Protests
Senators Cherry and A. Smith, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of House Bill 4241.
Senator Cherry's statement, in which Senator A. Smith concurred, is as follows:
I voted "no" on House Bill No. 4241, not that I was opposed to the original purpose of this bill. In fact, it's part of this package in which we are attempting to deal with school violence, and I think that's a commendable purpose. I think the bill potentially fit into that, but ultimately, the bill was hijacked for another purpose, and that's to deal with some problems surrounding the organization of the Detroit schools under this new reform board in their efforts to select an interim CEO.
It strikes me that the problem the board got into was created by language we initially put in the act that allowed someone to exercise a veto. By golly, someone chose to exercise that option. So now we're back saying, "Well, we didn't mean that. You're not going to be able to exercise that veto," except we're leaving in this bill provisions for one board member and one board member only to have the ability to exercise a veto. Now that's just plain, straight-out power politics and sends a message to that community that you can do what you think is right in organizing your schools, unless the Governor of this state disagrees with you. Then you have to go back to the drawing board because his member of the board is the only one with a veto.
You know, it was that political attitude that caused this problem initially. Who would have thought the other member of the board would exercise that option? That was the kind of arrogance behind that initial language. What we've done, though, is we've kind of unmasked that arrogance and put it straight-out forward for everyone to see, and on that basis, I think we're not serving that reform board well. We're not serving the Detroit community well. We're better off allowing every board member an equal voice--not have someone who's more equal than the rest. They all ought to have an equal voice. That interim CEO ought to be chosen by a majority. On that basis, Mr. President, I could not vote for House Bill No. 4241 as it stands before us right now.
The following bill was read a third time:
Senate Bill No. 195, entitled
A bill to amend 1893 PA 206, entitled "The general property tax act," by amending section 39 (MCL 211.39).
The question being on the passage of the bill,
Senator Emmons offered the following amendment:
1. Amend page 2, following line 24, by inserting:
"Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect August 1, 1999.".
