Pastor Brent Nelson, Pastor of Five Points Community Church in Auburn Hills, offered the following invocation:
“Almighty God and heavenly Father, eternal Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, near and sovereign Holy Spirit of God I stand before Your triune glory among those gathered in this honorable assembly to cherish Your worth and grace over all that exists.
When we cherish You as You deserve, Your glory is maximized and our good is optimized for this life and the life to come.
To that end I would ask of You these things, O Lord:
That You would strengthen and establish Christ-exalting churches in this state, in that Your presence resides with us by their presence, and because the church will outlast every other institution.
I ask that You would strengthen the communities of this great State by sustaining the schools, businesses, health providers and governments, and thus preserve honor and order in our society.
I ask that You would protect healthy families and marriages from all that threatens them and make every home an emotionally, physically and spiritually safe place in which to grow.
I pray that You grant an atmosphere of respect, kindness, and dignity for all persons in this state. As bearers of Your image, each person would be afforded the value that is theirs intrinsically.
To that end, I pray that You would make abortion as unthinkable as slavery.
I pray that You would bless the economic climate of this state. Grant us to be wise stewards of the wealth You have entrusted to us, knowing that to the one who is faithful with little, more will be given and that to whom much is given, much is required.
I would ask for all those in state public service, these Representatives, Governor Snyder, Lt. Governor Calley, State Supreme Court Justices and all others, that You would bless them with Your wisdom, grace and insight. Continue to guard them from the moral pitfalls that can endanger their office of public service. Grant them foresight to craft laws and enact policies that best serve the State of Michigan. Bless them as they serve with the knowledge that they have been instituted by God in their role and for this time.
Because of their leadership, cause the citizens of this ‘pleasant peninsula’ to be both thankful to You O God, and well-prepared to hear the gospel of Your Son. The news that it is by Your grace alone, O God, than any can respond by faith alone - trusting wholly in Christ’s payment for sin and in His righteousness unto salvation — for the glory of God alone.”
In all these things, dear Lord, the priceless worth of Your glory will be seen yet not only seen, but cherished, and this most plainly in the face of Your Son. In whose name, I pray all these things. Amen.”

Rep. McMillin, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Until good metrics and dashboards are in place to ensure value for money budgeting of taxpayer money, I am inclined to vote ‘no’ on any additional supplemental spending. We need in place ways to ensure the spending of taxpayer money is being done efficiently and is measureable.”
Rep. Hovey-Wright, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Though I support some of these supplemental appropriations, I cannot support this bill without the amendment raised by Rep. Linberg requiring a 90 day notice and cost analysis before privatizing prison services. Privatizing doesn’t always save money in the long run and sometimes has unintended consequences.”
Rep. Segal, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Earlier this year, the legislature passed harmful, punitive and, quite frankly, needless tax hikes on seniors, the working poor and a host of others (HB 4361). I voted against that bill because I did not believe in the substance of it. I also voted against it, in part, because it contained $1 million allegedly to help the Treasury Department to implement the tax hike changes. The real reason this appropriation was inserted in the bill was to make sure that it could not be put to a vote of the people in Michigan because any bill with an appropriation in it cannot be subject to such a referendum vote of the people. I said as much at the time.
Now comes SB 138 that contains an additional amount of $19.7 million to help Treasury implement the very same new income tax changes. The large amount of money in SB 138 is proof that the earlier appropriation was just a hoax purely designed to make the new income tax hikes referenda-proof. The Governor and the Republican leadership knew there was no reason to put the smaller appropriation into HB 4361 because they knew they were going to have to put the real implementation money into a subsequent supplemental appropriation bill such SB138. This is the height of political chicanery and a waste of taxpayer money.
On May 29th, a very severe storm system did major damage to the Battle Creek area. To date, the City of Battle Creek has spent in excess of $430,000 just to gather up the debris. It faces even more unexpected costs to properly dispose of the debris and for other cleanup activities.
Within SB 138 is an appropriation line that would provide ‘up to’ $250,000 to help with disaster cleanup costs for Calhoun County. The language of ‘up to’ is not at all definite. The final amount could be much less when all is said and done. The City and people of Battle Creek desperately need that disaster relief money. I sponsored an amendment to SB 138 that would have removed the ‘up to’ language. This was summarily gaveled down without a record roll call vote even though there was plenty of support for one.
I voted no on SB 138 because I could not reconcile the astronomical amount of money being appropriated in the bill for implementing tax hikes on some of our most overburdened citizens with the fact that—in the same bill—the state will not commit to a set dollar amount to helping the City of Battle Creek and the surrounding areas to recoup costs for this disaster—despite the fact that the damage was of such a large scale that Governor Snyder toured the area in person and subsequently declared it a state disaster area.”

However, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that expanding the use of wind power could require transmission expansion costs of $60 billion by 2030; and
Whereas, Ultimately, the costs of new transmission and who pays these costs are determined by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Under the Federal Power Act, the FERC has the authority to regulate interstate transmission and must ensure that transmission rates are just and reasonable. Justness is also a centerpiece of FERC’s Order 890, first issued in 2007, which establishes the commission’s transmission cost allocation principles. Under Order 890, the FERC stated that when determining who pays for new transmission, it will first consider whether the cost allocation proposal fairly assigns costs among participants, including those who cause them to be incurred and those who otherwise benefit from them. The FERC also stated the intent to consider the support of state authorities and participants when approving cost allocation proposals; and
Whereas, The transmission tariff proposed by the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (MISO), which controls the grid in Michigan, 12 other states, and the province of Manitoba, proposes to allocate 100 percent of the costs of certain transmission projects designated as “multi- value projects” (MVP) to all customers in the MISO region. The tariff does not consider the unique situation of Michigan as a peninsular state that may not benefit from the construction of transmission lines in other parts of the MISO region. Additionally, the tariff includes allocation of lower voltage transmission facilities that may not provide benefits to Michigan; and
Whereas, Since Michigan accounts for 20 percent of the MISO load, Michigan consumers would be responsible for one-fifth of any new MVP transmission facilities approved to be built in the MISO region. The FERC’s ruling allows for an uncommon method of allocating costs on a regional basis. There are concerns that Michigan will not receive benefits that align with the costs it will bear for these facilities; and
Whereas, Several states, utilities, and ratepayer groups have filed for rehearing and clarification, including the Michigan Public Service Commission; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we support the Michigan Public Service Commission’s and the MISO Northeast Transmission Customers’ requests for clarification and applications for rehearing of the FERC’s December 16 order approving the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator’s cost allocation proposal to share transmission costs; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the chairman of the Michigan Public Service Commission, the president and chief executive officer of the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution as substituted (S-1) and named Senators Hansen and Proos as co‑sponsors.
The question being on concurring in the substitute (S-1) made to the concurrent resolution by the Senate,
The concurrent resolution will remain under Messages from the Senate.

Explanation of “No” Votes
Rep. Talabi, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the Senate Bill No. 498, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
IN OPPOSITION TO SB 0498
Today, those of us who fought hard for the principles of fairness, equality, the right to representative government stand in absolute shock as we look at the voting district boundaries presented in SB 498.
Gerrymandering is defined as the practice that attempts to establish a political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating geographic boundaries to create partisan, incumbent-protected districts. SB 498 is a clear and certain example of political party gerrymandering. Under SB 498 voting districts are not aligned based on municipalities with common interests. In certain instances political subdivisions have been completely ignored. SB 498 makes it clear that the voting district is designed to ensure the election of candidates from a certain political party.
The voting districts as presented in SB 498 are far from ensuring a representative government for all people. The plan also does not accept the principle that minority populations should have the right to be fairly represented. Instead the districts as presented are a clear plan to ‘divide and conquer.’ It is clear to see that the design of the districts is to give the current majority party the means by which to split the minority vote. Minority populations and the communities they live in are with little or no regard for municipal boundaries aligned with districts with large non-minority populations.
This is a clear violation of the Voting Rights Act. A primary tenet of the Act is to ensure districts where minority voters constitute well more than 50% of eligible voters (also referred to as ‘minority majority’ districts. Instead SB 498 seeks to the minimize the effective exercise of the statutory right to representative government by spreading out minority voters over a number of districts where they will no longer be able through their vote to assure themselves that they will be represented by a minority member.
I believe that the term ‘we the people’ in the Constitution expresses the right that all people should have equal access to the protections and guarantees of a constitutional government. This access is attained through the right to vote and to be fairly represented within the respective legislative bodies.
Voting districts in Michigan should continue to be based on the Apol standards that assure that voting districts not only contain equal populations but also that the feature contiguous and compact boundaries, maintain respect for municipal and county boundaries, and assure representation for minority groups. These standards represent a ‘common-sense’ approach to ensuring a representative government for all people.
SB 498 is a travesty to the principle of fair and equal representation. It is an insult to those of us who know that without equal representation there cannot be equal protection under the law. I strenuously oppose SB 498 and know that this is not how we can maintain representative government in Michigan.
State Representative Alberta Tinsley-Talabi District 3”
