Reps. Drolet, Gosselin and Kuipers 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:

This body recently approved of resolutions to protect domestic steel producers from state-subsidized foreign competition. Defenders of these resolutions made passionate pleas for the jobs and profitability of our privately owned and funded steel producers. The strongest argument in favor of those resolutions was based upon the capitalist principle that the state is inherently an unfair and economically destructive competitor in the marketplace. This contention applies with even greater accuracy and force against SB 360.

Non-profit organizations are not compatible with the efficient delivery of goods and services. The Soviet Union provided an object example of what happens when the profit motive is removed: unwanted items are produced in abundance while desperately needed goods are rationed.

Profits are signals, and SB 360 will remove those signals. Its defenders argue that the private sector will be unable or unwilling to build and finance some revenue-generating projects. If their contention is correct, then the market is warning them away from commercial failure, and wasted tax dollars.

If their contention is wrong, then private firms in other cities and regions will have government-sponsored competitor that doesn't pay taxes, cannot go out of business, and has the deficit financing authority of government to help expand its operations. This would leave private, taxpaying companies facing government-sponsored competition akin to the domestic steel producers that have been competing against state-subsidized foreign rivals.

Government sponsored competition is just as bad, whether it comes from Japan, or much closer to home. If we are going to stand up for our capitalist system, then we best be consistent about it."

Rep. Gosselin, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

For several years legislators have been dancing to the drumbeat of a new educational fad: 'The First Three Years.'

We have been told repeatedly that:

1. A child's brain is unalterably 'hard-wired' by age three, and if the proper stimulation and environment is not provided, dire lifelong consequences ensue.

2. Government needs to get involved, spending millions to make sure that those undependable wards of 'the children'--parents, that is--aren't up to the job, or worse.

There are consequences to this particular fad. For one thing, mothers everywhere are wracked with guilt and uncertainty. Also, millions of tax dollars are being spent--money that otherwise would be available more traditional classroom functions--or Heaven forbid--left in the pockets of the taxpayers who earned it.

Well guess what? It may all be bunk. John T. Bruer is the president of a major foundation which gives grants for biomedical and behavioral sciences research. It's his job to look carefully at the research going on in the field, and here's what he says about this particular fad: 'Apart from eliminating gross neglect, neuroscience cannot currently tell us much about whether we can, let alone how to, influence brain development during the early stage of exuberant synaptic formation.'

And notwithstanding the current fad, the latest research shows the remarkable plasticity of the brain, and its power to continue learning throughout life. Bruer says that perhaps the worst effect of the current fad is that it 'rejects strong genetic determinism in favor of early neural-environmental determinism.... The argument is but one rhetorical move away from an early-environmental version of the Bell Curve.'

What is the lesson for lawmakers? Don't get sucked in by the latest pedagogic fads. Not only can we end up wasting gobs of taxpayer dollars, the fads can actually hurt kids.

Most important, though, once again government is getting involved in areas of private life where it has no business. If government can't build roads that last, or deliver the mail efficiently, or run a Friend of the Court system, why would anyone ever think it can raise kids better than parents?"

 

Rep. Schauer moved to amend the bill as follows:

1. Amend page 88, line 10, after "(4)." by inserting "IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER APPROPRIATIONS UNDER THIS ACT, IF THE LEGISLATURE ENACTS LEGISLATION AUTHORIZING THE APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FROM THE COUNTERCYCLICAL BUDGET AND ECONOMIC STABILIZATION FUND FOR THIS PURPOSE, $38,000,000.00 IS APPROPRIATED FROM THE COUNTERCYCLICAL BUDGET AND ECONOMIC STABILIZATION FUND TO THE STATE SCHOOL AID FUND FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND $50,000,000.00 IS APPROPRIATED FROM THE COUNTERCYCLICAL BUDGET AND ECONOMIC STABILIZATION FUND TO THE STATE SCHOOL AID FUND FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2003, AND THOSE AMOUNTS ARE THEN APPROPRIATED FROM THE STATE SCHOOL AID FUND FOR THE CORRESPONDING FISCAL YEAR AND ARE ALLOCATED TO BE USED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION." and adjusting section 11 and enacting section 1 accordingly.

Medicaid notices of proposed policies 0039-Hospital and 0004-Hospital, relating to payments under the outpatient hospital adjustor and graduate medical education payments respectively, shall have all references to per diem payments deleted.

(2) It is the intent of the legislature that HMOs shall have contracts with hospitals within a reasonable distance from their enrollees. If a hospital does not contract with one or more HMOs, in which it has no financial interest and whose facility is in a service area with one or more HMOs, that hospital shall allow for the admission of HMO enrollees by a physician under contract with excluded HMOs who has admitting privileges at that hospital.

(3) In the absence of a contract with a hospital, a HMO shall reimburse that hospital at Medicaid fee-for-service rates for medically necessary and appropriately authorized services, arranged by a physician under contract with the HMO and who has admitting privileges at that hospital. The department shall reimburse the HMO the differential between the actuarially equivalent per diem rate and the actual Medicaid fee-for-service payment that was paid to the hospital by the HMO.

(4) The conditions specified in subsection (3) shall only apply to those HMOs that can certify that the capitation rates, on which their bid for inclusion in the state's Medicaid managed care program was made, were based on per diem and not fee-for-service estimates for inpatient hospital services.

(5) To the extent that a HMO identified in subsection (4) can demonstrate that they have sustained a financial loss, due to the requirement that they reimburse non-contracting hospitals on a fee-for-service basis rather than on a per diem basis, for the period from October 1, 2000 to the effective date of this act, the department shall reimburse the affected HMO for such losses from the fund sources identified in subsection (1).".

Reps.

House Resolution No. 166.

A resolution memorializing President George W. Bush and the Congress of the United States to end military training on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques immediately, and to release from jail Reverend Al Sharpton and the three other Vieques protestors-New York City Councilman Adolfo Carrion, New York State Legislator Jose Rivera, and Bronx County Democratic Party Chairman Roberto Ramirez.

Whereas, Although the decision has been made to end military training in Vieques in the year 2003, it is not right to subject the people of Vieques to continued damage to their health and to the quality of their island's air and water for two more years; and

Whereas, President Bush himself, during his trip to Sweden, stated that the Puerto Ricans, who are United States citizens, are "our friends and neighbors, and they don't want us there"; and

Whereas, It would be a truer measure of our regard and friendship for the people of Vieques to end this intolerable situation immediately instead of prolonging it; and

Whereas, This country has had a long and proud history of "civil disobedience" since the days of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau; and

Whereas, It is hypocritical of our country to protest the inhumane acts toward the citizens of China and other countries while suppressing free speech in our own country; and

Whereas, The actions of Reverend Sharpton, Councilman Carrion, Legislator Rivera, and Chairman Ramirez were nonviolent and did not threaten our government or country; and

Whereas, This country has always upheld the principles of free speech and public protest; and

Whereas, It would be in keeping with the moral and political tenets of this nation not to take such a vengeful attitude toward the aforementioned gentlemen; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the President of the United States, George W. Bush, and the members of Congress to end the military training in Vieques immediately and to call for the immediate release of Reverend Al Sharpton, New York City Councilman Adolfo Carrion, New York State Legislator Jose Rivera, and Bronx County Democratic Party Chairman Roberto Ramirez from jail; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, George W. Bush, 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 House Oversight and Operations.

 

 

Rep. DeVuyst offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 167.

A resolution to approve, and urge the Governor to execute, a certain tribal-state gaming compact between the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan (the Gun Lake Band) and the State of Michigan.

Whereas, Federally recognized Indian tribes have a right under federal law to operate gaming as a means of economic development within states that allow such gaming for any purpose by any person, organization, or entity; and

Whereas, The State of Michigan permits Class III gaming to be operated by nontribal entities under the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act; and

Whereas, The Governor of the State of Michigan has negotiated tribal-state gaming compacts with 11 federally recognized Indian tribes, and the Michigan Legislature has approved all 11 compacts by resolution; and

Whereas, The Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan, which is also known as the Gun Lake Band, is a federally recognized Indian tribe; and

Whereas, The principles of fairness, equity, and justice dictate that the State of Michigan enter into a Class III gaming compact with the Gun Lake Band on terms consistent with the tribal-state compacts previously approved by the Michigan Legislature; and

Whereas, A tribal-state gaming compact between the State of Michigan and the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan (the Gun Lake Band) has been prepared. This compact was filed with the Clerk of the Michigan House of Representatives on June 26, 2001, and is available for review; and

Whereas, The compact that has been prepared contains terms and conditions consistent with the previous 11 compacts signed by the Governor of the State of Michigan and approved by the Michigan Legislature; and

Whereas, This compact is the only Michigan compact that contains the additional requirements of adherence to Michigan laws and regulations concerning the production, distribution, and sale of tobacco; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we approve, and urge the Governor to execute, the tribal-state gaming compact on file with the Clerk of the House of Representatives between the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians (the Gun Lake Band) and the State of Michigan to govern the establishment of one Class III gaming facility located on tribal lands of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, representatives of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan, and the United States Secretary of the Interior.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Regulatory Reform.
