Senator Jim Berryman of the 17th District offered the following invocation:
Sometimes I have the feeling we forget where we have come from and I came across a quote from C. Eric Lincoln that says, "You will work for them but not with them. Your heart will bleed for them, but not your head or your hands. You will be their advocate but not their friend. You will sponsor them and their causes, but their cause is not your cause anymore because you are middle class." May we remember where we come from. Amen.

Senator McManus' statement is as follows:
I would like to announce that this week, up in Gaylord, Michigan, we're holding the Alpenfest, which kicked off today with a noon luncheon. This is the 37th annual Alpenfest. You're all invited up there on Saturday. In fact, you can go up as soon as we get done here. It's a week-long festival celebrating Gaylord's sister city of Pontresina in Switzerland. You're not all required to wear this particular outfit. They would like to have you do that if you would. The festival and the parade will be on Saturday. It's a great event. The country up there is beautiful this time of year with lots of green grass and sunshine and golf courses and there's lots of activities, combined of course on Saturday, with lots of bands.
My outfit here--I've had one of these since about the second year I was Senator in that area when I was told I had to have a set of lederhosen in order to represent them as a Senator. They weren't sure how many cows they'd have to kill in order to get the leather. Anyway, they did. Unfortunately, last week when we had the house fire at our place on the Fourth of July, the outfit burned and along with my wife's dirndls that she also has to wear for the event. So, we called Gaylord up there and they were able to get this imported from Germany and over here within a week so we could have it up there today. I came straight from the luncheon to session figuring that you would have all of the conferencing done and be immediately ready for the vote here at 4:15, but I understand we've got a few minutes to wait yet before the whole conference issue gets solved.
My purpose here--and I don't know whether I can get this printed in the Journal or not in the particular part of the session, but if I can I would ask that--I told the Gaylord folk that I would be coming down here and telling you about the festival and inviting you all up there. I just want you to know that you are all invited and we hope to see you there on Saturday. If you are, wave when I go by.

Senator DeGrow moved that the bill be given immediate effect.
The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.
Pursuant to Joint Rule 20, the full title of the bill shall read as follows:
"An act to meet deficiencies in state funds by providing for the imposition, levy, computation, collection, assessment, and enforcement by lien and otherwise of taxes on or measured by net income; to prescribe the manner and time of making reports and paying the taxes, and the functions of public officers and others as to the taxes; to permit the inspection of the records of taxpayers; to provide for interest and penalties on unpaid taxes; to provide exemptions, credits and refunds of the taxes; to prescribe penalties for the violation of this act; to provide an appropriation; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts,".

Senator Van Regenmorter asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Van Regenmorter's statement is as follows:
The two bills upon which we just voted are tax relief bills and I supported them for that reason, as did, I think, all of my colleagues here. I think we should understand that these two bills are narrow niche tax cuts. They do not affect the majority of Michigan citizens. They pale in comparison, I believe, to the package that the Senate sent over to the House last week, which had a broadly based significant tax cut for all Michigan citizens who purchase gas at the pump, because of the sales tax cut. This, at least, is a reduction in taxes and deserves our support because it is that. I think we have a strong obligation to remember all Michigan citizens, not just those with small children, and not just those who happen to be in a situation where they have children who are going to be attending college within a narrow time frame. It is important that we get away from niche tax cuts and to broadly based tax cuts, as the Senate did when it passed over that reduction in the sales tax last week.
By unanimous consent the Senate proceeded to the order of
Resolutions

Severe rainstorms occurring the period of June 20-21, 1997, resulted in widespread flooding to the area and necessitated the coordination of efforts by the Emergency Management Division of the Department of State Police; and
Whereas, Section 3 of 1976 PA 390, the Emergency Management Act, being MCL § 30.403, provides, in part:
The state of disaster shall continue until the governor finds that the threat or danger has passed, the disaster has been dealt with to the extent that the disaster conditions no longer exist, or until the declared state of disaster has been in effect for 14 days. After 14 days, the governor shall issue an executive order or proclamation declaring the state of disaster terminated, unless a request by the governor for an extension of the state of disaster for a specific number of days is approved by the legislature.

Whereas, Pursuant to a request by the governor of the state of Michigan, 30 days need to be added to the proclaimed state of disaster in Allegan and Ottawa Counties; now, therefore, be it

The state of disaster shall continue until the governor finds that the threat or danger has passed, the disaster has been dealt with to the extent that the disaster conditions no longer exist, or until the declared state of disaster has been in effect for 14 days.

; and
Whereas, Pursuant to a request by the governor of the state of Michigan, 70 days need to be added to the proclaimed state of disaster in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland, and Genesee Counties; the city of Detroit; and the village of Chesaning; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That pursuant to the Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, we approve the governor's request for an extension of the state of disaster in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland, and Genesee Counties; the city of Detroit; and the village of Chesaning by 70 days; and be it further
