Senator Joanne G. Emmons of the 23rd District offered the following invocation:

Let us draw nigh and hear the promise of the Lord. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks the dark, nor the plague that destroys the midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the Lord, who is my refuge--then no harm will befall you. No disaster will come near your tent. "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him, protect him. He will call upon me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble, with long life, will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

We thank You, Lord, for this promise. May we be found faithful and obedient to Your will. In Your Son's name we pray. Amen.

Senators V. Smith, Cherry and Miller entered the Senate Chamber.

Senators Conroy and Peters asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Conroy's statement is as follows:

Senate Democrats have proposed a change to the budget that's been proposed by the administration and I'd like to go over some of the subjects that we're intending to work on in the next few weeks.

Last year we had a dramatic reduction in adult education and we've chosen to put that money back in--the $80 million that was taken out a year ago in order to continue the education as the President mentioned last week in his speech to the joint assembly. In addition to that, we intend to increase the at-risk funding for K-12 to add incentives for the small class size that we had discussion on last week. We think that is a way to reform the public school system in this state.

We have a proposal of $38.5 million to fund more local police officers with a local 20 percent match required. We think that we can increase by 1,000 new police officers in this state with this program.

Probably most current in terms of the problems that we have in this state are our roads. Senator Don Koivisto has worked on, as well as others, Glenn Steil and other members of this body, wrote improvements, particularly to the local roads in this state. They are just flat out a disaster. I've seen holes that I've never seen before and a lot more of them. I'm sure that all of the other members have gotten that kind of response from their constituency as well. We've got some money in here for road improvement.

We've got a $500 million state revenue bond proposal for school technology so as all children can have computers in their classrooms, so they can get to know this kind of equipment and can work on that as they get through their educational process. That is something that Gary Peters has worked on quite hard over the last few years. We think that this authorization would make a lot of sense to help the schools in this state computerize their classrooms and systems so they can interact, not only between schools, but between classrooms.

These are the main items in this proposal that we're having that we'll be working on over the next few weeks and we would urge that everybody look at this and see if they can find a way to be supportive. We think it makes good sense, good dollar sense, and we've found a way to pay for it that is also explained on the handout that we've sent out.

 

Senator Peters' statement is as follows:

I would just like to rise briefly to concur with some of the comments made by Senator Conroy and the Democratic caucus budget proposals. I am particularly interested in the fact that there is an authorization for additional state revenue bonds for school technology. That is one area in this state which has been neglected over the years. In fact a recent General Accounting Office report shows that Michigan ranks 44 out of 50 states in terms of computer technology in our classrooms. We also rank in the 40s when it comes to networks and to modems. This is crucial technology for our students. It is essential for their future as well as for the future of the state, if we are expected to remain competitive in the job market--in training our future workers to take those high tech jobs as well as having the ability to understand computer technology. It is also essential, as our schools attempt to improve, that we can radically reform the way in which education is delivered to our students. There are examples of where investments in technology have led to dramatic improvement in test scores. Particularly in central cities, where investments in the early grades, K-4, can bring about dramatic improvements in standardize test and overall learning. It is essential that the state steps up to its responsibility to invest in this technology and I am certainly very pleased that it is part of the proposal outlined by Senator Conroy.

Senate Resolution No. 30.

A resolution honoring The Ottawa Area Center for Special Needs Children upon the Center's Twenty-Fifth Anniversary.

Whereas, It is with great pride that we honor The Ottawa Area Center upon its twenty-fifth anniversary. This celebration recognizes the unique contribution the school has made to thousands of students, their parents, and the communities it has served for over a quarter century; and

Whereas, The Ottawa Area Center has worked closely with parents, medical professionals, local school district educators and other agencies to customize services for children. The Ottawa Area Center has served as a model for innovation in designing curriculum to meet the special academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs of mentally impaired young people; and

Whereas, The Ottawa Area Center has reached out into the community by serving as a learning base for prospective special education teachers. In addition, students are integrated into the fabric of the community through the Community Based Instruction programs, field trips, and on-site visits from many area school children; and

Whereas, The Ottawa Area Center staff has provided a safe, nurturing, positive environment for students; where all students reach their full potential and become, to the best of their ability, contributing members of the communities in which they live. We applaud this success and say "Thank you for a job well done"; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the twenty-fifth anniversary of The Ottawa Area Center serving the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District be highly commemorated; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to The Ottawa Area Center administration and staff as a reflection of our regard.

Senators Van Regenmorter and Posthumus were named co-sponsors of the resolution.

Smith, O'Brien and Posthumus offered the following concurrent resolution:

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 16.

A concurrent resolution to make an urgent request to the Congress of the United States to release to the states, including Michigan, all federal road funding due under the gas tax formula.

Whereas, The quality of Michigan roadways has a great deal to do with the state's competitiveness in attracting and retaining jobs for our citizens. Every individual and every business is Michigan is affected when Michigan roads suffer from insufficient maintenance. Finding the means to meet this financial challenge is of the utmost importance to both state and local policymakers as we prepare for the twenty-first century; and

Whereas, The difficult task of providing excellence in transportation in Michigan is made far worse by some of the current practices of the federal government with regard to the allocation of money raised by the federal gas tax; and

Whereas, The current practices of the federal government with regards to the allocation of dollars raised by the federal tax make it difficult for Michigan to improve and expand its transportation system. Of the states required to send money to the federal government, in accordance with the federal funding formula, Michigan sends significantly more money to Washington than it receives back. In 1993, for example, Michigan paid a total of $733.7 million to the Federal Highway Trust Fund, and only $520.1 million was returned; and

Whereas, In addition, even more money designated for return to Michigan, and several other states, is being withheld by federal transportation authorities. This money is critical to our transportation infrastructure and a vital component of the state's economic well-being.

Whereas, The current budget debate offers an opportunity to reexamine this critical aspect of public spending. This examination should include immediately correcting the gross inequities in allocating the funds generated by the federal gas tax; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we respectfully, but urgently, ask the Congress of the United States to release to the states, including Michigan, any federal road funding due under the gas tax formula but currently being held back by the federal government; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and to each member of the Michigan congressional delegation with the request that each member review this issue, offering a formal response to this body, the Michigan State Senate.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator DeGrow moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,

Senator DeGrow moved that the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

The motion prevailed.

 

 

Senators Van Regenmorter, Hoffman, DeGrow, Koivisto, Schwarz, North, Emmons, Gast, Geake, Stille, Dingell, A. Smith, Young, Conroy, Bullard, Bennett, Rogers, Steil, Schuette, Byrum, DeBeaussaert, Hart, Miller, McManus, Cisky, Dunaskiss, Carl, Bouchard, Shugars, Gougeon, Stallings, Vaughn, Cherry, V. Smith, O'Brien and Posthumus offered the following concurrent resolution:

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 17.

A concurrent resolution to request the Congress of the United States to return to Michigan all of the revenue from the federal gas tax collected in Michigan.

Whereas, An excellent highway network is vitally important to Michigan's economic well-being. All of the components of the state's economy are closely tied to the quality of the roadways used in transporting goods, services, and people throughout Michigan; and

Whereas, Michigan's ability to maintain our transportation infrastructure is seriously impaired by the current policies of the federal government with regard to the federal gas tax each individual and business pays with every gallon of gasoline purchased. This unfair system costs the state hundreds of millions of dollars each year. The result is an increasing problem with the conditions of our roads and bridges; and

Whereas, The largest element of the overall gas tax is the federal gas tax, which represents 18.4 cents of each dollar of gasoline sold. Of all of the states required to forward taxes to the federal government each year, Michigan ranks among the lowest in the ratio of gas tax revenues being returned to the citizens who paid the tax. In 1993, for example, $733.7 million was paid to the Federal Highway Trust Fund, and only $520.1 million was returned, a loss of $213.6 million, a loss that sets Michigan at a distinct disadvantage when making road improvements. Considering the inequitable manner in which this money is reallocated to the states of the union, it is clear that Michigan is bearing an oppressive burden through this taxation, a development of the tax structure that must be changed; and

Whereas, Adding to Michigan's tremendous burden, during the years 1990-1995, our state contributed $1.168 billion to federal deficit reduction, dollars that were initially collected to improve transportation routes in Michigan. This amount comprises approximately 20 percent of the total amount levied on Michigan citizens for the years 1990-1995. In addition, by 1999 Michigan's total contributions to deficit reduction are expected to total $2.099 billion, an amount that would certainly enable us to better maintain our roads and highways; and

Whereas, Clearly, Michigan is at a great disadvantage with states that receive far higher returns on their gas tax dollars marked for road improvements. In effect, we are subsidizing transportation maintenance and projects elsewhere when improvements are so desperately needed in our own state; and

Whereas, With the new approaches to budgetary matters in Washington and a renewed willingness to examine the true costs of all spending policies, the time is right to remedy this unjust situation; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we urgently and respectfully request the Congress of the United States to return to Michigan all of the revenue from the federal gas tax collected in Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and to each member of the Michigan congressional delegation with the request that each member review this issue and offer a formal response to this body, the Michigan State Senate.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,
