Rep. Reeves, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no because of the tie barred portion of the bill which micro manages the Detroit School Reform Board. I view this as a continued assault on local control."

 

Rep. Martinez, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I am voting against this bill because it forces school districts to expel violating students with no requirement for disciplinary education.

The bill also creates new educational entities called 'strict discipline public school academies.' This statute sets the precedent of creating the state's first selective enrollment public schools.

This bill endangers our communities by releasing potentially violent youth from education and onto the streets. Our local school boards should be able to establish their own discipline policies and procedures."

 

Rep. Cherry, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I am explaining my no vote because I originally voted for this bill and I continue to support the main content of this bill. However, the Senate placed an amendment on this bill to give the Governor veto power on actions taken by the Detroit School Reform Board. The Board should be able to operate by a simple majority, just like any other local board. This bill is 'power politics' at its worst and should not be passed into law."

 

Rep. Clark, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I Rep. Irma Clark voted No on H.B. 4241 because it was tie barred to Detroit Reform Board legislation. I support the School Violence Legislation but was totally insulted by neglecting the local control issue of the school bill and the

micro-managing of the school district."

 

Rep. Jacobs, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I feel that the Legislature has again been pulled into the micromanagement of the Detroit School Board. We can't set a precedent of changing laws to solve the internal problems of a board, one that was created and agreed upon the majority of this body. I am also concerned that the Governor, by way of this legislation would have veto control of the board. I am also concerned that SDPSA would not be mandated, therefore allowing expelled students to roam free on our streets if their parents did not take the initiative to enroll them in school."

 

Rep. Callahan, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

HB 4241 (S-3) as returned from the Senate gave all authority to the Governor with veto power over the board. That is unacceptable."

 

Rep. Vaughn, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Well folks, here we go again! I'm voting No on this trick of a bill because the clause that changes the--I believe--illegal takeover of the Detroit Public Schools is a classic case of changing the game in the middle of the stream. The one person on the reform board, yes the 1 community person on the reform board is opposed to the selection of the Mayor and the Governor. In order to subvert the law--simply change it!

They need this bill by the time the DE(Reform) board meets at 5 p.m. today. The bill has already been printed and enrolled and it hasn't even passed the House. It will though and that's why I'm voting NO.

I'm voting NO because I believe in the principals so many of you give lip service to.

I believe in Freedom, Justice, Equality, Liberty, Fraternity, and local control of our public school system.

The section of this bill that relates to the Detroit Public Schools is flat out wrong. You're changing a law you passed yourself because the results you expected did not materialize. All you're doing is causing more unrest in Michigan's largest city.

The next colleague that claim he or she believe in basic liberty and local control should start asking for forgiveness for lying.

I agree with Benjamin Franklin when he said, 'Those who give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety (and I may add convenience) deserve neither liberty or safety.'

Remember what goes around come around. Today you're eager to take away the rights of Detroit citizens. Tomorrow someone will do the same thing to you.

The chickens always come home to roosT!

Thank you Mr. Speaker."

 

Rep. Dennis, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

HB 4241 was suppose to be about addressing the issue of public school violence and providing alternative education opportunities for violent students. Instead, it does not require an alternative setting for these students and quite honestly will release these students into our communities. Secondly, this legislation turned into a micromanagement bill for the Detroit Public Schools, giving the Governor absolute authority of veto power for decisions made by the board. Obviously, the legislature, here, is subverting its original intent to give the restructuring power of the school to the Mayor of Detroit."

 

Rep. Switalski, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

On 2-17-99 I voted for this bill because it provides for safer schools for our children. Today the bill returned to this House from the Senate with an amendment tacked on which changes the rules by which the Detroit Reform Board chooses its Superintendent from a unanimous vote to a 2/3 vote, and also extends veto power to the Governor's representative.

The Legislature abolished the popularly elected Detroit School Board because it didn't like the way it ran the schools. It created a Reform Board to replace it. Now because it does not like the way it is going about choosing its Superintendent, it is changing the rules again. Instead of a consensus Board, the dissenters will be overridden and the Governor's representative will have a veto. Under current law the Mayor or Governor could already have purged their respective appointees.

I opposed the original School Reform Board Bill because it violated voter's rights to govern themselves. These amendments today poisoned a good bill and took this legislature further down the road of ruining locally elected governing institutions."

 

Rep. Schauer, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted 'no' on the revised Senate version of House Bill No. 4241, not that I was opposed to the original purpose of this bill. In fact, it's part of a package of legislation to deal with school violence, and I think that's a commendable purpose. This Senate substitute, however, was crafted to further meddle with Detroit Public School's board of education and its ability to select its superintendent of schools. My objection is twofold: one, a two-thirds supermajority is required to select a superintendent, and two, if this supermajority does not include the affirmative vote of the Governor's appointee--the state superintendent of public instruction--the vote of the school board shall be deemed invalid.

Local school boards should be allowed to make local decisions, without extraordinary requirements and without the veto of any one of its members--especially when that person is a non-local appointee of the Governor. To legislate otherwise is bad public policy, sets a dangerous precedent, and undermines local control."

House Resolution No. 96.

A resolution honoring the Bordine Nursery upon the occasion of their 60th anniversary.

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation of the significance of this milestone that we commend the management and staff of Bordine Nursery as they mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of this exemplary business. We are proud to recognize the important role that this enterprise has played in contributing to both the economic well-being of the area and the lives of countless citizens; and

Whereas, Since its founding in Rochester Hills, Bordine Nursery has become a vital element in helping Michigan grow and adapt to needs in commerce and all aspects of life in the community. Their success in maintaining competitiveness during an era of many challenges is the direct result of the commitment of the people of this company, and their ability to work together to offer the best in products and services over the years. Even as our cyclical Michigan economy has presented obstacles to growth and stability, Bordine Nursery has sustained itself through dedication and innovation; and

Whereas, In looking back over 60 years of Bordine Nursery's history, it is clear that this business has set its course with a continuing look to the future. While the changes of the marketplace dictate many of the decisions for any good company, Bordine Nursery has also demonstrated the importance of looking beyond the balance sheet alone to include the ideas of its people, and the role of the company in community life, in making choices. We are grateful for all that the Bordine family and the Bordine Nursery has contributed to Rochester Hills and all of Michigan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That this resolution be dedicated to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Bordine Nursery. We salute them on this happy occasion and wish them well in the years to come; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Bordine Nursery as a token of our esteem.

House Resolution No. 97.

A resolution honoring Samuel L. Davis on his retirement.

Whereas, With his retirement from his responsibilities as Executive Director for the Michigan Association for Children with Emotional Disorders (MACED), Samuel L. Davis is bringing to a close an outstanding career of almost forty years of advocacy and leadership on behalf of children and their families. His family, friends, and colleagues will gather to honor him on Thursday, May 20, 1999; and

Whereas, Sam Davis came to MACED in 1960, and over the years has helped thousands of Michigan children and their families receive vital assistance in accessing appropriate mental health and special education services. Sam Davis doggedly pursued every case. He offered real help to desperate families who felt they had run out of options. He helped change lives. Under Sam Davis' leadership, MACED was on the front lines of the legislative battles of the day. He helped to create school special education programs and specialized treatment centers for youth, and more recently, helped lead the fight to preserve funding for a continuum of care for children with emotional disorders; and

Whereas, Sam Davis has been appointed to many posts on the county and state levels, and proven to be such a strong advocate on behalf of children, that he has earned the respect and admiration of his peers and countless parents and other citizens across Michigan; and

Whereas, Sam Davis will continue his work with MACED by volunteering his time for clinical support, and he plans to spend more time with his wife, Oakland County Probate Judge Sandra Silver Davis, his daughter Erica, and his grandchildren; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Samuel L. Davis as he retires as Executive Director of the Michigan Association for Children with Emotional Disorders. May he know of our admiration and warmest wishes; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Samuel L. Davis as evidence of our esteem.
