Messages from the Senate

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 56.

A concurrent resolution of tribute to honor the memory of Jackie Vaughn III, former member of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant...

Matthew 25:23

Whereas, It is with deep respect for his long and dedicated life in public service that we honor the memory of Jackie Vaughn III of Detroit. Over the course of his 36 years of commitment as a lawmaker, this gentleman was a tireless voice for young people, civil rights, and justice in our state. We extend our condolences to the many people throughout Michigan who were touched by his life and work; and

Whereas, A veteran of service with the United States Navy, Jackie Vaughn earned his bachelor's degree from Hillsdale College and his master's degree at Oberlin College and studied in England at Oxford University. He came of age in the midst of our nation's civil rights struggles, and this fact and his belief in education influenced his entire public life and legislative career; and

Whereas, Jackie Vaughn came to Lansing in 1967 following his election to the first of his six terms in the House of Representatives. He was a consistent advocate for education and breaking down barriers in society. In 1979, he brought his talents and energies to the Michigan Senate, where he served until 2002; and

Whereas, Highlights of Senator Vaughn's long and distinguished tenure included his leadership in lowering the voting age to 18 and in the establishment of the holiday to mark the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Senator Vaughn, one of the state's longest-serving lawmakers, was also known for his singular attention to the people of his district and his long devotion to the Hartford Memorial Baptist Church and a host of civic, school, and community groups; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Jackie Vaughn III, former member of the Senate and the House of Representatives; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Senator Vaughn's family as evidence of the esteem that will long be held for his memory throughout Michigan.

; and

Whereas, As a result of recently completed negotiations, a settlement has been reached on a three-year contract between the state and the Michigan State Police Troopers Association regarding compensation and other terms and conditions of employment. This settlement, which will be retroactive to its effective date of October 1, 2005, was reached past the time when the governor could transmit the increase as part of the budget; and

House Resolution No. 308.

A resolution honoring the Detroit Shock Basketball Team and Head Coach Bill Laimbeer upon winning their second Women's National Basketball Association Championship.

Whereas, The Detroit Shock are among the WNBA elite. They defeated their rivals the Connecticut Suns and the Indiana Fever to win the Eastern Conference Championship. The Detroit Shock had the most talented starting line-up in the league, with each player having appeared in an All-Star game. Their play was based on teamwork, citizenship, dedication, and unselfishness; and

Whereas, A WNBA sellout crowd of 19,571 in Detroit's prestigious Joe Louis Arena, named after another legend, saw the Shock defeat the 2005 defending champion Sacramento Monarchs by a score of 80-75 in the final game of the finals; and

Whereas, Detroit Shock Head Coach Bill Laimbeer led the Shock to a league-best 23-11 record this season. We worked tirelessly to instill energy and enthusiasm in the team; and

Whereas, Shock forward Cheryl Ford was selected WNBA Peak Performer. Ms. Ford averaged 11.3 rebounds per game and has became the WNBA's all-time single-season rebounding leader with 363 boards in 32 games played; and

Whereas, Guard Deanna Nolan, a Flint native, averaged 18 points, including 24 points in game 5. She was named Most Valuable Player of the Finals; and

Whereas, Deanna Nolan, Katie Smith, and Cheryl Ford represented the Shock at the WNBA All-Star Game in July as a trio; and

Whereas, Coach Laimbeer's leadership, vision, and integrity have earned him widespread acclaim and our deepest appreciation for leading the team to the title; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor and commend the Detroit Shock players, Coach Bill Laimbeer, staff, and Detroit Shock management for their memorable accomplishment in winning their second Women's National Basketball Association Championship in three games. We sincerely wish them continued success in all endeavors; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Detroit Shock organization as a token of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Ward moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
