Rep. David LaGrand, from the 75th District, offered the following invocation:
“Creator God,
We pause before another day of session to give You thanks.
We thank You for our gifts of free will, judgement, and our ability to act.
We thank You for the gift of Michigan, our home, and the communities we love here, who loves us.
Help us to honor our gifts.
When we speak in this place, help us speak in love.
When we examine one another’s motives, help us to start from love, and to presume motives of love and empathy from those we may disagree with.
Help us to work, not fight. Help us to build, not in.
We confess that our wisdom is limited.
Forgive us when we make the wrong decision, or our decisions don’t achieve our intent.
We confess that our pride and vanity can be stumbling blocks to our best service.
Forgive us when we bask in flattery, and our resolve to do the right is weakened.
Creator God, we know, when we pause and ponder, that the world is not ours to save. This is Your world. We are all weak, fallible, perishable creatures.
Help us when we try.
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 126.
Whereas, The members of this legislative body were saddened to learn of the passing of former Representative Margaret O’Connor. A strong advocate for limited government, she represented parts of Ann Arbor and the rural areas around it in the Fifty-second District with an unwavering resolve; and
Whereas, Margaret O’Connor was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, and would grow up to be a high school state champion swimmer. She attended Creighton University where she earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing education and met her husband, Gerald O’Connor. Married in 1953, she moved to Ann Arbor where she continued to work in nursing. While raising her family of 10 children, she became active in local politics, serving on the Lodi Township Board, Lodi Township Planning Commission, the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners, and the Washtenaw County Planning Commission. She also earned another bachelor’s degree in political science and public administration from Eastern Michigan University. In 1982, she was elected to the first of five terms in the Michigan House of Representatives; and
Whereas, Margaret O’Connor
spent her 10 years in this chamber championing limited government spending and
decreased regulation. She regularly opposed budget bills that included spending
she felt was inappropriate and wasteful. A conservative leader within this
chamber, she ably served on committees dealing with labor, public health,
mental health, state affairs, and civil rights issues, and was minority vice
chair on committees related to constitutional and women’s issues. Her integrity
and dedication earned the respect and admiration of her constituents; and
Whereas, Margaret O’Connor remained active in her community long after her time in the House of Representatives. She became an expert in local history, co-founding the Lodi Township Historic Preservation Group and working to restore the Lodi Township Cemetery and the township hall; and
Whereas, Margaret O’Connor lived a long, full life dedicated to public service and family. Her decades of contributions to her community and our state have made a lasting legacy in which her family can take pride; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Margaret O’Connor, a member of this legislative body from 1983 to 1992; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the O’Connor family as evidence of our lasting esteem for her memory.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

Whereas, On June 10, 1935, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith first met and what grew out of that meeting was Alcoholics Anonymous; and
Whereas, Out of Alcoholics Anonymous, the 12 step program, a set of spiritual guiding principles to assist in recovery from alcoholism was developed; and
Whereas, Alcoholics Anonymous has been a positive guide for countless people the world over as they have battled the disease of alcoholism; and
Whereas, Numerous people, both in America and worldwide, are sober because of their experiences in Alcoholics Anonymous; and
Whereas, The 12 step program developed by Alcoholics Anonymous has been adopted by numerous other groups around the world to assist people struggling with other addictions, such as narcotics, gambling, and overeating; and

I am submitting a no-vote due to I do not believe we as legislators
should limit people’s ability to use the knowledge and experience to advance
their future or career.”

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
