Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Spade, Accavitti, Adamini, Anderson, Brown, Caswell, Daniels, DeRossett, Drolet, Ehardt, Elkins, Farrah, Garfield, Gillard, Gleason, Jamnick, Lipsey, Minore, Murphy, Paletko, Richardville, Sak, Sheltrown, Smith, Stallworth, Stewart, Vagnozzi, Waters and Zelenko offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 18.

A resolution memorializing the United States Postal Service and the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee to issue a commemorative postal stamp to depict coal miners.

Whereas, Coal was first discovered in Michigan in 1835. Coal mining was a significant industry in this state until the last deep coal mine closed in 1952. Portions of 32 counties in central lower Michigan are included in Michigan's coal basin with an estimated 300 million tons of reserves still in existence and available for mining; and

Whereas, Pioneers first began extracting bituminous coal near Jackson and used it as fuel to power locomotives and large factory engines following the Civil War. Larger operations opened in the late 1880s in Bay and Saginaw Counties and by the 1900s were producing almost 800,000 tons of coal; and

Whereas, Coal mining in Michigan reached its peak in 1907, producing 2 million tons in that one year, compared to 3.4 million tons during the entire previous century. When Michigan's last coal mine, located in Saginaw County, closed in 1952, the state's mines had produced approximately 46 million tons of coal. While an open-pit mine operated briefly in Ingham County in the mid-1970s, falling prices had brought an end to mining in the state; and

Whereas, Early mining operations in Michigan saw workers overcome incredible difficulties to bring coal to the surface. They frequently had to stand in pools of water, breathe rank air, and use lard lamps to see what they were doing. Often, miners had to lie on their bellies in wet mud while chipping away at the seams of coal; and

Whereas, Our entire nation could never repay coal miners for the difficult and dangerous job they performed so that we could operate our industries and heat our homes; and

Whereas, It would be proper and fitting for our nation to recognize coal miners, both past and present, for their contributions to this nation; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body memorialize the United States Postal Service and the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee to issue a commemorative postal stamp to depict our coal miners; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the United States Postal Service, members of the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Great Lakes and Tourism.

 

 

Reps. Spade, Accavitti, Adamini, Bradstreet, Brown, Daniels, DeRossett, Ehardt, Elkins, Farrah, Garfield, Gillard, Gleason, Jamnick, Lipsey, Minore, Murphy, Paletko, Sak, Sheltrown, Smith, Stallworth, Stewart, Vagnozzi, Waters and Zelenko offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 19.

A resolution to urge the Michigan Civil Service Commission to rescind its requirement that all new hires must use electronic funds transfer to receive their pay.

Whereas, The Michigan Civil Service Commission recently adopted a rule that provides that all new employees hired by the state can only receive their paycheck in electronic format. Contrary to current policies, which have been in place for many years, state employees who join the state work force will not have the option of receiving all or part of their wages in a traditional check. The new requirement, Rule 5-15, effectively reduces flexibility for workers and their families; and

Whereas, While many people who work for the state, like employees elsewhere, already utilize the electronic transfer option, there are many others who have serious concerns with electronic transfers. Reports of identity theft and computer crimes are worrisome to many who do not feel comfortable with what they feel is an unnecessary risk to their paycheck. Other workers may choose not to sign up for electronic payroll deposit because they want the added flexibility a paper check provides them when they do their banking with more than one institution; and

Whereas, Although there are good reasons for the state to promote electronic transfer for wages, it is wrong for the state to provide no option for its workers. The heavy-handed approach represented by the new rule is not needed and is inconsiderate for employees who have serious objections to electronic funds transfer for their paycheck; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Michigan Civil Service Commission to rescind its requirement that all new hires must use electronic funds transfer to receive their pay; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Civil Service Commission.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

 

 

Reps. Brandenburg, Hoogendyk, Kooiman, Caswell, Nitz, Drolet, LaJoy, Acciavatti, Stahl, Vander Veen, Richardville, Taub, Voorhees, Ehardt, Sheen, Emmons, Palmer, Hummel, Bradstreet, DeRossett, Garfield, Huizenga, Julian, Meyer, Pastor, Shulman and Stewart offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 7.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the President's 2003 economic growth and tax relief plan.

Whereas, President Bush has proposed an economic growth and tax relief plan designed to strengthen the American economy and deliver critical help to unemployed citizens; and

Whereas, The President's plan would end the double taxation on dividends, speed up tax cuts passed in 2001, encourage business investment, and help unemployed workers. These measures will speed economic recovery and encourage the creation of more jobs; and

Whereas, More than half of the American population invests in the stock market. Senior citizens receive approximately half of all dividend payments. In addition to the direct benefits of the proposal to eliminate the double taxation of dividends, all citizens and businesses in the country benefit from a strong stock market; and

Whereas, Everyone who pays taxes, especially middle-income Americans, will receive additional relief from the acceleration of the reduction of the marriage penalty tax, a faster increase in the child tax credit, and the immediate implementation of the new, lower, 10 percent tax bracket; and

Whereas, Every small business that purchases equipment will benefit greatly from the increase in expense limits from $25,000 to $75,000. This added incentive will help businesses grow by strongly encouraging the reinvestment of capital into the economy. The end result will be more jobs; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the President's 2003 economic growth and tax relief plan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce.
