Rev. Stan Kessler, Pastor of Three Rivers Bible Church in Three Rivers, offered the following invocation:

 

"Heavenly Father, maker of heaven and earth, we thank You that You have given us this day to live and this day to accomplish Your purposes. Thank You for the many manifold blessings that You give to us--life, health, and families. I thank You most of all for giving us Your son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who would die on the cross for our sins. Thank You for this country with all of its freedoms that You have given to us. Thank You for the heritage of faith that we have preserved for the future. Lord, You know that we have been hard hit in these past months with terrorism attacks and yet I thank You that it has caused us to draw closer to You, to draw closer to one another and to become true patriots again. I thank You for each of those who are serving us today--for the representatives, for their staff, I pray for each of them. Lord, may You bless and strengthen their marriages, their families, bless them in their daily walk and draw them close to You. Today, we come to do the business of running this state. I pray that You would help us to put first things first. Help us to humble ourselves before You, to seek Your wisdom and ask Your blessing and help. You have said in Your word that righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to a people and that God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up. We do this today--we acknowledge that we need You. I pray that You would bless each leader who is here today, that You would draw them close to Yourself and that You would help us to do Your will. We ask that You would give to each one who has the part ears to hear, a heart to understand, a patient spirit. Bring unity so that they would be guided by Your spirit. Give them then the strength to do Your will. I ask, Lord, that when the session has ended we will be able to look back and we will have sensed that You have been present throughout and that it has been a productive, well-spent time and that we have accomplished what You wanted us to do. We love You, Lord, and we ask Your blessing on this session. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."

EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2002 - 4

 

MICHIGAN COMMISSION ON ASIA IN THE SCHOOLS

 

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, ARTS AND LIBRARIES

 

WHEREAS, Americans meet both opportunities and challenges in a global community that is increasingly interconnected; and

WHEREAS, Michigan residents and their children, who must compete and thrive in such an interconnected world, will find it crucial to learn about the peoples, the cultures and the economies in Asia, the most rapidly changing region of the world; and

WHEREAS, According to the Asia Society report Asia in the Schools: Preparing Young Americans for Today's Interconnected World, most Americans learn very little about Asia in our schools; and

WHEREAS, Defense Department research indicates that the United States is failing to graduate enough students with expertise in foreign language, foreign cultures and the policy concerns of foreign nations--especially Asian countries--to meet the demands of business, government and our universities; and

WHEREAS, While many teachers, administrators and policymakers responsible for elementary and secondary education recognize the need to educate our students about world affairs and other cultures, many schools lack the know-how and support necessary to provide such instruction; and

WHEREAS, Michigan's exports to Asia exceed $3.2 billion.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, John Engler, Governor of the state of Michigan, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Constitution of the state of Michigan of 1963 and the laws of the state of Michigan, do hereby order the following:

John Engler

Governor

By the Governor:

Candice S. Miller

Secretary of State

The message was referred to the Clerk.

The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

 

Executive Office, Lansing, March 15, 2002

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol Building

Lansing, Michigan 48913

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I have vetoed and am returning to you herewith, Enrolled House Bill 4022.

Enrolled House Bill 4022 would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to include township governments in the process for deciding speed limits for county roads. I have always been a supporter of sound traffic engineering science. I am concerned that, under this legislation, objective facts will be ignored in the face of emotional appeals to alter speed limits.

Current statute requires the county road commission and the Department of State Police to jointly determine upon the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation the speed limits on county roadways. This study consists of site visits, speed and traffic volume studies, traffic accident data analysis, and input from local officials. This process produces a consistent, statewide standard.

The process of setting speed limits is often an emotional issue. Traffic accidents that receive intense media coverage frequently spur requests for changes in speed limits, regardless of the actual cause of those accidents. Traffic volume and accident data are two critical factors in determining a realistic speed limit. Emotionally charged decisions regarding changes in speed limits most often result in speed limits set unreasonably low. This tends to undermine legitimate speed limits and enforcement of traffic safety laws.

Furthermore, the current statute allows townships input in the speed limit review process. MCL 257.628(2) allows townships to petition the county road commission to approve proposed changes in speed limits. This language was recently added at the request of townships in PA 167 of 2000. I believe that this new provision should be given more time to address the concerns of Enrolled House Bill 4022.

Lastly, the current process results in adjustments to speed limits by a unanimous agreement of the county road commission and the Michigan State Police. This bill could result in decisions made not on objective fact but by two of the parties in agreement with the third dissenting.

For the above stated reasons, I am returning Enrolled House Bill 4022 without signature.

Sincerely,

John Engler

Governor

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I object to cutting the Nursing Home Quality Incentive Grant Program from the CIS budget.The Quality Incentive Grant Program was a program that has successfully worked for years to improve the Quality of care for our Nursing Home residents in our Great State of Michigan. This program gave incentives to our nursing homes to provide quality care. These grants went directly to improve resident care and comfort. Programs such as the Eden program will likely die for lake of funding.Thank you Mr Speaker."

Reps. Lipsey, Hale, Hardman, Reeves, Waters, Clark, Daniels and Garza, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted 'no' on SB 1107 because it removes funding for critical educational programs such as the Reading Program, Parental Involvement Grants, Summer School, Counseling Services, and Vocational Education Technical Centers. These programs typically target the neediest children and the impact of these cuts will be felt strongly by these children.

In addition, this budget removes the $15 million in funding for the Detroit Public School system, which was promised for each year that the appointed Detroit School Reform Board is in place. This is not just funding for Detroit but a way to save funding in the future for the rest of the state. We know that investments in early childhood education result in great savings. By investing in Detroit's schools and in addressing school readiness and reading programs at early ages, the state would save greatly in the future. Unfortunately, that funding was eliminated.

Further, when this budget was originally enacted two years ago, General Fund/General Purpose dollars were removed with the promise that the funds would be restored in FY 2003. This budget breaks that promise, and includes intent language that the funding be restored in FY 2004. If the leadership did not keep their promise this year, how do we know that they will pay attention to intent language next year?

Finally, if education is a priority in this state, then the funding for the critical programs listed above should be found in other budgets and shifted to keep these important programs moving forward."

 

Rep. Minore, 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 am casting a token NO vote on this bill in spite of the fact that it does much for Michigan schools and Michigan students . . . 'his year'. It is, however, a kind of shell game. We are playing with next year's dollars in order to make this election year budget look pretty good. The shoe will fall, however, next year. We are speeding up collection of taxes from next year in order to get through this election year. We are using several questionable sources of money in order to fill the needs this year--without addressing systemic problems. And, finally, we are ignoring some of the greatest needs of the students and schools systems while 'getting by' for this election year. We haven't addressed school infrastructure needs, special education funding, early childhood programs, and many other crying needs this year. We have insisted on keeping our promise of tax cuts, while edging out of our promise of full funding for education needs--especially for those students most in need. It's a good bill on the surface: but it is severely flawed below that glossy and--to some extent--false surface.My NO vote is, I realize, a token protest. In these days of term limits, this bill represents one of the greatest faults of the Legislature: do what you can today--while ignoring the long term needs and interests of the citizens of the state."

 

Rep. Bogardus, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I oppose this budget because it is a series of broken promises. Early childhood programs are imperative for children at who face incredible barriers to learning. Such programs actually save the state money. A child who succeeds in school is much more likely to succeed in life and not end up in prison but this bill eliminates programs which would help them achieve their potential. It is unfortunate that this legislature and governor do not value every child equally. Some schools have over $5000.00 more per year to spend on each child than what is spent on a child in other districts. The programs eliminated were a small step toward lowering that inequity. This budget also relies on bookkeeping tricks which will leave subsequent administrations in a fiscal mess."

Reps. Basham, Reeves, Clarke, Hale, Hardman, Bogardus, Callahan, Dennis, Adamini, Clark, Spade, Zelenko, Anderson, Phillips, Lemmons and Murphy, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on the Senate Substitute to HB 5674 because of the piecemeal approach to the legislative process that was used to pass this bill through both Houses.

When this bill was first passed out of the House it affected two judges in one county. Language was added on the Senate floor that increased the scope of the bill significantly. Now, citizens in over a dozen Northern Michigan counties as well as the judges and courts in those counties will be affected. No public hearings or comment were ever held on these changes. Not one judge, nor the Supreme Court, the State Court Administrators Office or judges association has been given the opportunity to provide the legislature with input. Certainly, no citizens were allowed to voice their opinion of these changes either.

The bill is an attack on local control. By denying those affected by the legislation an opportunity to provide input, the bill is nothing more than the state, acting as big brother, once again telling local areas of the state what to do and how to do it.

It is for these reasons that I voted no on HB 5674 (S-1)."

 

Rep. Stamas, 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 am voting against House Bill 5674 because it will have a direct negative impact on the court structure for many communities in Northern Michigan. It will, in effect, allow judges that have not been elected by citizens of many counties, including Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency and Iosco Counties to convene both Circuit and District Courts in those areas. These changes in court boundaries will have a drastic negative fiscal impact on basic court operations for those services currently provided by the justice system in these areas. For these reasons I am voting against and voicing my strong opposition to House Bill 5674."

 

 

Second Reading of Bills

House Resolution No. 370.

A resolution recognizing May 12th as International Fibromyalgia Awareness Day.

Whereas, Fibromyalgia is a chronic and debilitating pain condition that affects men, women, and children of all ages and ethnic backgrounds worldwide. The number of people who suffer from this disease is now estimated at 10 million in the United States alone; and

Whereas A patient with Fibromyalgia lives with a variety of symptoms. These symptoms include unrelenting fatigue, an inability to achieve restful restorative sleep, severe pain that often doesn't respond to traditional treatments, and problems with cognitive functioning, memory and concentration that limit the ability to think clearly. Other symptoms include irritable bowels, headaches and migraines, and neurological symptoms such as dizziness, vision problems, numbness, noise sensitivity, and impaired coordination; and

Whereas, Currently the cause of Fibromyalgia is still unknown and there is no cure. Existing treatments are limited and severe symptoms can interfere with even basic daily activities. The toll that this illness takes on families, as well as the national economy, is enormous; and

Whereas, Many doctors are inadequately educated about this mysterious and complex disease and it takes an average of five years for a person to get a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. If a cause and cure are to be found, more vigorous attention from government and medical communities is essential. The Social Security Administration must also recognize this illness and the level of debilitation that often results; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize May 12th as International Fibromyalgia Awareness Day; and further be it

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution is sent to the Michigan Congressional Delegation.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Patterson moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

House Resolution No. 371.

A resolution honoring the Michigan Association of Business Professionals of America for 30 years of outstanding service to secondary and post-secondary students throughout the state.

 

We are met in a spirit of friendship and goodwill as we prepare for productive lives in business and office careers. We work together to develop professionalism and leadership through Business Professionals of America and pledge our loyalty to our nation.

 

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation of the significance of this milestone that we commend the Michigan Association of Business Professionals of America as they mark their 30th anniversary. We are proud to recognize the important role that this secondary and post-secondary student organization has played in contributing to the youth of Michigan; and

Whereas, Since 1972, the Michigan Association of Business Professionals of America has grown to include more than 130 chapters, throughout the eight regions in Michigan, comprised of more than 4,700 members. Their mission is to empower the Michigan Association of Business Professionals of America students to succeed in a world-class workforce through the development of leadership, academic, and technological skills; and

Whereas, In looking back over the 30 years of the Michigan Association of Business Professionals of America's history, it is clear that this organization has set its course with a continuing look to the future, while the changes in business technology education continue to evolve. We are grateful for all that the Michigan Association of Business Professionals of American has contributed to the students throughout the state of Michigan; and

Whereas, In addition to competitions, which take place on the regional, state, and national levels, members are involved in numerous leadership and community service projects on the local and state level. Each year, many members participate in the Torch Awards Program, a program that promotes leadership skills, community service, and civic awareness. The Michigan Association of Business Professionals of America has adopted the American Red Cross as its state service organization and the Special Olympics as its national service organization; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the Michigan Association of Business Professionals of America for 30 years of outstanding service to secondary and post-secondary students throughout the state.

House Resolution No. 372.

A resolution honoring Bernard Kilpatrick upon the occasion of his retirement.

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that Bernard Kilpatrick has put forth on behalf of the people of Detroit and Wayne County that we offer this expression of our thanks and best wishes in retirement. As the people of Detroit and Wayne County recognize the loyalty and devotion to public service of this conscientious individual, we add our sentiments of gratitude for a job well done; and

Whereas, In his years of service to the people of Detroit and Wayne County, Bernard Kilpatrick has been working in the public arena during an era of great change. As Bernard Kilpatrick well knows, financial pressures and changing expectations have combined to make the recent past a challenging time to work in local government. With the personal sense of duty that Bernard Kilpatrick brings to work each day, he has been able to meet this challenge with enthusiasm and a genuine interest in efficiency in public service. This has been deeply appreciated, both by the citizens and organizations in Detroit that have benefited directly from Bernard Kilpatrick's work, as well as other public servants who have witnessed this fine example; and

Whereas, Bernard Kilpatrick has been married for sixteen years to Bettye Johnson Kilpatrick. He is the proud father of Kwame, Ayanna, Diarra, and Ajene. Two sets of twin grandsons, Jalil and Jelani, and Ade and Amir give their granddad constant delight, as does the newest member of the Kilpatrick family, Jonas Isaiah, who made his entrance into the world in December of 2001. One of the most memorable days of Bernard Kilpatrick's life occurred in November of 2001, when his son, Kwame, was resoundingly elected as the 60th Mayor of the city of Detroit; and

Whereas, There can be little doubt that his years of service to this community and his commitment to Detroit and Wayne County have guaranteed him a place in the hearts of the citizens of his city and county. Benard Kilpatrick will be long remembered for his creative and unique style of building bridges, effecting positive legislative changes, exemplifying true commitment, and his dedication to Detroit and Wayne County. We offer our thanks on this personal milestone; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Bernard Kilpatrick upon the occasion of his retirement. May he enjoy the happiest of retirements; and be it further

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

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Patterson moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

House Resolution No. 373.

A resolution honoring William Leon Johnson upon the occasion of his 90th birthday.

Whereas, It is a genuine pleasure to extend special greetings to William Leon Johnson upon the occasion of his 90th birthday. We are grateful for this opportunity to join with the family and many friends of William Leon Johnson as we honor an individual who truly understands the beauty of life in its challenges and triumphs; and

Whereas, Born on February 14, 1912, William Leon Johnson grew up in a world quite different in many ways from the one we know today. In the span of his lifetime, tremendous cultural, sociological, and technological changes have transpired in Michigan and elsewhere. William Leon Johnson has lived and tasted of life throughout this period and it has given him insight, experience, and wisdom few of us can fully appreciate; and

Whereas, Long ago, Charles Dickens made an observation on aging that often seems applicable to people like William Leon Johnson, who have contributed a great deal to life around them. Charles Dickens said, "Father Time is not always a hard parent, and, though he tarries for none of his children, he often lays his hand lightly on those who have used him well." Surely, William Leon Johnson breathes great meaning into this thought; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor William Leon Johnson upon the occasion of his 90th birthday. May the health and happiness his years so richly merit be with him always; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to William Leon Johnson as a token of our esteem.

Rep. Patterson moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
