We ask that You will give us the intelligence and brains to think clearly and to speak clearly on all matters that are before us today. We ask also that You will give us courage of our convictions and courage to do what is right. In Your sight, we recognize that there can be differences of opinion and we ask that You will give us grace to respect that. We also ask, Lord, that You will give us heart and compassion for those who are not as fortunate as we are, and to be able to understand and empathize with those who have different views of opinion. We ask Your blessing today. Thank You for the opportunity of life, and we ask that we can celebrate that every day. In Jesus' name. Amen."

Rep. Callahan, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
House Bill No. 4075 allows for 'loan funding' of charter schools, provides $10 million for new furniture for legislators (all Steelcase), and does not add enough money to increase the budget stabilization fund."
Rep. Basham, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I rise in opposition to House Bill 4075. There are many items in this bill that are worthwhile. However, there are several items that are of a low priority.
My state house district encompasses the cities of Taylor and Romulus. A major rail line passes through both cities. Consequently, I have many transportation issues which pertain to trains.
At Pennsylvania Road and Interstate 275 there is an immediate need for a grade separation. At any time, trains can shut down east-west traffic to a third of the city of Romulus. In such a situation, a fire truck could not answer an alarm at the local General Motors plant. Prior to final passage, $2 million for grade separation to address this situation was deleted from this bill.
Therefore, I cannot vote for a bill that contains pet projects and pork, but ignores an immediate health and safety issue in my district."
Rep. Gosselin, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
It's not our money!
A few weeks ago we learned the state has overcharged taxpayers more than $300 million this year, and expects to overcharge them $500 million next year. Now we're told the current year overcharge is actually $600 million. In the peculiar Orwellian phrasing typical of government this overcharge is called a 'surplus,' and rather than returning it to the gypped customer right away, as any ethical business would do, we immediately began looking for ways to spend it. And found them.
To be fair, we have decided to return some of the money through a cut in the rate of the Single Business Tax, and it is good we're moving in the right direction on that job-destroying tax. But the public reaction to the proposed 23-year phaseout of that tax was summed up by one Oakland citizen who said 'I'll be dead before that tax goes away.' With the money we're appropriating today we could cut the SBT by 20 percent next year, instead of four percent.
The members of the majority caucus in this House were not elected to grow government, but that's what we're doing. Economists estimate that inflation over the last few years has been one percent per year or less, and wholesale prices have actually declined. Yet with this legislation state spending will increase almost eight percent over last year!
Where is all this extra money coming from? In a study by the Senate Fiscal Agency comparing state expenditures and revenue by county for FY 1995-96, Oakland County was shown to pay some $617 million more to the state than it received back from the state. In that year, each Oakland County citizen subsidized the state $533, versus an average $1,260 per capita subsidy from the state to other counties.
The situation has gotten even worse. SFA has published a new report covering FY 1997. In one year from 1996 to 1997 Oakland went from being a $617 million donor to an $834 million donor. Given this trend, we can expect Oakland County will soon be a $1 billion donor to the rest of the state, if we have not achieved that status already.
Meanwhile, Oakland County is suffering a traffic congestion crisis due to inadequate state investment in transportation infrastructure, and this bill does absolutely nothing to address that problem.
This is wrong. It's not our money. We should give it back."
Rep. Gieleghem, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
While there are many worthwhile projects and much needed programs in this bill, there are also some line items that I have to question. This budget appropriates $10 million for equipment and furniture for the House of Representatives, staff, and support people, without a competitive bid process. It appropriates over $62 million for the Grand Rapids Convention Center.
But, furthermore, this bill appropriates over $5 million to assist Charter Schools in the event that a bill will pass the Legislature. It is my thought that it is irresponsible to appropriate money based upon a future passage of a potential law.
And, this bill will further deplete the Michigan budget surplus that should be returned to Michigan taxpayers.
For these reasons, I voted no on this bill."

Motions and Resolutions
Rep. Raczkowski offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 117.
A resolution to create the Select Committee on Limiting the Importation of Waste into Michigan.
Whereas, The citizens of this state are strongly committed to policies that protect our environment. A significant component of these policies is the issue of proper disposal of the waste we generate as a society. The finite capacity we have for the disposal of waste materials has prompted many individuals and some communities to seek a ban on the importing of waste materials from other states and Canada; and
Whereas, Efforts to halt the importation of waste for disposal in Michigan have been thwarted by federal policies and by conflicting interests. These questions must be addressed in a comprehensive fashion to safeguard our land and water. It is in our state's best long-term interest to examine the various aspects of this problem to find a solution to a challenge that has the potential to grow much more severe in the very near future; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That there be created the Select Committee on Limiting the Importation of Waste into Michigan. The membership of the select committee shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House in the same manner as standing committees of the House of Representatives are appointed. The select committee will function during the 1999 and 2000 Regular Sessions of the Legislature, the interim between the 1999 and 2000 Regular Sessions of the Legislature, and until December 31, 2000, and shall report its findings and recommendations to the House by December 31, 2000; and be it further
Resolved, That the committee may subpoena witnesses, administer oaths, and examine the books, records, and tapes of any person, partnership, association, or corporation, public or private, involved in a matter properly before the committee; may call upon the services and personnel of any agency of the state and its political subdivisions; and may engage assistance that it finds necessary; and be it further
Resolved, That the select committee is hereby authorized to expend a maximum amount of $1,000 in carrying out its duties and such additional expenditures deemed necessary by the chair of the committee and approved by the Speaker of the House. Payments for contractual services may be authorized by the committee chair and the Speaker of the House.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.
Rep. Raczkowski offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 118.
A resolution to create the Select Committee on the Training and Development of Twenty-first Century Teachers.
Whereas, As we prepare to cross the threshold into the next century and millennium, there are unique challenges to our state and its policymakers. An area that will demand as much attention as any is the quality of the men and women teaching our rising generations. While this is the continuation of a concern as old as our state, the problems, tools, and forces influencing this key profession are facing landmark changes; and
Whereas, Until the past few years, many aspects of our educational network in Michigan have operated largely as they have for generations. Computers, other communications technologies, new types of schools, and new demands resulting from the competition of a changing world are all forcing new looks at how we train teachers.

House Resolution No. 119.
A resolution to create the Select Committee on Strategies to Reduce Teen Pregnancies.
Whereas, The problems associated with teen pregnancies have exacted enormous social and financial costs on society. In addition to the difficulties faced by the individuals involved in each instance, children having children creates pressures in a host of public policy areas. The problems generated by teens ill prepared for the responsibilities of parenthood touch every state and region. This issue influences our schools, public health, and the economy directly and a host of public policy concerns indirectly; and
Whereas, In spite of the complexity of concerns surrounding teen pregnancy in America, there are approaches that seem to work, even in the most difficult settings. Clearly, the implications to society of teen pregnancy demand thorough consideration of all policy options; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That there be created the Select Committee on Strategies to Reduce Teen Pregnancies. The membership of the select committee shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House in the same manner as standing committees of the House of Representatives are appointed. The select committee will function during the 1999 and 2000 Regular Sessions of the Legislature, the interim between the 1999 and 2000 Regular Sessions of the Legislature, and until December 31, 2000, and shall report its findings and recommendations to the House by December 31, 2000; and be it further
Resolved, That the committee may subpoena witnesses, administer oaths, and examine the books, records, and tapes of any person, partnership, association, or corporation, public or private, involved in a matter properly before the committee; may call upon the services and personnel of any agency of the state and its political subdivisions; and may engage assistance that it finds necessary; and be it further
Resolved, That the select committee is hereby authorized to expend a maximum amount of $1,000 in carrying out its duties and such additional expenditures deemed necessary by the chair of the committee and approved by the Speaker of the House. Payments for contractual services may be authorized by the committee chair and the Speaker of the House.

Rep. Raczkowski offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 120.
A resolution to create the Select Committee on Restorative Justice.
Whereas, In spite of the best efforts of the law enforcement and justice network, our corrections system often fails to repair the true damage done by crime. Our costly emphasis on imprisonment does little to assist the victims of criminal acts, which includes the community at large. While Michigan has taken major strides and has been a leader in advancing restitution and rights of crime victims in the criminal justice process, much more needs to be addressed if we are to measure success in corrections as something more than time served; and
Whereas, In several areas of the country, the concept of restorative justice is being used to make criminals personally responsible for their actions. Restorative justice uses jail as a last resort and promotes reconciliation through an intense program of contact, follow-up, meetings with community representatives, and vigorous collection of funds for financial restitution. The key to these efforts is redefining a crime not as an offense against some amorphous law, but an injury to specific people whose sufferings will not disappear from the criminal's life. This concept deserves serious study; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That there be created the Select Committee on Restorative Justice. The membership of the select committee shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House in the same manner as standing committees of the House of Representatives are appointed. The select committee will function during the 1999 and 2000 Regular Sessions of the Legislature, the interim between the 1999 and 2000 Regular Sessions of the Legislature, and until December 31, 2000, and shall report its findings and recommendations to the House by December 31, 2000; and be it further
Resolved, That the committee may subpoena witnesses, administer oaths, and examine the books, records, and tapes of any person, partnership, association, or corporation, public or private, involved in a matter properly before the committee; may call upon the services and personnel of any agency of the state and its political subdivisions; and may engage assistance that it finds necessary; and be it further
Resolved, That the select committee is hereby authorized to expend a maximum amount of $1,000 in carrying out its duties and such additional expenditures deemed necessary by the chair of the committee and approved by the Speaker of the House. Payments for contractual services may be authorized by the committee chair and the Speaker of the House.

By unanimous consent the House considered House Concurrent Resolution No. 43 out of numerical order
Reps. Perricone and Raczkowski offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 43.
A concurrent resolution to create the Joint Legislative Select Committee on Wayne County Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
Whereas, The quality and reliability of air transportation services are fundamentally important to the economic strength of a region. With the increased impact of the global marketplace, any community or state hoping to compete effectively must offer air travelers efficiency, safety, cost-effectiveness, and responsiveness to adverse conditions and situations; and
Whereas, Air travel service is an increasingly vital component of the resources a community offers to individuals and businesses. This service must center on convenience for the consumer, innovation in seeking better ways to handle the movement of people and goods, and a genuine commitment to making the facility as easy and pleasant to visit as possible; and
Whereas, For many years, observers, especially veteran air travelers, have remarked on problems at Wayne County Detroit Metropolitan Airport. There have been many accounts of frustrating experiences of congestion, lack of fundamental services, and inadequate response to customers. Recently, a major winter snowstorm served to amplify the seriousness of the problems at the state's most important air transportation center. In this instance, there were well-publicized accounts of deplorable conditions and treatment of stranded travelers, far beyond acceptable standards even in the worst weather crisis; and
Whereas, If Michigan is to continue its growth, Detroit Metro must operate at the highest possible level of excellence and responsiveness; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That there be created the Joint Legislative Select Committee on Wayne County Detroit Metropolitan Airport. The House membership of the joint select committee shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House in the same manner as standing committees of the House of Representatives are appointed, and the Senate membership shall be appointed by the Senate Majority Leader in the same manner as standing committees of the Senate are appointed. The select committee will function during the 1999 and 2000 Regular Sessions of the Legislature, the interim between the 1999 and 2000 Regular Sessions of the Legislature, and until December 31, 2000, and shall report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by December 31, 2000; and be it further
Resolved, That the select committee may subpoena witnesses, administer oaths, and examine the books, records, and tapes of any person, partnership, association, or corporation, public or private, involved in a matter properly before the committee; may call upon the services and personnel of any agency of the state and its political subdivisions; and may engage assistance that it finds necessary; and be it further
Resolved, That the select committee is hereby authorized to expend a maximum amount of $10,000 in carrying out its duties and such additional expenditures deemed necessary by the chair of the committee and approved by the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader. Payments for contractual services may be authorized by the committee chair, the Speaker of the House, and the Senate Majority Leader.
