The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 351.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Roger Kahn.
Whereas, It is a pleasure to extend our thanks and best wishes to our friend and colleague, Representative Roger Kahn, as he completes his service to this legislative body during the Ninety-third Legislature. With his talents, experience, and lifelong commitment to others, this distinguished gentleman has contributed significantly to the work of the House on a host of key public policy issues; and
Whereas, Representative Kahn studied at Delta College, Michigan State University, and the Wayne State University School of Medicine. His career as a cardiologist has had a far-reaching impact on our state. In addition to the direct help he has brought to patients and their families, he has been a major force behind the strengthening of care options available in the Saginaw community and has shared his considerable knowledge by teaching medicine at MSU; and
Whereas, In addition to his leadership in the area of health care, Representative Kahn has taken up many other notable endeavors, as is evident in his efforts with the Saginaw Rescue Mission, the Saginaw Chamber of Commerce, and the Saginaw County Board of Commissioners. Since arriving in Lansing as a lawmaker, the insights he gained in these wide-ranging pursuits have served the state well. His work as a member of the Appropriations Committee and the Health Policy Committee has been invaluable. We look forward to his continued efforts in the Michigan Senate; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of admiration and respect to the Honorable Roger Kahn in grateful acknowledgment of his contributions to this legislative body; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Kahn as evidence of our thanks and best wishes.
