Remove temptation from our path and give us the will to stand up for what is important to You. Lord, I also ask You to look over and guide our men and women that are serving in the military from the great state of Michigan and also help those loved ones that are still here at home in these difficult times while they are serving far away. I humbly ask this in Jesus name, Amen.”

Communications from State Officers
The following communication from the Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth was received and read:
February 24, 2010
In accordance with Section 8 of the Michigan Employment Security Act, being Section 421.8 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, the Unemployment Insurance Agency is required to report annually to the Governor and the Legislature any amount, in excess of $1.00, that the maximum weekly unemployment benefit rate would increase if the annual increase in the United States Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) were applied to the maximum weekly benefit rate.
I am therefore transmitting to the Governor, and to the House and Senate for publication along with this letter in the Journals of their respective bodies, the enclosed report showing that since the last increase in the maximum weekly benefit rate to $362.00, the increase in the CPI would result in an increase in the maximum weekly unemployment benefit rate to $430.38.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen M. Geskey, Director
Unemployment Insurance Agency
The communication was referred to the Clerk.
