Evangelist Rurshell Anthony, Missionary of Lansing Church of God in Christ in Lansing, offered the following invocation:

 

“Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus.

We humbly pray on this day, February 18, 2020, that You would give each leader wisdom, knowledge and discretion as bills are introduced and laws are passed. We pray that the laws that govern this state will be in the best interest of the people.

II Timothy 2:1-3 states ‘I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savour.’

We are grateful for the leaders that represent the people of the state of Michigan. We pray blessings upon them.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.”

Rep. Hood, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

While I support the idea of providing more options for individuals in developing their retirement plans to help them mitigate their risk, House Bills 4274-5 in their current form are not the answer. In moving away from pensions, the State has put increased risk on its employees. It is, therefore, our responsibility to ensure the options we are providing to our retirees to mitigate this risk is not reckless. While HB 4274-5 would provide a new annuity option to state employees/teachers, which can help them mitigate their risk, it does not require a high enough financial rating of a company providing the annuity to ensure it will be able to endure an economic downturn. Until this issue is resolved, I cannot support a bill that has significant potential to leave retirees in financial dire straits because their state-approved annuity provider company failed. I support giving workers more options in their retirement plans but ultimately want to make sure they are safe options.”
