Rep.
Michael Webber, from the 45th District, offered the following invocation:
“Dear
Lord,
Praise
You for this and every day that we get to wake up on this side of heaven. Each
day is filled with purpose, and we ask for Your wisdom and guidance through
everyone. Help us to live each day well, and for Your glory, from start to
finish.
Thank
You for Your Word, which breathes life into our souls and minds. You promise to
meet us there, in study and prayer.
Give
us the wisdom to seek You first each day, before each decision. Enlighten us
and guide us through Your Word.
Please
guide our state and nation through this difficult time as we combat the
COVID-19 pandemic. We know that You work all things for good, but in those
moments of pain and suffering, it can be impossible to understand Your perfect
and just hand in it all.
Please
give our leaders the wisdom needed to help our residents through this
challenging time.
In
Jesus Name, Amen.”

The Speaker called Associate Speaker Pro
Tempore Hornberger to the Chair.
“Thank
you Mr. Speaker.
The
first rule of speech-making is Do Not Use Names. Well, I am going to be
breaking that rule very often.
First,
let me start OUT WITH THANKING SOME OF MY SEAT MATES FOR MAKING THE PAST 6 YEARS,
one of the greatest experiences of my life. Each and every day I am truly
amazed at all the hard work that each one of you did on behalf of your
constituents. It was something to marvel at.
I would
also like to thank the voters of the 22nd District, Roseville and Warren, for
giving me an opportunity to serve you for the past six years.
I
could not imagine I would actually be here. It surely didn’t hit me when the
election results came back in November 2014. It hit me on when I first got to
the Capitol and sat in my office for the first time, realizing the massive
responsibilities that laid on my shoulders. I had some big shoes to fill,
taking over from my predecessor, Harold Haugh, in representing the 22nd House
District.
I didn’t
know what to expect up here in the Capitol. I came from being the Mayor of the
sixth largest city in Macomb County but I never realized until I got up here
that my district was even bigger than some entire out of state counties in
Michigan.
I knew
I was a big fish in a little pond in Roseville, but when I got here, I was just
another fish in a way bigger pond called the State Capitol. So being the True
Detective that I am, I just observed for the first 6 months before I started
moving outside my lane. I like to think I did some good things up here and made
some life-long friendships along the way.
To my
past seatmates, thank you for the memories we had. During my first session, I
sat next to Robert Wittenberg and Frankie ‘the Animal’ Liberati. Frank had
the dubious distinction of being the first person I met at on one of
orientation meetings. As much as I wanted to do over the past six years, I
never made it to the deli. But now in January, I will have plenty of time. I am
looking forward to some of those want world famous cookies and pizza but I want
the family and friends discount unlike term limited former state representative
from Westland whom he charged full price.
During
my second session, I sat with Ms. Harvey Santana and Representative Rosemary
Robinson. I fondly remember Rosemary Robinson. I have known Rosemary since 1976
when she was a Wayne County Commissioner and I was a snot nose rookie in the
Wayne County Sheriff’s Department. We had some epic debates over the years at
the county level and even on the chamber. But with Rosemary, you always knew
she was sticking to her convictions.
Sylvia
was very nice, calm and collected and not nearly as outspoken as her husband,
who was the chair and only member of the Harvey Santana Caucus during my first
term. Now Chairman Harvey Santana is at the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department.
The world has gone full circle, I hope he now understands where I was coming
from on some of the criminal justice stuff.
My
third term, I got to sit next to John Cherry Jr. I knew his father so I tried
to take care of him. Before COVID-19 took away what was supposed to be a
glorious last year of my final term, I got to know John and will forever be
appreciative of his attempts to help me navigate the House session page during
a crucial vote.
Santa
delivered me some great committee assignments. They say committees are where
most of the work done and I know this first hand. My first term, I served on
Reg Reform with Chairman Franz and Minority Vice Chair Scott Dianda. I also
served on Comm and Tech with Brad Jacobsen, and on Financial Liabilities with
Pat Sommerville.
During
my second term, I was thrown right into the fire being the minority vice chair
of Transportation with Chairman Cole. It was there I learned firsthand the
difficulty in finding a political viable way to fix the roads. Oversight was
interesting, where I served with Chairman Joe Graves and Minority Vice Chair
Kevin Hertel as we tackled the UIA Fraud Fiasco. Reg Reform was always
interesting with Chairman Iden Minority Vice Chair Jeremy Moss. There I learned
how to drink (Jamieson and orange juice) with Hugh and Kathy Crawford.
In
this job, you get to meet all sorts of people from all walks of life and
differing perspectives. Thank you to Scott Dianda and Sara Cambensy for showing
me how cool the Yooper landscape is truly God’s County and your hospitality to
us trolls when we visited. I will never be the same after going to the dog sled
races in Calumet and Marquette. And karaokeing at Flanagan’s Bar. I definitely
did lose years off my life. As they say, the Lake of Superior never gives up
her dead.
To
Sergeant Dickson and the Red Coats: no, that’s not a singing group from Motown
Records. Your dedication, professionalism and friendship is something truly to
be proud of. I can tell you that you and your team are very much appreciated by
everybody in this chamber and I thank you protecting our SIX.
Frank
Liberati and I had quite the experience serving on the committee to investigate
the actions of two former state representatives whose love debacle fiasco
brought great shame to this body. Once again Sgt Dickson and team did a
heck of a job. Thank you for what you do from all of us, protecting our six.
I
would be remiss not to thank several other individuals who I have served with
for the past six years.
To
Leader Tim Greimel: Tim you have been a great leader under the most adverse of
circumstances. Thank you for your wisdom and friendship.
To
Speaker Chatfield : Your leadership and the pure class you bring into this
chamber every day is something I admire. Speaker Cotter, I am still waiting but
not holding my breath for that reimbursement for the Mackinac Public Policy
Conference when you cancelled the House’s Participation in my second term.
To
Floor Leader Rutledge: David, I thank you for your dedication to this state and
county and the love of the veterans of this county.
To the
first Majority Floor Leader I served with, Aric Nesbitt, whom I always
respectfully called ‘Auric Goldfinger’. One thing I can say about the good
Senator is that when he gives you his word, there is no messing around or
waffling. He’s a credit to his side.
To our
Macomb delegation: Most of us knew each other before we even arrived in
Lansing. My advice: stay together whenever possible. We put
Macomb
back on the state map. I love it when I hear our other colleagues say ‘those
damn Macomb reps did it again’. Thanks to all of you. And to Derek Miller, I
always did my best to listen to what your father, the legend Art Miller told
me, ‘take care of my boy’ I will never forget the after-session hours with the
Dagwood caucus. If I never see another fried pickle again, I’ll be happy. Terry
Sabo, Frank Liberati, Sara Cambensy, Pat Green, Scott Dianda, Sam Singh,
Kevin Hertel, Nate Shannon, Zvonko, Will Synder, Curtis Audette, Kevin Colemen
,Tyrone Carter, Alex Garza, and Joe Tate thanks for the strategy sessions and
memories.
I
would also like to take the time out to honor the memories of our gone but
never forgotten colleagues: Pete Pettalia, John Kivela, Issac Robinson and
Julie Plawecki. May you rest in power. Before we became reps, I knew Julie’s
husband and the family for years. Julie Plawecki was truly one of the most
caring people I have ever met. I also got to work with her upstanding daughters
during my time here.
Thank
you Fred Durhal, Bob Kosowski, Scott Dianda, Paul Clemente, Sarah Roberts,
Andrea LaFontaine, Ken Goike, Tony Forlini, Winnie Brinks, Gretchen Driskell,
Pam Hornberger, Diana Farrington for your friendship. And thank you to Pete
Lucido. Good Luck in your new endeavor
I
would also like to thank my Purple Housemate, Patrick Green for the great times
and memories.
Additionally,
I am always grateful for the many conversations I had with Marilyn Lane (and I
do mean many) at the Radisson and also who I got to spend quality time with.
Thank you for your mentorship in my first term.
To the
House Dem policy staff over the last six years, you were great. I didn’t always
agree with you but always respected your opinion and insight. My first term, I
relied heavily on Lansing’s Angels: Emily, Rosie, Caty, Hillary. Later on,
Danny, Ashley, Mitch, Peter, Coffiann, Patti, Nathan, and Kris Young. If I
missed anyone, I am sorry. I would also like to thank my writers, Drew and
Susan, and my graphics people, Liz Krantz and Bobby.
I
would also like to thank Joelle Demand. I call her the Queen of the Floor and
she always treated me great over the past six years.
To my
staff: Zvonko Blazevski, Ryan Earl and my new addition, Matt Lantzy, I can’t
thank you enough for our time together. You are the best and I wish you only
the best in the future. You were always my trusted advisors and always seemed
to calm me down before I got too upset. To Zvonko, you definitely did your best
to live up to your nickname, Loki, the prince of mischief. To Ryan Earl, thank
you for keeping me organized and focused on the task at hand. To Matt, thank
you for being a friend and continue to aim high. The future State
Representative for the 22nd District is going to be in very capable hands.
To the
lobby core: All of your institutional knowledge has always been considered a
valued asset by me. To all those I have interacted with over the six years and
have guided mem thank you for all your help. To all those who I did not
interact with, or they ignored for the me for the past six years, I still won’t
switch parties.
Someone
asked me not too long ago if I would I do something different in life other
than being an elected official. The thing is, looking back over the years, I
realized that I have been a public servant for the majority of my time on God’s
Green Earth going back to when I was 18 and served in the United States Air
Force for six years, at the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department for 29, and as
Councilman, Mayor Pro Tem and Mayor for 19 years and as State Representative
for 6 years. And I got a chance to try to make positive change and stand up for
what I believe in. Stand up for what I believe was best for my constituents as
their representative. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing. I also got to
meet wonderful people that I never would have ever met otherwise. It was never
a dull moment to be sure.
I now
move on to a new phase of my life and a different career path. To all of you
Democrats and Republicans (110) in this chamber-you are good people first and
elected officials second. Good people do good things. Try to work with each
other and try to do what is right for the people of the wonderful state of
Michigan.
I
thank every one of you from the bottom of my heart for this awesome life
experience of meeting, interacting and working together with you on different
projects and laws, and getting to know you and knowing some of your families.
It was a rewarding experience. As I depart, I will leave you the words of my
former Purple House mate, Patrick Green. ‘If you don’t like the apple, turn it
around.’
Thank
you and God bless the State of Michigan and God bless America.”
“Thank
You Madam Speaker
Well,
saying farewell is never easy, especially when you truly love what you do. It
has brought me great joy partnering with my fellow colleagues in creating
policies that are for the betterment of not only the amazing folks that I
represented in House District 7, but ALL of the great people of the Great State
of Michigan.
However,
the most gratifying aspect of the last 6 years of service was resolving the
everyday issues of the people. My office received countless calls from citizens
dealing with DHHS, unemployment and various other daily living concerns. These
calls grew exponentially and were a true thorn in the flesh with the onset of
the COVID-19 pandemic. No matter the size of the issue, I took pride in
handling the challenges head on because I remember what it was like to be on
the other end of those calls with pressing needs, hoping to find relief. I pray
that our State agencies will continue to resolve these issues for our people
who absolutely count on us for guidance and leadership during times of
adversity.
It is
always an honor to have a seat at the table and advocate especially for those
that are not able to champion issues for themselves. I would not have been
allotted this opportunity if it were not for the hard work of my family and
closest friends. Therefore, I must first start by thanking my family for all of
their support. My aunt, Judge Ruth Garrett, who always actively listens to me
rant and then gently offers valuable wisdom to assist me with many pressing
issues. She is my backbone and I thank you Auntie. Also, I thank my cousins
Cathy, Albert, Kelly, Austin and Kristina who also carry the family legacy of
service to the people. To my favorite my cousin Sue, Thank you. Most
importantly, I thank my Husband Anthony who is very excited about having me a
little bit closer and having a little bit more of my time. Somebody save me I do
not want any more children, lol. I thank you more than anything for always
stepping up to the plate and doing last minute lunches for the community
events.
Moreover,
the job I have always cherished and been most appreciative of is the duty of
motherhood. To my 3 children, from oldest to youngest, Future, Chosen, and
Majesty and our newest addition my 3 week old granddaughter Legacy, I love you
all but I’m truly not looking forward to being at the house all day cleaning up
every 5 min and picking up toys. Somebody please help me, lol Again, it is
always an honor to be mom and wife but with COVID a breather is necessary for
us moms. On a serious note, family thanks for supporting me during the last six
years in my current role. I know that it has been a task but we always triumph
as a family, I Love you all.
To my
friends from my childhood who have supported me on this journey, in particular
Myles W. Miller. I want to thank you for standing tall and taking on the
challenge to travel this journey with me. You made sure that not only was I
taken care of but the constituents of House District 7, Thank you.
One
thing that I love most is I have developed longstanding relationships with a
couple of people: Honorable Harvey Santana who Is a straightforward, fair guy
with a great sense of humor. I Truly thank you for our friendship.
To
Brian Banks who showed me how to triumph regardless of people’s opinions and
how to navigate through the many traps they might strategize against you.
To
Sherry Gay-Dagnogo, Thank you for being an education warrior. I value your
sisterhood.
To
Tenisha Yancy, my legislative best friend and my sister. I am so glad that we
met. You are the sister that I’ve never had. I love you and I look forward to
continuing our life long journey traveling the world and eating Gordon Ramsey
steaks in Las Vegas, so get ready!
To
Stephanie Chang my former seat mate boy do I miss talking mother hood with you
and discussing environmental issues.
To
Leslie Love thanks for challenging me to think outside the box in my approach
to legislation and in this political arena. I appreciate you.
To John
Hoadley one of the best bakers outside of my mother in law.
To my
buddy Wendall Byrd. I will always remember our talks and the wisdom that you
shared with me to help my community groups. I am truly convinced that you were
born to be a comedian you missed your calling, but you never fail to make me
laugh. You will always be my buddy.
To
memory of Isaac Robinson, who I will always miss dearly. He always encouraged
me that ‘you have no time to rest.’ He then began to include me in on every
press release he created. You can always tell the reps with no children or
spouses They get around town, lol
To
Frank Liberati and his son. Thank you for coming to my very first meet and
greet. His son surely did have a grand time and boy did he cut a rug.
To
Former Speaker Tom Leonard. Thank you for being so concerned about me during
the birth of my baby and continuing to check in on me. Even after your term
ended, you still made it a priority to follow up. I will forever be
appreciative to you and the many members of your caucus that sowed a tremendous
amount of love during the most difficult and uncertain time of my life.
Although I am lifetime Democrat, you taught me that the human touch doesn’t
know party lines.
To my
former staffers, Kevin Harris, Leyland Lindie, Chelsea Townes, Mya Jones and
countless interns, thank you for your service to the people of House District 7
and know that I will always appreciate your efforts.
Thanks
to my current staffers, Gabrielle Dingell and Robert Davis. Gabrielle, thank
you for all that you do and have done to make sure we are on track with
constituents concerns and complaints. Robert, I thank you but I am so glad I
don’t have to defend the many law suits you file anymore, lol. Nevertheless, I
will miss our bumping heads and many debates. More than anything, you are truly
a gem to have around.
To my
fellow colleagues of the MLBC and the Detroit Caucus, former Rep Sheldon Neeley
thank you for your comradery.
To
Tyrone Sanders and Ken Cole, thank you for your wealth of political knowledge
and your friendships.
Former
Democratic Leader Tim Greimel who showed up to every function I don’t know how
you did it but Thanks.
To
Yousef Rabhi, thank you for always providing solid leadership. To Joelle
Demand, thank you for always being dependable.
To
Mike Aaron, Rory Gamble, Lisa Canada Thank you for your partnerships and
support.
Molina,
Pace (Laurie) and Danny Craig with AARP my seniors are grateful for your
participation and resources you have provided to them throughout my tenure The
collaborative effort was like non other.
David
Katz DMC thank you for assisting me with Patient dilemmas.
To Ms.
Little from Theresa Maxis Senior coordinator, thank you for assuring
cleanliness and safety for my seniors and creating an abundance of activities
that they enjoyed. The seniors really are blessed to have you.
To
Ronnie Peterson, thank you for the many insightful conversations.
To
Coffiann Hawthorne, you are just a wealth of institutional knowledge I
appreciate you.
To
Tracy Winston, I appreciate you as well. These are policy advisors when I asked
them a question, they had an answer. Committees became a breeze with these two
dynamite women.
To Dan
Feinberg, thank you for helping me with all things involving Education and
Financial Services.
Mayor
Hubert Yopp, Alexis Ramsey, and Miriam Kramer thanks for your Leadership and
activism in Highland Park.
Brother
Fuqua Bey I commend you for feeding the 1000’s of people weekly. You are
definitely the thread that hold many communities together. Keep doing the work
of God.
To my
Detroit cohort Councilman Roy McCalister, Jr. Thank you for being a friend and
a brother and taking every call to resolve issues. You are a kind hearted
person remain true to the people you serve.
I
could not have made it this far without prayers and spiritual guidance. A
special thanks to my clergy partners Rev. Robert Smith, Bishop Antonio Smiley,
Bishop Eric Lloyd, Bishop Clarence and First Lady Joyce Haddon, Bishop Wayne T.
Jackson, Prophet Fred Brame, and Mother Lyte. Thanks for all the prayers and
support.
Last
but not least, I have to thank the amazing people for House District 7 for
entrusting me to represent them for three terms in the Michigan House of
Representatives. The voice of Detroiters and Highland Parkers was allowed to
resonate loud in these chambers went you sent me here on your behalf.
Therefore, because of you, I am proud of our fight for Education Reform, Auto
No-Fault Reform, Healthcare, elderly issues, water and environmental equality
and bringing some resolve to the opioid crisis to save our youth. Some of the
most fulfilling aspects of our time together were:
•Feeding
my community
•Retaining
appropriation dollars for special projects that beautified my neighborhood
•Raising
funds for London who was shot in the head at a local gas station. I had the
opportunity to meet London’s father unfortunately he passed two days ago. My
condolences to the family. London is now part of my family.
•Raising
funds for six year old Nyla Law’s burial and her aunt Liz who was hit by drunk
driver. Thank you Representative Karen Whitsett for giving of yourself and
having a compassionate heart to assist this family during their time of
bereavement.
•Partnering
with PACE, AARP, Grind Time Gym to provide multiple workouts and resources for
our seniors throughout the district.
•Partnering
with the Epilepsy foundation to create legislation that will enhance the lives
of our children regardless of the environment in which they are in.
•Creating
coffee by conference in my first term for constituents that had so many issues
of why they could not make it to coffee hour or wanted to travel but still
desired to be updated from afar.
Taking
children to University of Michigan and Michigan State University on multiple
occasions to explore career fields out of the norm that they may be interested
in boy to see the smiles on their faces, Priceless!
•Multiple
scholarships we have given away within the district
•And
creating the Executive Women business group which provide resources and
assistance for entrepreneurs were the most fulfilling moments.
In my
final desires, I am adamant about advancing legislation that will prohibit
animals from riding on the laps of those that are operating a vehicle which
creates distracted driving and passing my Epilepsy Bill out of both chambers. I
am confident that the members of the 101th Legislature will be able to provide
true auto no-fault insurance that will provide true rate relief and even more.
In
closing, Psalm 133:1 tells us, ‘Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity!’ A House divided can never stand up to
live up to its potential. When this body operates as one, in unity, there’s
nothing that it can’t accomplish for the good of the great people of the Great
State of Michigan.
I am
LaTanya Garrett and I thank you all for your time!
Tuebor!”

“Mr.
Speaker and members of the House:
I
fully support funding the Flint Water Settlement. However, it is unwise to fund
this settlement with $600,000,000 of debt because it will have a long-term
negative budgetary impact. Additionally, children that were not even born when
the Flint Water Crisis occured will be on the hook to make these payments in
the years to come. I would be fully supportive of using funding sources that
are currently available to the legislature.”

Comments and
Recommendations
“Distinguished members, I’d like to share
with you what it’s meant to me to serve in this magical manic production called
the ‘Michigan House of Representatives: The Legislature.’ So, in the words of
Hova/Jay Z/Shawn Carter/Beyoncé’s husband, ‘Allow me to reintroduce
myself.’
My name is Leslie Love. I am the daughter of
Norman and Frances Gladden and child of God. The youngest of 4 siblings Norman
Jr., Marcia and Bethany. I am the aunt of 8 nephews Jerome, James, Brian,
Jeron, Brandon, Matthew, Norman, and Gab and 4 nieces Cassandra, Alicia,
Brittany and Elizabeth. I am the grand aunt of 9. The godmother of Amaya and
Justin. The mother of two beautiful boys Chaco Obama Love and Robusto Bararko
Love, my beloved dogs.
And I am a black woman, born and raised in
Detroit. Graduated Burns Elementary, Cadillac Middle and C-O-O-L-E-Y Cooley
High. I went on to graduate with honors from Wayne State University, Marygrove
College and Siena Heights University.
I am that little black girl who attended the
historic Second Baptist Church nursery school (in downtown Detroit) while my
mom worked down the street at Blue Cross and Blue Shield and my father, a
veteran, worked as a heavy machine operator for the City of Romulus Water
Department I’m that girl they teased and called ‘chicken legs’ that grew up on
Coyle, played video games at the arcade on Grand River, bought records and
Michael Jackson posters from Wonderlove Music, raced go-carts made from old
milk crates and found wood. That girl who was too afraid to get in the
swim-mobile but climbed trees and jumped off garage roofs onto a discarded
mattress or a pile of leaves. I’m the high school girl that made her own Gucci
gym shoes from plain white leather sneakers purchased at S.S. Kresge’s on
Greenfield. Three days later, when the kids at school noticed my fake Gucci in
the cafeteria, they laughed so loud and teased me horribly. I wore them for
another week to prove a point: I-AM-A-GENIUS! A pioneer ahead of my time! I
saved $125 of my allowance. Today, knockoffs are normal. What I instinctively
knew, was no one was going to shame me for my creativity, my independence, and
what I thought philosophically made better sense. I guess I knew from a very
early age that my existence; my individuality; my beliefs and my feelings do
not require nor request your approval or permission. Because in the words of
House Music, ‘God made me Phunky!’ like that.
I am that young lady who was the President of
the black student union at college-Siena Heights African American Knowledge
Association (S.H.A.A.K.A). I’d successfully lead a protest sit-in demanding the
college diversify its faculty and staff. Three African American women were
hired as a result. I’m the young lady who wrote and produced her own plays when
I learned my college did not believe in non-traditional casting. Siena Heights
College in Adrian, MI was challenging on many levels. Yet, it was a
transformational experience that enriched me and casted me, in what I see now,
as a very self-aware, self-determined, compassionate, wise and worldly woman
who strives to be COMPETENT, PURPOSEFUL and ETHICIAL and to respect the dignity
of all. To my Adrian Dominican Sisters, Idali Feliciano, Doug Miller, the
faculty and staff, and housekeeping crew at Siena—THANK YOU for an outstanding
liberal arts education. And to my colleagues and students and The Sisters,
Immaculate Heart of Mary at Marygrove College—especially Dr. Glenda Price, Rose
DeSloover and Vince Abatamarco—THANK YOU. Before coming to the legislature, I
had 13 amazing years at Marygrove College as staff and adjunct faculty.
I am also the woman who packed my Ford Probe
and drove out to California with my best friend Raquel seeking to become a
movie star only to return home after 3 years with a few Hollywood credits, a
love of standup comedy, and lots of stories. And like Dorothy in The Wiz, when
I came home my heart’s desires came to pass.
I toured internationally doing stand-up
comedy, toured with Cedric the Entertainer and appeared on BET’s ComicView
(thank you Big Daddy Fitz for telling me to get a passport because you believed
I’d go places in my comedy career and, surprisingly, I did!). I performed in
and wrote plays, was casted in numerous industrials, voice overs and a few
commercials. And in June 2014, the year I ran and won this seat, I was casted
as the Mayor of Metropolis in the Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice movie. I
thought I’d made it! I had my own honey wagon. I had my own chair under the
tent with Director Zack Snyder; my own personal handlers that fussed over my
hair and makeup and put slippers on my feet when I came off set. I ate
with the stars like Laurence Fishburne, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, and Henry Cavill.
Honey, I’d made it! Then the movie came out. And in a packed AMC theatre with
all my friends and family, we watched the movie to the end only to learn my big
part was cut out. My part was cut out, but there was Senator Randy
Richardville, Jim Kirsch, and U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow! The credits read:
Debbie Stabenow Governor of Metropolis. Apparently, Metropolis is a
district/state like Washington D.C. Who knew? Anyway, I thought my scenes were
much more important, after all I gave a rousing mayoral speech and unveiled the
statue of Superman after rebuilding Metropolis from complete destruction. Oh
well. It wouldn’t be the first time I’d get undercut.
After that experience, I knew the real actors
must be in Lansing and Washington D.C.! So, even though my part was cut out the
movie, winning my election that year meant I would be on an even larger stage;
with even bigger divas… and bad actors. Only this time, my part would not be
cut and I’d play a major role in sponsoring, co-sponsoring or negotiating
landmark legislation including the reconstruction of DPSCD, auto insurance
reform, juvenile justice reform, election reform and COVID-19 preparedness in
nursing homes.
Since I was a child, I’ve dreamt of becoming
a movie star, but I guess God saw fit to use my talents to be one of 148 stars
in one of the biggest productions of my life—the Michigan legislature. And I am
so fortunate to have worked with this wonky, oftentimes infuriating and
occasionally delightful cast of characters that have performed in this chamber.
Still today, when I walk up Michigan Ave and see our beautiful capitol, I feel
like Dorothy going to see the Wizard. I am still in awe of its majesty. When I walk
the halls, sit in the Appropriations Room, eat in the Speaker’s Library, or
press the button at my desk I pinch myself because this black girl from Coyle
Street in Detroit, with a heart as big as her head, gets to work here. I feel
so blessed and privileged for this experience.
As a black woman in this world; occupying
this space. It matters that little black and brown girls see women like me and
Padma Kuppa in this space. It matters that our voices are heard in these
hallowed halls, and our legislation gets passed. Whether it’s the Crown bill by
Rep. Anthony or Rep. Brenda Carter’s maternal mortality legislation, it’s time
for the issues affecting black and brown women and our communities to take
center stage. From housing to health disparities, and from respect in the
workplace to water security, including and incorporating us in the process and
decision-making is paramount to the evolution of American culture. This became
evident to me when a little girl from Fisher elementary school met me during her
school’s visit to the Capitol. She was so excited to see me. She was pointing
and jumping up and down. I kept looking around for Rep. Jones because he’s
the only one I know who gets that kind of fan reaction. But she was pointing to
me. She wanted a picture with me. ‘Are you really Ms. Love?,’ she asked as she
hugged me. ‘Yes, it’s really me. And I’m really your State Representative,’ I
whispered as I hugged her tighter to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. That
interaction motivated me to read to every 3rd grader in my district during
March is Reading month and to start civic engagement sessions in my district’s
high schools. I wanted little girls like me from Coyle Street in Detroit to
know the possibilities in all areas—from astronaut (Mae Jemison) to zoologist
(Mrs. Roger Arliner Young) and even Vice President (Kamala Harris).
The 100th legislature is historical in terms
of black women in the legislature. There are 54 women elected and serving with
43 in the House and 11 in the Senate. Of those women, 13 are African American
and all of them are Democrat; with 10 in the House and 3 in the Senate. In the
history of Michigan’s legislature, there have only been 36 black women total
who have served. Now with 13 members, this term has the largest number of black
women serving in Michigan’s history.
It means a lot to me, my family and my
community that I’ve been a good and faithful servant to the people and a
change-agent in the legislature. To be able to say, I’m a lawmaker eight times
over while in the minority is significant. To have passed meaningful
legislation around sexual assault, juvenile justice reform, banking reform,
auto insurance reform and the mitigation of COVID, to name a few, is
astonishing. To have been able to secure and deliver nearly $1 million to my
district is dope. To sit on both policy and appropriations committees and hold
chairmanships is powerful. To receive a special appointment by both Governors
Whitmer and Snyder is distinguishing. To serve as the Dem caucus vice- chair,
the first vice president and treasurer of the Progressive Women’s Caucus, and
Executive Vice Chair, 2nd Vice Chair and Chaplain for the Michigan Legislative
Black Caucus is phenomenal. To be a 3rd termer is a huge accomplishment and
something to be proud of because not everyone who starts this journey gets to
finish it until term limited. I’m a 3rd Termer; a senior member. And now that I’m
actually good at my job, term limits are kicking me out. But I’m not sad. I
have NO regrets. I’ve had a thorough legislative experience. From standing on
top of the Mackinac bridge, to touring the cavernous Detroit salt mine, and
from visiting the Soo Locks to a MSP helicopter ride over Detroit and from bear
hunting with the Huffs near Gaylord and duck hunting with Rep. Cherry in
Nayanquing Point, to Salmon fishing in Lake Michigan with Sen. Vanderwall, I’ve
done it, honey!
Speaking of hunting and fishing. Serving as
co-chair of the Legislative Sportsmen Caucus, with Triston Cole, is one of
my best experiences. It afforded me the opportunity to try new things, have a
lot of fun and learn a great deal about hunting and fishing and the
contributions sportsmen and women make toward conservation efforts across our
state, but especially in southeastern Michigan. In addition to preserving and
protecting everything from our wildlife to wetlands, sportsmen and women
generate over $11.2 billion annually and $3.7 billion of that is generated in
southeast Michigan. So with that, I’d like to thank The Academy for this unique
opportunity. What an honor and privilege it’s been to serve. Thank you to my
parents, grandma, family and friends for raising me in a loving and encouraging
environment. Thank you, Michigan.
Remember to: Work with PURPOSE. Lead with
CHARACTER. Decide with VALUES.
In closing, and in true Tony Award winning
fashion, I’d like to give my ‘Thank Yous’:
To My Friends: Jimalatice Thomas-Gilbert,
Terrence German, Raquel Plaskett, Brad Clark, Teeka Jenkins-King, Cheryl Prude,
Alfred Cureau, Jr., Soror Angela Bullock, Rick Blocker-my golf coach, and my
beloved Sorors of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Incorporated. Thank you.
To the People: The residents of District
10—Redford Township and northwest Detroit two dynamic municipalities —Thank
you! Without you, I really wouldn’t be here. Your love, laughter, criticism,
kindness and—Your Vote—has sustained me and made me a better legislator. Thank
you. I love you.
To the ‘Love Bugs’: My diverse crew including
childhood, college and neighborhood friends, and my dynamic office team. Thank
you for gracing me with your brilliance and sharing your talents to make
Michigan a better place and me a better person.
Special shout out to all the campaign
volunteers and community leaders; especially Arielle Edwards. The only person
to ever get attacked by a dog in all my 7 election campaigns. I’m so thankful
you weren’t hurt. And to the many neighborhood association leaders and members.
THANK YOU.
Special
shout out to Jasmine Thompkins whose brilliance is only matched by her bravery.
From jumping out of a plane with me to plunging into polar cold waters as Ninja
Turtles, you are fierce! And I love you for your tenacity and humility. Please
thank Kennedy for sharing her mommy with the district. (We were putting in
L-O-N-G hours in those days!) You are more than a colleague; I consider you a
friend and one of the most brilliant women in Lansing.
Special shout out to ‘The Kevins’: Kevin
Harris and Kevin Shopshire. You guys are the best! Thank you for your
unwavering loyalty and excellent work ethic. And even though you weren’t good
with fashion advice, you are beyond outstanding wingmen. Shopshire, you have
learned more black slang and black women-isms than any white man not married to
a black woman should be allowed to know! And you rolled with it all like a true
‘ride-or-die’ solider. Thank you.
My beloved Kevin Harris, I don’t have enough
time here to thank you enough. You have been my ‘Day 1’ in politics and
campaigning. We have been on some journeys together! We’ve almost died, we’ve
cried, ‘rolled up’ on some fools, we fed the needy and kept each other’s trust.
And when I had to make the horrible decision to move my mom out of our family
home, you were there. Nothing but love for you my brother; my friend forever.
Thank you.
To the Cast and Crew: The legislators, policy
team, and capitol staff.
To the Daves (the board operators in the
back), I really didn’t know what the heck you did until that fateful night in
2015. And I learned about the many roles you play behind the scenes to make
sure our votes are counted and recorded. Thank you. And to Dan, Mike, Julian
and Tom who run the cameras. Thank you for nailing my close ups and my
scene-stealing air kisses to Rep. Sneller.
To the ‘Supremes’—Stephanie, Paris, Marcy and
Cheryl (aka/the Journal Clerks) and the ‘Backstreet Boy’—Dan, Eric, Kevin &
Darric (aka/the Bill Clerks). I call you the Supremes because you always
respond, ‘good night’ to me in perfect harmonic unison and it sounds like
music. And I call you Backstreet Boy because when I hand over my resolutions, ‘I
Want It That Way,’ but there’s always revisions.
Thank you, Clerks Brown and Randall. Clerk
Randall, I want you to know the sapling jade you gave me my freshmen year
(which I named Randall) is alive and thriving and has sprouted a second jade
that I’ve named Darlene.
To all the sergeants especially Chief Sgt.
Dixon and Deputy Chief Fawn, thank you. Chief Dixon, we’ve shared a special
type of respect and admiration for each other. From you dragging an intruder
off the floor from his collar and belt to you chasing me on the Floor as I
attempted to be recognized to speak on DPSCD. I will truly miss you. And I’ll
especially miss Nicholas, the Page, who holds the door open when I enter the
chamber. I’m sure they’re not going to do that for me at my next job. Thank
you.
Alice, I’m eternally grateful for your
kindness, spiritual guidance and talks. You’re such a fun and funny lady.
My awesome seatmates Marcia Hovey-Wright,
Erika Geiss and Kara Hope. Marcia is a vivacious woman and founder of the progressive
women’s caucus. Rep. Hope is the Zen vegetarian who’s as cool as a coronavirus
vaccine shipment. And Erika is my legislative bestie. She’s a dame like me. She
smokes cigars, drinks dark liquor and cusses like a sailor. She’s a great
partner to get into Good Trouble with. Our friendship was forged over trying
times and our bond has remained. We’ve had some great times. And I’m sure there
will be other ceilings we’ll not only break but walk on. Wink wink.
To Asja and Liz in communication and all the
Dem Policy team, especially Dan, Peter, Mao, Andy, Cynthia Paul, and
Coffiann—THANK YOU!
If you don’t know, Coffiann Hawthorne is
institutional knowledge! She is the lighthouse of legislation. The mistress of
Amendments. The Wakanda’s Dora Milaje of policy. This woman is the BEST to have
ever done it. A consummate professional; an honorable woman whom I deeply
cherish and respect. Thank you for ALWAYS keeping members first; keeping us
honest; and keeping us from falling. THANK YOU.
I’ll cherish the memory of Julie Plawecki We’d
always ask each other, ‘What the hell is going on here?’ John Kivela who I
always liked better than Scott Dianda. Isaac Robinson was my brother in
Greekdom and life. I wish he was still here. He was brave, bold and brazen and
would’ve flip this chamber on its ear. (His mom once told me I was the least
full of shit member of the Detroit caucus. That was a high compliment from
former Rep. Rose Mary Robinson.) Joe Tate doing the polar plunge with me and
your ‘Not Bothered’ nonconfrontational demeanor. I hope to grow up to be as
gracious and unaffected by annoying people and things like you. Cara Clemente
we just vibe. I’ve always adored you. I miss serving with you on committee.
Duck Hunting with John Cherry. I still get teased for going into the woods with
a group of white men with long guns. Golfing with Frank Liberati and John
Chirkun. The first time we golfed, I thought I was going to be the worst
player. Nope, that would be John. And I love John’s wife Sharon. She’s the
best. Rep. Ellison’s wife Jodie is great too. You guys really lucked up! Having
dinner with Appropriations members when Julie and Jon argued with Sue and I
kept trying to change the conversation to types of honey, to no avail. Then
Angela Witwer and her friends appeared with an extra ticket to see Hamilton. I
bailed on that dinner faster than a duck can drop a turd. Our first ‘Black Girl
Magic’ gathering and the steadfast support and enthusiasm of Reps. Sarah
Anthony and Kyra Bolden. You ladies are a class act! #keepitclassy Sheldon
Neeley thank you, my brother, for your leadership with MLBC. You raised more
money, oversaw the portrait hanging of William Webb Ferguson, the first black
legislator, in the Capitol. Floor Leader Yousef Rahbi and Jelani, you have such
a good spirit and awesome energy. I love you two. Senator Moss and Rep.
Wittenberg I love you guys. Donna Lasinski, I remember meeting you and the talk
we had. Now you’re the Leader-elect. I’m so proud that you chose to define
yourself. I appreciate and admire your tenacity and audacity. Please keep that
energy going. Rep. Sneller for bribing
me to be his friend with Snicker bars and Reese cup. It worked. Fifteen pounds
later, I couldn’t love you more. Sheryl Kennedy when you came on the DPSCD
school tour, I knew you were the Real Deal! You are an education juggernaut!
Sara Cambensy for introducing me to the U.P. and sled dogs races, touring the
iron mine, learning about Stormy Kromer. Thank you. Love you ‘Howdie’ Jon
Hoadley because you’re so freakishly smart and funny. You were fair. Laurie
Pohutsky, Lori Stone, Kevin Coleman and Cynthia Neeley for staying the
course when the going got tough on the nursing home bill package. Pohutsky, you
rock! Be more you. Padma Kuppa, ‘We’re kept from your goal not by obstacles,
but by a clear path to lesser goals.’ Make this experience worthy of your
efforts. And thank you all for the tremendous work you did on the nursing home
bill package. Please keep that energy in the next term. Over 6 years, I’ve had
the honor to serve with 26 different members representing Detroit: Bert Johnson,
Virgil Smith, Coleman Young II, Morris Hood III, David Knezek, Ian Conyers,
Marshall Bullock, Adam Hollier, Stephanie Chang, Betty Jean Alexander,
Sylvia Santana, Harvey, Brian Banks, Alberta Tinsley-Talabi, Wendell Byrd,
Fred Durhall III, LaTanya Garrett, Sherry Gay‑Dagnogo, Cynthia A.
Johnson, Rose Mary Robinson, Isaac Robinson, Joe Tate, Tyrone Carter, Karen
Whitsett, Tenisha Yancey, and Abraham Aiyash. We are one of a kind. In the
words of Missy Elliot our caucus is ‘Planet rocka. Show stoppa. Flo proppa.
Head knocka.’ Wendell, LaTanya and Sherry we came in together and we’re leaving
together. One day we’ll all gather around a large table of food (like only
Detroit Reps do), laugh and truly enjoy each other’s company as Wendell leans
back in his chair, pull out those teeth and ask the table, ‘Am I right or am I
wrong?’ To Cynthia A. Johnson, I was so glad coronavirus came so you would stop
all that damn hugging and kissing. Just kidding. In all seriousness, thank you
for helping me with me new dog and your friendship. My big brothers Ken Cole
and Tyrone Sanders, Tommy Stallworth, Dr. K.B. Stallworth, Buzz Thomas, Bert
Johnson and Jimmy Womack and big sisters Monique Fields, Lisa Howze, Shanelle
Jackson and Maureen Stapleton. Your wisdom, your confidence, your realness is
held hallowed. Thank you. Jean Doss-Crohn Disease. Melissa McKinley-Polar
Plunge. Bill Wortz, Breslin brothers, Mike Hawks Rusty Merchant, Nicole
Nystrom, and Andrea C. Jill Scott, Aretha Franklin, The Clark Sisters, Missy
Elliot, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, Eminem/Marshall Mathers, Drake, Busta Rhythms,
and the cast of Hamilton for all the sing-a-longs as I drove back and forth to
work. To the leaders of the Democrat caucus Tim Greimel, Sam Singh and
Christine Greig. Thank you for your leadership and friendship. Chris, you’re a
dynamic woman.
To my Republican friends Rep. Tommy Braun. I
see your humanity. You are such a kind and thoughtful beautiful being. Thank
you for what you did in my honor at the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State
University. Love! Reps ‘photo’ Phil, Brumstead, Canfield, Kelly and LaVoy- my
freshman year we had such a GREAT bi-partisan quad-squad. We had such a great
raucous good time back here. Maybe that’s why they implemented this new seating
thing. To ensure no commiserating shall be had between the two parties. It hasn’t
been the same since. I cherish the camaraderie and fellowship with Tony
Forlini, Jeff Farrington, Ed McBroom, ‘Uncle’ Al Pscholka, Pete Pettalia, Randy
Richardville, Pete MacGregor, Wayne Schmidt, Tonya Schuitmaker, Julie
Alexander, Kathy Crawford, Bronna Kahle, Lana Thesis, and Holly Hughes. Did you
know Holly sponsored a bill in my ‘stripper bill package? Kevin Cotter- the
quintessential gentleman statesman. Thank you for your compassion and
protection. As the James Bond type, you set the bar extraordinarily high. Tom
Leonard- you were like the Leonardo DiCarpio in The Wolf of Wallstreet type but
not in the bad hookers and Quaalude way, but in the good times were really good
and the bad times were really bad way. I was such a naïve bright-eyed freshman,
when I wandered into a Republican reception and started mingling. And instead
of making me feel like this wasn’t a reception for me, you befriended me and
even pinned me that evening. I passed three bills and numerous resolutions
under your leadership. Chatfield did not surpass your record, though he had the
chance. Making you the most ‘Love Legislation’ friendly Speaker. Lee Chatfield-
I couldn’t decide if you were a Bruce Willis tough guy type or the Deadpool
type. Either way, you are tough! You are the bad guy and the good guy. And I’ve
never had more frustration and fun with any other Speaker. I’m so delighted and
impressed with myself that I was able to crack the Chatfield code sometimes. We
have had the most dynamic, powerful and meaningful exchanges. I appreciate our
unique relationship and the mutual respect we share. Even though I had to give
a doctoral dissertation to get you to agree on some things, I am glad you have
the capacity and willingness to try. So many people are closed-minded and
unmalleable. I’m glad to see that you can be open and are willing to step WAAAY
out of your comfort zone and that was evident when you allowed the African
praying drums. Thank you. Lastly, you all can thank me for toilet seat covers.
It was my first legislative action and I couldn’t be prouder I’ve help save a
tush from toilet seat tinkle.
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen of the
100th legislature, that’s a wrap! Thank you. [Love drops the mic and exits
stage left.]”
“Every
time I step foot on the House floor, it is truly an honor. We can all remember
that first time, during orientation as Rep. Elects, that we get to walk onto
the floor. A lot of hard work, years, sometimes decades, of involvement in our
communities, have gotten us to this point, where we are sent to Lansing to
represent our districts.
I will
always remember that walk onto the House floor in November 2014. But for me it
wasn’t the first time. In fact, the first time I can remember sitting on the
floor during session was in 2004. I was a staff person for Speaker Rick
Johnson, and I was given the ‘task’ of sitting near a Rep and keeping him awake
long enough to vote during one of our late-night sessions. I didn’t care, I was
just happy to be on the House floor.
My
time in Lansing started as an intern in the State Senate when I was 20 years
old. And it continued for nearly ten years as a staff person for a governor and
legislators in both the House and Senate. You could say that I grew up in
Rochester Hills, but I really GREW UP working around the Capitol in Lansing.
This was an invaluable experience that prepared me for my time as a
representative. I had previously done almost every job you can do in the
legislature except to vote.
I want
to start off by thanking the Residents of the Greater Rochester area for
sending me here to represent you for the past 6 years. When I was 29, the City
of Rochester Hills residents took a chance on me and elected me to City
Council. Thirteen years later, it has been an honor to be your voice. Our
office has strived to deliver strong constituent service and accessibility to
help you navigate state government.
Next, I
want to thank my family. My wife Julia and my son James have kept me humble and
grounded during this journey. After a day in Lansing of hearing Mr. Chairman or
Representative, I know I can come home and be ‘dad’ or ‘Michael’. For 13 years,
I have debated my wife on the issues of the day, as I struggle to formulate a
position on this issue or that issue. She is my sounding board.
I must
also thank my parents – Bob and Nancy – for always supporting me and being
great role models for community involvement and giving back. Thank you to my
more famous, rock star brothers Tim and Matt for accepting a politician into
the family. And thank you to the Wimberley and Barlow families for always being
supportive of Julia’s husband.
Next,
I must thank the great staff I have had over the years. It can’t be easy to
work for a former staff person, but each had a unique role in successes that
our office had over the years. Kari Bearman, John McNamara, Charles
Visser, Mitch Moore, Doug Boehm Jr, Molly Wingrove, Peter Escho, and Kevin Rose.
I could not do what I do if it wasn’t for their hard work over the years. Each
earned rave reviews from constituents and each left their mark on the 45th
House District.
I have
been blessed to serve under three speakers who entrusted me to serve on some of
the most powerful committees in town. I must single out Speaker Lee Chatfield
for allowing me to Chair the House Regulatory Reform Committee over this past
session. It was an honor to serve in that role and to serve as part of your
leadership team. Our committee was one of the busiest of the session. Thank you
to the members, particularly Vice Chair John Chirkun for your partnership over
the last two years, we were able to accomplish a lot. And a special thank you
to Jimmy Biehl from the Policy office for your tireless work in support of the
committee.
Thank
you to all the staff who make this institution run – the Business office, the
Sergeants, the Clerks, the Pages, the Michigan State Police, the Cleaning
staff, the Building staff, the Tour guides. You keep us organized and you keep
us safe. Special recognition also goes to our Policy Staff, our Communications
staff, and the Leadership staff for working to keep our caucus running and
informed.
I have
had the pleasure of sitting next to three different seat mates – Lisa Lyons,
Joe Graves, and now Jack O’Malley. Thank you for your friendship and
conversation over the years. I want to congratulate Speaker-Elect Jason
Wentworth and wish him, and the 101st Legislature, the very best next session.
This chamber is in great hands with Jason at the helm. Please welcome my friend
Mark Tisdel into this exclusive club, he will make an excellent representative
of this body.
If I
start to list a lot of members, I will leave someone out and I don’t want to do
that. The truth is that I have enjoyed serving with all of you – past and
present. There is great potential in this room when we put politics aside and
work together. Experience from all walks of life, every corner of this state. I
am proud to have served with each of you – You were in the Arena.
As I
leave political life, I look forward to being closer to home and having more
time with family. One of the things my son James and I like to do together is
ride the roller coasters. For a seven-year-old, he is fearless. He will find
the tallest, fastest ride in the park and want to get on. One time, we tried to
convince him he wasn’t tall enough to ride, but the measuring stick at the
front said otherwise.
Now
seven-year old’s lack patience, so standing in line can be hard. Still, when
you are in the line, you can kind of size up the ride, see all the twists and
turns. You hear the roar of the crowd as they fly by, go upside down, and drop
from the highest of levels. The anticipation builds for your turn.
Now
James always wants to sit with me on these rides, instead of mom. He is
convinced that somehow, if something goes haywire, that I can save him because
I am so strong – his words. And while one can size up a ride in the line, you
really must experience it for yourself.
Riders
can and will have different experiences. Some put their hands up while others
cover their eyes. Some are just looking for the camera that takes your picture.
Some are not having any fun at all while others are having a blast.
All
the buildup, the standing in line, the anticipation – and the ride is over like
that. It is exhilarating – you wish you could ride it all day long. But then
you look to the side. Other people have been waiting in line for a while now
too. It is their turn to ride the ride, their turn to experience everything it
has to offer.
It is
time for me to exit, with all my personal belongings. But it was a great ride,
one that I will always cherish.”
Rep.
Wittenberg:
“6
years, but a blink of an eye. There is a saying about having young children.
The days and nights are long, but the years go by fast. I could say the same
about serving in the House. We had many...far too many… long nights here, but
the years went by fast.
It
seems like yesterday, although it was 5 ½ years ago, that we were at ease here
on the floor during a late-night session, and I decided to take a tour of the
Capital. I might have also spent a bit of time in the bathroom on the first
floor. Little did I know, I wasn’t getting cell service there, and when I
walked in the double doors in the back, it was completely quiet, and everyone
turned back to look at me as I was the last one to vote. I was quick to
say loudly that I wasn’t getting service in the bathroom. You can imagine the
reaction I got.
I have
far too many stories to share, but just one more I want to mention, about Julie
Plawecki.
Julie…my
colleague, my lunch buddy, my friend. As a few people have mentioned in their
speeches, I am a bit of a foodie and I never say no to food. I always like
trying everything at the table or at a group lunch, so Julie indulged me and
always split her sandwiches with me or gave me some of her meal to try. And
that was just during orientation. That was the start of our friendship. She was
the most caring and generous person, always thinking about others. Julie, this
institution and this world hasn’t been the same since you left us far too
early. Mark, Lauren, Rachel and Monica, I think of her and you, often.
I am
also sad to say we lost Pete Pettalia, John Kivela, and Isaac Robinson, all far
too young and too early.
I am a
very thankful person. I believe in the Thank you culture so this will be a
speech of gratitude. I’m also not as funny as the incomparable Cathy Crawford,
so I won’t even try to match her stand-up routine. And I will try to not speak
for too long, because with term limits, and the turnover in this institution,
it’s like every student getting to speak at 8th grade graduation.
In no
particular order, I’d like to start with my wife Kimberly. So much changes over
6 years: my girlfriend became my fiancé, then wife, and now the mother of our
two beautiful, sweet and exhausting kids. You are thoughtful, caring, smart and
selfless. You are my proof reader and my best friend. I love you more today
than I did 6 years ago, and I’m excited to be able to spend additional time
closer to home to be with you.
Also,
a big thank you to my parents, Mollie and Howard, for always supporting me and
encouraging me. I literally wouldn’t be where I am today without them. To
my brother and sister. You were my first best friends, and that hasn’t changed.
I know I can always count on you. Jamie - You are my mentor and my hero. I have
always looked up to you and always tried to make you proud. You are the strongest
person I know, and what you are dealing with is just a bump in the road. I know
you’ll live a long and meaningful life. And to my in-laws and all my friends
and family back home, thank you and I love you all.
The
People of the 27th district. You are the most active and engaged constituents
in the state, without question. Thank you for your support and for pushing me.
I was never here for me. I was here because of all of you. I was here because I
wanted to serve my community, and you honored me with the opportunity. I wish
my successor, Regina Weiss, all the best. The 27th District is in great hands.
Now,
to the people that make this institution work.
Our
Caucus team including writers, graphic designers, photographers, videographers,
policy, legal, member services and social media and all my friends and
colleagues working in other District offices.
There
are far too many of you to mention here, but you are all appreciated.
And to
Kris Young, Ryan Seabolt and Jelani McGadney, for making sure I voted in a
timely manner (sometimes), and for keeping us all in line. KY, thanks for
answering all of my ridiculous texts. I appreciate you and your friendship.
To all
the pages here over the years.
IT
Dept
Tim
Bowlin who is definitely somewhere warm. Doug Simon, the business office and
the HR dept including Lisa, Mark and Stacy. You keep the ship afloat.
To the
clerks Rich Brown and Gary Randall, and Darlene, the committee clerks, LSB,
Andi and Lainie and HB the cat, the Peckham staff including Christina, who the
friendliest person in the world. Nae, who we miss dearly and Janet. The
sergeants. All the maintenance and facilities staff. And Joelle – Fun fact, I
didn’t realize she worked in a partisan office until months into my tenure.
None of this happens without all of you. And Alice. You do a great job of
brightening up everyone’s day. – I know you’ll Keep running until you are 100!
And to
the lobbyists. With term limits, your role is very important here. There are
lobbyists for everything. I used to say it at my coffee hours often when it
came up. Lobbyists aren’t an issue. They are people just advocating on behalf
of their clients or for a particular cause. Term limits, gerrymandering and
money in politics are the issue. One has been addressed, the others are for
another discussion.
Media
- Unfortunately, you have become small in number but monumental in importance.
Thank you for the work you do every day to keep the residents of our state
informed.
As
everyone here knows, you’re only as good as your team that surrounds you. Our
team in the 27th district was second to none. Aaron Keel, Barbara Winter,
Ricardo White, Liam Bagley, Mario Arribas, Neema Katibai, and the countless
interns…Thank you. We always tried to have fun in our office while still being helpful
and responsive to our residents, and always going above and beyond. You are all
friends and I can’t thank you enough for always being there to support me and
our neighbors back home. And Liam and Mario, for adapting on a moment’s notice
and responding to every constituent during this extremely trying time. I would
be remiss if I didn’t talk a little more about Barbara. Barbara – the office
hasn’t been the same without you…. Check that, the entire HOB hasn’t been the
same without you. Your contagious laugh and unique sense of humor is missed by
everyone within three floors of our office. Thank you for allowing me to work
for you!!
Speakers
Leonard and Chatfield. We disagreed on a lot, agreed on some, but are friends,
nonetheless. I said a lot of things about you at my coffee hours regarding
things you did here, or just as importantly, things you didn’t do. But I never
threw you under the bus without adding that I consider you both friends and
that I would continue to chip away at you. I appreciate your friendship.
Sam
Singh – You are a mentor and a friend.
Speaker-Elect
Wentworth – We’ve spent some time together and I know you are a selfless and
principled person. I encourage you to look at Democrats as partners, not
opponents, and you’ll get a lot done for the state. Donna Lasinski is a
thoughtful, tough, smart and attentive leader. I hope you two work well
together.
Chris
Greig - We came in together and we are exiting together. It has been an honor
serving with you. You did a great job during a difficult time. You are my
leader and my friend. I am excited for whatever the future holds for you.
Yousef
– Your loud voice is only surpassed by your big heart. Keep shouting to the
mountaintops.
My
Seat mates – John Chirkun, Frank Liberati, and Jim Haadsma. It was a pleasure
getting to know you. Thanks for sharing your food with me and letting me vent
to you on nights when we were here past 3 am. We had a lot of fun. Frank, I’ll
definitely see you at your deli soon.
And to
Sherry, my love. Your passion and eloquence are unlike anyone else I’ve ever
met. To this day, I still go back and re-watch some of your speeches. You
are a phenomenal public servant and an even better person. I learned so much
from you over the years. I’ll miss you, but I know we’ll stay in touch and you’ll
continue to do everything you can to help the people, and specifically, the
students of Detroit.
To
some of the other legislators I came in with -
Vanessa
Guerra – The first time I met her was at our orientation. She introduced
herself and said very properly ‘my name is Vanessa Guerra, I’m from Saginaw and
I like puppies’ ...or something like that. Then I got to know her and realized
she swears like a sailor. She is really smart, brutally honest and doesn’t pull
punches. That’s what I love about her. She will be an excellent clerk for
Saginaw.
Jon
Hoadley – You are one of the smartest people I know, and you are an expert on
messaging. I have always looked up to you here in the legislature, and I’m
happy to have your friendship. You are also an amazing baker and very generous
with your snacks. I won’t be mad if you send me tins of baked goods.
Latonya
Garrett – You constantly shared your food with me. I definitely wasn’t upset
when you would over order and pass some on to me. You’ll forever be in my heart
for that and for your friendship.
Leslie
Love!! I always looked forward to your speeches. I never knew if you were going
to use a fart analogy or something else crazy like a duck turd. But you were
always on message. I look forward to buying a ticket to your show one day.
Kristy
Pagan – We’ve worked together on many issues. Gun Violence Prevention, the
environment, reproductive rights, sex education, and a host of others. You are
a policy wonk and I appreciate all of the work we did.
Jeremy
Moss, my friend. Frick left Frack here in the House, and my last term wasn’t
the same without you. I missed having you here, but that didn’t stop us from
talking every single day. I’m proud to call you my senator and thankful for all
the work that you do for our district. You are truly an effective and
influential legislator. You are also one of my best friends, and I know that
will continue long beyond your time in the legislature. I will always remember
Dec 7, 2014. I know, because you won’t let me forget it.
I also
missed Stephanie Chang, the hardest working legislator anywhere.
Erika
Geiss, Winnie Brinks and Jeff Irwin. I look up to you all and thank you for
your friendship. Keep up the great work in the Senate.
Darrin
and Abdullah – AKA Wittenberg/Moss 2.0. You are both perfect leaders for your
respective districts. Thank you for your friendship, and I’m excited to see
what the future holds for you both.
Sarah
Anthony - You did a great job wrangling the circus that is our caucus. You are
destined for great things and I’m eager to cheer you on along the way. Shalom!!
Cara
Clemente – You came in and it was a huge upgrade from your predecessor. I know
he would say the same :) You have a big heart and I appreciate you and Paul and
your friendship with me and Kimberly.
David
LaGrand – You’re too smart for your own good, but I always value your opinion.
Thanks for the respirator.
Matt
Koleszar – You have a heart of gold. And that’s why you are a teacher. I know
you’ll keep doing the work, even though you won’t always get the credit.
Laurie
Pohutsky – I can’t tell you how glad I am to have a scientist in the
legislature. Especially during a pandemic. You are brilliant and do a great job
for your district.
Joe
Tate – I’ve known you since high school, longer than anyone else here. We
actually played football against each other. I won’t tell you which one of us
went on to play in college and the NFL. You’ll have to google it. Joe, it’s
been great reconnecting with you here.
Tenisha
Yancy – You are an inspiration to so many. You didn’t let a mistake in your
past define you, but rather to motivate you to do great things and serve your
community. You are a passionate advocate and the Detroit Caucus is in good
hands. Thanks for sharing your smoothies with me.
Wendell
Bird – I haven’t seen you in a while, I hope you are doing well up there. I
might be calling you with some tax questions.
Our
Oakland County Crew – I won’t be far, and I look forward to continuing our work
together. Jim Ellison, Brenda Carter, Padma Kuppa, Mari Manoogian and Kyra
Bolden. Thank you for your friendship and your partnership on behalf of the
residents of Oakland County. I am also looking at you, Webber, Howrylak, Tedder,
McCready, Kesto, Schroeder and Berman.
And
specifically, to Manoogs and KHB, stay On Fire.
Dave
Maturen, boy do I miss him. He is a kind and decent man, full of integrity, and
I miss having him around here.
Tommy
Brann – You have a big heart. Always follow your heart, Tommy!
VanSingel
– You’re a good person, and I appreciate you, so I won’t taint your reputation
by telling stories from our trip.
Andrea
Schroeder – It’s been a pleasure getting to know you, and I’m glad you are
healthy and doing well. I’ll continue to see you and check in on you.
Chris
Afendoulis – You are a friend and I miss you. I read more now because of you.
And
outside of the legislature, our fearless state-wide leaders that I am honored
to call friends. Governor Whitmer, Attorney General Nessel and Secretary
of State Benson. Keep up the great work.
And if
I missed anyone else, I am sorry. But know that it has been a pleasure sharing
this unique experience with you.
Last,
and most importantly, to my kids Ada and Abel, I didn’t even know you when I
first got here, but I’ve loved you my whole life. Everything I’ve done and will
continue to do is for you. I wish you all the best and I will support you every
step of the way.
And I
want to end by talking about a light that was extinguished far too early. Just
this week, we heard the news of the passing of Taylor Derosa, a student at
Grand Valley State. She was just 18 years old. She grew up in Royal Oak and
graduated from Royal Oak High School. I got to know her through her activism
with Students Demand Action, a group advocating for Gun Safety in Michigan. She
had a beautiful soul that was evident from her kind nature, her passion to
help, and her big bright smile that never seemed to leave her face. Her
potential was limitless, and I want her mom to know that I, and so many of us
here are thinking about her and offer our condolences. So, colleagues, and
everyone else that might stumble upon this video, life is fleeting. Don’t take
anything for granted. Tell your family and friends you love them and always say
thank you.
Stay
safe everyone, and all the best in the future.”

House
Resolution No. 353.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of
the United States to work collaboratively with states on a national strategy to
help small businesses and local units of government.
Whereas,
The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a dramatic effect on small businesses in Michigan
and throughout the United States. In order to mitigate the virus’ spread,
non-essential businesses have needed to temporarily close or significantly
reduce operations. Businesses have also faced reduced traffic as consumers have
limited potential exposure to the virus. This has led to unprecedented declines
in revenue and the permanent closure of tens of thousands of small businesses
throughout the country; and
Whereas,
Local governments have also been significantly affected by the Pandemic.
Falling revenues from property, casino, and local income taxes have placed
these governments under immense fiscal stress that may be exacerbated by a
decline in state revenue sharing; and
Whereas,
Michigan and states throughout the nation are experiencing rising coronavirus
cases that may place further stress on small businesses and local governments.
In Michigan, some mitigation measures have been temporarily reinstituted to
control the virus; and
Whereas,
Establishing a coordinated national strategy to support small businesses and
local governments will alleviate some of this burden and help the nation to
recover more quickly when the Pandemic has ended. Providing support to small
businesses will help protect jobs and American livelihoods in the immediate
future, while also ensuring that these businesses are able to avoid permanent
closure. Likewise, supporting local governments will allow them to avoid
unnecessarily harmful budget cuts immediately and emerge in a stronger
financial position after the crisis; and
Whereas,
The aid provided by the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act was critical in saving lives and businesses but insufficient to
weather the ongoing crisis. The funding provided to small businesses was
inadequate to support the number of small businesses affected by the Pandemic.
Further, the act only provided direct aid to local governments with a
population of half-a-million or greater, meaning the vast majority of Michigan’s
nearly 2,000 local units of government were ineligible for direct payments.
This funding is also expiring and may only be used for costs incurred by the
end of this year; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United
States to work collaboratively with states on a national strategy to help small
businesses and local units of government; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Speaker of the United
States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and
members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee
on Commerce and Tourism.
By unanimous consent the House considered House
Resolution No. 357 out of numerical order.
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire
membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House
Resolution No. 357.

Whereas,
It is with great appreciation that we thank Representative John Chirkun as his

Representative Chirkun was first elected to this legislative body in 2014 to
represent the people of the Twenty-second District, comprising the city of
Roseville and part of the city of Warren. For the past six years, he has served
his district and all of Michigan with integrity and honor; and
Whereas,
John Chirkun brought a wealth of experience to Lansing, including time as a
city council member and mayor of the city of Roseville, almost 30 years with
the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department, and service in the United States Air
Force. He is also a graduate of the State Police Instructor’s School and the
Wayne County Police Academy. His experiences and education have provided
him with a real-world perspective on a number of issues — including public
safety, local revenue sharing, and taxes — to the benefit of his constituents
and all the people of Michigan; and
Whereas,
With a focus on improving roads, local government financing, and the needs of
his constituents, Representative Chirkun was a valuable member of several House
committees. He served as minority vice chair of the Regulatory Reform and Transportation
and Infrastructure committees. He also served on the Communications and
Technology; Financial Liability Reform; Military, Veterans, and Homeland
Security; and Oversight committees. He introduced and supported multiple bills
concerning labor, consumer protection, and trade. Additionally, each session he
sponsored a resolution declaring May as Foster Care Awareness Month to
highlight the needs of foster children in our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer
this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable John Chirkun for

Whereas, A lifelong resident of Hillsdale
County, Representative Leutheuser received his bachelor’s degree in political
economy from Hillsdale College. He spent time as a congressional intern in
Washington, D.C., but as a senior in college decided he would return to his
hometown. Representative Leutheuser spent more than 30 years working for and
managing the family business, Leutheuser Buick GMC. His experiences prior to
coming to Lansing helped shape some of the policies he would later pursue as a
representative; and
Whereas, First elected to the House of
Representatives in 2014, Eric Leutheuser served on several committees,
including as chair of Commerce and Trade and vice chair of Elections and
Financial Liability Reform. He also served as a member of the Communications
and Technology, Regulatory Reform, Tax Policy, Ways and Means, and Workforce
and Talent Development committees; and
Whereas, Over the past six years, he has
pursued legislation to enhance economic development in the state and
ensure continued recovery of Michigan’s economy. Several bills introduced by
Representative Leutheuser became public acts, including legislation
affecting neighborhood enterprise zones, sales tax exemptions, fire and police
retirement benefits, and vehicle dealer and repair facilities; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to

licensed insurance agent and served more than nine years in state government,
including on the staff of former Governor John Engler. Representative Webber
also served seven years on the Rochester Hills City Council, including three
years as vice president; and
Whereas, Representative Webber was first
elected to the House of Representatives in 2014. During his six years of
service, Representative Webber was a leader on many important issues. He served
as the chair of the Regulatory Reform Committee and the vice chair of the
Criminal Justice, Government Operations, and Transportation and Infrastructure
committees. He was also an active member of the Energy Policy, Insurance, Oversight,
Tax Policy, and Elections and Ethics committees. Among his many
accomplishments, Representative Webber sponsored legislation that was enacted
to provide sales tax fairness between retail and online sellers and to legalize
sports gambling in Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer
this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Michael Webber
for his notable contributions to this legislative body and to our state; and be
it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Webber as
evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
The question being on the adoption of the

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire

House
Resolution No. 363.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable
Robert Wittenberg.
Whereas, It is a true pleasure to recognize
the Honorable Robert Wittenberg as his time in the House of Representatives
comes to an end. Representative Wittenberg has served his constituents in the
Twenty‑seventh District — which includes Royal Oak Township and the
cities of Berkley, Ferndale, Hazel Park, Huntington Woods, Oak Park, and
Pleasant Ridge — and the people of our state with the utmost integrity; and
Whereas, Prior to his election to the House
in 2014, Representative Wittenberg received a bachelor’s degree in business
management from Indiana University. While earning his degree, he became active
in student government, serving as the Speaker of the House of the university’s
student association. After graduating, he worked as a life and health insurance
agent; and
Whereas, During his six-year tenure,
Representative Wittenberg has been an asset to the House of Representatives.
During his first and second terms, he served as the minority vice chair of the
Financial Liability Reform Committee. He was also a member of the Health
Policy, Insurance, and Law and Justice committees. During his final term, he
was appointed the minority vice chair of the Insurance Committee and served as
a member of the Financial Services and Tax Policy committees. Representative
Wittenberg’s policy priorities included reducing gun violence and bringing tax
relief and economic security to Michigan families. He was the founder and chair
of the legislative Gun Violence Prevention Caucus and the Better Classroom
Caucus; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to
commend and thank the Honorable Robert Wittenberg for his notable contributions
to this legislative body and our state; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Wittenberg as
evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
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
Concurrent Resolution No. 33.
A concurrent resolution of tribute for the
Honorable Stephen J. Markman.
Whereas,
It is a privilege to recognize Justice Stephen J. Markman as he completes his
service on the Michigan Supreme Court. Justice Markman has served the state’s
judiciary, the legal community, and the people of our state with distinction
during his lifetime of public service; and
Whereas,
Justice Markman brought a wealth of experience from the state and federal
levels, as well as the private sector, when he arrived at the Supreme Court in
1999. He served for seven years as chief counsel of the United States Senate
Subcommittee on the Constitution and as deputy chief counsel of the United
States Senate Judiciary Committee. Justice Markman was appointed by President
Ronald Reagan to serve as a U.S. Assistant Attorney General in 1985, when he
led the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Policy, which is the principal
policy development office within the department and coordinates the federal
judicial selection process. President George H. W. Bush appointed Justice
Markman to serve as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan in
1989. After his term as U.S. Attorney ended in 1993, Justice Markman practiced
law at Miller, Canfield, Paddock, and Stone until he was chosen to serve on the
Michigan Court of Appeals in 1995. He served on the Court of Appeals until
Governor John Engler elevated him to the Supreme Court in 1999; and
Whereas,
Following his appointment to the Supreme Court, the people of Michigan elected
Justice Markman three times, first to a partial term in 2000 and then to
full terms in 2004 and 2012. His colleagues later selected him as Chief Justice
for the 2017-2018 session; and
Whereas, During more
than two decades on the state’s highest court, Justice Markman was a thoughtful
and hardworking arbiter of the state’s constitution and laws. He left his mark
on the state and the legal community, writing thorough and well-argued
majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions during his time on the bench. His
contributions have also extended outside of his appointed and elective offices,
penning numerous articles and book chapters, teaching constitutional law at
Hillsdale College, and assisting Ukraine with the development of its most
recent constitution on behalf of the U.S. State Department in the 1990s; and
Whereas,
Throughout his time on our highest court, Justice Markman contributed immensely
to the application of criminal sentencing guidelines in cases such as People v Kimble, 470 Mich 305 (2004),
and People v Francisco, 474 Mich 82
(2006), where he penned pivotal opinions on Michigan’s criminal sentencing
scheme, including providing in Kimble
that “a sentence that is outside the appropriate guidelines sentence range, for
whatever reason, is appealable”; and
Whereas,
Justice Markman has demonstrated throughout his tenure strong support for the
constitutional foundations of federalism and the separation of powers, as well
as a reverence for the legislative branch of government, as evidenced most
recently in the landmark decision ruling in support of state constitutional law
in the case challenging gubernatorial emergency powers. In this opinion,
Justice Markman restored the constitutional balance of power while noting the
importance of co-equal branch communication and cooperation, and in doing so “left
open many avenues for the Governor and Legislature to work together to address”
the COVID-19 Pandemic; and
Whereas,
Justice Markman’s instructive opinions have guided both practice and the law.
In this vein, his dissent while on the Court of Appeals in a 1997 Headlee
Amendment case about determining what is considered a tax or a fee under the
constitutional provision became the building blocks for the Supreme Court
in Bolt v City of Lansing, 459 Mich
152 (1998) and the Legislature’s subsequent amendment of the law; and
Whereas,
Justice Markman has written impactful dissenting opinions while on the bench,
like his strong defense of the best interests of children in his dissenting
opinion in favor of the “one-parent doctrine” in In re Sanders, 495 Mich 394 (2014), or the resounding dissent
he wrote in support of self-defense in People v
Richardson, 490 Mich 115 (2011), stating:
“This Court must continue to speak
strongly and clearly on the right of self-defense, particularly with regard to
the sometimes difficult and insecure environments of some of our state’s
largest cities; and because the instructional error here was far from harmless,
implicating a quintessential right of a free society, on which the Second
Amendment of our Constitution is predicated—the right of personal
self-defense—I respectfully, but very strongly, dissent.”
; and
Whereas,
Justice Markman’s contributions have positively changed the way laws are
interpreted, resulting in a more faithful application of the law. Notably, on
the calculation of days and time in Haksluoto
v Mt Clements Regional Med Ctr, 500 Mich 304 (2017), Justice Markman
wrote for the majority, “There is no principled reason to treat the last day
differently from any other—the abacus bead does not slide over until the day is
over,” ultimately holding that the statute of limitations period is tolled when
a notice of intent is filed on the last day of the limitations period; and
Whereas,
Justice Markman’s work on the Supreme Court and his steadfast commitment to our
state will be missed. His principled efforts and commitment to the rule of law
will offer guidance to those who follow him into the legal field and the state’s
judiciary for years to come. Perhaps most importantly, his respect for the
Legislature as an institution and the rule of law has unquestionably improved
state government and, by extension, our society as a whole; now therefore, be
it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we offer this
expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Stephen J. Markman for
his notable contributions to our state; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Justice Markman as evidence of
our gratitude and best wishes.
The question being on the adoption of the
resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
______
The Speaker resumed the Chair.
By
unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 355 out of
numerical order.
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire
membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House
Resolution No. 355.
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial
for Lawrence B. Lindemer, former member of the House of Representatives.
Whereas,
The members of this legislative body were saddened to hear of the passing of
Lawrence “Larry” Lindemer. With his sharp mind and legal acumen, he diligently
represented his constituents in Ingham County during his two years of
service in the House of Representatives; and
Whereas,
Lawrence Lindemer was born in Syracuse, New York, later settling in Stockbridge,
Michigan, which he would call home for decades. He received undergraduate and
legal degrees from the University of Michigan in preparation for his future
legal career. In between earning those degrees, he served his country as a
second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. He worked as
an assistant prosecuting attorney for Ingham County in 1949 and 1950, the year
of his election to the House of Representatives; and
Whereas, From 1951 to 1952, Lawrence Lindemer served in
this legislative body as the representative for the then Second District of
Ingham County. His intellect and talents were put to good use, as he worked on
a wide array of policy issues as a member of the Educational Institutions,
Geological Survey, Judiciary, Juvenile Corrections, Retirement, and Revision
and Amendment of the Constitution standing committees; and
Whereas,
Lawrence Lindemer continued his eminently distinguished career after his time
in the Legislature. He served on the Hoover Commission to recommend
administrative changes in the federal government in the early to mid-1950s.
Upon leaving Washington, D.C., and returning to Michigan, his accomplishments
progressed back home. Michigan Supreme Court Justice, University of Michigan
Regent, and Republican State Central Committee chair are among the many
esteemed positions he held. He also built a storied career as an attorney; and
Whereas,
A giant in the fields of law, politics, and public service, Lawrence Lindemer
is an illustrious representative of the Legislature and the state. His family
can take great pride in his contributions and achievements; now, therefore, be
it
Resolved by the House of Representatives,
That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Lawrence
B. Lindemer, a member of this legislative body from 1951 to 1952; and be it
further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Lindemer family as
evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
The question being on the adoption of the
resolution,
Rep. Cole
moved that consideration of the resolution be postponed temporarily.
The motion
prevailed.
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire
membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House
Resolution No. 354.
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial
for J. Bob Traxler, former member of the Michigan House of Representatives and
the United States House of Representatives.
Whereas, The members of this legislative body
were saddened to learn of the passing of Bob Traxler. He represented the areas
around Saginaw Bay and the Thumb region for more than three decades. A skilled
negotiator with a big heart, he dedicated his life to public service and
improving the communities and state that he loved; and
Whereas, Born in Kawkawlin, Bob Traxler
graduated from T.L. Handy High School in Bay City and earned a bachelor’s
degree in political science from Michigan State University. After serving his
country in the United States Army, he received a law degree from the Detroit
College of Law and became an assistant prosecutor in Bay County. In 1962, he
was first elected to the state House of Representatives; and
Whereas, Bob Traxler served as a member of
this legislative body for 12 years, distinguishing himself as a conscientious
and dedicated public servant. Representative Traxler was an active member on
several committees, including serving as the chair of the House Judiciary
Committee in his final term. In his second term, his peers elected him majority
floor leader. Among his many legislative accomplishments, he is best remembered
for his leadership on legalizing bingo games for charitable purposes, for which
he received the nickname “Bingo Bob”; and
Whereas, Bob Traxler
left the Michigan House of Representatives in 1974 upon his election to the
United States House of Representatives. Over the next 19 years, he would rise
in Congress to become a leader on the House Appropriations Committee. Earning a
reputation as a consummate dealmaker, he was a strong advocate for Great Lakes
funding and always worked to ensure Michigan received its fair share of federal
funding; and
Whereas, Bob Traxler’s public service did not
end with his legislative career. He won statewide election to the board of
trustees of his alma mater, Michigan State University, in 1992, and, upon his
resignation from that board, was appointed to the Mackinac Island State Park
Commission in 2000; and
Whereas, Bob Traxler was a tireless advocate
for Michigan and the communities he loved. Always willing to listen to the
concerns of his constituents, his legacy lives on with the many generations he
mentored and the example he set. He will not soon be forgotten; now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives,
That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of J.
Bob Traxler, a member of this legislative body from 1963 to 1974 and the United
States House of Representatives from 1974 to 1992; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be
transmitted to the Traxler family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his
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. 356.
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial
for Alma G. Stallworth, former member of the House of Representatives.
Whereas,
It is with great sadness that the members of this legislative body learned of
the passing of Alma G. Stallworth. She served her constituents in
Detroit and Wayne County and the people of our entire state with distinction in
a career that covered four decades in the House of Representatives. She leaves
behind a remarkable record of service which is a model for everyone who follows
her into public life; and
Whereas, A native of Little Rock, Arkansas,
Alma G. Stallworth ultimately made the Detroit area her home and found numerous
ways to serve her community over the years. She attended Highland Park Junior
College, the Merrill Palmer Institute, and Wayne State University and was
active in religious and social organizations. She also worked as a day care
director before she was first elected to the House in 1970; and
Whereas,
Alma G. Stallworth served ten terms in the House of Representatives during
three separate stints over the span of 34 years, shaping a generation of
leaders and leaving her fingerprints on many important policy debates. During
her career, Representative Stallworth was a leading figure in public utilities
and communications policy, serving as chair, co-chair, and minority vice chair
of the House Public Utilities Committee in the 1980s and 1990s. She did
important work on foster care and child abuse and championed legislation to
protect seniors and consumers during her time in Lansing; and
Whereas,
Alma G. Stallworth was a driving force for equality and representation during
her career. She chaired the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus and was a founder
of the Black Caucus Foundation which, among other things, helped improve
opportunities for Black staffers in the Legislature and across state
government. She was also an advocate for women in government and numerous other
important causes over the course of her life; and
Whereas,
After completing her final term, Alma G. Stallworth accepted an appointment on
the Detroit Board of Education, continuing her service to her community. She
also modeled public service at home throughout her life, as well as on the
House floor. Her two sons, Keith and Thomas, also served in this legislative
body and their interest in public service is a testament to her example; and
Whereas,
Alma G. Stallworth was a dedicated public servant who cared deeply about her
constituents, enhancing opportunity for everyone, and making thoughtful public
policy. Upon her passing, we offer our condolences to her family and friends.
We hope that they may find comfort in the knowledge that the community as a
whole shares in their bereavement and that the legacy of Alma G. Stallworth’s
contributions will long continue to enrich our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved
by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest
tribute to honor the memory of Alma G. Stallworth, a member of this legislative
body from 1971 to 1974, 1983 to 1996, and 2003 to 2004; and be it further
Resolved,
That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Stallworth family as
evidence of our lasting esteem for her memory.
