Senator Richardville offered the following resolution:

            Senate Resolution No. 202.

            A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Glenn S. Anderson.

            Whereas, The members of this legislative body are proud to commend and thank our colleague, Glenn Anderson, for his eight years of service representing the Sixth District. His tenure as a public servant began with nine years on the Westland City Council, continued with three terms in the Michigan House of Representatives, and, as his years in the Senate draw to a close, his efforts and high standards are to be lauded; and

            Whereas, Senator Anderson has served with distinction on the Appropriations Committee during each of his Senate terms, two as minority vice chair. He also sat as vice chair on several Appropriations subcommittees, including Community Colleges, Department of Corrections, Transportation, and General Government. His vision, experience, and leadership have been valuable assets as he worked to make government fiscally responsible and ensure the continuation of vital services while maintaining a balanced budget; and

            Whereas, Senator Anderson is committed to building strong communities which are essential to a stronger Michigan. Over the years, he has been active in community service organizations including the Jaycees, Goodfellows, Rotary Club, Civitans, Kiwanis, Rouge River Rescue, Churchill High PTA, and the Western Wayne NAACP. In recognition of his dedication to the work of the people, his honors have included Legislator of the Year awards from the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, the Police Officers Association of Michigan, and the Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the Senate, That we honor Senator Glenn S. Anderson as he concludes his service to the Michigan Senate; and be it further

            Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Senator Anderson as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
