the clerk for the education committee during the 79th Legislature. This resolution serves to honor those who contribute remarkably to public service, demonstrating the Senate's appreciation for Tara's hard work and commitment.

Contention

While resolutions such as SR415 typically do not invoke contention, one could argue within broader discussions about legislative staff roles and their recognition in political structures. Some may feel that there is an underappreciation of the behind-the-scenes staff, which are crucial for the functioning of legislative operations. Thus, such resolutions can help shine a light on the significance of administrative roles and serve as a reminder to value all contributions made by individuals in the public service sector.
