Pastor Dr. Louis Forsythe II, Pastor of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Detroit, offered the following invocation:

“O LORD GOD the Creator and Sustainer of all human life. The One who gives humankind grace and mercy through Your sustaining Love. We Bless You and Honor You and recognize You for Your care over our lives.

We thank You O GOD for this blessed day. A day filled with promise and possibilities and a day with great opportunities to make a difference in the world. For this is the day, that You have made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it.

We pray O GOD, as the women and men of the state of Michigan come together in this chamber of government, we ask that the Spirit of Your Presence be felt and that You will give those who represent the people of this great state, wisdom and understanding as they seek to do what is good and just for the people in Michigan.

We thank You O GOD for the privilege to serve others; for it is an honor and a blessing that comes from You. May we honor You with integrity, sincerity and compassion in our public service for the good of all people.

Finally O LORD GOD we surrender this day unto You; and we ask that You bless each us with Your Grace, sustain us with Your Power and keep us [forever] by Your Spirit of Love and Peace today and always.

It is in Your Holy and Righteousness Name, O LORD Our GOD we Pray.

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Maturen, Driskell, Kelly, LaVoy, Lucido, Nesbitt, Poleski, Singh and Webber offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 26.

A resolution to declare March 4, 2015, as Realtors Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The Real Estate Association of Michigan was established on March 4, 1915; and

Whereas, Nearly 25,000 Michigan real estate broker and salesperson and appraiser licensees are currently members of that same, voluntary association, now known as the Michigan Realtors; and

Whereas, The Michigan Realtors is the recognized leading advocate for public policy and legal issues pertaining to the real estate industry supporting the great American foundation and tradition of private property ownership; and

Whereas, The Michigan Realtors is the premier statewide resource for industry collaboration of professional development, knowledge exchange, and business services; and

Whereas, The Michigan Realtors is affiliated with the National Association of Realtors and 42 local realtor associations across Michigan that continue to positively affect local communities, our state, and the nation through its strength in volunteer leadership; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 4, 2015, as Realtors Day in the state of Michigan. We acknowledge the membership of the Michigan Realtors on the 100th anniversary of their founding.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Cochran, Singh, Schor, Barrett and Leonard offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 27.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to halt the closure of the U.S. Postal Service’s Processing and Distribution Center in Lansing, Michigan, until postal reform legislation is addressed.

Whereas, The U.S. Postal Service intends to close the Processing and Distribution Center in Lansing, Michigan, this February. The closure is part of an ambitious strategy to close numerous facilities across the country as a major cost-savings measure; and

Whereas, Closing the Lansing Processing and Distribution Center appears counterintuitive to the goal of providing high quality, efficient, and competitive postal services. The Lansing facility is a major mail processing hub located in the middle of the state. Consolidation of the tasks carried out here and relocation elsewhere will only degrade the responsiveness of the Postal Service. This will likely hamper its efforts to fend off competitive delivery systems. It is estimated that closing the Lansing facility, which handles 3 to 5 million pieces of mail each day, including one-half million first class items, would result in delays in delivery of up to three days rather than overnight; and

Whereas, Many people, including local leaders, feel the determination to consolidate services and close the Lansing Processing and Distribution Center was made without a thorough, transparent, and comprehensive comparison of the sites in question. The Lansing facility offers major advantages over other sites with its proximity to the intersection of major highways near the center of the state’s population and access to adjacent land for future expansion. In addition, the facility to which area services will be relocated resides on leased property rather than government-owned property, like the property on which the Lansing facility resides; and

Whereas, The closure will unnecessarily hurt the Lansing area. In addition to the negative consequences of losing more than 200 facility jobs, slower postal services resulting from the Lansing closure could potentially harm area businesses, reducing efficiencies and productivity, and potentially leading some businesses to relocate to better service areas; and

Whereas, As Congress continues to debate extensive national reforms to update the U.S. Postal Service’s network and business model, it makes little sense to move forward with this questionable closure. Once Congress has made a final decision on postal reforms, the U.S. Postal Service should reconsider this closure in the context of those broader reforms and the long-term interest of the Postal Service and the community; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to halt the closure of the U.S. Postal Service’s Processing and Distribution Center in Lansing, Michigan, until postal reform legislation is addressed; 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.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
