If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Statements
The motion prevailed.
Senator Irwin’s statement is as follows:
I rise—one, to say that two weeks ago I was pretty frustrated when the majority cut off our opportunities for statements and I probably was more frustrated than was reasonable. For that I apologize. But the reason I was so frustrated is because I received a number of comments from young people in my district—students, from elementary schools in my district, and these students were concerned and they were concerned about gun violence and they asked me to speak out on their behalf on the Senate floor. It was very frustrating for me to not be able to do that on the schedule that they had demanded because, you know, when elementary school students speak, we should seek to listen.
So, I am just going to read for you two quotations that were offered up to me from young people in my district. Once again, elementary school students. This is what they were thinking while we here in the Legislature were doing nothing about gun violence. Quote—why are we sitting here arguing about YouTube and games while children like us are being shot and killed? So while we were doing nothing, there was a fifth grader in my district asking that question. While we were doing nothing, a student in my district said—quote—people can do amazing things, they can do horrible things, and they can do nothing; that’s what most of the government is doing about the shootings, nothing.
These are words from elementary school students in my district concerned about gun violence, scared about being in school, wanting to be focused on the sort of trivial things like YouTube and games that young people are often focused on. But instead, they’re focused on what we’re doing here to protect them. And the answer that I have to give them is, We are doing nothing.
Senator Bayer’s statement is as follows:
I too want to speak to this subject because we haven’t had a chance for a couple of weeks; I appreciate the opportunity to speak today. We did lose 19 elementary school students and two teachers for no reason a couple weeks ago, and every time this happens we express our grief and our sadness, our thoughts and our prayers. We had one dead and six injured by gunfire in Benton Harbor just in the last few days; we had three children and an adult die in Mecosta County in the last few days. Every time this happens, we say, How can this happen again? How can we let this continue to happen? We had 246 mass shootings just this year. Every time we express outrage over what’s happening and what continues to happen, and every time we do nothing. Nothing.
This is not a mental health problem. Other states—other countries—have mental health problems. We’ve had mental health problems for a long time. We’ve had COVID. Other states—other countries—have COVID and yet we have 25 times the number of gun violence incidents in our country than any other country in the world—25 times. We have almost half of the guns in the world here in this country. That’s our problem, not mental health. Our problem is our guns and unfettered access to guns.
We might think maybe that we’re
worried that too much regulation would cause a world that we would feel
uncomfortable living in. I would suggest that a world where kids are afraid to
go to school, where people are worried about going to the grocery store or
going to church without getting shot, that’s the world we’ve created in this
country and in this state. That’s what we’re—what are we afraid of? I’m afraid
of the world we’ve created now. It didn’t used to be this way. I wonder if
anyone in this room, I wonder if any of us, since we were 5, had to go to
school and practice what to do if there’s a shooter in the classroom? None of
us had to do ALICE training. We’ve created this world, and we can fix it. We
can take the steps it takes to make it better. No other country has the problem
we have. The studies are there, the data is there, we have a problem with guns
and we have the tools to fix it. We need to take action.
Mr. President, through you I ask—I call upon the leadership in the Senate; I call upon the leadership in the House; to take action now, to take up the bills today—the responsible, proven, effective safety legislation—that we have introduced over and over that is available today. Let’s bring them to the floor today and vote on those bills and put an end to this world—this horrible, terrifying world—we have created by allowing this kind of access to so many guns.
Senator Nesbitt’s statement is as follows:
In March, gas prices in Michigan topped over $4 per gallon, and in response this chamber passed—over the objections of most of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle—a temporary suspension of the state gas tax to provide some measure of relief to Michigan drivers and families. However, our Governor vetoed that bill. Instead, she wrote a letter to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer asking them to suspend the federal gas tax, because if there’s one entity you can trust to be decisive in any crisis it’s the United States Congress.
Today, gas is averaging more than $5—I filled up this morning for $5.19 per gallon—and to everyone’s great surprise, nothing has been done in Washington, D.C., despite our Governor’s letter-writing campaign. Thanks to her veto, nothing has been done yet here in Michigan despite new record highs being set almost daily. One newspaper described the Governor’s position on relief for drivers as—quote—noncommittal. Noncommittal.
Meanwhile, Mr. President, states across our country are helping ease the burden of gas prices on residents, from blue Connecticut to the free state of Florida, but as the saying goes in Michigan, we need 56, 20, and 1 for a bill to become law. We have the 56 votes in the House and 20 votes in the Senate to lower gas prices. How high must they go before the 1 decides it’s actually time to help out our drivers here in Michigan?

Resolutions
Senate Resolution No. 149.
Whereas, Pride began 52 years ago in 1970 with the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. In 1969, a Black trans woman named Marsha P. Johnson, along with other LGBTQ individuals, risked their lives to protest the over-policing of the LGBTQ community and the injustice that threatened their existence on a daily basis. This multi-day protest became known as the Stonewall Riots and is credited by many for starting the modern-day LGBTQ equality movement; and
Whereas, The LGBTQ movement has endured through tragedy and struggle, including the slow and insufficient government response to assist those with HIV/AIDS and the ongoing effort today to protect the rights of the LGBTQ community; and
Whereas, The movement has also celebrated victories of recognition, especially the historic Obergefell decision in 2015 which affirmed marriage equality nationwide and the recent Bostock decision in 2020 that upheld federal employment protections for the LGBTQ community; and
Whereas, Everyone in Michigan benefits from the multiple talents, viewpoints, and cultural backgrounds of all of its residents and from preserving the freedom, worth, and dignity of those in the LGBTQ community; and
Whereas, Michigan should expend all efforts to attract and retain talent and signal to the nation we are welcoming to all those who wish to contribute to the economic vitality of our state; and
Whereas, The people of Michigan understand, appreciate, and value the cultural, civic, and economic contributions of the LGBTQ communities to the greater community of the state, and affirm a celebration of love, living authentically, and accepting ourselves; and
Whereas, June is recognized and celebrated as LGBTQ Pride Month throughout the country and worldwide; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize June 2022 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month.
