Father Dwight Ezop, Pastor of Catholic Community of St. Jude in DeWitt, offered the following invocation:

 

"Lord Our God, You are the maker of all things, human and divine. All times and seasons obey Your laws, yet You have created us to be the stewards of Your creation, caring for the world and its peoples in all their wonder. We come before You this day as Your servants. Our time of service to others may seem without end. We pray You help us to accept all that is involved in this office for which Your servants have been chosen. Allow us to offer You devoted service as we seek to meet the needs of the brothers and sisters we have in You. Keep our hearts open to the mystery of Your presence in our lives in the midst of the service we offer on behalf of others. Unlock to us, we pray, the secret of how in such service we may always give honor, praise and glory to You. As Your servants, we bow before You and the mystery of Your holy will. We pray You bless our efforts, this day and each day. We make this prayer through the mystery of Your godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen."

______

 

 

Rep. Drolet, 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 sympathize with the good intentions of this bill. Few of us enjoy the uninvited intrusion of telemarketing calls, and I would go as far as to suggest that persons employing these practices often lose the respect of customers that they hope to serve. However, behaving rudely and disrespectfully should not be against the law. Cluttering up our criminal and civil codes with prohibitions and regulations dictating what can be spoken over phone lines is a disproportionate and undemocratic response to this problem.

Politicians and most charitable organizations would be exempt from these new restrictions, despite the fact that they make up a significant portion of the unwanted phone solicitations. I fail to see how the legislature distinguishes between the unwanted calls of a politician, and those of a business. All citizens go shopping, but only a bare majority will ever show up at the polls - even under ideal circumstances. If the unwanted discussion of commercial transactions in a private home is to become a crime, then consistency would dictate that the unsolicited advocacy of politics should become a capital offense. The selfish hypocrisy of these distinctions underscores the bad precedent that we are setting with this legislation."

Reps. Williams, Wojno, Anderson, Whitmer, Hansen, Murphy, Hale, Callahan, Lemmons, Kolb and Clark, 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 passage of HB 4626 because it would divert waste reduction funds currently intended specifically for pollution prevention programs to the routine administration of the hazardous waste management program within the Department of Environmental Quality. The logic of the original legislation earmarking the use of waste reduction fees for efforts to reduce the amount of waste created in the state continues to hold. There is no shortage of opportunities for the State to assist businesses and communities to implement pollution prevention strategies a s called for in existing law."

 

Rep. Dennis, 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 voted no on HB 4626 because it would raid pollution prevention funds in order to administer the routine hazardous waste management program within the Department of Environmental Quality. The logic of the original legislation earmarking the use of waste reduction fees for efforts to reduce the amount of waste created in the state continues to hold. There is no shortage of opportunities for the State to assist businesses and communities to implement pollution prevention strategies as called for in existing law. Therefore, I voted no!"

 

Rep. Lipsey, 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 voted 'no' on the passage of HB4626 because it would divert waste funds currently intended specifically for pollution prevention programs to the routine administration of the hazardous waste management program within the Department of Environmental Quality. The logic of the original legislation earmarking the use of waste reduction fees for efforts to reduce the amount of waste created in the state continues to be valid. There is no shortage of opportunities for the State to assist businesses and communities to implement pollution prevention strategies as called for in the existing law."

House Resolution No. 153.

A resolution honoring the memory of Louis Anthony Maceroni, 1938-2000.

Whereas, It is with deep admiration that we honor the memory of Louis Anthony Maceroni. With his passing on November 20, 2000, the people of Macomb county and people throughout all of Michigan have lost a wonderful and dedicated public servant; and

Whereas, Lou Maceroni was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather who devoted a great deal of time and effort to the people he loved. He also belonged to the St. Augustine Catholic Church in Richmond and Moose Lodge #105; and

Whereas, Lou Maceroni earned his bachelor of arts and bachelor of psychology degrees from the University of Albion, his master of psychology from the University of Windsor, and his doctorate from the University of Detroit and the University of Windsor; and

Whereas, He used this education and dedicated more than 28 years to the Macomb County Youth Home in an effort to help shape the lives of the youth in Macomb county. He took part in many new initiatives such as "Positive Peer Culture", where teens work together in roundtable discussions and advise each other on making positive choices; and

Whereas, In his capacity as chief psychologist for the Macomb County Youth Home, Lou Maceroni headed the treatment program for Youth Home detainees, evaluated youngsters on their fitness to face juvenile criminal proceedings, and was an advisor and confidant for youth with documented suicide attempts; and

Whereas, Although his work required tremendous time and effort, Lou Maceroni was, according to his peers, "extremely dedicated to the well being of those kids". It was this dedication that earned him the Mary S. Coleman award as the most outstanding child care worker in the state of Michigan in 1999; and

Whereas, In addition to the numerous achievements of his distinguished service, Lou Maceroni will also be remembered as a gentlemen of great dignity, thoughtfulness, and personal integrity; now, therefore, be it

House Resolution No. 154.

A resolution honoring Sallie Dunbar Johnson upon her retirement.

Whereas, The retirement of Sallie Dunbar Johnson from her responsibilities as a teacher and principal brings to a close an era of dedicated service to the young people of Detroit. We are pleased to join with students, co-workers, parents, family, and friends in expressing our admiration, appreciation, and best wishes to this most devoted professional; and

Whereas, In her 28 years as a teacher, Sallie Dunbar Johnson followed the noble pursuit of educating young people, a tradition that has always been an important part of Michigan's heritage. In her work at Lessenger Middle School, Drew Middle School, Brooks Middle School, and George Ford Junior High, she has instilled life-long skills and helped build self-confidence in thousands of youngsters who have grown into adulthood as capable and upstanding citizens. Though the tools used by modern-day teachers are far different than the slates and one-room schools of yesteryear, Sallie Dunbar Johnson has much in common with teachers from our pioneer era who worked so hard to build the future of this state through its children; and

Whereas, During Sallie Dunbar Johnson's years in the classroom, many changes occurred in our society that affected the learning process. Her ability to meet the challenge and cope with a changing world requires not only skill, but a deep sense of emotional concern as well. We thank Sallie Dunbar Johnson for passing this legacy onto our rising generations; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Sallie Dunbar Johnson upon her retirement as a teacher and principal. May she enjoy the health and happiness her years have earned her; and be it further

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

House Resolution No. 155.

A resolution honoring the life of Judge Leona Loretta Lloyd.

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation that we honor the memory of Judge Leona Loretta Lloyd. Like a comet sailing through the universe, Leona left her imprint on all that came in contact with her; and

Whereas, Leona Loretta Lloyd was born in Detroit on August 6, 1949 to Leon and Mattie Lloyd. Leona attended Wayne State University receiving degrees in education and law. Shortly after receiving her law degree, Leona worked as Senior Corporation Counsel for the City of Detroit Law Department in the Appellate Division. This position provided the opportunity to litigate in all courts, including the United States Supreme Court. A few years later, Leona and her sister, Leonia, opened a law firm that became nationally known for launching the careers of such artists as Kiara, Ready for the World, the late great Temptations, David Ruffin, and Eddie Kendricks. Leona and her sister were featured in Ebony, Jet, and People magazines for their accomplishments. They called themselves "Twins for Justice", which was a badge of honor; and

Whereas, Despite the many organizations that took up most of her time, Leona never neglected her spiritual obligations. She was a devoted member of the Original New Grace Baptist Church. Leona worked closely with the church's pastors to bring jobs to the area where Original New Grace is located. Her work in the Handgun Intervention Program at the 36th District Court played a vital part in the church's effort to make the area around the church safe for residents and visitors; and

Whereas, The great American author Nathaniel Hawthorne once wrote, "Generosity is the flower of justice.". That is the best way to describe the life of Leona Loretta Lloyd. She was generous in her time to the people and their causes. She represented the best of justice as a judge and a teacher. Those who had the pleasure of being touched by her special gifts will miss her; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body join in honoring the life of Judge Leona Loretta Lloyd; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the family of Judge Leona Loretta Lloyd as a token of our respect for her fine work.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

House Resolution No. 156.

A resolution to urge the Michigan Departments of Education and Treasury not to commit any appropriated funds to any tribal community college to charter a public school academy statewide until the Michigan Attorney General determines that this action would comply with Michigan law.

Whereas, The Revised School Code, 1976 PA 451, provides for the operation of public school academies. Among the provisions on charter schools are the requirements for the educational entities that can serve as authorizing bodies for a charter school; and

Whereas, The bodies that can enter into contracts to oversee charter schools are defined in section 501 of the Revised School Code, being MCL § 380.501. Subsection (1)(c) provides that the term "community college" includes "a federally controlled community college" recognized under federal law and determined to meet certain requirements for accreditation; and

Whereas, The state law regarding charter schools sets clear limits on the number of public school academies that can be chartered statewide by public universities. Other educational institutions, including community colleges and public school districts can charter public school academies within their districts. It is incumbent upon our state departments to follow both the letter and the spirit of the law by not committing any state funds until after the Michigan Attorney General determines how the geographic restrictions of the law apply to a tribally controlled community college; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Michigan Departments of Education and Treasury not to commit any appropriated funds to any tribal community college to charter a public school academy statewide until the Michigan Attorney General determines that this action would comply with Michigan law; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Attorney General and the Michigan Departments of Education and Treasury.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Education.

House Resolution No. 157.

A resolution commemorating the week of June 17-23, 2001, as Fathers Recognition Week.

Whereas, Children are our state's most precious and valuable resource and their welfare is our highest priority; and

Whereas, Having a relationship with both parents contributes to the healthy development of children and adds stability and strength to their lives; and

Whereas, We look to the father as a dedicated partner in guiding the children and inspiring in them the importance of morality, self-discipline, and determination; and

Whereas, Fathers play a crucial role in the mental, intellectual, physical, and emotional growth of their children and should be recognized for their contributions to their children's future; and

Whereas, Fathers Recognition Week provides an opportunity to honor all men who have embraced the importance of parenthood by willingly assuming the responsibility for the welfare of their children; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the week of June 17-23, 2001, as Fathers Recognition Week in Michigan.
