We rise today to give our best
wishes to Adam Reames who has been an invaluable resource to us for years.
First, on our Democratic policy staff, and then for many years as the Assistant
Secretary of the Senate in the Secretary of the Senate’s office. Adam is calm,
cool, and collected, and can work with anyone. Everyone in this room can name a
time when Adam helped them get their job done. Adam was a key component of
making the machine that is the Michigan Senate run smoothly, and he is already
missed.
Adam, thank you for your years of
service and great work for the Michigan Senate and for the state of Michigan.
We wish you the best in your endeavors down the street; we’re glad you’re not
going to be too far away. We look forward to working with you in your new role.

In The
Chair: President
The Senate agreed to the title of
the bill.
Protests
Senators
Hertel, Alexander, Bullock, Moss, Wojno, McMorrow, Polehanki, Bayer, Geiss, Ananich,
McCann, Chang, Brinks and Santana, under their constitutional right of protest
(Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of Senate Bill No. 716.
Senator
Hertel moved that the statement he made during the discussion of the bill be
printed as his reasons for voting “no.”
The
motion prevailed.
Senator Hertel’s statement, in
which Senators Alexander, Bullock, Moss, Wojno, McMorrow, Polehanki, Bayer,
Geiss, Ananich, McCann, Chang, Brinks and Santana concurred, is as follows:
I’m not going to delve heavily
into the policy here. I think we all know that this legislation is doomed for
failure at the end and is more about politics than anything else. While I would
like to advise you that not fixing the roads is not a real policy option or
really a good political one, you make your own decisions there.
I will stand to put some things
on the record though. Senate Bill No. 716 contains an unconstitutional
legislative veto that has been clearly defined as unconstitutional under
Michigan law. I really hoped that during the 2018 lame-duck session, we had
seen the last of these bills that seek to attempt to strip power from those
whose offices you used to hold but you don’t anymore. And yet, here we are
today.
If enacted into law, this bill
would set a dangerous precedent that the Legislature could overturn an act of
the State Transportation Commission by a concurrent resolution. That is clearly
unconstitutional and you don’t have to take my word for it. In fact, the
Michigan Supreme Court and several attorneys general, republican and democrat,
have noted that in Michigan, the Legislature must only act by presenting bills
to the Governor for her signature. So, while this bill itself may be presented
to the Governor, its plain language provides that the Legislature can—in the
future, and without consulting the Governor—overturn an action of the
commission via concurrent resolution, without any bill required.
Senate Bill No. 716 is an attempt
to circumvent the Constitution and give the Legislature an unrestrained ability
to take legislative action using something other than a bill presented to the
Governor. Normally, I am highly protective of legislative authority—my family
has had over 100 years of service to this building—but with this unchecked
discretion to undo the proper exercise of this agency’s authority without
submitting a bill to the Governor, it is clearly unconstitutional. This is not
about trying to get something done. This is not about doing anything, other
than trying to make a political statement. I think it’s a mistake. So, I
encourage you—you all swore an oath when you took this body, putting your hand
on to protect the United States Constitution and the Michigan Constitution. If
you’ve read the Michigan Constitution, this bill makes absolutely no sense and
I encourage you to vote “no.”
By unanimous consent the Senate
proceeded to the order of
General Orders
The
motion prevailed, and the President, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, designated
Senator Zorn as Chairperson.
After
some time spent therein, the Committee arose; and the President, Lieutenant
Governor Gilchrist, having resumed the Chair, the Committee reported back to
the Senate, favorably and without amendment, the following bill:
House Bill No. 5174, entitled
A bill
to amend 1956 PA 218, entitled “The insurance code of 1956,” by amending
section 1915 (MCL 500.1915), as amended by 2006 PA 644.
The bill was placed on the order
of Third Reading of Bills.
By unanimous consent the Senate
proceeded to the order of
Resolutions
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 22.
A concurrent resolution calling
for the responsible use of the state’s transportation bonding authority and to
state the Legislature’s intent regarding future debt service payments.
(This resolution was reported by
the Committee on Appropriations on Wednesday, February 26. See Senate Journal
No. 22, p. 292.)
The
question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was
adopted.
The
motion prevailed.
Senator Stamas’ statement is as
follows:
Before you today is a resolution
to re-establish checks and balances regarding how our state prioritizes
taxpayer dollars when it comes to transportation funding.
As you know, the Governor last
year proposed a massive $2.5 billion tax increase that would have made Michigan’s
gas tax the highest in the nation. It was overwhelmingly opposed by the
Michigan people, and even the leaders within her own party called it “extreme.”
Earlier this year, just four months after she vetoed a $400 million increase to
fix local roads, the Governor took unilateral action to pay for some highway
repairs by proposing to bond for $3.5 billion, which will cost over $5 billion
to pay off.
The Michigan Constitution clearly
intended that the Legislature be involved in transportation bonding decisions.
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 22 would clearly define the Legislature’s
intent for road bonding and outline how much we’re willing to spend on debt
payment. We should not exceed the current levels of spending on our state debt
and no transportation bonds should exceed the expected life of the road. So,
this resolution states that the Legislature’s intent is not to increase future
debt service spending beyond fiscal year 2020 levels and not to authorize debt service
spending on bonds longer than ten years.
The Michigan people need an
affordable solution that fixes the roads and doesn’t saddle them down with
decades of debt. Instead of adding billions of dollars in state debt, the
Governor should come to the table and work with the Legislature on a
reasonable, long-term plan to continue the 2015 proposal that has been now
implemented and improve the roads for our state. I ask for your support.
