Implementation of Expenditure Reductions Under Provisions of

Article V, Section 20, of the Michigan Constitution of 1963

 

Whereas, Article V, Section 20, of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 states that no appropriation is a mandate to spend, and that the Governor, with the approval of the appropriating committees of the House of Representatives and Senate, shall reduce expenditures authorized by appropriations whenever it appears that actual revenues for a fiscal period will fall below the revenue estimates on which appropriations for that period were based, and that reductions shall be made in accordance with procedures prescribed by law; and

Whereas, it appears that actual revenues for the fiscal period October 1, 2001 to September 30, 2002, will fall below the revenue estimates on which appropriations for that period were based, said estimates having been determined by the Legislature in accordance with Article IV, Section 31, of the Constitution of the State of Michigan; and

Whereas, under provisions of Section 391, Act 431 of the Public Acts of 1984, on the basis of written information from the State Budget Director and the State Treasurer, a finding has been made that actual revenue will fall below such revenue estimates; and

Whereas, there is an unanticipated loss of funding which the departments and agencies of state government do not expect to obtain or make up during the current fiscal year; and

Whereas, expenditure reductions totaling $319,156,893.00 are necessary; and

A resolution honoring Reverend Dee Dee M. Coleman.

Whereas, Reverend Dee Dee M. Coleman has been the recipient of many awards, commendations, and tributes for her boldness when speaking and proclaiming the uplifting of the name of Jesus. She has been noted as an "upcoming female in ministry who has a no-nonsense approach to the Gospel"; and

Whereas, Reverend Coleman has been under the leadership and tutelage of the Reverend Dr. Charles G. Adams, senior pastor of Hartford Memorial Baptist Church of Detroit, where she served as an associate minister and diaconate's trainer. She has been in the ministry since 1963 and was ordained as a deacon in October 1988. She was granted her license to preach in October 1990 and received full ordination to the ministry in July 1993; and

Whereas, Reverend Coleman served as the assistant to the pastor in liturgical ministries for Russell Street Missionary Baptist Church, where the Reverend Dr. Anthony C. Campbell was the senior pastor. She preaches and teaches throughout the country and is uniquely talented in presenting workshops on women's issues, bereavement, church structure, and deacon responsibilities; and

Whereas, Holding numerous memberships in various civic, social, community, and state organizations, Reverend Coleman cites the need for involvement as "critical in the movement of all people." She is the 1998 recipient of the American Business Women's Association Motor City Charter Chapter "Business Associate of the Year" award, as well as special tributes for her work in ministry from the United States Congress, United States Senate, Michigan Legislature, Michigan Senate, and the Spirit of Detroit Award from the city of Detroit for her invaluable work with and for community services; and

Whereas, Reverend Coleman holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from William Tyndale College, located in Farmington Hills, and is currently a doctoral candidate to Ashland Seminary, working on a doctorate in ministry with special studies in liturgical structure and planning of the world church. To her credit, Reverend Coleman was the beneficiary of a trip to England, where she was accepted to study on her doctorate at Westminster Abbey, under the guidance of the High Minister Canon Donald Gray, who serves as the minister to the Royal Family in London. Her studies included liturgy of the world church, where she preached, taught, and facilitated a conference for the East London Black Women's Association. She also had the opportunity to study church structure on a cathedral crawl from Iona (Scotland), Paris, and throughout London. She was the first North American black woman to ever be accepted for such an honor; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body join with the members of Russell Street Missionary Baptist Church in saluting Reverend Dee Dee M. Coleman in acknowledgment of her outstanding achievements; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Reverend Dee Dee Coleman and her family as evidence of the Michigan Senate's abiding esteem for her and her many attainments.

Senator DeBeaussaert was named co-sponsor of the resolution.
