Pastor Bill Koster of Faith Reformed Church of Portage offered the following invocation:

I'd like to use the prayer of Moses, who relocated a million and a half people, and his prayer gives us perspective as we begin our day.

Lord, You have been our dwelling place throughout all generations before the mountains were born, for You brought forth the earth and the world from everlasting to everlasting. You are God.

For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day that has just gone by or like a watch in the night. You sweep men away in the sleep of death. They are like the new grass of the morning; though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered.

The length of our days is 70 years, or 80, if we have the strength. At their span is but trouble or sorrow, for they quickly pass and we fly away.

Teach us to number our days of right that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Let's pray together. Heavenly Father, we come recognizing again that life itself is a gift from You. Lord, what an incredible privilege we have for the day that You have given us today and the opportunity to serve You in this way. I pray that You would give us wisdom and You give us discernment, and I pray that You give us perspective as well in our work.

Lord, we recognize again that we are leaving a legacy for those who will come after us; Lord, that our time on earth is short and that what we do here will make a difference for those who come beyond us. Now, we just pray that You would again pour on us Your wisdom, pour on us Your grace and Your mercy. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

In The Chair: President

Senator Schuette offered to amend the title to read as follows:

A bill to amend 1996 PA 376, entitled "Michigan renaissance zone act," by amending sections 4, 6, 8, and 10 (MCL 125.2684, 125.2686, 125.2688, and 125.2690), section 10 as amended by 1999 PA 36.

The amendment to the title was adopted.

The Senate agreed to the title as amended.

Protest

Senator Jaye, under his constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of Senate Bill No. 625 and moved that the statement he made during the discussion of the amendment he offered be printed as his reasons for voting "no."

The motion prevailed.

Senator Jaye's statement is as follows:

This is one of a long string of corporate welfare legislation. However, what makes the renaissance zone designation unique among all the other alphabet soups of subsidies to rich corporations is that the renaissance zones also allow individuals who live in these areas to be totally exempt from state and local income taxes. And there is no income cap.

What my amendment says is that if you make more than $200,000 per year, you don't need a special tax break. Two hundred thousand dollars a year compared to our own salary that's almost four years we would have to work for $200,000. And what's worse is any revenue that's lost by the local city income tax has to be made up by all the other stiffs around the state of Michigan. The working men and women and all the other communities have to make up the revenue loss by that local city.

What my amendment does is it puts a little bit of a conscience into these rich people to shame them into the right thing, to say if you make over $200,000 a year, stop begging for a special tax break. Hire your own accountant, and earn the extra money. Two hundred thousand dollars a year plus Michigan's residency law is so loose that you just pretend to live in other places. Why, you can say, "Yes, I'm sharing an apartment with my friend," or "Yes, I know it looks a little dilapidated, I haven't seen the champagne dreams and caviar wishes studio, but that's my official residence."

We've had people who have run for political office literally out of a garage. In Sterling Heights, in my community, there is a guy who is found as a legal resident. He was living in a garage and used a porta-john--had a porta-john with a garage, and the judge said under Michigan's current residency laws, yes, that person can claim a garage as his residence.

So, what my amendment says is that it draws the line on subsidies to people who make $200,000 or less. You don't need any extra help if you've made over $200,000, so I hope that you will join me with saying that we're going to draw a line in the sand, and we're not going to have the working men and women subsidizing people who make over $200,000 by paying for that rich person to be exempt from the state and local income taxes.

Senator Schuette asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Schuette's statement is as follows:

We should reject this amendment. I want rich people going to Albion, Michigan. I want rich people moving to Highland Park. I want rich people moving to Idlewild Township, and I'm not going to draw some arbitrary line and say, no, you can't go to someplace to help jobs.

I think if you look at the landscape of urban areas in Michigan, often with a predominant minority population, even in the wake of an unparalleled growth in Michigan's economy, not every boat is rising in every metropolitan and urban area in our state. There are some areas even with this incredible supercharged, turbocharged economy where there still aren't enough jobs in certain areas of urban centers of Michigan. The renaissance zone really is a concept that has worked so well in the past, and we're trying to build on that in the second round of renaissance zone bills that will be moving through the Legislature today and tomorrow.

If you look at Detroit, Johnson Control, a $6,000,000 investment--250 jobs. We're trying to bring jobs where people live--in the heart of Michigan's largest city trying to stimulate growth and investment.

So, I don't want to put a cap on where rich people may want to move. I want them to move to Albion and parts of Saginaw and parts of Muskegon Heights, and let more boats rise in our state.

Defeat this amendment and pass this bill that creates additional renaissance zones and provides greater flexibility for local communities in designing where we want to have additional zones.

Statements

Senators McCotter, Miller, Jaye and Young asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator McCotter's statement is as follows:

I just did not want the occasion to pass without expressing that last week was the 10th anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre.

It's especially important to me because as a member of that generation, it was a seminal experience in the fact that the people of my generation in communist China were out in the streets fighting for freedom. The words on their lips were not from Mao; they were not from Marx; they were from Madison and Jefferson. So, I think we should commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre.

I also take comfort in the fact that the American Revolution is the seminal revolutionary in the history of the world in that it emancipated people from tyranny and led to freedom of the individual.

Senator Miller's statement is as follows:

Even though this weekend was a very beautiful, beautiful weekend, I want to enter for the statement that I had to spend my weekend unfortunately visiting funeral homes because I had two great, great friends and supporters who passed away this weekend. And, one, Mr. President, happened to be a young lady by the name of Lauren Pasque, who was only 11 years old, and she had her body, her life tragically stolen from her by a truck accident, at a busy intersection in my community.

You know, it kind of reminds me I preach to my children all the time to be careful because you never can turn back the clock on some tragic accident. Mr. President, this young lady was only 11 years old, and she lost her life due to this tragic accident, but I wanted to say I know she'll be sadly missed. The street corner where this accident happened has been decorated and has many, many memorials because it is near a school, and it sends a message now that when schools are getting out that children have to be more careful; they have to look. We have to even remind our drivers and I reminded my son, who's a driver, and my daughters to be careful because who knows when one of these untimely accidents can happen.

This young lady, Lauren Pasque, was not only a bright young student, but the pride of her family. She comes from a very large family. Her grandfather was a great fireman in my community, and Lauren's parents have been really, really great supporters and friends. In fact, this young lady appeared in a video for a campaign ad for myself, and it brought a lot of tears and a lot of heartache.

But also, Mr. President, after I had the sadness to go to this funeral, I had another dear, dear friend pass by the name of Leonard Torrice. Leonard was 78 years old. The reason I'm mentioning this is because these are two people, even though their ages were greatly different, they had a very, very strong impact on me. Mr. Torrice was a World War II veteran, he was a businessman, and he was very active in my community. In fact, he had the nickname, Mr. President, and we called him the "Mayor of Common Road" because he was always concerned about the children crossing by the school by his house and the city park behind him. He was very active, but he also, Mr. President, was a man who was--if we talk about in the Webster's definition of a true patriarch of a family--he was it. He was 78 years old, he grew up in the era of the Great Depression in this century, raised a family, and never had a formal education. But he stressed to his two children, a daughter by the name of Lynette and a son by the name of Peter, and stressed to both that they get an education, and both of them became college students. His son is a doctor, and he has five great children.

The reason I mention this is because not only was he a neighbor and a constituent of mine, but I want to just tell the body a little story when we talk about friends and what we remember. I was running in an election and I was talking to him, and he asked me how the campaign was coming. I said, "Well, my opponent has the support of this local barber shop, and the barber there is telling everybody, all his haircut customers, to vote for my opponent." So I mentioned this to Mr. Torrice, and lo and behold--he didn't have a lot of hair--but I'll tell you not to my knowledge, on a busy Saturday morning he walked into this barbershop and the place was packed. He sat down and not only tried to get a haircut--I don't know what he tried to get cut because he didn't have a lot of hair--but he caused such a scene there when the barber told him he was supporting my opponent. He said, "If you're not going to support Art Miller, I want to get out of this chair." He threw the thing down and caused such a commotion, and said, "Until you support Art Miller, I'm not coming back here." That's the kind of friend this man was. His family is going to miss him, and Mr. President, I truly am going to miss him.

Senator Jaye's statement is as follows:

I applaud the chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Corrections for several reforms. However, I voted against House Bill No. 4300, S-1, because there are several other reforms that were not included in the Corrections budget.

It's ludicrous to think that Michigan's hardworking taxpayers support, and still are paying for, five-star hotel-like accommodations in Michigan's prisons. I don't exaggerate. Where else can convicted criminals, guilty of heinous crimes, including rape and murder, receive such luxurious amenities such as free college educations, use of advanced computer technology and electronic law libraries, air-conditioned accommodations, indoor exercise facilities, athletic directors and theater classes? They even have sports teams with sports leagues outside of the prison. If this isn't enough, Michigan's prisoners receive the very best health care that money can buy, including hormone treatment for trans-gender prisoners.

Michigan's hardworking taxpayers are paying for these five-star hotel accommodations and perks for prisoners. Yet, I'll bet you didn't even know that prisoners don't even pay sales taxes when they purchase items at prison stores. That's right! When a prisoner is buying a pack of cigarettes or a candy bar or a Playboy magazine, they're not paying sales taxes on any purchases at the Corrections commissary. This is outrageous!

Michigan needs to get tough with prisoners and prohibit these expensive perks that most honest hardworking taxpayers cannot afford to provide for themselves and their families. Michigan needs to say "no" to comprehensive health care for prisoners to smoke and cost the taxpayers millions in treating their lung-related illnesses.

I remind you that prisons are vast state-owned facilities and operative facilities that allow smoking--prisons. At the very least, Michigan needs to require prisoners to pay taxes for the goods they purchase in prison stores to help pay for their room and board.

If Michigan is serious about preventing prison overcrowding, we need to reduce the recidivism rate by requiring chemical castration of repeat sex offenders as a condition of parole.

It's time that Michigan stop running its prison systems like five-star hotels and provide a more sensible, justified and economical prison system, including a mandatory 50-hour work week and community service while they are restrained, with appropriate and prudent security implements, including chain gangs as several other states have for these prisoners.

On the other issue, another reason why I voted against the renaissance zones, the tax-free renaissance zones, is because the companies in these areas are exempt from paying Michigan's single business tax that was the mega tax cut. But, in addition to being exempt from paying the Michigan single business tax, these companies are exempt from paying Michigan's personal income tax, Michigan's six-mill state education tax, exempt from paying local personal property tax, exempt from paying local real property tax, exempt from paying local income taxes, and exempt from paying the utility users tax. While these companies, including bars and micro-breweries and theaters, are exempt from paying taxes, your working men and women of your constituencies are not exempted from paying for them. And not only do the taxpayers of Michigan working men and women--have to pay these same taxes, they also have to reimburse, pay extra and pay double to reimburse the revenue lost by the local units of government, the schools, the cities, the counties and townships for the tax revenue that would have been created.

I'm also very disappointed that the Senate rejected my amendment to say that we will not allow for special tax breaks to the state income tax to billionaire sports owners and millionaire sports athletes or any other folks who make over $200,000 per year.

I believe that in the state of Michigan that if you make $200,000 per year, God bless you, but pull your own weight. Don't be coming to the rest of the state asking for them to subsidize your lifestyles of the rich and famous.

Senator Young's statement is as follows:

Today, I had both the pleasure and honor to be the commencement speaker at Hamilton Elementary at Finney High School in the city of Detroit.

For that reason, I was unable to make a number of votes, but had I been here, I would like the record to reflect on Senate Bill Nos. 381, 528, 556, 557, 558, 560, 567, 568, 569, 570, and 571 as well as House Bill Nos. 4300, 4669, 4473 and Senate Bill No. 625, I would have voted "yes."

By unanimous consent the Senate returned to the order of
