Pastor Scott Nyp, Pastor of Corinth Reform Church in Byron Center, offered the following invocation:
“Almighty God, Whose renown endures through all generations. We approach Your throne of grace today as a people in need. We stand in need of Your guidance, Your protection, and Your divine providence; both in our lives, and in the lives of those we serve in the state of Michigan.
You have given us this glorious land as a blessing and trust, and we humbly ask You to keep us mindful of Your favor and glad to do Your will. Bless our land with compassionate community, selfless service, and loving kindness towards neighbor. Save us from violence, discord and a lack of understanding, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our freedoms and liberties even as You shape us, a beautiful tapestry of cultures and tongues, into one unified people. Grant the spirit of wisdom to those whom, in Your name, we entrust to represent us in authority of government, that there might be peace and justice here in our land, and that through obedience to Your law, we might be a bright shining light amongst the nations of the world. In our time of blessing and prosperity, fill us with thanksgiving, and in the day of trial and tribulation, remind us to put our trust and confidence in You alone.
God of grace and mercy, we welcome and invite the presence of Your spirit to guide and bless the proceedings that follow. Show Your divine favor towards not only those gathered here today, but also to those most dear to them. In all things Lord, not our will, but Your will be done.
O God, Who is able to keep us from stumbling, and to present us before Your glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 363.
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Jan C. Dolan, former member of the House of Representatives.
Whereas, It was with sorrow that the members of this legislative body learned of the passing of former Representative Jan Dolan, who served the city of Farmington Hills and nearby areas. She was passionate about public service, skilled as a legislator, and strongly committed to serving the community. She will be remembered for her significant and lasting contributions to this body and the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Jan Dolan was born in Akron, Ohio, and earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Akron, though she eventually found her way to Farmington Hills. She worked as a dietitian and educator, and she owned and operated an adult day care center. In Farmington Hills, she was a community leader and went on to serve as a city council member and as mayor for two terms; and
Whereas, Jan Dolan served in the Legislature for eight years beginning in 1989. She was known and respected by her colleagues as a sharp, diplomatic, and compassionate legislator. Among other issues, she was committed to ensuring quality education for children and affordable care options for the elderly. Making sure taxpayer dollars were spent wisely was another goal she pursued as a member of the Appropriations Committee and several appropriations subcommittees, including the General Government, Judiciary, Mental Health, and Public Health subcommittees. She also served on the Conservation, Consumers, Liquor Control, Oversight, and Recreation and Environment committees. Representative Dolan was also a leader in this chamber. She chaired the Mental Health Subcommittee on Appropriations and took on the role of Associate Speaker Pro Tempore; and
Whereas, Aside from her career and public service achievements, Jan Dolan was active in a myriad of civic and community organizations and efforts. The Botsford Hospital, the Farmington YMCA, the Farmington/Farmington Hills Foundation for Youth and Families, the Michigan Campaign Finance Network, the Oakland Community College Foundation, and the League of Women Voters are just some of the many groups and causes that benefited from her time and talents. Moreover, she was always willing to help others and mentored other women leaders in our state. Recognizing her sizeable contributions, the city of Farmington Hills awarded her the 2016 Nancy Bates Distinguished Public Servant Award; and
Whereas, While a tireless worker, Jan Dolan also found time for personal interests. She enjoyed arranging flowers, gardening, and other outdoor activities. She was active throughout her life and even completed her first tandem skydiving jump at the age of 85; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Jan C. Dolan, a member of this legislative body from 1989 to 1996; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Dolan family as evidence of our lasting esteem for her memory.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 364.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Charles M. Brunner.
Whereas, It is with great respect and appreciation that the members of this body acknowledge Representative Charles Brunner. He is a faithful public servant who has been a benefit to the Legislature, the Ninety-sixth District, and all of the good people of this state; and
Whereas, Charles Brunner focused his collegiate studies on education and business at Delta College and Central Michigan University, attaining an associate’s degree, a bachelor’s degree, and two master’s degrees. Well-educated and passionate about education, he trained young minds as a high school business teacher for 30 years. Before coming to the Legislature, he served locally as a commissioner and then mayor of Bay City. He contributed much to the Bay City community, establishing a city clean-up program and an adopt-a-park program. In addition, he worked to boost the local automotive and manufacturing economy, among other initiatives; and
Whereas, Elected for the first time in 2010 and subsequently in 2012 and 2014, Representative Brunner established himself as a dedicated legislator who strived to produce good, thoughtful public policy. He was a member of the committees on Energy Policy, Energy and Technology, Tourism, and Local Government. Additionally, he served as minority vice chair on the Agriculture Committee throughout his tenure in the Legislature. During his time in this body, he has also been active in other policy areas, such as education and the environment, with an aim on improving the state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we praise the Honorable Charles M. Brunner for working to better this state and serve its residents in his capacity as a legislator; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Brunner as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes for his future endeavors.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 365.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Jon Bumstead.
Whereas, The members of this legislative body are proud to offer this expression of our gratitude to Representative Jon Bumstead as he brings to a close his tenure of service and accomplishment in the Michigan House of Representatives. For the last six years, he has worked hard to represent the residents of Lake, Newaygo, and Oceana counties and the rest of the state; and
Whereas, A graduate of Newaygo High School, Jon Bumstead started his own business over 30 years ago, building and remodeling homes as well as other construction projects. An active member of his community, he is a charter member of the Newaygo Jaycees, a volunteer firefighter, and has served as a member of the Newaygo County Building Review Board and the Brooks Township Planning Commission. In 2010, he was first elected to further serve his community and the rest of the One-hundredth District as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives; and
Whereas, Representative Bumstead, as a member of the Appropriations Committee, has been a leader in ensuring responsible state spending and the wise investment of taxpayer dollars. During his six years as a member of the committee, he has served on a number of subcommittees, including chair of the Natural Resources Subcommittee, and he rose to vice chair of the full committee in his last term of office. An avid hunter, he has also championed policies to increase outdoor recreational opportunities for all Michigan residents and to ensure sound wildlife management; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Jon Bumstead for his notable contributions to this legislative body and to our entire state; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Bumstead as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 366.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Mike Callton.
Whereas, We take this opportunity to honor Mike Callton as he brings to a close an exemplary tenure of service to the people of Michigan as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives. Representative Callton has exhibited strong leadership within the Legislature and unwavering dedication to his constituents in the Eighty-seventh District; and
Whereas, Elected to the House in 2010, Representative Callton entered public service with a wealth of experience in health care issues coupled with business acumen. As a chiropractor and owner of a chiropractic facility, he garnered expertise that has been invaluable in his legislative service as chair of the Committee on Health Policy and as a member of the Commerce and Trade Committee. He has also served on the Education and Financial Services committees; and
Whereas, Representative Callton sponsored legislation in a broad range of areas to address matters of concern to the citizens of Michigan. Notably, he sponsored and provided leadership in enacting legislation to simplify and bring clarity to Michigan’s medical marihuana law; and
Whereas, Over the course of his legislative career, Representative Callton has exhibited dedicated service in the Legislature as evidenced by the accolades that he has received for posting perfect voting records for three straight years. Moreover, as the first chiropractor elected to the House, he also earned distinction as Chiropractor of the Year in 2013 by the Michigan Association of Chiropractors; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Mike Callton for his notable contributions to this legislative body and to our entire state; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Callton as evidence of our respect and appreciation.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 367.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable George T. Darany.
Whereas, Since his election to the House of Representatives in 2010, Representative George Darany has served the institution and the constituents of the Fifteenth District with distinction. As his term comes to a close, we take this opportunity to extend to him our gratitude; and
Whereas, George Darany came to the Legislature with valuable public service experience as well as a strong business background. He served for three years as a member of the Dearborn City Council; for twenty years, owned and operated the Classic Trolley Company; and worked as a realtor. Moreover, he served in the community as a supporter of Dearborn public schools and on the Board of the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce, the Inter-Service Club Council, and the Dearborn Rotary Club; and
Whereas, As a member of the House, Representative Darany was minority vice chair of the Health Policy Committee and served on the Agriculture and Regulatory Reform committees. He has worked in partnership with his fellow legislators to pursue legislation to improve the lives of Michigan citizens, as exemplified by the package of bills to provide a foster kids’ bill of rights; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express our gratitude to Representative George Darany for his years of service to the House of Representatives; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Representative George Darany as an expression of our appreciation.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Love, Chang, Brinks, Guerra, Wittenberg, Banks, Greig, Moss, Kelly, Santana, Talabi, Garrett, Byrd, Gay-Dagnogo, Robinson, Kosowski, Cochran, Crawford, Driskell, Geiss, Howrylak and LaVoy offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 368.
A resolution to declare December 2016 as Heidelberg Project Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, For 30 years, Heidelberg Project Founder Tyree Guyton has changed the urban landscape where he grew up on Detroit’s East Side from a decaying neighborhood wearing the scars of one of the worst race riots in U.S. history to one of the most recognizable living art displays in the world. With the hope of helping erase the wounds created by poverty, drug abuse and violence, Guyton took a simple concept of wanting to improve his neighborhood and turned it into an international art environment; and
Whereas, Armed with broom and paintbrushes, Guyton enlisted the help of some neighborhood kids and began cleaning up vacant lots. With the discarded refuse they found, they began decorating the vacant lots, introducing Found Object Art to Detroit. Thus, in 1986, with his grandfather and mentor Sam “Grandpa” Mackey, the Heidelberg Project was born; and
Whereas, The colorful but massive art project incorporated not just vacant lots and abandoned homes into the project. Guyton incorporated the street, sidewalks and trees into his mammoth art installation. Vacant lots literally became “lots of art” and abandoned houses became “gigantic art sculptures”; and
Whereas, The accolades began rolling in for Guyton, but he never lost sight of the goal of his non-profit: improving the lives of people and neighborhoods through art. Guyton has been featured in Newsweek and People Magazines and appeared on numerous TV shows. He has had his own one man show at the Detroit Institute of Arts and he has won numerous awards, such as the Spirit of Detroit Award, the Governor’s Artist of the Year Award, and the Wayne County International Artist Award, and he is the recipient of two honorary doctorates; and
Whereas, Detroit has made a steady recovery with many people visiting Detroit to take in the city’s many cultural, sports, and entertainment venues. The Heidelberg Project is one of those attractions, drawing the third most visited cultural tourist site in Detroit with more than 275,000 visitors from all over the world making the trip to the Heidelberg Project annually; and
Whereas, Any successful endeavor must change with the times to be relevant, so is the Heidelberg Project. As it embarks on the next 30 years, the future is Heidelberg 3.0 that will focus on an “arts-infused community” rather than an installation driven by just one man; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of legislative body declare December 2016 as Heidelberg Project Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Love moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute For House Resolution No. 368.
A resolution to declare December 2016 as Heidelberg Project Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Detroit has made a steady recovery with many people visiting Detroit to take in the city’s many cultural, sports, and entertainment venues. The Heidelberg Project is one of those attractions. In 1998, the Heidelberg Project was determined to be the third most visited cultural tourist site in Detroit with more than 275,000 visitors from all over the world making the trip to the Heidelberg Project; and
Whereas, Any successful endeavor must change with the times to be relevant, so is the Heidelberg Project. As it embarks on the next 30 years, the future is Heidelberg 3.0 that will focus on an “arts-infused community” rather than an installation driven by just one man; now, therefore, be it

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Comments and Recommendations
Rep. Nesbitt moved that the following remarks be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Rep. Brunner:
“Thinking over my time on the House Floor I am reminded of a quote by the great American satirist Will Rogers. ‘Congress is so strange; a man gets up to speak and says nothing, nobody listens, and then everybody disagrees.’ Of course he meant Washington not Lansing.
Thank you Mr. Speaker for indulging me. I’ll be brief, though the next five minutes might constitute the longest floor speech I’ll have given in six years. I haven’t given many speeches in my time as a legislator, not because I don’t like to hear myself talk (I am a politician after all) but since it is my last opportunity I’m going to make the most of it.
I would also like to thank my dear friend and priest Father Bob Deland and a special thanks to Mike and Sandy Buda who have been with me for my fifteen years in politics.
I would like to begin by first thanking my lovely wife Judy for putting up with me through my 15 years in public service beginning as a city commissioner, Mayor, and now after the fastest six years I’ve ever experienced, as a State Rep.! She has been patient (mostly) and understanding (usually) of the demands of the job and has been my biggest supporter since I decided to run for public office 15 years ago.
Next I would like to thank the residents of the 96th District who have placed their faith in me and have had the willingness to send me here three times. It has been my great honor to serve them in Lansing. To my constituents: Please know that we did our best to help you out and even though I will no longer be your State Rep., I will still advocate on your behalf.
Many of you know that I taught high school for 30 years and was very involved in local politics during that time. Occasionally, however, an administrative position within the school district would open up and my colleagues would say ‘Hey Charlie, you should interview for that position.’ I always told them ‘No, there’s too much politics in school administration.’ So instead I became a politician… That’s what I get for trying to keep my job and politics separate…
I would not have been able to do this job with any kind of effectiveness were it not for the people who guided and mentored me in my first term. I owe a great debt of gratitude to our former Minority Leader Rick Hammel and Floor Leader Kate Segal. They both helped me find my feet in Lansing and were invaluable resources. It has also been a pleasure serving with Tim Greimel, David Rutledge, and Sam Singh whose leadership through the past four years has been greatly appreciated. I’d like to offer a special thanks to another mentor of mine in Lansing, Senator Jim Stamas. Jim has always been a true supporter of the Great Lakes Bay Region and I learned so much from working with him. Though we did not always see eye to eye on every issue, I believe we developed a great working relationship and never let those disagreements impact our friendship. I am honored to call him a friend and wish that more of my colleagues would emulate his willingness to be respectfully disagreeable but also open to other ideas and willing to work with the other side of the aisle to seek accommodation and compromise. In the age of term limits, developing these relationships is increasingly difficult but it is necessary. Though there are many problems created by term limits including short-sightedness, polarization, and inexperience, I am thankful that they have afforded me the ability to serve. With that opportunity comes a responsibility that is more important than ever to be a public servant and seek to work with colleagues that they may have differing policy positions and ideology. We must work to understand each other or we will fail to serve the people who sent us here to represent them.
Earlier I said that I seldom addressed the House as a whole despite sometimes having strong feelings either supporting or opposing legislation we have considered. That’s the tough part of being a moderate – you’re so used to trying to bridge the divide sometimes you get stuck in the crevasse. That’s not to say that I don’t have core convictions and anyone who knows me will know I believe we have truly failed to make education our highest priority in this state. And I will keep demanding that we take our education system seriously and provide the necessary investment into our children’s future.
I would be remiss if I failed to thank the people who make doing our job possible. My heartfelt thanks goes to the House and Capitol Building facility staff whose hard work keeps these beautiful buildings open. To the Democratic Policy Staff, House Fiscal Agency, and House legislative analysts without whom I would be completely confused. Gary Randall and Rich Brown deserve a special thanks for all of their hard work to keep this legislative body running. To the committee clerks, journal clerks, enrolling clerks, and everyone else who make this job possible please accept my sincere thanks.
I would also like to extend a thank you to the lobby corps – yes you folks standing out in the hall. You have all done an admirable job of representing the interests and concerns of your clients. I have relied on your expertise to inform me of the impact on legislation while maintaining an independence of thought on the legislation. Without your efforts to serve as a voice for your clients it would be easy to overlook potential impacts of legislation. Lobbyists are a tool – useful when used correctly, dangerous when misused – and I am thankful to have been able to wisely access your experience and wealth of information.
It’s difficult serving in the minority – something I wish some of my colleagues would have a better appreciation for – though I’ve done my best to work with everyone regardless of party. I was able to get a couple of pieces of legislation through this legislature such as a bill to update Michigan’s agricultural weights and measures standards and legislation to allow parole officers’ access to LIEN in order to better supervise their parolees. It is true, I don’t have a long list of public acts to my name, however, I believe I was able to have an impact on policy in committee. I served six years on Agriculture under two Chairs, Rep. Daley and Rep. Lauwers, who always valued my input. My proudest moment as a legislator was voting in favor of the MAEAP legislation. Ensuring environmental stewardship through voluntary agricultural best practices benefits farmers and the general public. In addition, I had the good fortune of serving on Energy all three terms under the chairmanship of both Sen. Ken Horn and Rep. Aric Nesbitt.
Left unfinished are bills to add licensed day care facilities to restricted areas for sex offenders and preventing infant death at day care operations through proper monitoring. I had hoped to see parole board files be made more accessible to victims, expanded access to opioid addiction treatment, and bills to make charter schools more transparent. For those things left undone, I call upon the 99th Legislature to take up the things we have been unable to finish and move forward for this great state.
In addition, I must thank my staff who manned the office of the 96th District and helped me serve my constituents for six years. To Kyle Bostwick, Courtney Goddard, Justin Alexander, and Ian Mays: thank you for making my service possible and giving me good counsel even when I didn’t listen.
Finally I have to give a big shout out to my seatmate of 6 years, Charles Smiley. Charles and I didn’t always agree, as a matter of fact we often disagreed on policy, but we never lost respect for each other and you always knew you could find us in the Charlie corner on the Floor.
To my fellow term limited colleagues if you find yourself in Melbourne Florida in January, February, or March stop by my place – I’d invite the rest of you but you’ll all be in session. I’ll think fondly of you when it’s 75 and sunny with a nice breeze on my patio with a refreshing drink.
Let me close by once again offering my thanks for the wonderful opportunity to serve the people of the State of Michigan. God bless the United States. God bless the Great State of Michigan, and God bless all of you.”
By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
