Heavenly Father, from the dust of the ground You formed us; with Your hands You crafted us; with Your Word You led us; and with Your Spirit You breathed life into us.

Lead us as You see fit, Father. Guide our footsteps so that our feet will not slip. You are our Good Shepherd; we know Your voice and another we will not follow. We are Your sons; we are Your daughters. You have made us in Your image—mold us, shape our hearts to reflect Yours. Lord, lead our spirit to follow after You, and Father we surrender all to You, for we are Yours. We are Your children; we are Your clay. Lead us and we will follow; guide us and we will forever be grateful, for You alone are worthy of all honor and glory and praise. We lift You high above our doubts and our shortcomings. We surrender to You now and forever. You are our potter; we are Your clay. Use us as You please.

In the strong and mighty and powerful name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Motions and Communications

 

 

Senator Geiss entered the Senate Chamber.

 

Senator MacGregor moved that Senator McBroom be excused from today’s session.

The motion prevailed.

 

Senator Chang moved that Senators Ananich, Bullock and Hertel be temporarily excused from today’s session.

The motion prevailed.

 

Senator Chang moved that Senator Hollier be excused from today’s session.

Senator Bullock entered the Senate Chamber.

 

 

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

The motion prevailed.

Senator LaSata’s statement is as follows:

Colleagues, often what is lost when we are talking about fixing our roads is the people who actually fix our roads. Despite the inherent risk, they go to work each day putting in long, hard hours to fix and maintain our transportation system. Last Wednesday, southwest Michigan unfortunately lost one of these dedicated men. Kevin White, a maintenance worker in the Michigan Department of Transportation’s Coloma Garage, died from injuries sustained when a tire from a passing truck struck him while he was clearing large debris from the shoulder of I-94 in Berrien County. Mr. White was a nine-year MDOT employee and the Benton Township Supervisor. He leaves behind a wife and daughter and many family and friends and colleagues who loved him. At 48, he was tragically taken from them far too soon. Kevin’s loss is a sobering reminder of the dangers of his profession and of our responsibilities as drivers. It is up to us, individually, to do the right thing and focus on the road to help keep us, our precious cargo, and other motorists safe on the road every time we get behind the wheel, especially when driving through work zones.

 

A moment of silence was observed in memory of Kevin White, maintenance worker in the Department of Transportation.

Statements

 

 

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

The motion prevailed.

Senator Bullock’s statement is as follows:

I stand here representing several caucuses, including the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus, the Senate Democratic Caucus, and the Detroit Caucus to request a moment of silence, as mere words cannot express the tremendous sadness and hurt felt after learning of the passing of the Honorable and retired Congress­man John Conyers, the Dean and longest serving African American of the United States Legislature, and for me personally, more than a role model. He represented me almost my entire life and I recently had the pleasure of representing him as his State Senator, living in the 4th District. We could speak for days about this man, but I’m sure I speak for many when I say we have lost a truly committed humanitarian that was a champion for social justice, human, and civil rights. Congressman John Conyers was a noble public servant that made sure the voiceless were always heard. He was a true giant for our community, the country, and beyond. He stood tall in the midst of the 1967 Detroit rebellion, was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and will be remembered for pushing a series of progressive and liberal causes, especially from his powerful perch as the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

Congressman Conyers co-sponsored the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and was the primary reason why a day honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. exists. He was a king who never lost his common touch; a role model who had tremendous impact over five decades. The Congressman was a wonderful human being who fought day in and day out for not only his constituents in the African American community, but for all human beings. Like many, I am personally thankful to have had the opportunity to know him. He was beyond kind, but never swayed when it came to representing the people of the world. When we last sat down he advised me to always support the people you serve and in your community, the state of Michigan, and always protect the greater good of all communities while providing uplift.

His legacy will never be forgotten, so we request a moment to celebrate and reflect on the life of the Dean, Congressman John Conyers.

 

A moment of silence was observed in memory of John James Conyers, Jr., former member of the United States House of Representatives.
