The House agreed to the title of the bill.
______
Reps. Bobier, Middleton, London, DeVuyst and Jansen, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
A lot of good work was put into this bill. The subcommittee was cooperative and productive. In particular, revenue sharing was well constructed. However, the bill took a very wrong turn in the last week. First, amendments were offered that expanded programs with no supporting testimony. In particular, money for the qualified voter file was not justified. We added more money into the cloistered legislative budget for a health care advisor which was inappropriate given all of the current resources available. Finally, the lack of local input on the community policing program is particularly worrisome."
Rep. Kaza, 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:
Republicans lost control of the state House last year because they failed to deliver for the grass-roots, and ignored the Independent bloc.
The corporate welfare (Jobs Commission) budget reflects the conflict with the Republican grass-roots.
But the general government budget illustrates the refusal to acknowledge the Independent bloc.
The failure to deliver the freedom agenda sought by the grass-roots on issues like the Second Amendment cost Republicans two state House seats in the 1996 general election.
But the failure of establishment Republicans to deliver the reform agenda sought by the Independent bloc cost Republicans an even greater number of seats last year.
Independent voters are the largest, and fastest-growing, electoral bloc in metro Detroit. Yet their reform agenda has been ignored and opposed by the same corporate welfare interests whose loss of vision cost Republicans control of the state House last year.
What is the reform agenda of the Independents? It is predicated on the notion of Real Change, which empowers the people against the obscene perks and privileges of the political class in Lansing and Washington:
* Support for term limits against the political class that is attempting to overturn the constitutional amendment approved by the people of Michigan in 1992.
* Support for popular votes on pay raises against the career politicians who seek to retain for themselves the power to vote for their own pay raises.
* Opposition to pension double-dipping by career politicians who shamelessly collect two, three and even four tax-free political pensions while their constituents must pay federal taxes on their private pensions.
* Support for full disclosure of lobbyist activities so that the people have complete and accurate information about the activities of special interests who seek to influence public policy.
* Support for None Of The Above (NOTA) and other measures designed to reduce the negative campaigning that is encouraged by the political class.
* Support for an expanded Freedom of Information Act so that the people have more information about the activities of their government.
* Support for an expanded Open Meetings Act so that the secret back-room deals cut by politicians in closed party caucuses are exposed to the news media and public.
Middle-class families and their standard of living are under attack by economic forces beyond their control. Yet the political class ignores their plight while at the same time increasing their perks and privileges.
The general government budget before us illustrates the refusal to acknowledge the Independent bloc and their issues and concerns.
If Republicans hope to regain control of the state House they must acknowledge the Independent bloc's existence, and begin appealing to them with a Real Change agenda."
Rep. Hammerstrom, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
While I supported many elements of the General Government Budget, I voted against SB 170 because of four specific issues: 1) $1 million for Kent County Regional library, 2) $500,000 to implement motor voter provisions that were not requested by the Secretary of State, 3) provision for a Legislative Health Advisor when there are already numerous mechanisms in place to provide the necessary information and 4) failure to enact an amendment to allow for local control in allocating funding for additional policing."
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 voted against Senate Bill 170 because it is laden with government pork! The hardworking taxpayers of the state of Michigan deserve accountability, but this bill does not provide it.
This bill does not require working spouses of state employees to use the health care of their own employers first, and to use the state health care plan as a supplement. Many private employers have shifted their health care costs to the taxpayers of this state by offering their employees up to $3,000 to drop the private employer plan, and to opt to freeload off of the state instead. No accountability!
Michigan's state employee health care plan is the most expensive and generous of all fifty states, even more than that of the federal government! I supported the Jaye Amendment which would have earmarked the approximately $36 million in savings from requiring spousal use of private health insurance first to be used for uninsured children, but this body snubbed its collective nose at Michigan's children. Again, no accountability!
This bill also provides a first-time $500,000 appropriation for a "Health Care Ombudsman" on the Legislative Council! This bill again ignores Michigan's children, but provides amply for legislators! Again, no accountability!
Mr. Speaker and members, SB 170 does a lot for government bureaucrats and politicians, but nothing for the hardworking taxpayers of this state. For the people of Saginaw County and all of Michigan, I vote "No" on SB 170."
Rep. Jaye, 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:
This bill gives families with two state employees a $1,100 a year bonus if one state employee drops their health care even though that state employee still receives full health care benefits.
This bill does not require working spouses of state employees to use the health care of their employers first and use the state health care plan as a supplement. Many private employers shift their health care costs to the taxpayers by offering their employees $1,000 to $3,000 to drop the private employer plan and freeload off of the state health plan. Michigan's state employee health care plan is the most expensive and generous of all fifty states, even more generous than the federal government. My amendment to earmark the approximately $36 million in savings from coordination of employee benefits for health care for uninsured children failed. It costs $8,000 a year per state employee for health care--and the premium is totally paid by the taxpayers. The 10% surcharge on state employees who use tobacco products failed. This budget is full of government pork and waste, including $500,000 in a new layer of legislative political bureaucracy. My amendment prohibiting local politicians and bureaucrats who draw the tax exempt Renaissance Zones from receiving jobs or campaign contributions from individuals and businesses who locate in Renaissance Zones failed. These businesses don't pay business taxes and individuals don't pay income and property taxes."
Rep. Kukuk, 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 oppose this legislation because it does not prohibit the state treasury department from investing taxpayer dollars in corporations which promote dangerous and immoral behavior.
During House debate on this bill, I offered an amendment which would have required the state treasury to divest its holdings in the Walt Disney Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Disney Corporation is producing a large amount of 'entertainment' recently which I believe is offensive to my constituents and other citizens of our state. Unfortunately, my amendment was not adopted.
Because the state treasury will continue to support the Walt Disney Corporation with taxpayer dollars, I am compelled to oppose this bill."
Rep. Raczkowski, 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:
This bill provides appropriations to General Government for opperations during fiscal year 97-98. Even though this appropriations bill increases revenue sharing as well as community policing, it is irresponibly $36 million above any average projected increase. We need to cut our tax burden, as well as fix our roads instead of spending monies we do not currently have. Responsible government requires responsible spending, & this bill is an example of irresponsible spending that will only 'fatten up government' on the backs of our state's hard working families!"
Rep. Birkholz, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on SB 170 as presented because the expenditures proposed far exceeded the revenues."
Rep. McBryde, 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 no on SB 170 because it contained a number of "pork barrel" projects that were adopted through the committee process and various floor amendments. What is particularly onerous is that an amendment by Rep. Gilmer, that would have distributed the library monies fairly accross the state, was defeated. With the defeat of the Gilmer amendment, the lion's share of library monies will go to Detroit and Grand Rapids. This is just one example of pork, but there are many other examples of pork throughout the budget."
Rep. Gagliardi moved that the bill be given immediate effect.

Rep. Gustafson demanded the yeas and nays.
The demand was supported.

Rep. Voorhees, 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:
It is my concern that community policing must remain a local control issue. Under HB 4526 we restrict local governments from full options under the Federal Program."
Reps. Gilmer, Bobier, Jansen and Johnson, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Philosophically, community policing is a fine idea. Placing law officers directly into the community and interacting with the residence daily in a less confrontational basis has proven to be successful.
Politically, this idea is even more attractive because the public is very concerned about crime. Concepts that appear to do something about crime provide some relief to voters and are extremely difficult to argue against.
But, economically, community policing makes little sense. We would be sending taxpayer money to Washington D.C. or Lansing only to have conditions imposed while the amount of funds available for actual services reduced by administrative costs. This is an inefficient way to fund something that is primarily a social responsibility.
The cost of this program to the state General Fund will be nearly $17 million dollars the first year, rising to nearly $34 million the second year and in excess of $54 million the third year. In the fourth and final years local governments will need to expend in excess of $120 million to comply with this law. For these reasons we voted no."

House Resolution No. 95.
A resolution offered as a memorial honoring the life and work of Joseph Peter Dobush, Detroit Radio's "Average Joe," a regular movie critic on WJR's Ken Calvert Show.
Whereas, Joseph Peter Dobush grew up in Warren, Michigan, and graduated from Warren Mott High School in 1969. It was at Warren Mott High School where he was honored with the John Philip Sousa award for young musicians, and today, his son Peter follows his lead as a young clarinet player. After high school, Joe Dobush worked an average of over fifty hours a week in maintenance for Detroit's Fisher Building garage for eighteen years. He worked tirelessly as a single parent to support his young son, Peter; and
Whereas, Ken Calvert discovered Joe Dobush at the garage in the building that housed WJR, and thus began the career of "Average Joe," the movie critic. Detroit Radio listeners enjoyed Joe's commentary, and Joe and his son Peter enjoyed the special time they spent together reviewing movies for Ken Calvert's listeners; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Joseph Peter Dobush, and although Joe Dobush seemed to fit the mold of an "Average Joe" to his listeners, his friends and family will remember him as an "Exceptional Joe"; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be presented to Peter Dobush, Joe's son, in memory of his father and in appreciation for the movie reviews that the House of Representative's members and their constituents enjoyed.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Gagliardi moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Cherry offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 96.
A resolution honoring Helen C. Philpott, past President of the United Way of Michigan.
Whereas, It is with genuine pleasure that the Michigan House of Representatives joins in honoring Ms. Helen C. Philpott, a past president of the United Way of Michigan. Ms. Philpott has a long history of public service and it is individuals like her that provide us with role models for community involvement; and
Whereas, Ms. Philpott has been an active member of the United Way of Michigan since 1980 and has served on their Board of Directors as chairman, as well as on the Resource Development, Membership Agreement, and Public Affairs Committees. However, Ms. Philpott's commitment to her community does not end with her work with the United Way. She has also lent her skills to the Flint Public Trust as a board member, the Big Sisters of Flint and Genesee County as President, the Michigan Heart Association as a volunteer nurse, and the Michigan Nonprofit Association as both President and Vice President. It is her commitment to her community and the State of Michigan that causes the Michigan House of Representatives to honor her today; and
Whereas, The United Way of Michigan is now celebrating its 50th Anniversary and is a state membership association of local United Ways. Through contributions from its members, United Way of Michigan supports twenty-one state and national health and human services agencies, providing vital services to local communities throughout Michigan; and
Whereas, The United Way of Michigan was organized in 1947 as the first statewide United Way organization. Throughout its years of service to Michigan, it has continued to serve as the most comprehensive statewide organization in the United Way system. As the statewide association of local United Ways, the United Way of Michigan has remained unique among its peers in the diversity of services offered to local United Ways, as well as services provided by its funded agencies. United Way of Michigan is only one of two state organizations that allocates to statewide and national agencies which provide individual and system services to Michigan citizens. The United Way of Michigan is also unique as it is one of the few state associations with a labor liaison staff; and
Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives is proud to be a part of the United Way system and we would like to take this time to honor one of its presidents, Ms. Helen C. Philpott, for her continued dedication; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we look forward to another 50 years of service from the United Way of Michigan organization and thank Ms. Helen C. Philpott for her participation in this extremely worthwhile organization; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to her as evidence of our esteem.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Gagliardi moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

House Resolution No. 97.
A resolution honoring Charles E. Anderson, past President of the United Way of Michigan.
Whereas, It is with genuine pleasure that the Michigan House of Representatives joins in honoring Mr. Charles E. Anderson, a past president of the United Way of Michigan. Mr. Anderson has a long history of public service and it is individuals like him that provide us with role models for community involvement; and
Whereas, Mr. Anderson has been an active member of the United Way of Michigan since 1980. In his work with this organization, he has served on the Board of Directors, as a member of the Budget and Finance Committee, as well as Public Affairs and Campaign/Field Service Committees. However, this is not the only community involvement to which Mr. Anderson has dedicated his time. Mr. Anderson has also served as a member of the Study Committee for the National Urban League, as a board member for the Michigan Cancer Foundation, as a fund raiser for Junior Achievement of Southeastern Michigan, and on the Study Committee for the Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan. It is this type of commitment to his community and the State of Michigan that causes the Michigan House of Representatives to honor him today; and
Whereas, The United Way of Michigan is now celebrating its 50th Anniversary and is a state membership association of local United Ways. Through contributions from its members, United Way of Michigan supports twenty-one state and national health and human services agencies, providing vital services to local communities throughout Michigan; and

Whereas, It is with genuine pleasure that the Michigan House of Representatives joins in honoring Mr. Stephen A. Lison, a past president of the United Way of Michigan. Mr. Lison has a long history of public service and it is individuals like him that provide us with role models for community involvement; and
Whereas, Mr. Lison has been an active member of the United Way of Michigan since 1985 and has worked with their Allocations Committee and provided assistance with their Strategic Planning Committee where he has shown his commitment to the United Way organization and his community. However, Mr. Lison's involvement does not end with his work with the United Way. He has also served as Chair and Vice Chair of the Alliance for Health in Grand Rapids, as well as served as Chair of the Urban League of Muskegon County. Mr. Lison is also committed to the West Shore Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Spring Lake Planning Commission. Mr. Lison's well-rounded efforts in his community are honored here today by the Michigan House of Representatives; and
Whereas, The United Way of Michigan is now celebrating its 50th Anniversary and is a state membership association of local United Ways. Through contributions from its members, United Way of Michigan supports twenty-one state and national health and human services agencies, providing vital services to local communities throughout Michigan; and
Whereas, The United Way of Michigan was organized in 1947 as the first statewide United Way organization. Throughout its years of service to Michigan, it has continued to serve as the most comprehensive statewide organization in the United Way system. As the statewide association of local United Ways, the United Way of Michigan has remained unique among its peers in the diversity of services offered to local United Ways, as well as services provided by its funded agencies. United Way of Michigan is only one of two state organizations that allocates to statewide and national agencies which provide individual and system services to Michigan citizens. The United Way of Michigan is also unique as it is one of the few state associations with a labor liaison staff; and
Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives is proud to be a part of the United Way system and we would like to take this time to honor one of its presidents, Mr. Stephen A. Lison, for his continued dedication; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we look forward to another 50 years of service from the United Way of Michigan organization and thank Mr. Stephen A. Lison for his participation in this extremely worthwhile organization; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to him as evidence of our esteem.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 47.
A concurrent resolution to urge the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Senate Majority Leader to donate used legislative computer equipment to schools.
Whereas, The Michigan Legislature is in the midst of a substantial upgrade of its computer systems. In order to provide information more readily to citizens and to bring the efficiencies of new technology to the legislative branch of government, a great deal of equipment will be replaced. The move away from inefficient systems to networks that will reduce duplication and increase access to information will bring many benefits to our state; and
Whereas, While the system being replaced in legislative offices and agencies is not compatible with new network needs, this equipment is certainly more than adequate for many other uses and applications; and
Whereas, There are many schools throughout Michigan with little access to computers for students. Although progress is being made in incorporating this tool in the classroom, many students and teachers are still waiting in line for equipment; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Senate Majority Leader to donate used legislative computer equipment to schools.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Advanced Technology and Computer Development.
