Rev. David Coleman, Pastor of Countryside Free Methodist Church in Sandusky, offered the following invocation:

“Dear Heavenly Father,

Your Holy Word guides us in saying,

‘Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let Your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard Your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.’

Phil 4:6-7

Lord, with that promise from You we pray over the business of this day.

We pray for our state of Michigan. You have given us this great state as a blessing to us and too many. We humbly ask You would give us grace to be constantly mindful of Your favor and eager to seek to do Your will.

Together we pray for Your leading and protection over our all who serve in public office. We pray for government workers and educators. For those laboring in the marketplace and those who lead the businesses and corporations of our state.

We pray for our military and their families.

Give those here in authority wisdom in every decision, and help them to think clearly that there may be justice and peace in our state, our communities, our homes and lives. Grant them continued discernment so they’ll be strong and effective leaders, governing with integrity, and may their integrity lead them and guide them in the decisions of the day.

I pray for their families. As they experience the stress and demands of public office, Lord, be their defender and protector. Help their families to be strong and courageous, standing firm in their faith in the face of the challenges they experience.

In the business and agenda of this day, direct their steps according to Your Word and give them Godly wisdom and grace to govern according to Your will.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. McBroom, Aaron Miller, Kesto, Kelly, Canfield, Victory, Lucido, Vaupel, Heise, Kivela, Somerville, Barrett, Tedder, Irwin, Clemente, Pagan, Brunner, Smiley, Hoadley, Chatfield, Crawford, Driskell, Hooker, Hovey-Wright, Howrylak, Maturen and Poleski offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 102.

A resolution to commemorate the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta.

Whereas, Magna Carta, also known as the Great Charter, established the modern concept of the rule of law on which all great nations stand; and

Whereas, Magna Carta was originally sealed by King John of England on June 15, 1215, at the demand of freemen who sought recognition of their fundamental rights and limitation of the arbitrary use of power; and

Whereas, Magna Carta has guided the people of the United Kingdom towards a freer and more just society for eight centuries; and

Whereas, Magna Carta inspired colonial revolutionaries in the New World to resist oppressive rule and to adopt the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776; and

Whereas, Magna Carta has given rise to the freedoms enjoyed by all Americans today; and

Whereas, Article 39 of Magna Carta reads, “No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land”; and

Whereas, The legal principles of Magna Carta are purposely reflected in both the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 17 of the Michigan Constitution, which read, “No person shall . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”; and

Whereas, The laws and Constitution of the state of Michigan exemplify the continued influence of Magna Carta; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta. We honor the Great Charter as a vital symbol of liberty, self-determination, and the rule of law.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

I understand the intent of the bill and generally agree with the goal of minimizing risk to lenders relating to the debt of Michigan governmental borrowers.

However, I believe an unintended outcome of this bill is to elevate one class of debt, and to subordinate all others, in the event of a municipal bankruptcy. I agree with Treasury’s trepidation of such an outcome, and respectfully decline to support the bill.

Thank you for this opportunity to explain my vote.”

I voted NO on the Republican roads package today. Our state needs a funding solution that is reliable, balanced, and comprehensive, this is not it. This plan does not raise the sufficient amount of money needed to fully rebuild our roads in a timely manner and it relies on future revenue growth that may or may not materialize. We must put an end to the singling out of the state’s low-income residents to continuously foot the bill and come up with an all-inclusive strategy that collects from everyone who benefits from our transportation infrastructure.”
