Senator Curtis Hertel, Jr. of the 23rd District offered the following invocation:
God of eternal hope and healing, the United States awakens again to the news of lives lost in an act of terrorism—this time in the city of Buffalo. We heal wounds like these lightly, quickly moving from one tragedy to another with no way of knowing fully how to grieve, how to express our outrage, or how to fully understand what happened and what we can do to prevent it from happening again. We feel powerless. We feel hopeless. We feel grief upon grief compounding until we just stop feeling anything at all as we desensitize ourselves to it.
Abide with us as we face fully into the grief and the fear, turning not our faces away from the horror of it all. Transform our outrage and our grief into action. Let the power of Your love embolden us and empower us to face fully the ongoing impact of race hate here in America. Help us to end the cycles of violence and enact legislation that reduces the threat of gun violence and mass shootings.
Help us to face fully into the possessive investment in whiteness in the United States and atone for the sins of race hate and racial animus. Stir us to repent for the many ways we are complicit in seeding the lies of white dominance that fuel racial hatred and fear. Give us the courage to seed truth and shape a world that understands, embraces, and maintains your vision of shalom where all are known and loved for who they are and who You have called them to be. Only then will violence end. Only then will we know the healing power of Your enduring love.
Until then, help us all attend to the grief of those who have loved ones in Buffalo that were tragically gunned down in this new act of race hate. Their grief is our grief. Their anguish is our anguish. Their rage is our rage. May attentiveness to their grieving hearts also be the work of our hands as we come together to heal and to build a world where hate has no home. Amen.
The Assistant President pro tempore, Senator Theis, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Senator Barrett’s statement is as follows:
I wanted to just take a few moments to thank and appreciate a departing member of my staff. Brenden Allen is leaving my office. He started as an intern in my office during the pandemic and is now my district director. He graduated from Michigan State about a week and a half ago and got his degree in finance, which was a great move on his part. A lot of interns—I’m sure many of you have had this same experience—come from the political science programs at the various universities, and my first piece of advice to all of them is to not get a degree in political science. So, when I met with Brenden, I’m like, Don’t get a political science degree. He’s like, Oh, I’m getting a finance degree. I’m like, I have no other life advice for you at this point.
He’s also a track athlete, a cross country athlete. I have a bit of experience, and Senator Hollier can appreciate this, we have to run 2 miles on the Army Physical Fitness Test every year for our requirement and so I asked him, How fast can you run 2 miles? He said, Well, I never just run 2 miles; who does that, it’s an absurdly low amount of time to run. I said, If you only had to run 2 miles, how fast could you do it in? He thought for a minute and said, Probably a little less than 9 minutes; the fastest I ever ran 2 miles in my life was exactly 12 minutes and 59 seconds. I said, I can’t even drive as fast you can run, and he goes 13 miles all the time just for leisure.
He’s been a great addition to our office. We are definitely excited for his opportunity—he’s going to work in finance for Stellantis and hopefully has an enjoyable experience there. We hope he continues to be part of the Barrett Brigade, and we’re excited for his opportunity. He’s done a fantastic job helping people with unemployment issues and other things like so many of our staff in our office have done. Really proud of him, proud to see him walk across the stage last weekend at Michigan State, and excited for his next opportunity. Let’s go Brenden.

Whereas, The Black McDonald’s Operators Associations in Michigan encompass 14 independent Black franchisees, over 70 restaurants located in 15 densely populated Black communities, and employ over 2,800 employees; and

Whereas, The Black McDonald’s Operators Associations in Michigan are committed throughout the year, both by sponsoring and being active in communities, like the longstanding Turkey Family Giveaway, Celebrating Black History Makers of Today student scholarship program, and the Breakfast with Black Santa events. Other events include, but are not limited to, youth reading and back-to-school initiatives, youth career development, public servants and frontline workers appreciation programs, job and opportunity fairs, arts, culture, and music festivals, as well as city and neighborhood community events; and
Whereas, The meaningful efforts of Black McDonald’s operators throughout our state engage local neighborhoods and embody the true spirit of family and community; and

In our state, the Black operators of the Michigan Operators Business Association encompass 14 independent Black franchisees over 70 restaurants, of which over 20 are located in densely-populated Black communities. They employ almost 3,000 employees. The Black operators of the Michigan Operators Business Association are committed participants across Michigan counties throughout the year, sponsoring and being active in all our communities like the longstanding Turkey Family Giveaway, Celebrating Black History Makers of Today student scholarship program, Breakfast with Black Santa, special events, youth initiatives to promote reading and back-to-school drives, programs of appreciation for public safety and health care workers and groups such as nurses, fire, police, EMS departments, parks and recreation, youth career development, youth and opportunity fairs, arts, culture, music community festivals, and city neighborhood resource and safety community events.
The tenacity and courage of these African American entrepreneurs and pioneers laid the foundation for what has become the most successful group of African American entrepreneurs in the United States today, and has paved the way for the National Black McDonald’s Operators Association to be partners and leaders, dedicated to providing resources across their communities in an effort to help build stronger neighborhoods.
So, join us as we celebrate May as the National Black McDonald’s Operators Association 50-year anniversary. In the Gallery I have guests—Monique Vann, McDonald’s owner-operator from southeast Michigan; and Shonta Wilkerson, director of government affairs from the McDonald’s corporate office in Chicago.
Senator Ananich’s statement is as follows:
Thank you Mr. President, I actually wanted to take a moment to commend the Senator from the 4th District for his resolution. I am very fortunate to have a mentor—a good friend—named Sam Cox, who owns and operates McDonald’s in the Flint area. When I was a teacher at Flint Northern High School, the amount of students who got their start in the workforce at the McDonald’s that Mr. Cox owns is too many to count. Scholarships, paying for programs, the amount of mentorship and involvement in the community that Mr. Cox and many other Black McDonald’s operators do in our community is immeasurable and is much appreciated. I want to take a moment to ask the Session Clerks to add my name in co-sponsorship because I don’t know how to do it on the computer so I thought I’d do it here in front of everybody.

Senate Resolution No. 140
The motion prevailed.
Senate Resolution No. 140.
A resolution to recognize May 16-20, 2022, as Michigan Home Education Week.
(This resolution was offered on Tuesday, May 17, rules suspended and consideration postponed. See Senate Journal No. 47, p. 719.)
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Senators Barrett, LaSata, Lauwers and Zorn were named co-sponsors of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Theis’ statement is as follows:
Before you is a resolution recognizing this week as Michigan Home Education Week, and I urge your support. Throughout our nation’s history, home schooling has been a fundamental form of educating our children. Many of our nation’s most memorable leaders were home-schooled, including Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, FDR, George Patton, and Frank Lloyd Wright. More recently, throughout the government-mandated closures, families across our state experienced home schooling, often whether they chose to or not. As a result, thousands of those families decided this was an opportunity to continue the benefits that home schooling offers and continued home schooling even after schools opened back up.
In part because of that experience, the historically small but dedicated contingent of our population choosing to home school their kids is growing—significantly. Thankfully, Michigan law affirms, “It is the natural, fundamental right of parents and legal guardians to determine and direct the care, teaching, and education of their children.” Make no mistake, Michigan’s home-educated students are equipped to be successful, informed, engaged, ethical, and productive citizens who enrich our society and contribute to the success of our state. Michigan parents who home-educate their children dedicate their time and talents to ensure their children’s academic, physical, psychological, social, and emotional needs are met.
These families should be proud of their commitment to their kids’ education and well-being. With this resolution recognizing May 16–20 as Michigan Home Education Week, the Michigan Senate commends them for their commitment to excellence in education.
By unanimous consent the Senate returned to the order of

Senators Hertel and Hollier moved that the statements they made during the discussion of the bill be printed as their reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
People are suffering now. Inflation is real, and the pain to Michigan families is real. While finding a job has never been easier in Michigan than any other time in our history, the average family budget is getting tighter and tighter. Now, there are a lot of things we can’t do on the Senate floor—we’re not going to solve global inflation here in the Senate—but we can make it a little easier, a little easier for families to send their kids to college, a little bit easier for families to be able to afford day care, a little easier for families to put gas in their gas tank.
But this plan has nothing to help families now. It reminds me of the old Popeye cartoon where you had a character named Wimpy, and Wimpy would say that he’d gladly pay you on Tuesday for a hamburger today, and that’s exactly what this Republican tax plan is—it’s Wimpy. No help now, just a promise for the future after an election, just another promise for a politician. You know it’s campaign season when you hear people put out proposals without actually going into a room to negotiate, without actually working on them with the other side of the aisle, just for a press release or tweet or whatever else. But when you refuse to even acknowledge the current pain that people are in, that you promised to give them a tax cut some day in the future but not now, you refuse to actually help them now. At the end of the day, this is just a promise but here’s the thing—you can’t buy gas with a tax cut in the future. You can’t buy groceries with a tax cut in the future. You can’t send your kids to summer camp with a tax cut in the future.
We are in serious times and Michigan’s people are suffering, but that doesn’t mean we need to be less serious. It means we need to be more serious. The Governor has made a proposal that helps Michigan families now. I am willing to sit down in any room in this Capitol to work with members on the other side of the aisle to come to an agreement to help families now. But until then, this is nothing but sound and fury signifying nothing. I ask for your “no” vote.
Senator Hollier’s statement is as follows:
The median income in the city of Detroit, for all who are aware, is $33,000. The reason I say that is because as we talk about what someone who needs relief is going to get, the people who are having the largest impact from inflation, they’re not going to get much—talking about around $50. As we talk about the difference between the plan we discussed in the substitute versus what we’re voting on right now, we’re talking about a ten‑fold increase for families that really need it. To say that we want to help folks, to say we care about people who are really in need and in danger, I think we should be centering on the people for whom the cost of living has been so high on, the people where that extra bit of diaper, the additional cost of formula is making such a huge impact. Those are the people we should be centered on. Saying, Hey, we’re going to give you $50 and that’s going to make a difference in your life. It won’t. Saying we’re going to give you $500 isn’t enough, but it’s ten times that. I hope we consider and think about alternatives that are going to provide people who have the least, who are already struggling the most, with real opportunities and real savings with money in their pockets today when they need them to make payments, when they need them to pay rent, when they need them to fix their car or do all the other things that come at the end of every month. I’d ask that we work on policies that are going to help people who are making $33,000 because they’re the ones who need it.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:
This substitute is simple. It gives us the opportunity to adopt the Governor’s plan to give Michiganders money back in their pockets right now. By supporting this substitute, we are recognizing that costs have risen for families and we should give them their money back now. We know that when a corporation wants to increase their profits, they just raise the prices, and we’ve certainly seen that throughout our inflationary crisis. But a family can’t raise their income just by raising a price on a good. A family is paying more for gas in their car, paying more to put food on their tables, paying more to send their kids to summer camp, all while they themselves haven’t gotten a raise. When the price of things goes up, it’s families who bear the brunt.
Your proposal gives no help for families this year. Our proposal—the Governor’s proposal—does. Under your plan, the average Michigan family making between $75,000 and $100,000 per year would get less than $200 per year in benefit from the income tax cut. A millionaire would get $18,000 per year; a multi-millionaire, $175,000 per year; a billionaire, $3.5 million per year. Under your income tax cut, a billionaire gets a yacht, a millionaire gets a new boat, and a family gets a dinghy. In the middle of a crisis, you’re going to use that as an excuse to give those who are the richest among us the largest part of a tax cut—but not even until next year.
These families can’t wait. It’s time for us to be worried about them. We can no longer subsidize tax cuts for the wealthy. We can no longer give the wealthy cookies and the rest of us crumbs. We can no longer wait until next year after an election after you promised them to do something. This proposal is simple. Let’s give taxpayers their money back right now. Let’s give working families their money back right now. No more politics, no more giveaways to the richest among us. Money for those who are suffering right now. I ask you to vote “yes” on my substitute.
Senator Shirkey’s statement, in which Senators Bumstead, Daley, VanderWall, Victory, LaSata, Runestad, Barrett, Wozniak, MacDonald, Zorn, Theis, Huizenga, Outman and Bizon concurred, is as follows:
As a matter of fact, there is further discussion.
The pandering effort of this
Governor to try and cover up for all the pain and suffering she has been
complicit with over the last two years, most recently with our President, in
creating the inflation that we’re fighting today is amazing. The last-minute
effort to try and interrupt an ongoing tax policy that will help families more
now than their suggestion is, and it will be ongoing.
Let me tell you and share with you exactly what their proposal would do. It would remove an increase in personal exemption for everybody, ongoing. It would remove an increase in personal exemption and an inflation adjuster for our seniors, ongoing. It would remove the reduction in income tax rate from 4.25 to 4, ongoing. It would remove the increase in the EITC—something that these people who we’re trying to help because of the damage being done by this administration and that in Washington, D.C.—would remove that, ongoing. And it would remove a $500 non-refundable child credit, ongoing.
Let there be no mistake—our plan is sustainable, it’s ongoing. It will result in $1,300 per year for the average family of two kids, ongoing, not just a one-time $500 attempt to pay off. I’m getting sick and tired of this administration not acknowledging their effort and their role in what has been created for the citizens of this state, and quite frankly the rest of the nation. There is no reason why we should be paying $4.69 per gallon for gas, but for the policies of this administration in D.C., complicit with the policies of this administration in Michigan. All I have to do is cite Line 5, and it goes on and on and on. Now, you can play funny games and try to get press releases that you tried to get some money right now. Well, who’s to say we’re done? We are only beginning. But I’m damn proud of what this body is about to pass and we are not done yet.

Senator Bumstead’s statement is as follows:
I rise to ask for your support of this bill to protect those who protect us. No Michigander who puts their life on the line defending our country should come home to tax bills they can’t afford, especially those who are injured in combat. This bill provides the funding necessary to waive property taxes for Michiganders disabled in service to our nation. It does the same for the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Mr. President, we owe these heroes a debt we can never repay, but we can at least ensure that they don’t come home owing a financial debt to the government. I ask for your support.
