Pastor Greg Bullen, Asst. Pastor of Calvary Bible Church in Lapeer, offered the following invocation:
“Dear Lord: We stand before You today, humbled by Your wonderful blessings and the provision You make for us day by day. We thank You that You have allowed us to live in this great country and to work and play and raise our families in the beautiful state of Michigan.
I ask Your continued blessing and guidance to the men and women here in the Michigan House of Representatives. We know that leading our state, serving our families, and seeking the very best in legislation can be challenging, and we pray for the strength and wisdom they need to best serve our economy, our towns and cities, and our farms as well. We do know that without You, we can do nothing.
As we build on the past and seek solutions to present needs, may You grant each individual a vision for a bright and hopeful future. I pray that You would bless this session and that these men and women would follow the Golden Rule and serve together with mutual respect for the common good, no matter their background and political beliefs.
In Your name we pray, Amen.”

A resolution to declare March 20, 2017, as Snowplow Driver Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Removing snow and ice during the winter months from hundreds of thousands of miles of streets and highways in Michigan is a monumental job; and
Whereas, Michigan depends upon thousands of snowplow drivers who work long hours under severe weather conditions to ensure that the rest of us can travel to work, school, and other destinations; and
Whereas, Throughout Michigan’s enduring winter season, snowplow drivers use their years of knowledge and skill in a determined effort to make roadways safer for all motorists as well as maintain the movement of goods and services to support our state’s businesses and commerce; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 20, 2017, as Snowplow Driver Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan. We ask that all residents of Michigan join in showing appreciation for the hard work and valuable service performed by snowplow drivers.
