Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure manners.
Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues.
Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Senator Schmidt entered the Senate
Chamber.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Shirkey’s statement is as follows:
Today is yet another bittersweet day for the Senate as we say goodbye to Vickie Dolata, payroll administrator for Human Resources, after more than seven years of providing exemplary service in that role. She’s here on the floor with me today and is joined by her husband Tom up in the Gallery. Also in the Gallery are many friends and family tuning in to watch remotely as we thank her for her service.
Vickie was hired in August 2013 as a Senate payroll and accounting specialist and quickly began improving workflows—that’s music to my ears, Vickie, improving processes. For timesheet submissions and approvals, streamlining the processes behind onboarding of new employees and employee departures, and playing a critical role in the implementation and rollout of new services and systems—Lord knows we have plenty of new services and systems based on changes in technology and those require a lot of attention.
Vickie was instrumental in the successful onboarding of over 100 new employees following the 2018 election—that’s a big lift—expertly processing countless personnel actions, tasks, and direct deposit forms, and more to ensure a smooth transition into office for the incoming Senators and staff. After several years of honing her expertise, Vickie was promoted to payroll administrator in 2019, a position in which she has excellently performed.
While Vickie’s job was largely behind the scenes and many of us may never have crossed paths with Vickie, her efforts were certainly appreciated by countless individuals within the institution. In fact, she performed what many would consider one of the most vital roles within the institution apart from legislating and serving constituents—she ensured that all Senators and staff received their paychecks and compensation in a timely manner.
She also served an important role within her department, where she made many friends and friendships and sports-related rivalries with those she worked alongside—she is an avid fan of a university south of here called Ohio State University—I’m sorry Vickie, I can’t say it. In her retirement, Vickie looks forward to taking many road trips with Tom, her husband, to Ohio and South Carolina to visit stepsons Warren and Ryan and grandchildren Sierra, Andrew, Zach, and Alex in addition to her siblings, nieces, and nephews. She also looks forward to traveling with friends cheering on her favorite team—Ohio State University.
It is with great pleasure, Vickie, that we pay this well-deserved tribute to you for your service, for your contributions to the Senate that will last far beyond your service. For that, I’d ask my colleagues and those guests on the floor to join me in recognizing Vickie, encouraging her in her retirement, and thanking her for her service.

Statements
The motion prevailed.
Senator Geiss’ statement is as follows:
Today is a bittersweet day for Senate District No. 6 because someone who has been with me from when I was in the House of Representatives—started as an intern in our office in 2015—moved up the ranks, so to speak, from intern to our constituent relations person—I don’t call people by furniture—to our legislative director, and then came over here to the Senate with me as my chief of staff. Stephanie McLain is like family. We have a saying in our office which is, “Once Team Geiss, always Team Geiss.” Today is her last official day with the Michigan Senate and with the Michigan Legislature.
She has just been an invaluable member of the team—my right arm, my left brain, we have laughed, we have cried, we threw her into the deep end of the pool with no floaties and the pool was on fire when she joined us—and she’s just been an outstanding, outstanding person.
I’ll ask you all to join me in wishing her the best. She is going on to do other amazing things, including joining the world of parenting. I hope we’ll all wish her good luck, and she always has a home with us. I want to express my sincerest, deepest gratitude and thanks and appreciation for Stephanie McLain.
Senator Barrett’s statement is as follows:
I was just going to introduce a special guest. Joining me on the floor today is my daughter Gwen. She’s 3, and I think this might be the first time she’s been with me while we’ve been in session on the Senate floor. She’s here because we’re giving mom a little bit of a break with the new baby at home so she’s joining me on the floor. She’s already been to Senator Victory’s Judiciary and Public Safety Committee this morning, learned all about cross-jurisdictional prosecution, and was here on the floor to learn about industrial hemp and other assorted things we have to take up. She’s got plenty of questions too, and I just wanted to thank my friends who welcomed her to the floor and all of your hospitality.
Senator LaSata’s statement is as follows:
Mr. President, today I’d like to share some quotes from a former member of this body.
“The Governor needs to stop trying to cover this up and come clean about the sweetheart deals and cronyism that is rampant.”
“Perhaps more alarming than the acts of secrecy themselves has been his response since news of these secret efforts have become public…he’s doubled down on his efforts to not only maintain the shroud of secrecy, but even legitimize it.”
“Until he comes clean with this information, the Governor is going to continue to have a serious problem claiming he’s representing the people of Michigan.”
The Senator who gave this righteous, fiery speech about an outgoing administration official receiving a separation payout, at taxpayer expense, was Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer in 2013. Tuesday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer insisted she could not share details of the multiple separation agreements she reached with former officials in her administration. These are officials who might have information about her deadly nursing home policy or the abject failures of her unemployment agency. So now this former champion of transparency and warrior against secrecy has used your money, taxpayers, to buy the silence of her former employees. To paraphrase the words of former Senator Whitmer, until she comes clean with this information, the Governor is going to continue to have a serious problem claiming she’s representing the people of Michigan.
Senator Stamas’ statement is as follows:
I rise today to thank the members of this body who supported over $4 billion in additional funds to combat COVID-19 and its effects. This brings our total investment since the pandemic began to more than $8 billion total. For some perspective, the state’s entire General Fund budget this year is $10 billion, so we have spent the equivalent of 80 percent of the state’s entire General Fund budget for this fiscal year on COVID-19.
But apparently that’s not enough for some members in this room. Members across the aisle insist we must spend more and spend it now, but many of the same members making that claim sat in committee hearings with the Whitmer administration when they told us their spending plans for much of this money aren’t even finalized yet.
When billions came into the state last year for unemployment assistance, over a billion dollars spent went out to criminals. While thousands of Michiganders were unable to get the assistance they needed, fraud ran rampant. It seems as if the only people who could get money were criminals and former appointees receiving severance payments.
Contrary to what you may hear from my colleagues across the aisle, our role in appropriating federal funds is not simply to give the Governor a blank check. We have the responsibility to make sure this money is spent wisely and gets to those who actually need it. The relief plan we passed this week prioritizes getting shots in the arm, getting kids back to school, and getting small businesses back on their feet.
There’s still more need and more supplementals to come and when the
Governor provides a plan to deploy the remaining federal dollars—more than just
a one-line-item request—we will be happy to work with her. Until then, Senate
Republicans will continue to appropriate pandemic relief dollars in a way that
actually helps Michiganders most in need.
