Senator Kenneth B. Horn of the 32nd District offered the following invocation:

Today’s Christmas invocation was offered to the United States Senate by Chaplain Peter Marshall 68 years ago in December 1947:

“We thank Thee, O God, for the return of the wondrous spell of this Christmas season that brings its own sweet joy into our jaded and troubled hearts.

Forbid it, Lord, that we should celebrate without understanding what we celebrate, or, like our counterparts so long ago, fail to see the star or to hear the song of glorious promise.

As our hearts yield to the spirit of Christmas, may we discover that it is Thy Holy Spirit who comes—not as a sentiment, but a power—to remind us of the only way by which there may be peace on the earth and good will among men.

May we not spend Christmas, but keep it, that we may be kept in its hope, through Him who emptied Himself in coming to us that we might be filled with peace and joy in returning to God. Amen.”

The President, Lieutenant Governor Calley, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Senate Resolution No. 124.

A resolution to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the federal recognition of the tribal government of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi.

(This resolution was offered on December 10, rules suspended and consideration postponed. See Senate Journal No. 109, p. 1983).

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Senators Bieda, Hansen, Shirkey and Warren were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senator Nofs asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Nofs’ statement is as follows:

Please join me in welcoming Homer Mandoka, the Tribal Council chairman of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi. This year marks the 20th anniversary of their federal recognition, when the tribe was reaffirmed as a sovereign nation. I would like to especially acknowledge the leadership of Chairman Mandoka, Vice Chair Jamie Stuck, Christine Lanning, Dorie Rios, Tony Day, and tribal leaders past and present who are up in the east Gallery. I am confident that the tribe will maintain their longstanding reputation of strong leadership for years to come.

The Potawatomi derive their name from Bodéwadmi, which references their role as “keepers of the council fire,” and is a direct link to their enduring roots in Michigan’s history. The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi provide leadership for tribal members and have served as a model to other Native Americans in areas of self-government, self-reliance, and self-empowerment.

I would like to acknowledge the tribe’s commitment to their community, both in Calhoun County and statewide. Mr. Chairman, I remember when I was the chairman of the County Board of Commissioners some 20 years ago, so we do go way back. It’s nice to see you again; glad to be here today with you.

Colleagues, please join me in giving a round of applause to the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi as they celebrate their 20th anniversary.

By unanimous consent the Senate returned to the order of

Resolutions

Senators Colbeck, Shirkey, Knollenberg, Robertson, Jones, Pavlov, Green, Zorn and Booher offered the following concurrent resolution:

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 22.

A concurrent resolution to urge Governor Snyder to maintain his current position on the relocation of Syrian refugees into the state of Michigan until the Legislature affirms by resolution their resettlement, to prioritize the safety and wellbeing of Michiganders, and to continue to pursue policies that ensure the security of this state.

Whereas, The President of the United States, under the Refugee Act of 1980, has issued an executive order increasing the intake of refugees from Syria to 10,000 for fiscal year 2015-2016. These individuals have been subject to an intense civil war pitting government, opposition, and terrorist forces against one another and are fleeing Syria. The program seeks to resettle Syrians in communities across the United States; and

Whereas, Terrorists loyal to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham in Syria—commonly known as ISIS—have recently expanded their campaign from the war-torn streets of Syria to all nations. In these past few months alone, ISIS has claimed responsibility for downing a Russian-bound commercial flight, killing hundreds, and Abdelhamid Abaaoud, an ISIS member, masterminded the coordinated attacks in Paris that killed 129 people and injured more than 350 others. Weeks later in San Bernardino, California, two radicalized terrorists, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 people and injured another 21 people. These acts have been committed by radicalized citizens and individuals using the visa system; and

Whereas, By increasing the intake of refugees, the President has given individuals who have adopted the teachings and ideology of ISIS a clear legal path into the United States. The FBI Director, James Comey, admits that “there are certain gaps… in the information available to us” when speaking about the process by which refugees are screened to prevent the resettlement of individuals with ties to ISIS. Other visa programs as well as illegal immigration have the potential to aid ISIS too, including student visas, work visas, and the visa waiver program. This was the case with one of the San Bernardino terrorists, Tashfeen Malik; and

Whereas, As the frequency and severity of ISIS attacks increase, measures are needed to protect the citizens of Michigan and the United States. Governor Snyder was correct in suspending the Syrian resettlement program in Michigan in the wake of ISIS’s attacks on Paris. To date, Michigan has been one of the top destinations for Syrian refugees in the United States, creating an increased demand on our state’s social service programs and our budget. Most importantly, allowing individuals sympathetic to ISIS places at risk the security and wellbeing of Michiganders and all Americans. Suspending this program has made our state more secure and efforts must continue to be made to ensure our security; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we urge Governor Snyder to maintain his current position on the relocation of Syrian refugees into the state of Michigan until the Legislature affirms by resolution their resettlement; and be it further

Resolved, That we urge the Governor to prioritize the safety and wellbeing of Michiganders even if it requires the forfeiture of federal funding for public services and to continue to pursue policies that protect this state from visa holders and illegal immigrants who wish us harm; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Michigan.

Pursuant to rule 3.204, the concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Recess

Senator Kowall moved that the Senate recess subject to the call of the Chair.

Protest

Senator Colbeck, under his constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against concurring in the House substitutes for Senate Bill Nos. 616 and 617 and moved that the statement he made during the discussion of Senate Bill No. 616 be printed as his reasons for voting “no.”

The motion prevailed.

Senator Colbeck’s statement is as follows:

When we voted on these bills the first time in the Senate, I was in the middle of surgery and unable to vote on them. When I got out from under the anesthesia, I was disappointed to find out that we had decided to pursue this policy.

This year was a pretty big year. We finally put an end to picking winners and losers via the film credits, only to find out we have picked a new industry to go off and provide favored-nation status to, and that’s the data centers. I am all for getting data centers into our state. I would love to have more here, but going off and providing special tax exemptions for them is not the way to do it.

One nice thing about data centers is they have one area in their expense line that is one of the highest expenses they have as a business, which is around electricity. You need to power up the servers and keep them cool. I used to offer software as a service in private industry, and I have had my tours of data centers. If you can find a way to actually lower the expense of that electricity, you have found a way to provide them with the lower cost of doing business in this state, and you can do it without having a pick-winners-and-losers tax strategy.

That is the path we should be pursuing to lower the cost of doing business in our state, not by providing a special tax exemption, so I urge my colleagues to vote “no.”
