"O God, It is our privilege to be here today. We thank You for these people who have come to do Your work and to do the work here within the state of Michigan in representing the people. We thank You for what they give to the citizens of this state. We thank You for those who have given the gift of life in a time of great tragedy in their own lives so that people such as myself might have a second chance at living. We ask that You would give wisdom to the Representatives today as they go about the business of this House. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen."

Rep. Wetters, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
It would seem that the members of the House now want to dictate what universities can teach, a clear violation of the spirit of our constitution and an assault on academic freedom. This is made more ironic by the fact that Michigan's legislators can't even agree on when they go on vacation. God help us if they start dictating what rational men and woman can teach!
I wish I didn't have to vote on such drivel but if I must vote, I must vote "no.""
Rep. Gilmer moved that the bill be placed on the order of Third Reading of Bills.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members voting therefor.
Rep. Gagliardi moved that the bill be placed on its immediate passage.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

House Bill No. 4309, entitled
A bill to make appropriations for the state institutions of higher education and certain state purposes related to education for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998; to make appropriations for state building authority rent and insurance; to provide for the expenditures of those appropriations; and to prescribe the powers and duties of certain state departments, institutions, agencies, and officers.

The question being on agreeing to the title of the bill,
Rep. Gagliardi moved to amend the title to read as follows:
A bill to make appropriations for the state institutions of higher education and certain state purposes related to education for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998; to provide for the expenditures of those appropriations; and to prescribe the powers and duties of certain state departments, institutions, agencies, employees, and officers.
The motion prevailed.
The House agreed to the title as amended.
Rep. London, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against this budget bill because it is approximately 43 million over budget. This House has also passed in excess of 200 million in tax cuts with no way to pay for them. We must start holding the line on deficit spending."
Rep. Goschka, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I cannot in good conscience vote for House Bill 4309 when it omits the very reasonable and much needed floor funding amendment of $4500 per student. Clearly, certain public universities have been declared as winners in this bill, but the majority of our schools have been declared as losers as well.
Not only would Saginaw Valley State University gain from increasing the floor funding, but so also would Central Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, Lake Superior State University, Oakland University, the University of Michigan-Dearborn and the University of Michigan-Flint. All of the hardworking taxpayers of this state deserve proper funding for their local public university, and this bill is woefully inadequate in accomplishing this goal.
Mr. Speaker and members of this House, I cannot vote for this bill because it promotes a funding disparity that is unjust. Who are we to take hard earned taxpayer dollars from Saginaw county and other areas of the state, and giving them to a select few? Shame!!!!"
Rep. Gagliardi moved that the bill be given immediate effect.
The question being on the motion by Rep. Gagliardi,
Rep. Gustafson demanded the yeas and nays.
The demand was supported.

Reps. Jelinek, Raczkowski and Cassis, having reserved the right to explain their nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted against the Higher Education budget because of its inflationary increases of approximately 5% over current year levels.
House bi-partisan support for the Cassis amendment to hold the line on tuition increases is positive but we need to go further to ensure that higher education will not be beyond the reach of middle class people.
As the budget process continues and further restraints are put on this higher education budget, I will be able to support it."
Rep. Kaza, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
A majority of constituents in Troy and Rochester Hills have asked me to support repeal or modification of the state's existing affirmative action policies. This legislation does not fully address their concerns about the unfairness and reverse discrimination inherent in the affirmative action policies at our state's institutions of higher education."
