Pastor John DeVries of Christian Reformed Church of St. Joseph offered the following invocation:
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, before the business of the day begins, we pause to lift before You our hearts, our minds, and our souls. We lift, Lord, before You our hearts, knowing that You know our hearts. You know that which affects our hearts, our pains, the difficulties that we see, the fears, and the issues that lie before us. We also know that You know how to heal our hearts, what is best for us, and that You long to show us compassion each and every day.
Lord, we lift before You our minds, because we know that on our own, we simply grope in the darkness, and yet, in Your light, we see light. We pray for the events of today that You would give us Your light and that the principles of Your truth from Your word would be the things that guide us and direct us.
We, of course, O Lord, this morning, lift before You our souls. We give You praise, knowing that the events that we engage ourselves in today are for today and for a time, but that as we embrace Your gospel by faith, we look forward to a day that will never end.
So, in this day, Lord, we pray that You would give us all that we need to do our work well, that we would do it well in Your eyes, and that it would be for the good of all. In the name of our Lord Jesus, we pray. Amen.
The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

I have a very special guest in the Gallery with me today. The gentleman’s name is Dan Robinson, and he doesn’t realize I’m going to do this here. Dan Robinson’s father was one of the members of the Navy Seal Team 6 who were shot down over Afghanistan. You may have heard about the large number of Seal Team 6 members who were killed on that day. He has taken that event and poured his heart into serving our veterans, like many veterans’ families do, especially Gold Star families.
I had the honor of meeting him because he was sitting in our Freedom Center and got to meet our president of the Freedom Center, and said, “How can I help?” He has volunteered to go off and help with our Freedom Center in so many different ways, and it’s been an honor to come to know him.
It is with great privilege and honor that I request that all my Senate colleagues here welcome him to the Senate, up in the north Gallery.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 20
Senate Resolution No. 171

The question was placed on the adoption of the following resolution consent calendar:
Senate Resolution No. 185
The resolution consent calendar was adopted.
Senators Gregory, Anderson, Bieda, Marleau, Johnson, Hood, Hopgood and Ananich offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 185.
A resolution to proclaim October 16, 2014, as Dr. Abraham Nemeth Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Dr. Abraham Nemeth was born on October 16, 1918, in New York City and attended public school as a totally-blind child. He majored in psychology at Brooklyn College and received a master’s degree in psychology from Columbia University; and
Whereas, In 1955, Dr. Nemeth joined the faculty of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Detroit Mercy, where he was known for the innovative way he devised to convey mathematical concepts, and served for thirty years until his retirement in 1985; and
Whereas, Dr. Nemeth received a Ph.D. in mathematics from Wayne State University in Detroit. He was considered a man of vision and action, with intellectual brilliance and insightful wit; and
Whereas, The lack of Braille materials and Dr. Nemeth’s determination to pursue his love of math and science led to the creation of what is now known as the Nemeth Braille Code for Mathematics and Science Notation. This was a landmark step in the opportunity for blind students to engage in scientific studies; and
Whereas, This unique and revolutionary idea became the official code in the United States, later in Canada and New Zealand, and is recognized as an indispensable tool for instruction in mathematics and science; and
Whereas, The Nemeth Code continues to make it possible for blind men and women to pursue careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; supporting themselves and their families and changing the public perception of blindness in a positive way; and
Whereas, Dr. Nemeth also developed MathSpeak, which is a standard system of reading mathematical formulas out loud. He has changed the lives of countless blind people through his pioneering work, creating the Nemeth Braille Code for Mathematics and Scientific Notation; and
Whereas, Dr. Nemeth was an active member of the National Federation of the Blind; served as the chairman of the Michigan Commission for the Blind from 1991 until 1993; received the Migel Medal by the American Foundation for the Blind in 1999; and in 2001, received the Creative Use of Braille Award from the American Printing House for the Blind. The Division of Visual Impairments of the Council for Exceptional Children awarded him the Exemplary Advocate Award. He was a longtime resident of Southfield, Michigan, and was still working on the Nemeth Code until his passing on October 2, 2013; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body proclaim October 16, 2014, as Dr. Abraham Nemeth Day in Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the National Federation of the Blind as a token of our esteem.
Senators Booher, Hansen, Kowall and Pappageorge were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.
Senators Kowall, Bieda, Hildenbrand, Hansen, Nofs, Hune and Ananich offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 184.
A resolution designating October 4, 2014, as Buy Nearby Get Caught Blue-Handed Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Buy Nearby is an ongoing, year-round campaign launched by the Michigan Retailers Association to benefit businesses, local communities, and residents across Michigan; and
Whereas, The campaign is intended to serve as a personal call to action, a symbol of pride and celebration, a rallying cry across Michigan, and an economic driver for our state and local communities; and
Whereas, Buy Nearby wants to bring a Pure Michigan type of feeling to shopping in Michigan and get shoppers committed to buying nearby in Michigan; and
Whereas, Retailing is responsible for 850,000 jobs in Michigan, and if shoppers commit to buying nearby in Michigan, we can create more local jobs through increased local purchases; and
Whereas, If Michigan consumers chose to support retail businesses in Michigan by buying nearby rather than from remote sellers, Michigan in 2015 would gain more than 74,000 additional jobs and $9 billion in additional economic activity, including $2.5 billion in additional wages the new workers would earn; and
Whereas, Each purchase made when someone buys nearby in Michigan keeps more money within Michigan communities, which improves the vitality of Michigan’s local economies, their quality of life, and directly supports our communities, our schools, and our infrastructure; and
Whereas, Buy Nearby seeks to build upon and strengthen existing shop-local groups by expanding and elevating the Buy Nearby in Michigan movement to a statewide campaign; and
Whereas, The year-round Buy Nearby campaign has designated October 4, 2014, as Get Caught Blue-Handed Day, a day to celebrate local retail businesses and their importance and to encourage consumers to “get caught” buying nearby; and
Whereas, Communities and retailers are encouraged to offer special events and other promotions to boost local shopping and stimulate Michigan’s economy on Get Caught Blue-Handed Day; and
Whereas, Buy Nearby will inspire shoppers to participate in the excitement of Get Caught Blue-Handed Day, which will demonstrate that buying nearby can be fun and rewarding to local communities and consumers; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That October 4, 2014, be hereby designated as Buy Nearby Get Caught Blue-Handed Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That the people of the state of Michigan are encouraged to buy nearby on this day and every day.
Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,
Senator Meekhof moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The resolution was adopted.
Senators Anderson, Booher, Marleau and Pappageorge was named co‑sponsor of the resolution.
Senator Kowall asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Kowall’s statement is as follows:
The Buy Nearby campaign is an ongoing, year-round campaign intended to create excitement about great shopping in Michigan and the advantages of supporting retailers in communities in Michigan. The campaign is designed to get everyone excited about the great places to shop in our state and get shoppers committed to buy in the state.
The campaign runs throughout the year, and it’s celebrated on the first Saturday in October as Get Caught Blue-Handed Day, which reflects the logo which is blue. It incorporates the Michigan Great Lakes and sky and plays on the expression “get caught red-handed.”
About half of every dollar spent in Michigan stores goes back to the local Michigan economy. More than 866,000 Michigan jobs are directly dependent on our retail sales. If Michigan consumers choose to support businesses in Michigan by always buying nearby rather than from out-of-state retailers, Michigan in 2015 would gain more than 740,639 additional jobs and $9 billion in additional economic activity.
I would encourage all of my colleagues to support this resolution.

By unanimous consent the Senate proceeded to the order of
Statements
Senators Whitmer, Colbeck and Kahn 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:
I have served here at the Capitol for 14 years now. I have been the Democratic Leader here in the Senate for the past 4 years. We have fought a lot of battles. I have spoken up for what I thought was right, and I have honestly worked as hard as I could day in and day out to be an advocate for the people. Then, in one fell swoop yesterday, I saw a new TV ad by Republicans in support of Governor Rick Snyder that reminded me that despite what I have accomplished and what millions of women across Michigan have accomplished, you still just look at us and see one thing—woman. As a woman, I must be the same as every woman. As a woman, I couldn’t really care about issues. After all, there are pretty dresses we could be looking at—wedding dresses even; how what ultimately must drive me as a woman doesn’t have anything to do with issues that are actually impacting me and millions of other mothers, wives, and daughters throughout Michigan is only my insatiable desire to find the right wedding dress.
There are no longer any excuses. There is no longer any doubt that these are the beliefs of the Republican Party. This ad would never have seen the light of day if they weren’t. It isn’t funny. It isn’t cute. It isn’t satire. It so poorly attempts to tell young women that so what if the Republican men passed a law that tells a raped woman that she doesn’t deserve health care access? Who needs it? Insurance is so complicated anyway, and women should just trust you guys on the other side of the aisle to know what is best for our bodies; certainly, better than our lady doctors anyway.
And paycheck fairness? Why worry ourselves about that? Your own Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land said we women are more interested in flexibility than pay, right? Why would I be concerned about my daughters starting their careers on equal footing when Republicans, apparently, believe they should be focused on finding the right man to provide for them anyway? And don’t even get me started on issues like childcare or rising college tuition or the state of our schools. Sure, those things directly impact my daughters and millions of kids around the state, but, hey ladies, pretty dresses.
Your actions that go so directly against what is best for women—our health, our futures—deserve every bit of scorn and outrage that they have received. The fact that you so clearly don’t even understand why your actions have offended so many, that’s the worst part. This is 2014, not 1914. These attitudes are as outdated as they are outrageous, and they must be stopped; either by your own willingness to finally recognize women for who we really are or the willingness of women like me who will make sure that those of you who cling on to these beliefs are no longer representing us inside this Capitol.
I’m tired of excuses. I’m tired of apologies. I’m tired of having to tell my daughters why the people I have to go to work with so often treat women like second-class citizens. For Governor Snyder to have this type of message out there with his name on it is disgraceful. But I doubt if he even understands that at this point, or maybe he just doesn’t care. But women do care. Women will vote, and I can promise you that Vera Wang is not going to be the name on the ballot this year.
Senator Colbeck’s statement is as follows:
The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was signed into law on March 23,2010. Since that time, the President has made numerous attempts to unilaterally modify the law via regulatory language that is not consistent with the text of the law. One of the most egregious examples of these modifications pertains to the ability to provide subsidies to enrollees via the federal exchange, the infamous healthcare.gov . The legislative text of Obamacare speaks of the premiums as being available only through an exchange established by the state. Thirty-six states have not established state exchanges and are instead relying on exchanges that have been established and are being operated by the federal government.
In response to this attempt by the Obama Administration to change the law with the President’s pen and phone, one of the many lawsuits challenging the legality of the Affordable Care Act has been filed. Halbig v. Burwell, formerly known as Halbig v. Sebelius, is a lawsuit challenging U.S. Treasury regulation 26 C.F.R., section 1.36B-2(a)(1), issued under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This is an extremely important lawsuit for both supporters and detractors of the Affordable Care Act.
On July 22, 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 in favor of the plaintiff, while on the same day in the separate case of King v. Burwell, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled 3-1 in favor of Sylvia Burwell, the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Why is this Halbig v. Burwell court case so important? Reason No. 1: Rule of law. HR 3590, also known as Obamacare, states that “insurance subsidies are only available through an exchange established by the states.” President Obama attempted to unilaterally change the law and subsidize insurance plans through the federal exchange. This action is not authorized by the law and, therefore, illegal. The taxes instituted to pay for these illegal subsidies would also be illegal for states that defaulted to the federal exchange, i.e., Michigan.
Why is the Halbig v. Burwell court case on Obamacare so important? Reason No. 2: Freedom. An estimated 8,311,967 individuals and 56,995,795 in the 36 states which chose to pursue the federal exchange, including Michigan, would be free from being subject to unlawful taxes. In Michigan, an estimated 2,527,857 employees would be freed from the employer mandate, including 110,576 government employees.
Why is the Halbig v. Burwell court case on Obamacare so important? Reason No. 3: Economics. Individuals and employers within states that did not pursue state-based exchanges would not be subject to unlawful federal taxation. The lack of these illegal taxes would yield an effective tax advantage for individuals and employers within those states. This tax advantage would then incentivize states which did pursue the state-based exchanges to dump their exchanges in exchange for the federal exchange. If all 50 states were to default to the federal exchange, there would be no insurance mandates, and Obamacare would effectively be dead. All that would be left to clean up would be the removal of the 159 new organizations created under Obamacare and the removal of their burden to American taxpayers.
If the Halbig v. Burwell court case is ultimately ruled in favor of the plaintiff, it will be clear that Michigan’s citizens dodged a bullet by not adopting the state-based exchange. Obamacare is effectively dead with or without repeal. It was clear to those who read the law, as I did, that the President’s actions to provide subsidies via the federal exchanges were in direct violation of the law. Now it is time for the courts to rule once and for all on this matter. In the meantime, Michigan needs to stand in steadfast opposition to the state-based exchanges. This stand should eventually provide our citizens with a sorely-needed get out of Obamacare free card.
Senator Kahn’s statement is as follows:
Mr. President, here we are in the last day before going home to talk to constituents of our own—to the people of Michigan. We’re beginning the final push of the upcoming election; elections that involve every level of our state government. I’ve seen, with a great deal of pleasure, a handout of accomplishments of this administration and the Senate that looks like this. These are the things that have been done here for all the citizens of Michigan—men, women, and children.
Let me go back for a second to the women, since the Senator from the 23rd began her remarks with a criticism of ads that used wedding dresses. I think oftentimes in political life that grist for the mill, convenience for a political position, and advocacy get mixed up. Using a rather innocent ad to advance the cause of an opposing candidate is unfortunate. To that point, how really inappropriate those types of remarks are. If you only look back to the 2012 Obama election, the Lena Dunham ad compared and suggested women voting for the first time to losing their virginity. So, if we are going to be walking down the path of the demeaning innocence, we ought to remember what happened in 2012 in the presidential election.
