I respectfully submit to the Senate, pursuant to Section 6 of Article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the following appointment to state office under Section 3 of the Firefighters Training Council Act of 1966, 1966 PA 291, MCL 29.363:

Firefighters Training Council

Mr. Shaun P. Abbey of 8116 Oldfield Court S.E., Byron Center, Michigan 49315, county of Kent, succeeding Kevin Pirlot, who has resigned, is appointed to represent the Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union, for a term commencing December 7, 2010 and expiring December 31, 2010.

The appointment was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

The following message from the Governor was received and read:

CHILDREN; PARENTAL RIGHTS

December 21, 2010

I have vetoed and return with objections Enrolled Senate Bill 1120, as provided under Section 33 of Article IV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963. The bill would amend Section 19b of the Probate Code of 1939 to make technical changes intended to facilitate more timely adjudications and permanency for children surrendered under the Safe Delivery of Newborns Law. While I support these changes, the bill also would inadvertently repeal other provisions of Section 19b enacted earlier this year as Public Act 7 of 2010. Because of this conflict, I return Enrolled Senate Bill 1120 without signature.

Respectfully,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor

This bill was received from the Governor on December 22, 2010, at 1:22 p.m.

The following message from the Governor was received and read:

PROPERTY TAX; PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE EXEMPTION

December 21, 2010

Leaders from local governments throughout Michigan have expressed opposition to the enactment of Enrolled Senate Bill 77. They assert that while the legislation may be well intended, the mechanism for implementation is flawed, administrative costs would be imposed on local governments without funding, and needed revenue would be diverted from local communities. Because I agree, Enrolled Senate Bill 77 is vetoed and returned without signature as provided under Section 33 of Article IV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963.

Respectfully,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor

The following message from the Governor was received and read:

MICHIGAN BUSINESS TAX; CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT,

ARCHITECTURAL, AND ENGINEERING SERVICES PAYMENTS

December 21, 2010

I have vetoed and return with objections Enrolled Senate Bill 192, as provided under Section 33 of Article IV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963. The bill would amend the Michigan Business Tax Act (“MBT”) to allow taxpayers engaged in freight trucking to deduct payments to subcontractors from the modified gross receipts tax base under the MBT.

Under the MBT, payments to subcontractors generally are not deducted from the modified gross receipts tax base. Three years ago, when the 94th Legislature was debating the MBT, there was an opportunity to adjust the modified gross receipts tax base and rate while including a broad deduction for subcontractor and other service costs. The Legislature did not adopt such an approach. Three years later, rather than addressing the resulting structural concerns with the MBT in a comprehensive and fair manner, Senate Bill 192 would instead single out and alter the deductibility of a narrow range of payments in a piecemeal and inequitable manner that I cannot support. The bill also would reduce state revenue by $14 to $15 million in the current fiscal year.

For these reasons, I return Enrolled Senate Bill 192 without signature. This issue is best dealt with as part of a comprehensive restructuring of business taxes by the new administration and the next legislature.

Respectfully,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor

Resolutions

Senators Sanborn, Cropsey, Pappageorge, Hardiman and Nofs offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 179.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that makes permanent the provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001.

Whereas, The significant growth in the federal deficit over the past 18 months as a consequence of federal bailouts and new federal programs has resulted in the President and many in Congress proposing that some or all of the tax relief provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 be allowed to expire at the end of the year. This shortsighted approach would take away necessary tax relief from individuals and small business owners; and

Whereas, The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act includes income tax rate reductions for all income brackets, incentives for small businesses to expand and hire, and the elimination of the practice of double taxing dividends. Taken together, these policies have kept a considerable amount of money in the hands of American workers and their families during these difficult financial times; and

Whereas, The approach of letting citizens decide how best to spend more of their money will prove to be the best strategy for reviving the economy and putting our country on a stronger foundation for the future. It would also be instrumental in limiting the growth of the federal government; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we hereby memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that makes permanent the provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

Pursuant to rule 3.204, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Senators Barcia, Birkholz, Cassis, Jansen, Kuipers and Richardville were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senator Birkholz offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 217.

A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to make every effort to expedite and fund the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basin Interbasin Study and to ensure Asian carp do not invade the Great Lakes.

Whereas, Man-made channels in the Chicago Area Waterway System connect the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. This artificial connection provides a pathway for aquatic invasive species in the Mississippi River system to enter the Great Lakes and vice versa with the potential for severe ecological and economic impacts; and

Whereas, Asian carp may currently be using the man-made connections between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River system to successfully invade the Great Lakes and its tributaries. Asian carp represent one of the greatest, but also preventable, threats to the natural resources of the Great Lakes and to the way of life these resources support; and

Whereas, The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting a three-year study to analyze the situation and recommend solutions. The Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study (GLMRIS) has the potential to provide the definitive roadmap for preventing future invasions between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River system, not just a balancing of economic and environmental concerns; and

Whereas, The current threat from Asian carp is immediate and substantial. Every effort must be made to expedite this study, and every necessary action must be taken to prevent Asian carp from invading the Great Lakes and its tributaries while we await the results of this study. Each day lost is additional time for Asian carp and other invasive species to become established and permanently change life on the Great Lakes or the Mississippi River system; and

Whereas, Fully funding the study over the course of its work is imperative to resolving the current Asian carp crisis and preventing future invasions. While funding is available for 2011, failure to fully fund the GLMRIS in future years could lead to delays in completing the study when time is of the utmost importance; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we urge the Congress of the United States to make every effort to expedite and fund the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basin Interbasin Study and to ensure Asian carp do not invade the Great Lakes; and be it further

Pursuant to rule 3.204, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Senators Allen, Barcia, Basham, Cassis, Gleason, Hardiman, Olshove, Pappageorge and Richardville were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senators Prusi, Brater, Thomas, Clark-Coleman, Olshove, Anderson, Hunter, Switalski, Jacobs, Basham, Whitmer, Scott, Gleason and Barcia offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 218.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to provide an extension of unemployment benefits and to urge Governor-elect Snyder to support this request.

Whereas, With the scheduled expiration of federal unemployment benefits at the end of November, 4 million Americans, including more than 180,000 people in Michigan, are at risk of being put in even greater peril. With the loss of these critically important benefits for those who are experiencing an extended period of joblessness, the families impacted will find themselves in even worse circumstances; and

Whereas, As national debates center on stimulating the economy, possible tax cut extensions, and various strategies to help America emerge from the Great Recession, it is important to remember that money used to fund unemployment benefits is directly channeled into the economy. Families struggling to feed their children and meet basic needs cannot divert this money to long-term investment, but use it to meet immediate and essential needs. Ignoring this opportunity to help working families also undermines the confidence that is so important to our nation’s future; and

Whereas, For any matter as significant as helping struggling families meet their basic needs as Michigan grapples with a prolonged period of job losses, it is imperative that the state’s leaders work together. Our state’s newly elected officers can send a strong message to Washington that these workers displaced from their jobs remain a key part of our common future; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to provide an extension of unemployment benefits and to urge Governor-elect Snyder to support this request; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Governor-elect Snyder, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

Pursuant to rule 3.204, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
