be with us today. We ask that You are with them, You give them comfort, You
give them peace. We think of those who have lost loved ones. We ask that Your
healing hand be placed upon them. We ask that You give
them comfort.
We think of those who lead us—we think of our President, our Governor. We think of those who pastor us at our churches. We ask that You are with them. Also, we ask that You are with so many during these holiday seasons who struggle. We ask that You are with them today.
We ask now that You bless this session this week. We ask that You are with us in the upcoming weeks. We remember what this holiday truly is about—that Your Son was born to die on the cross to forgive us for our sins. We pray now that You bless this day and every day this week, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

Resolutions
House Concurrent Resolution No. 14.
A concurrent resolution relative to secondary road patrol funds for counties providing road patrol services to cities and villages.
Whereas, Section 77 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.77, provides funding for county secondary road patrol services pursuant to an agreement with the Office of Criminal Justice, which, pursuant to Executive Order No. 1989—4, is now the Office of Highway Safety Planning within the Department of State Police. An agreement also provides a maintenance of law enforcement effort standard for counties providing these secondary road patrol services, unless it is recognized that the reduction was due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, Section 76 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.76, permits road patrol services to be provided by county sheriff departments to cities and villages. This section also provides that a road patrol agreement is void if the city or village reduces the number of sworn law enforcement officers below the highest number employed at any time within the immediately preceding 36 months, unless the Michigan Legislature, by concurrent resolution, recognizes that the reduction was due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, Section 77 of 1846 RS 14, MCL 51.77, provides a formula for funding county secondary road patrol services. This formula permits road patrol services provided by county sheriff departments to cities and villages to be eligible for secondary road patrol funding as long as the city or village complies with the MCL 51.76 law enforcement maintenance of effort requirement, unless any reduction is recognized to be due to cuts in general services due to economic conditions; and
Whereas, In all of Michigan’s counties,
cities, and villages, general services have been reduced as a result of serious
economic difficulties. These reductions in services have occurred in direct
reaction to economic conditions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That, for Fiscal Year 2022, counties, cities, and villages in Michigan have been required to reduce general services because of economic conditions and are not reducing law enforcement services as stipulated in section 76 or 77 of 1846 RS 14; and be it further
Resolved, That counties, cities, and villages have met the necessary terms of their agreements for road patrol services and secondary road patrol funding as they relate to maintenance of effort.
The House of Representatives has adopted the concurrent resolution.
Senator LaSata moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

Senator Barrett’s statement is as follows:
I just briefly wanted to recognize someone
from my office who has made a really significant commitment and contribution to
the residents of the 24th Senate District who I have the privilege to
represent. Joining me is Lizbeth Urbieta who joined my office earlier this
year, really stepping into a lot of challenges on behalf of the constituents of
my district, most particularly with their unemployment-related issues and
hardships that they were facing, as well as other constituent issues that were
going on. She did that remarkably well and
I had countless instances where I was in my district and people would approach
me and really praise the work that Lizbeth had done on their behalf. It really
struck me as something that was a lot different than just general constituent
interactions that I had been used to, and while they were frustrated with the
circumstance they found themselves in, they were truly thankful for the help
that she offered them.
While we would love to have her continuing in my district, she is moving to Texas in two days—her fiancé took a job in Texas. Now, she’s originally from California and this is her first not-even-winter—it’s still fall here in Michigan. A few days ago when we had a little bit of snow fall, she was talking about how great the snow was and how much she enjoyed it and how wonderful it was. I said, Well, when it’s 30 degrees and there’s snow on the ground, that is not a good reference point for what the snow is like in Michigan. She’s getting what I consider to be the exact right dose of snow before she leaves here in just a few days to move to Texas where it will be quite a bit warmer and much sunnier and she will not get the rest of the snow that we all deal with through February, March, and sometimes into April.
I really wanted to thank her for her work in my office and on behalf of the constituents of the 24th District. Thank you so much.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Barrett’s statement is as follows:
I wanted to just briefly bring attention to the anniversary of today’s date—the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor—that really profoundly changed the trajectory of our country and really the trajectory of the entire world. The events that led up to that, and certainly really the events that followed, were so meaningful in our country’s history.
I spoke at this podium a few months ago when we were privileged and honored to pass legislation naming a memorial highway in my district for Francis Flaherty, an ensign in the Navy who lost his life in Pearl Harbor on the USS Oklahoma when he was trying to save the lives of other shipmates when the ship sank and he ultimately lost his life. His remains went unrecovered at sea for more than two years. They were finally recovered but they were unidentifiable by the Navy at that point, and he was buried in an unmarked grave. Later—decades later—through DNA evidence and other forensic techniques, they were able to identify his remains and we were just able to welcome him back to Charlotte earlier this year in the summer and we were so thankful for that. It was nearly 80 years after he lost his life saving others, and there are countless other examples of that.
Those of us who served with Representative
Gary Glenn in the State House recall the stories of him bringing his dad back
to Pearl Harbor. His father was a Pearl Harbor veteran and he would speak about
just the ambush of the attack and the surprise that they had. Gary’s dad’s best
friend was 17 years old when he died manning a gun at Pearl Harbor. Stories
like that I think are really important that we remember to tell the next
generation, because we really don’t have any Pearl Harbor veterans, all that
many of them left.
I believe in Michigan we are down to our very last remaining Pearl Harbor
survivor who lives in the
Jackson area.
Today, especially on this milestone anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the events leading up to World War II, I just thought it would be important to recognize that here on the Senate floor.
