Rev. William Crowder, from the First Reformed Church of Three Oaks, offered the following invocation:

"Let us pray. Gracious Lord, You know what is in store for us this afternoon. Crucial issues await our attention. Unmade decisions demand our concentration. And we know that the choices we make will affect not only us, but also those around us, our state, our nation and even our world.

We thank You for the problems that make us dependent on You for guidance and strength. When we turned to You in the past, You gave us the leadership skills that we needed. Thank You, Lord, for taking us where we are, with all our human weaknesses, and using us for Your glory. May we always be distinguished by the immensity of our gratitude for the way You pour out Your wisdom and vision when we call out to You for help. We are profoundly grateful.

It's with that in mind that we say with the psalmist, 'Show us Your ways, O Lord, teach us Your paths. Lead us in Your truth and teach us, for You are the God of our salvation, on You we wait all the day.'--Psalm 25:4-5.

Thank You Father for the women and men of this House and for all who work with them to lead this state. May this afternoons session be productive, bringing resolution to conflicts, and completion to the business at hand.

We thank You, that we can face the rest of this day with the inner peace of knowing that You will answer this prayer for guidance. Through our Lord and Savior we ask. Amen."

Messages from the Governor

The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

Executive Office, Lansing, May 6, 1998

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol Building

Lansing, MI 48913

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled House Bill 5583.

The intent of Enrolled House Bill 5583 is to preempt local ordinances that place restrictions on the use of private airstrips or "landing areas." However, in its attempt to protect the rights of some owners of private landing areas, the bill places an unwelcome restriction on the rights of all such owners.

I refer specifically to the bill's requirement that access to private landing areas "shall not be denied, limited, or regulated ... on the basis of ... familial relationship." This language would appear to prevent the owner of a private landing area from restricting its use to members of his or her own family. This limitation on private property rights is unacceptable.

I also question the wisdom of attacking local ordinances concerning the use of private airstrips on the basis of state civil rights. I do not consider this a proper basis for extending our cherished civil rights protections, which should be rooted in efforts to remedy or prevent actual instances of discrimination.

For these reasons, I am returning Enrolled House Bill 5583 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding,

Messages from the Senate

House Concurrent Resolution No. 42.

A concurrent resolution to urge the United States Department of Agriculture to take strong steps to halt all discrimination against Black farmers and to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact recommended legislation.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 45 of 1997, p. 965.)

The Senate has substituted (S-1) the concurrent resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Concurrent Resolution No. 42.

A concurrent resolution to urge the United States Department of Agriculture to take strong steps to halt all discrimination against Black farmers, to settle pending claims, and to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to waive the statute of limitations for discrimination cases.

Whereas, In many situations, the difficulties facing family farming operations are numerous and challenging. The number of farms has declined steadily for many years, both in Michigan and throughout the entire country. For Black farmers across this nation, however, the obstacles to survival are staggering. Recent investigations through the Congressional Black Caucus and organizations like the National Black Farmers Association have revealed the extent of discrimination against African American farm operations. These civil rights violations were contained in recommendations of a task force within the United States Department of Agriculture; and

Whereas, Access to capital, a vital component of any farming operation, has been denied to many Black farmers. When not denied outright, through loans refused and ultimate foreclosures, loans for Black farmers often take far longer to be approved. The result of a delay for a farm loan is often financial ruin; and

Whereas, According to the National Black Farmers Association, the USDA foreclosed on 1,000 Black farms in the last several months. Black farmers are losing land at a rate of 9,000 acres a week. At this rate, according to the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Black farms will vanish by the year 2000; and

Whereas, The USDA, through its civil rights study group, has identified specific legislative changes to combat discrimination in its policies and programs. Any delay in implementing needed changes and in revamping the department's response to Black farmers is too long; and

Whereas, In April 1998, the Justice Department ruled that most of the approximately 2,000 cases brought by Black farmers with complaints of discrimination between 1983 and 1996 would expire due to the statute of limitations. It is essential that Congress take actions to enable the federal government to respond appropriately to the legitimate claims of these citizens; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the United States Department of Agriculture to take strong steps to halt all discrimination against Black farmers, to settle pending claims, and to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to waive the statute of limitations for the discrimination cases brought against the Department of Agriculture between 1983 and 1996; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the United States Department of Agriculture, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution as substituted and named Senators Hoffman, Young, Vaughn, V. Smith, A. Smith, Miller and Schwarz as co-sponsors.

The question being on concurring in the substitute (S-1) made to the concurrent resolution by the Senate,

The substitute (S-1) was concurred in, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Clerk for record.

Dobb, Hammerstrom, Godchaux, Dalman, Cassis, Crissman, Byl, Scranton, Birkholz, Gilmer, Jellema, Rocca, Rhead, DeVuyst, Brackenridge, Perricone, Sikkema, Voorhees, Richner, McNutt, LeTarte, Bodem, Middleton, Dobronski, LaForge, Schermesser, Prusi, Geiger, Cherry, DeHart, McBryde, Baird, Vaughn, Schroer, Martinez, Kelly, Palamara, Schauer, Jelinek, Llewellyn, Profit, Goschka, Anthony, London, Brater, Oxender, Tesanovich, Raczkowski and Jansen offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 288.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to increase funding of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to allow it to reduce its case backlog.

Whereas, Federal law presently makes illegal many forms of employment discrimination; and

Whereas, These forms of discrimination include illegally refusing to hire or equally compensate qualified individuals because of their race, sex, faith, or other important characteristics; and

Whereas, Such discrimination imposes an unfair and objectionable barrier to those working or seeking work; and

Whereas, The penalties for such discrimination often come as a result of investigations by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; and

Whereas, Backlogs in the handling of individual complaints by the commission delay investigations and eventual justice for victims of discrimination and discourages others from even raising complaints; and

Whereas, Appropriate funding for the commission is necessary to allow it to discharge its duties on behalf of the federal government and working women and men across our country; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to increase funding for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to allow it to reduce the backlog in complaints and to handle future complaints more expeditiously; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Labor and Occupational Safety.

House Resolution No. 289.

A resolution honoring Debra A. Maxey upon her retirement.

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that Debra A. Maxey has put forth on behalf of the members of Retirement Coordinating Council (RCC) that we offer this expression of our

thanks and best wishes upon her retirement from the RCC. As the members of the Retirement Coordinating Council recognize the loyalty and devotion of this conscientious individual, we add our sentiments of gratitude for a job well done; and

Whereas, In her many years of service to the Retirement Coordinating Council, Debra A. Maxey has been working in the public arena during an era of great challenge. As Debbie well knows, financial pressures and changing expectations have combined to make the recent past a challenging time to work on retirement issues. With the personal sense of duty that Debbie brings to work each day, she has been able to meet this challenge with enthusiasm and a genuine interest in efficiency. This has been deeply appreciated both by citizens and member organizations of the Retirement Coordinating Council that have benefited directly from Debbie's work as well as public officials who have witnessed this fine example first hand; and

Whereas, There can be little doubt that the record of Debra A. Maxey in her responsibilities with R.C.C. over the past 14 years will continue to reap rewards for the members of Retirement Coordinating Council. We offer our thanks on this personal milestone; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we salute Debra A. Maxey in acknowledgment of her 14 outstanding years of service; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Debra A. Maxey as evidence of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

House Resolution No. 290.

A resolution honoring Ms. Margaret Harlow for being named the Woman of Distinction of 1998 from the Girl Scouts of America.

Whereas, Ms. Margaret Harlow has been chosen to be named the Woman of Distinction of 1998 in honor of the 86th Anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America. This award recognizes her strong sense of commitment and leadership within her community; and

Whereas, Ms. Margaret Harlow's philosophy of business ethics, leadership and volunteerism parallels that of the Girl Scout movement. Her deep sense of community spirit has been recognized in the past by numerous affiliations. Ms. Harlow has received the Westland Business Person of the Year Award in 1997, the Westland First Citizen Award in 1991, the YMCA Volunteer Achievement Award in 1997 and the Westland Athena Award in 1997; and

Whereas, Ms. Harlow's involvement and leadership in community organizations is admirable. She has been a member, and served in a leadership capacity of the Westland Business Professional Women Organization, the Westland Rotary Club, and the Westland Downtown Development Authority; and

Whereas, Ms. Harlow is an active, dedicated member of the City of Westland's Advisory Council for the Youth Assistance Project, the Salvation Army's Advisory Board, the Oakwood Hospital Foundation, the Wayne-Westland Schools Foundation, the Wayne-Westland School Improvement Team and the Westland Mayor's Task Force for Substance and Alcohol Abuse. She is also involved in the Westland Youth Hockey Team, having sponsored a player from Petersburg, Russia; and

Whereas, Ms. Harlow's generosity and commitment to her community has enriched Westland and the State of Michigan. She is an excellent role model for the young women in the Girl Scouts of America organization. Ms. Margaret Harlow unquestionably deserves to be named the Woman of Distinction of 1998 by the Huron Valley Girl Scout Council on this 13th day of May, 1998; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this legislative body congratulate Ms. Margaret Harlow and encourage her to continue her pursuit of excellence in all that she does; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be presented to Ms. Margaret Harlow as a symbol of our esteem.

House Resolution No. 291.

A resolution to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Wyandotte Kiwanis 1000 Club.

Whereas, It is with great appreciation for all the contributions its members have made to the community, that the Michigan House of Representatives is pleased to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Wyandotte Kiwanis 1000 Club. As members of Kiwanis gather to mark this special occasion, it is most appropriate that we celebrate the impact that these dedicated individuals have had upon hundreds of people in the downriver area; and

Whereas, The members of Wyandotte Kiwanis 1000 Club should feel a rewarding sense of satisfaction from their many contributions and accomplishments. They have donated considerable time, energy, and financial resources for numerous projects, and their generous efforts have truly made a difference in the community. They have continued to uphold the highest ideal of service to the community, particularly when children are involved. This has been exemplified by their sponsorship of various Boy Scout, Cub Scout, Girl Scout, and Brownie troops. They have also actively supported the handicapped, the needy, the senior citizens, the High School Key Club, the Salvation Army, the Downriver Child Guidance Clinic, and many other areas of community concern. It is estimated that the Wyandotte Kiwanis 1000 Club has raised and dispersed over one million dollars in support of its many service programs; and

Whereas, The Michigan House of Representatives welcomes the opportunity to salute these stalwart citizens for the many ways in which they have given of their time and energies to those in need. Today, the faces and names may be different from the members who came together seventy-five years ago to share their dreams and unite in their efforts to impact on the community in a positive way, yet their purpose is just as noble and their contributions just as valuable; and

Whereas, The strength of any organization relies on the commitment and loyalty of its members and leaders. Kiwanis International President Walter G. Sellars and First Lady Irene will be honored guests of the Wyandotte Kiwanis 1000 Club as they celebrate their seventy-fifth birthday on May 23, 1998. These individuals, along with numerous local Kiwanis leaders and members, have demonstrated their highest allegiance to this organization. While the members certainly appreciate the fun and festivities, they are concerned citizens who enjoy working together, and we most certainly admire their diligent efforts on behalf of others; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this dedicated body, commemorate the seventy-fifth Anniversary of the Wyandotte Kiwanis 1000 Club. May the Kiwanis members, both present and past, know of our appreciation and gratitude for their contributions to improve their community and of our best wishes for a long and prosperous future; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Wyandotte Kiwanis 1000 Club as evidence of the highest esteem that is held, for this organization, by the people of the great State of Michigan.

House Resolution No. 292.

A resolution to recognize the 125th Anniversary of the first graduating class of Lawton Union Schools in 1873.

Whereas, It is a special privilege to commemorate the 125th Anniversary of the Lawton Union Schools; and

Whereas, The first schoolhouse in the Village of Lawton was constructed in 1855 on the northwest corner of Third Street and Franklin Street. The first schoolhouse burned down in 1867 and the Lawton Union Schoolhouse was constructed in 1867 on Nursery Street between Second and Third Streets; and

Whereas, The name Union was thought to have come from the uniting of students from several rural schools in Antwerp and Porter Townships with those in the Village of Lawton; and

Whereas, In 1873, Lawton Union Schools graduated its first class under Superintendent of Schools E.M. Joslin. Three individuals, Emma Harwick, Katie Harwick and Frank Robbins received diplomas as distinguished members of the first graduating class; and

Whereas, This milestone offers us an opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous efforts of teachers, parents, administrators, students and other supporters of this exemplary educational institution, both past and present; and

Whereas, The process of educating children is an awesome task. For over 125 years, Lawton Union Schools has opened its doors to young people who have, in turn, opened their minds to gain knowledge and increase their understanding of the world around them; now, therefore be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this legislative body commemorate the 125th Anniversary of the first graduating class of Lawton Union Schools in 1873. May we congratulate the faculty, staff, students, and the entire community on this milestone.

Rep. Callahan offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 293.

A resolution to express opposition to the diversion of Lake Superior water by an Ontario company and to urge the International Joint Commission to take actions to stop it.

Whereas, The Ontario Ministry of the Environment recently issued a permit to a Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, company seeking to export water from Lake Superior to Asia. The permit would allow the company to take and sell up to approximately 156 million gallons of water per year; and

Whereas, Environmentalists on both sides of the border have expressed strong opposition to the planned diversion of water from an area northwest of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The precedent of permitting this diversion could be very damaging to the Great Lakes. If similar actions follow as a result, this relative trickle could turn into a torrent; and

Whereas, The International Joint Commission was established to address issues related to the shared lakes and rivers of Canada and the United States under the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909. It is appropriate for Michigan to register its grave concern over this diversion and to seek the commission's efforts to halt this proposal; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express opposition to the diversion of Lake Superior water by an Ontario company and to urge the International Joint Commission to take actions to stop it; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the International Joint Commission.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Conservation, Environment and Recreation.

Rep. Callahan offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 294.

A resolution to object to the recent actions of the Governor approving a diversion of water from the Great Lakes.

Whereas, The Governor has given his approval to a request by Akron, Ohio, to divert water from Lake Erie to accommodate development of the city's suburban areas. Under the proposal, the Ohio community will soon begin piping water from Lake Erie to an area outside the Great Lakes basin. Akron plans on replacing the water by channeling water from outside the basin to Lake Erie through existing waterways; and

Whereas, Under the 1986 federal Water Resources Development Act, a governor of any of the Great Lakes states can veto any diversion. Michigan has exercised this authority in the past. This approval for Akron marks the first known approval of any diversion proposal. In strong contrast, Michigan has vigorously opposed most water diversion efforts since the city of Chicago first took this action at the Chicago River in the 1890s; and

Whereas, Michigan's citizens have strong feelings for the integrity and quality of the Great Lakes. In spite of this, the consideration and approval of the Akron request took place without a public notice and comment period; and

Whereas, Approving the Akron diversion sets a dangerous precedent. That the water is being used to contribute to suburban sprawl, rather than some health emergency or other reason, is especially troubling to many. There is no way to predict future needs for water in this region or anywhere in the country, and the Ohio actions may weaken Michigan's position with regard to future requests. With the potential impact of diversion on water levels, quality, and wetlands, it is not in Michigan's best interest to approve any transport of water outside the Great Lakes basin; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we object to the recent actions of the Governor approving a diversion of water from the Great Lakes; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Conservation, Environment and Recreation.

Rep. Callahan offered the following concurrent resolution:
