Rep. Marty Knollenberg, from the 41st District, offered the following invocation:
“I would like to reflect upon my late grandmother who was most humble and gracious. I appreciated her wisdom and I remember her telling me to ‘count my blessings’. In memory of her, I want to read two poems that will remind us to count our blessings.
The first is from Ralph Waldo Emerson and is called The Prayer of Thanks. ‘For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, For love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends, Father in Heaven we thank Thee.’
The second poem is unknown. ‘May your day be filled with blessings like the sun that lights the sky. And may you always have the courage to spread your wings and fly.’ Amen.”
______
Rep. Booher moved that Reps. Huizenga and Ward be excused from today’s session.
The motion prevailed.
Rep. Tobocman moved that Rep. Scott be excused from today’s session.

______
Reps. Meekhof and Agema, 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:
While I support many programs in this budget, as a whole it has severe problems that need correcting. I cannot ignore the lack of reforms or new structural deficits this bill creates.
The proposed FY 2008-2009 budget is dependent on the Democrats’ $1.4 billion tax hike as well as several one-time funding gimmicks, yet the non-partisan House Fiscal Agency said we still cannot afford this level of spending. I refuse to support spending we cannot afford, especially since doing so will set the stage for another tax hike.
This DEQ budget fails to make any significant cuts that reflect the state’s expected budget shortfall.
Furthermore, this bill was not given a proper hearing in committee. Instead, it was rushed directly to the floor where we were forced to vote on it without adequate time for review or an opportunity to offer input. I refuse to vote in favor of a bill that has been rammed through the Legislature and not given the proper amount of attention voters expect from their elected officials.
For these reasons, I cannot support this bill at this time.”
Rep. Tobocman moved that the bill be given immediate effect.
The question being on the motion made by Rep. Tobocman,
Rep. Hildenbrand demanded the yeas and nays.
