Rev. Jerry DeRuiter, Pastor of Kentwood Community Church in Kentwood, offered the following invocation:

 

"God, we give You all the honor and glory due the Creator of the universe. God, You have told us that Your house is to be a house of prayer. We pray that this House will also be a house of prayer. God, we seek Your wisdom and discernment as issues of public policy are discussed and debated. We would put You in the center, God, of these discussions as we seek Your will for all that we do. God, I would ask that You would shine Your blessings on these Your servants. I would also ask Your blessings for their families who share in the burdens of public service. May You help us fully recognize the responsibilities of being servant leaders as we serve You and the citizens of Michigan. God, we would seek to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. We seek to forgive each other as God, You have forgiven us, and most of all we seek to demonstrate Your love. God, we trust You, our times are in Your hands. We thank You for being our God and may our prayers be a sweet fragrance to You. Thank You for hearing our prayers. In the name of Your son we pray. Amen."

Reps. Lemmons, Jacobs, Spade, Zelenko, Murphy, Whitmer, Callahan, Thomas, Hardman, Waters, Williams, Frank, Daniels, Jamnick, Woodward, Bogardus, Anderson, Plakas, Garza, Clark, Rich Brown, McConico, Adamini, Wojno, Basham, Clarke, Hansen, Neumann, Minore and Rison, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 283 because I believe the cuts made in this budget will diminish the quality of life of the hard working people of Michigan. There is $14 million in unspent technology funds in our current budget that could be used to spare some vital programs in health care, day care, veterans' services, hospice, and workplace safety. Rather than invest them in programs that help improve the quality of life for the residents of Michigan, the majority has voted to let them linger. In these tight economic times, we should be making the most of every general fund dollar--we cannot afford to let this opportunity pass.

I understand the fiscal reality of the State of Michigan today. That is why I supported an alternative proposal that would have made the appropriate budget cuts. However, the cuts this supplemental makes in children's health care,

hospice, drinking water protection and worker safety are the wrong cuts to make. The state has spent millions of taxpayer dollars for several years on major technology projects that have never been audited for effective spending. Many of these projects have poor performance records and should be examined further for wasteful spending and mismanagement. Until we take these types of steps to find other areas to trim from the budget that do not negatively affect the people of Michigan and their quality of life, I will not support the cuts made in this supplemental budget bill."

 

Rep. Phillips, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

(1) Spending 180 million on the Hall of Justice

(2) 7 million to restore"

 

Rep. Hale, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 283 because I believe the cuts made in this budget will diminish the enhancement of life of the hard working men and women of Michigan. One cut in particular the 3 million dollars that Wayne State University (Detroit Medical Center) is needed to continue their prenatal care program. This is a much needed available program that would save the lives of our young infants in the Southeastern Michigan area."

 

Rep. Kolb, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

When times are tough and money is tight, you have to prioritize your needs. This is the situation that our Great State finds itself in. The question before us, is what programs should be funded, and what programs should be cut. Our answer should reflect our policy prioritizes. I believe that we need to fund those programs that will positively impact those people in our state who really need our support, like our children, our seniors, and our veterans. I believe that we need to fund those programs that are a priority to us, like public education, health care, day care, senior citizen programs and veteran housing programs.

The cuts we make should not be in the very programs that help our children, including public education and day care programs. The cuts should not be in programs that provide access to mental health programs. The cuts should not in programs that provide housing for our veterans. The cuts should not be in health care programs for our senior citizens, our children and migrant workers and their families.

We have an opportunity to cut e-Michigan by $14,000,000, funds that are not planned to be spent during this budget year. Of these excess funds, approximately $7,000,000 could be used to hold harmless those priorities that protect the quality of life for our residents. Important programs like important public education programs, day care programs, access to mental health care, worker safety programs, veterans housing, health care programs for children, migrant workers and their families, and our senior citizens, and environmental monitoring programs. The remaining balance of this money would be used to eliminate the current deficit in the budget and create a surplus, pulling the state's budget out of the red and into the black.

I cannot support this bill because it cuts the very programs that help to protect the quality of life of our residents, especially when there are programs where cuts could be made, i.e. e-Michigan, that have funding that is not going to be utilized. This bill does not meet the needs of the citizens of our state and I cannot vote for it."

Rep. Lipsey, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

At no time is it more important to be a legislator than when we are forced to make budgetary cuts. No one disputes the need to economize given the revenue shortages. However, when I am called upon to vote for new programs at the expense of human service programs (affecting schools, day care, seniors, and veterans) I submit that we as a legislature have abandoned those people we have been elected to serve. How can we say that, in times of tight money, it is more important to fund e-Michigan to the detriment of veterans' homes?

I have heard my opposition state for years that when we don't have money we should fund the basics before looking at the frills. What could be more basic than spending our money on health care (even if we don't have enough to fully fund the programs)? WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS FIRST!!!"

 

Rep. Dennis, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 283 because I believe the cuts made in this budget will diminish the quality of life of the hard working people of Michigan. Cutting the fat out of budgets means that we should be looking at 'pet' projects and wasteful spending. We should not be targeting vital programs that invest in health care, veterans' services, hospice, safe drinking water and work place safety. I supported an alternative budget that invests in people. We should be looking at programs that have poor performance records and mismanagement that causes wasteful spending. Until we take the steps to truly look at the State's budget in its entirety and not in this piece meal fashion, the priorities of the people of Michigan will not be met. Therefore, I voted no!"

 

Rep. Gosselin, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I vote 'no' on this budget because it contains practically no real spending cuts at a time when the state is facing a $390 million deficit in the current year. Billed as a $342 million 'cut,' the only real savings are $24.4 million from departmental budgets. Even this is less than it seems - apparently the money will be 'saved' by not hiring additional employees.

The rest of the 'savings' are transfers from expense items to debt, and money that would not have been spent anyway, because of insufficient demand for certain programs. An example is $30 million previously budgeted for day care programs, for which there is insufficient demand. Every child who wants to take advantage of the program will be accommodated, yet there is still money left over.

But that won't prevent the opposition from seeking to make political hay out of this phony 'cut' anyway. They are already braying about how mean-spirited we are for not spending the money. In other words, we should spend more when the people demand more government, and we should spend more when they don't.

They are wrong: We're spending too much now, and we've spent too much in the past. Putting off real cuts until next year's budget, which has an even larger projected revenue shortfall, just makes the job that much tougher. Now is the time for real cuts."

 

Rep. Schauer, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

On behalf of Michigan's children, families, and seniors, I voted no on Senate Bill 283, the fiscal year 2001 supplemental budget bill, in spite of the fact it contained an appropriation for a capital project in my district. I voted no because I believe the cuts made in this budget will diminish the quality of life for Michigan's working families. I voted no because it represented the wrong set of priorities for our state.

I feel that an important opportunity was missed to spare cuts to important programs for dental care, primary health care, hospice services, children's special health care, veteran's long-term care, work place safety, and safe drinking water. SB 283 as approved only contains $1.7 million in real General Fund cuts. There is $14 million in unspent technology funds in our current budget that could be use to support these critical priorities and provide additional budget savings. The alternative version of SB 283 that I supported would have not only supported these critical programs, but would have saved the state another $8 million.

I understand the fiscal reality of the state's budget today. That's why I supported an alternative proposal that would have made appropriate budget cuts. The cuts this supplemental makes in children's health care, hospice, drinking water protection, and worker safety--along with another missed opportunity to invest Tobacco Settlement funds in youth tobacco prevention--are wrong cuts to make. The state has spent millions of taxpayer dollars for several years on major technology projects that have never been audited for effective spending. Many of these projects have poor performance records and should be examined further for wasteful spending and mismanagement. Until we take these types of steps to find other areas to trim from the budget that do not negatively affect the people of Michigan, their quality of life, and their future, I will not support the cuts made in this supplemental budget bill. At a time of declining revenues and budget tightening, having a clear set of priorities is more important than ever. On passing SB 283, the House has missed an opportunity to stand up for the right priorities--health care, safe working conditions, veteran's care, and safe drinking water for our children, our families and our seniors."

House Resolution No. 126.

A resolution commemorating May 2001 as Foster Care Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The family, serving as the primary source of love, identify, self-esteem, and support, is the very foundation of our communities and our state; and

Whereas, In Michigan there are nearly 9,000 children and youth being provided with a safe, secure, and stable home along with the compassion and nurture of a foster family; and

Whereas, Foster families, who open their homes and hearts to children whose families are in crisis, play a vital role helping children and families to heal and reconnect. They also play a vital role in launching children into successful adulthood; and

Whereas, Foster homes are licensed for fewer children today than they were prior to 1985, resulting in a greater need for more foster families; and

Whereas, There are numerous individuals and public and private organizations who work to increase public awareness of the needs of children, in and leaving foster care, as well as the enduring and valuable contribution of foster parents. The foster care system is only as good as those who choose to be part of it; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate May 2001 as Foster Care Month in the state of Michigan.

House Resolution No. 127.

A resolution honoring Bill Moss, father and gifted member of the legendary gospel singing Moss Family.

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation that we recognize Bill Moss for the remarkable musical talents he has shared to glorify God and give people a message through his music; and

Whereas, Bill Moss heads a long line of musically talented relatives, including his wife, Evangelist Essie Moss, their eight children, all of whom have the gift of song; and his sister, the late Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, the mother of the world renowned Clark Sisters; and

Whereas, The highly inspirational Moss and Clark families all sang and created their own unique sound that distinguishes them from other gospel singers; and

Whereas, The Moss family has been singing for many years and even before the children, Bill and Essie Moss were household names. They have become known as a "dynasty" of gospel singers. Bill Moss wrote the songs, played the keyboard, and sang with the famous gospel group he organized, "The Celestials". When the Celestials were not able to attend a service, Bill and Essie would rock the house with, "Just the Two of Us", one of his prized pieces; and

Whereas, Bill Moss has taught so many people around the world about the power of the written word through songs and the beauty of the gospel through music. Bill Moss and the Celestials traveled throughout the United States and Europe and sang to thousands of their fans. He always reminded the people of the goodness of God through his songs; and

House Resolution No. 128.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to explore and implement long-term solutions to meet the growing demand for energy in an environmentally responsible manner.

Whereas, Considerable public attention is now focused on energy problems in our country. Rapidly rising gasoline prices this spring have followed a winter of higher natural gas prices and accounts of California's rolling electric blackouts. In dealing with the multifaceted issue of energy, it is essential that a long-term approach be taken to increase the supply of energy to ensure that we achieve lasting remedies without sacrificing our environment; and

Whereas, Many of the difficulties facing our nation with regard to energy can be traced to a lack of a long-term, comprehensive energy policy. We rely to a large degree on imported fuels. In the past 25 years, no new refineries have been built in our country. Efforts to meet environmental standards have resulted in an uneven network of regulations that oftentimes drive prices up for benefits that may not be commensurate with the costs. At the same time, our country has done little but increase its seemingly insatiable appetite for energy consumption; and

Whereas, The work awaiting our country includes building new power plants, increasing refining capacity, encouraging the development of alternate energy sources, modernizing our energy infrastructure, removing unproductive regulatory barriers, fostering conservation practices, and incorporating new technologies at all stages of energy production, distribution, and use. If we take a balanced approach, we can not only build a strong economy on a firm foundation of reliable energy, but also put in place policies and practices to protect our air and water; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to explore and implement long-term solutions to meet the growing demand for energy in an environmentally responsible manner; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.

House Resolution No. 129.

A resolution honoring Father Charles E. Irvin upon his retirement as editor in chief of Faith Magazine.

Whereas, It is with sincere appreciation for the manner in which Father Charles E. Irvin's outstanding leadership has enriched lives throughout the entire community that we join with the Diocese of Lansing in giving thanks upon the occasion of his retirement as Editor in Chief of Faith Magazine. The counsel, encouragement, and direction that he has shared in all aspects of his life has had a positive influence far beyond those who read Faith Magazine; and

Whereas, Father Charles E. Irvin has been meeting the spiritual needs of the good people who read Faith Magazine since its first printing in 1999. With a heartfelt concern for others that is immediately apparent to all who meet him, Father Charles E. Irvin has brought a new era to many individuals and families. While several events and milestones at Faith Magazine provide obvious evidence of the good work of Father Charles E. Irvin, less tangible, but no less important, are the gifts of deepened faith and serenity his work as editor in chief has made possible; and

Whereas, With the retirement of Father Charles E. Irvin, the family of readers of Faith Magazine is losing not only a spiritual mentor but also a friend. With all that they have shared over the years, however, there can be little doubt that his words and strength will long continue to be of the greatest value in the months and years to come; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body join with the more than 80,000 readers of Faith Magazine in honoring Father Charles E. Irvin upon the occasion of his retirement as editor in chief of Faith Magazine. We join them in extending our thanks and gratitude for his many blessings and wish him well as he continues serving full-time as the pastor of St. Mary Parish in Manchester; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Father Charles E. Irvin as a token of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Whereas, The mission of the Michigan Propane Gas Association is to promote the proper handling and use of propane, work for a favorable environment for propane distribution and marketing, and to increase its application by demonstrating propane's value as a clean energy source; and

Whereas, The Michigan Propane Gas Association is a trade and membership service organization that represents propane marketers throughout the state. Founded on April 3, 1947, the Association has grown in its influence, while maintaining its core principles of education and safety. The Association's primary purpose is to maintain high standards of practice within the industry and, in so doing, protecting and expanding the ability of its members to compete in the marketplace. The Association is dedicated to the betterment of the propane industry and to the customers it serves in Michigan. Since its inception, the Michigan Propane Gas Association has been supported by its many volunteers who dedicate their time for the betterment of the industry; and

Whereas, The Michigan Propane Gas Association established Propane Awareness Day to demonstrate the numerous uses of propane and its safe use. We salute the people of the Michigan Propane Gas Association for their efforts to expand our awareness and knowledge of the propane industry; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate May 22, 2001, as Propane Awareness Day in Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the organizers of Propane Awareness Day as evidence of our esteem.
