Resolutions
Senators Cherry, Jacobs, Whitmer, Gleason, Kuipers, Olshove, Prusi, Schauer, Scott and Cropsey offered the following concurrent resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No.2.
A concurrent resolution to urge Michigan's public colleges and universities to make available to each Michigan high school information on the number of students who graduated from that high school who are taking remedial mathematics or English courses.
Whereas, The Lieutenant Governor's Commission on Higher Education and Economic Growth, known as the Cherry Commission, had as its goal the formulation of a plan to double the number of Michigan residents who obtain college degrees or other valuable credentials. One disturbing fact uncovered by the commission is that 42 percent of students entering Michigan colleges and universities must enroll in non-credit remedial mathematics or English courses; and
Whereas, In addition to the monetary costs involved in correcting this educational deficiency, the need to take pre-college courses once in college can only be an obstacle to completing a college degree. College is a challenging experience for those who are ready for college, and the shock of finding that their high school degree has not prepared them for college work may discourage some students from completing their degrees; and
Whereas, If our state is to reach the goals of the Cherry Commission in regard to increasing the number of our residents who obtain college degrees, we must help our high schools refine their curricula so that their students are ready to do college-level work on their first day in college. If our public colleges and universities would provide data to each Michigan high school about the number of students from that high school who are enrolled in remedial mathematics or English courses, our high schools could take a giant step toward making the goals of the Cherry Commission a reality; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we urge Michigan's public colleges and universities to make available to each Michigan high school information on the number of students who graduated from that high school who are taking remedial mathematics or English courses; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the presidents and boards of control of Michigan's public colleges and universities.
Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations and Reform,
Senator Cropsey moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
Senator Cropsey moved that the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Education.
The motion prevailed.
Senators Anderson and Pappageorge were named co-sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

Statements
Senators Schauer, Cropsey, Scott and Van Woerkom asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Schauer's statement is as follows:
I rise to announce the retirement of a longtime employee of the Michigan Senate for the Senate Democratic Caucus, Kathy Emery, who is retiring after 22 years of service to the Michigan Senate--longer than any of us have been around. We have been so privileged to have Kathy working for the Senate. I asked what her official title was and it took people a while to tell me, but it was actually records coordinator. But what Kathy did was really important to her co-workers; she made sure that their time cards were completed properly so that they could get paid, so that they didn't use more vacation time or annual time than what they actually had available to them. To us members, Kathy did the painstaking work of ensuring that the Senate Democratic analysis calendar was available for us on our desks every session day. She provided that necessary information that was added to roll call votes in a timely manner, and that was also very important to us.
Probably more important than all of that, Kathy Emery treasures her family and has helped teach the next generation of Michigan citizens about their state government by bringing her six delightful grandchildren, Zachary, Kallie, Sydney, Maggie, Hunter, and Katie--the sons and daughters of Kathy and her husband Dick's three children, Lori, Rick, and Holly--to Take Your Child to Work Day every year. I forgot to mention that Kathy and her husband Dick have been married for 42 years, so her leave from the State Senate is going to allow her and her husband much-deserved time together.
On behalf of all the members here in our caucus in this chamber and all of your co-workers, Kathy, we thank you for your outstanding 22 years of service and for all that you did for us. We wish you all of the best for a very happy retirement.
Senator Cropsey's statement is as follows:
You know, one of the tremendous benefits of being here in the Senate or being in the Legislature is the people we get to work with. I think some of the most interesting people we have to work with are oftentimes interns who come into our offices. They have the youth of this state and come in and help out in the legislative process, which is truly a blessing. One of the best interns that my office has ever had has been in my office for the last 18 weeks and today is her last day. Sarah Lanczy is a senior at DeWitt High School, which is my alma mater by the way. This fall she will be attending James Madison College studying international relations.
She has been a very hard worker and a team player. She has always been prepared and ready to do whatever the day would bring. Now what is interesting about it is one of her compatriots from high school--kind of your boyfriend, isn't he? Yeah--was an intern last year in my office and she kind of knew what she was getting in for and she came anyway. We do appreciate the work that she has done. During this move that we had from the Farnum Building over to the Capitol, she snagged her boyfriend to come in and help move some of the boxes and pack up things and they did a tremendous job.
The work that she has done on a day-to-day basis has been helping with constituent needs, constructing tributes and congratulation cards, filing, and organizing. My office is truly going to miss Sarah, and I just wanted to tell Sarah thank you very much and that not only will my office miss you, but the Senate will miss you. Thank you, Sarah.
Senator Scott's statement is as follows:
To my colleagues, for the last two years and eleven months, I have stood at this podium and addressed my colleagues on both sides of the aisle on the unfairness and inequities of insurance in Michigan, particularly in the city of Detroit, and having a task force in the urban areas around this state. In doing so, I was fulfilling a promise I made in March 2004, almost three years ago, that I would continue to make these statements until this problem was resolved. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Something must be done about these skyrocketing insurance rates in the city of Detroit and other urban areas. This is not a new problem; it's just an old problem that has never been solved to our satisfaction, and in every statement I have implored my colleagues to address the rising cost of insurance.
I tell you how unfair it is that Detroit drivers must pay the highest rates in this state when they are the group who can afford it the least. I tell you how unjust it is. Regardless of the claim histories and regardless of their driving records, they are mandated to pay these exorbitant rates that are among the highest in the country because of their zip codes. So here it is almost three years later and I am still making these statements.
Whether my words have made an impact is not for me to say, but now it is time to move from words to action. While you may not see me at this podium every session day, but I will be here every session day that I can. I can promise you will hear from me. I am determined to produce some positive results. I am looking forward to returning to legislative session where we can begin action on this important issue.
Meanwhile, I wish every one of you a happy and productive new year, and I look forward to working with you on bringing insurance reform to the ratepayers of this state.
There is a saying in the Bible that says when you do it to the least of these, you have done it unto Thee. I know we are here to serve this whole state of Michigan. Every person here is important, so I just want to remind us as we start this new session that we do it when we think about each and every constituent in this state and that we treat them all alike.
Senator Van Woerkom's statement is as follows:
As you may recall, yesterday the Senator from the 2nd District made a promise to our security people about baking an apple pie. She said if she got her hands on some Michigan apples, she'd be willing to do that. Well, we have apples here today. I'm happy to bring in some Michigan apples, and I want to urge you all to choose Michigan apples for good health, as stated on the little card on the apples that we have.
There is an old statement about an apple a day keeps the doctor away. There is a lot of truth to that. Apples are very healthy food. You know that we are in a battle with obesity here in the state of Michigan. Apples are certainly a healthy snack and I suppose it's even healthy even if you bake it into an apple pie.
I want to urge you all to select Michigan apples when you go to the store. Agriculture is doing very well in the state of Michigan. We've said before that agriculture has been a rock through these economic hard times that we've faced. Much of it has to do with the growth of alternative fuels. I want to remind everybody that agricultural products are also good food. They add real value to our state, and when you purchase Michigan agricultural products, you help not only the growers, but also the processors, the packagers, the truck drivers, and the retailers in our state.
So I want you to select Michigan fruits and vegetables for the good of our economy. Many of us give strong consideration to automobiles that are built in Michigan when we purchase our cars. I hope you give that same kind of consideration to the fresh fruits and vegetables that you purchase here in the state of Michigan.
