It is with a heavy heart that I stand here today to read a memorial tribute to a member of a family whom I am familiar with. As we gather in these hallowed chambers from time to time, we rise, as we are today, with a gracious heart to thank those who have carried on the work of our state and our country.
So today we are joined in the Gallery by the mother and father, Dennis and Teri Johnson; Joe’s sister, Jennifer Pollak; grandmother, Glenna Maxwell; grandparents, Eugene and Lois Johnson; and uncles, Jim and John Maxwell and their wives are in attendance as well. Also we are honored today with the Casualty Affairs officer, Sergeant First Class Kent Smith and his son. At this time, I would like to read a memorial tribute, on behalf of the state of Michigan, to this fallen hero:
“In memory of Army Specialist Joseph Dennis Johnson
LET IT BE KNOWN, It is with deep respect, admiration, and sadness that we offer the highest tribute as a memorial for the life of Army Specialist Joseph Dennis Johnson.
On behalf of the citizens of the United States, the state of Michigan, and the Flint community, we extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Army Specialist Joseph Johnson. This loss has saddened all who had the good fortune of knowing him during his short life. Yet the fulfilling memories that Joe left with us will keep us laughing for years to come.
Joseph Johnson was born in Flint, Michigan, on May 7, 1983. He attended Carman-Ainsworth High School, where he played football for a short time. He spent the rest of his time playing saxophone in the marching band. His teacher said he was nothing less than an adventure to have in class. In 2004, he surprised his mother with a cap and gown and graduated. Joe went on to attend Lake Superior State University for a short time before he signed with the U.S. Army. He was assigned to the161st Engineer Support Company, 27th Engineer Battalion, 20th Engineer Brigade.
He served his nation valiantly as a specialist in the U.S. Army, spending his tour first as a combat engineer and specializing in rough terrain airborne and eventually disarmed bombs. He told his mother that for every bomb he dismantled, he was saving a life, which was a feeling he enjoyed more than anything. His commander insisted he was a natural heroic leader with the ability to take on any task. He volunteered for any mission and viewed it as a challenge. He was never afraid of anything and received some of the greatest accomplishments as a result. To name a few, he was given the Good Conduct Medal, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, and the incredible Delta Force Coin. He carried his coins with him at all times, though he never spoke of his accomplishments to anyone, not even his parents.
To all who knew Specialist Johnson, he was a social butterfly with an easygoing and laid-back attitude. He viewed every day as a new journey, and his daring mind never let a day pass without fulfilling it to its fullest. His motto was “If it isn’t worth the risk, it isn’t worth it.” He was someone who appreciated having fun. He would put a smile on your face or would make you cry laughing at any moment. Behind Joseph’s sense of adventure was a loving, caring, and compassionate young man who cared for all.
His cheerful attitude and giant heart made him fall in love with the children in Afghanistan. At one point, they convinced him to ride their donkey. Sure enough, he did. His parents later got a good laugh from the picture that he sent home. In his spare time, he thought of ways that he could help both of his parents and his loving sister Jenny and her husband with their beautiful children in any way possible.
The life of Army Specialist Joseph Dennis Johnson was a true demonstration of hard work, dedication, and commitment to both his family and his country. His memory reminds us to live every day to the absolute and the fullest just as he would have done.
Words are unable to describe the gratitude which we feel for his sacrifice and the dedication to which he gave his duty as a U.S. solider, a son, a brother, and an uncle. As we remember the wonderful young man Joe was, may we always remember him with a smile.
IN SPECIAL TRIBUTE, Therefore, This document is signed and dedicated to offer our words of praise as a memorial for Army Specialist Joseph Dennis Johnson. May his family find comfort in their faith and their memories of this fine man and his distinguished career.”
A moment of silence was observed in memory of Army Specialist Joseph Dennis Johnson.

We have with us today the family of Specialist Bradley David Rappuhn, who unfortunately lost his life in Afghanistan. They are in the north Gallery, and I would like to honor them with this tribute.
Specialist Bradley David Rappuhn was an anti-armor specialist assigned to Company B, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Benning, Georgia. He enlisted in January of 2009 and was killed recently by an improvised bomb during combat in Afghanistan.
Bradley graduated from Grand Ledge High School in 2004 and was a member of the bowling team. He loved fishing, his Harley Davison, and his dog Bill. He is survived by his parents, Cary Rappuhn of Potterville, Roxanne Rappuhn of Grand Ledge, and his brother Brent of Grand Ledge.
Specialist Rappuhn selflessly lived his life for others while he distinguished himself as a member of the Army’s premier light infantry unit. In every instance where he was called, he fought valiantly as he served his fellow rangers and our nation the United States of America.
Specialist Rappuhn received awards and decorations, including the Purple Heart, the Army Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with a Combat Star, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the Army Service Medal. He was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, and a second Purple Heart.
His family is in the north Gallery. I would like you to ask them to stand and that we honor them with a moment of silence.

In The Chair: President
Protests
Senators Jacobs, Whitmer and Prusi, under their constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the disapproval of the gubernatorial appointments to office.
Senators Jacobs and Prusi moved that the statements they made during the discussion of the appointments be printed as their reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
Senator Jacobs’ statement, in which Senator Whitmer concurred, is as follows:
I really rise with a heavy heart today. You know, about a year ago, I bought my gold ring which has the Michigan Legislature emblem on it. I was so proud to be able to wear this ring. There are so few of us who will actually have the opportunity to wear them. Then we fast forward to a day that mimics some things that happened a couple of months ago. It makes me very sad to see partisan politics that are being injected at a time when Michigan is hurting so much, when we should be balancing the budget.
Now I look back to May 6, 2010, when the Livingston Daily had an opinion editorial written, “Blocking nominees not moving state in positive direction.” Then there was an editorial from the Kalamazoo Gazette editorial board, “Why play politics with university board appointments?” Then we had the Morning Sun, Our View, “Politics got in the way of trustee appointments”; that was Thursday, April 29. The Detroit News, May 1, “Halt political gamesmanship,” and I would like to read—oh, Lansing State Journal, May 4, “Politics played on university appointments.” I would like to read from the June 28 editorial from the Detroit Free Press, “Arbitrary pettiness over appointments.”
I am going to read a little bit of this because, unfortunately, today we are faced with exactly the same situation. We are now going to try to block the Governor’s appointments. The editorial reads, “Arbitrary pettiness over appointments. Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop, R-Rochester, and his caucus struck another blow for petty partisanship last week when they rejected seven more of Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s appointments to low-level commissions on the novel theory that it’s not too early to start reserving some patronage jobs for a possible Republican successor.
The Senate’s latest gratuitous slap at the term-limited governor escalates an intuitional temper tantrum that began two months ago, when the upper house rejected 15 gubernatorial appointments, mostly to university boards. Those appointments were for terms that will begin the day Granholm leaves office, but GOP senators have pledged to block any appointment to posts for terms beginning after Sept. 3.”
It goes on to read that “Republican senators have not always been so disdainful of term-limited governors. They permitted Granholm’s predecessor, John Engler, to exercise his constitutional appointment powers even after Granholm was elected. GOP senators also neglected to block five Granholm appointments to the state’s Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission, all for terms beginning after Sept. 3. Bishop’s spokesman called that exception an administrative oversight.
The inconsistent application of Bishop’s arbitrary deadline underlines the pettiness of the GOP senators’ position; it bespeaks childishness as much as partisanship.
Voters in both parties would be better served by leaders willing to at least mimic the behavior of fully functioning adults.”
All I can say is no wonder people in the state want to throw the bums out. When our behavior like this goes back to the people of this state, I think they are going to be very disappointed in what is going to happen on this floor. I am just so sad that I have to get up here and read this kind of stuff as we repeat what I believe is just a huge, huge mistake. This is really doing a huge disservice not only to these qualified people, but to the people of Michigan.
Senator Prusi’s statement is as follows:
You know, this is like an encore of just a few months ago, where we’ve disregarded the committee process, where we disregarded the qualifications of these people who are being appointed or reappointed. Some of them, I may point out, were originally appointments by Governor Engler as he was going out the door eight years ago.
Taken to its logical extreme, you could get to a point where a Governor in the middle of their term wants to appoint people to boards and commission for a four- or six-year term, and we would say, well, that extends into the term of the potential next Governor, and we should not be doing that. The hypocrisy that is here is just astounding. My colleague from Oakland County pointed out all of the various editorials in the papers from both sides, the more liberal media as well as conservative newspapers, pointing out to their readers the pettiness and the travesty that we continue to put forward.
I just object that we disregard the qualifications, and we disregard the committee process. The people have put their names forward for these positions and simply want to do a good job for the people of the state of Michigan. We don’t even give them the courtesy of a committee hearing to see whether or not they are qualified to serve on these boards and commissions. We just in one big lump sum decide that they are not good enough to serve because they are being appointed by a Democratic Governor who has served for two terms, and you are holding off to see how the election turns out.
These people are qualified no matter who becomes the Governor in January of next year. I think this is very disappointing that we are going to use partisan political posturing to deny them the opportunity to either begin their service or continue their service to the people of the state of Michigan.
I would urge that we not disapprove these appointments en bloc; that we give these people the courtesy of a hearing; that we give them an opportunity to demonstrate that they are qualified.

Statements
Senators Whitmer and Scott asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Whitmer’s statement is as follows:
Today I rise to voice concern regarding a recent investigative report by WXYZ-TV in Detroit. According to the report, which aired on September 15, an Assistant Attorney General who helped with Mr. Cox’s last re-election has authored a blog that attacks the character and fitness of the president of the University of Michigan’s student assembly. Sadly ironic, as the Attorney General tours the state educating kids about the dangers of cyberbullying, one of his top lieutenants is a cyberbully.
Earlier this year, I introduced a resolution calling for more civility and respect in the political process, and I’m being careful with my words right now because I don’t want to add fuel to the fire by detailing the claims made by WXYZ‑TV, but you should check it out. What this new report raises as much as anything else is the all-too-common issue of cyberbullying. However, it seems clear that the intent of the Assistant Attorney General, when posting to his blog, was to harass, bully, and intimidate the student assembly president. He did this simply because the two men have differing views and beliefs.
As one of the five members of the bar in this chamber, I would question the character and fitness of the Assistant Attorney General—any Attorney General—who stoops to such a level because of differences of political opinion. Perhaps he could use a refresher course on professional responsibility. Regardless, I hope that the State Bar of Michigan and the Attorney General himself will review this report and initiate fact-finding or reprimands that are appropriate.
That being said, I feel it would be a mistake if I did not take this opportunity to ask that this chamber finally give serious consideration to a package of bills that I have introduced dealing with cyberbullying. There have been numerous tragic reports across the country and several here in Michigan. We have a chance to take this divisive and mean-spirited act and turn it into a learning moment.
The world is changing, and technology has become ever-present in the lives of our children. In order to protect them from the dangers of cyberbullying, we need first to educate them. I say, again, I am choosing my words with great care. I am not making this a partisan issue; it is too important for that. Neither party has a monopoly on wanting the best for our children, and as such, I hope that when we get back to work in the fall that we can take a serious look at the issue of cyberbullying.
Thankfully, there is no death associated with this unfortunate incident. How many more months will this chamber wait until trying to prevent another tragic ending?
Senator Scott’s statement is as follows:
Winston Churchill said, “Criticism may not be agreeable but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.” Michigan is in an unhealthy state when it comes to auto insurance.
Because of what we let insurance companies get away with when it comes to policy costs, we make criminals of our citizens who drive without insurance because they need their cars to get to work or pick up their kids. Because of what we let insurance companies get away with, we let citizens who have no debt and are responsible money managers pay high costs for their policies because the companies say they have no credit record, so they must be a credit risk. Because of what we let insurance companies get away with, we have created an unhealthy and unfair state of things that allow people living within walking distance of each other to pay radically different prices for the same kind of car insurance policy.
Auto insurance in Michigan deserves to be criticized and is criticized by many citizens, community leaders, and newspaper editors. It is high time that we listened to this criticism, and it is high time that we act and give our citizens fair and affordable auto insurance.
