Rep. Neal Nitz, from the 78th District, offered the following invocation:

"In this quiet moment, Lord, before the day begins, before we raise our voices in affirmation or dissent, before we assert our minds or our wills, we turn to ask You that our thoughts be Your thoughts, our hopes, Your hopes, and our dreams, Your dreams.

For the possibilities of this day, for the opportunities You have given each of us to serve You and others, for all the ways that You have graced us already with joy of Your presence and with the love of family and friends--with all the riches of our daily lives, we give You thanks.

Lord, walk with us today through our many tasks, granting us joy in all that we do, peace in knowing we have done it as well as we can, and forgiveness, if we fail, whether individually or collectively, to do what You would have us to do.

Grant us also Lord, the grace to listen to others, even when we disagree, the sharpness of mind to sort out what is good from what isn't, and from the largeness of heart to recognize when others are right, and we are wrong.

And may we have the grace, Lord, at the end of this day, as of every day, when we have laid aside all our tasks, to look back and see that You have once again filled this day with unexpected joys and with unexpected blessings, and that You have turned our small and often bumbling efforts into something greater than we could have hoped.

And so, at the beginning of this day, in the quietness of this moment while the day is still fresh, we lift up our hearts to You and ask for Your presence, Your guidance, and Your grace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Rep. Palmer moved that Rep. Ehardt be excused from today's session.

Communications from State Officers

The following communication from the Department of Labor and Economic Growth was received and read:

July 1, 2004

In accordance with Public Act 304 of 1982, the attached 2003 Annual Report for the Michigan Utility Consumer Representation Fund is transmitted to the Legislature.

The state's six largest utilities were required, under this Act, to contribute a total of $981,150 to fund intervention participation in cost increase and reconciliation cases filed by utilities with the Michigan Public Service Commission. 47.5% of the revenue is allocated to fund intervenor grants, 47.5 of the revenue is allocated to the Department of Attorney General, and the remaining 5% is available for administrative costs.

The Utility Consumer Participation Board grant recipients reported disallowed costs by the Michigan Public Service Commission for 2003 in the amount of $93,035,177. This action was a result of intervention efforts either by grantees alone, or in conjunction with other parties. The Utility Consumer Participation Board awarded $305,273 for calendar year 2003. The Attorney General's Office expended $403,068 in calendar year 2003 for intervention by that Office on behalf of the utility ratepayers of Michigan.

The Attorney General's Office will send their P.A. 304 Annual Report under separate cover.

Sincerely,

UTILITY CONSUMER PARTICIPATION BOARD

Dr. Harry Trebing, Chair

The communication was referred to the Clerk.

A person who forges a signature on an absent voter ballot application is guilty of a felony.
