            A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Jack Brandenburg.

            Whereas, It is with great admiration that we thank and honor Representative Jack Brandenburg for his service to the Michigan Legislature and the people of Michigan. For the last 6 years, Representative Brandenburg has been a valued member of this legislative body, representing the interests of the Twenty-fourth District with passion and commitment; and

            Whereas, Jack Brandenburg earned a degree in business administration with a minor in economics from Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio. For nearly 30 years, he has owned and operated his own railroad supply business. He is an active member of his community, and prior to election to the legislature, served on Michigan's S.A.F.E. Schools Task Force and as appointee to the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority; and

            Whereas, For the last 6 years, Representative Brandenburg has been a champion for fiscal responsibility in the House of Representatives.

Representative Brandenburg's business experience has been an invaluable resource to the committee and the legislature as a whole and will be missed; now, therefore, be it
