“Dear Lord,

As we gather this new day, I pray that You give us understanding, insight, and a generous heart of gratitude for all our many blessings. On this last day of session before Christmas, let us radiate the light of Christ everyday, in every way, in all that we do, and in all that we say.

I pray we keep the spirit of Christmas at heart as we continue our work this day. We ask guidance, protection of our loved ones, and health and well-being to all who serve the people of our great state and nation. And lest we not forget, please bless and keep our troops serving in faraway places.

We ask for Your direction as we strive to do what is best for the people of the state of Michigan.

May the grace of the Lord be with each of us in this holiday season.

Amen.”

Rep. Angerer moved that the following remarks be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Rep. Corriveau:

“LET IT BE KNOWN, That it is with deep appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that Janet Olszewski has put forth on behalf of the people of Michigan that we offer this expression of our sincere gratitude. As the people of Michigan recognize the loyalty and devotion to public service of this assiduous individual, we add our sentiments of gratefulness for a job well done.

Janet Olszewski spent the better part of 30-plus years working to make Michigan a safer and healthier place for the men, women and children who call this state home. Her tenure as a state employee began in 1977 with a post in the Office of Services to the Aging. Ms. Olszewski quickly expanded her public health expertise and earned a reputation for being one of the smartest people in the room who knew how to bring people together and solve problems. That reputation and a track record of delivering results propelled her to leadership positions within the former Department of Public Health and the state’s Medicaid program.

Director of the MDCH since 2003, Ms. Olszewski oversaw one of state government’s largest departments, a department charged with promoting the health and safety of all Michigan residents. She led the department during some of our state’s most challenging economic times. As resources dwindled and the need among our residents swelled to new heights, Ms. Olszewski expertly guided the MDCH’s efforts to provide more effective services and programs in a more efficient manner. Never did she waver from the department’s mission to protect the most vulnerable among us.

Janet Olszewski created a culture that encouraged employees to unleash their innovation and they responded, making Michigan a national leader in several public health arenas. She herself became a public health leader in the state of Michigan and beyond. Her extensive knowledge and proven leadership vaulted her to prominent positions in several state and national organizations and garnered her numerous awards. More importantly, she is directly responsible for improving the lives of countless Michigan families. A public servant of the highest integrity, she leaves a legacy of leadership and service before self that will serve as a beacon for the countless employees and colleagues she has mentored and inspired.

IN SPECIAL TRIBUTE, Therefore, it is with deep gratitude that this document is signed and dedicated to join with the citizens of Michigan in saluting Janet Olszewski for her many outstanding years in public service. We wish her the very best as she departs state government to embark upon a new life chapter.”

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Rep. Melton moved to amend the bill as follows:

1. Amend page 14, following line 6, by inserting:

“Sec. 13. (1) Subject to section 15, the board may implement a brownfield plan. The brownfield plan may apply to 1 or more parcels of eligible property whether or not those parcels of eligible property are contiguous and may be amended to apply to additional parcels of eligible property. Except as otherwise authorized by this act, if more than 1 eligible property is included within the plan, the tax increment revenues under the plan shall be determined individually for each eligible property. Each plan or an amendment to a plan shall be approved by the governing body of the municipality and shall contain all of the following:

(a) A description of the costs of the plan intended to be paid for with the tax increment revenues or, for a plan for eligible properties qualified on the basis that the property is owned or under the control of a land bank fast track authority, a listing of all eligible activities that may be conducted for 1 or more of the eligible properties subject to the plan.

(b) A brief summary of the eligible activities that are proposed for each eligible property or, for a plan for eligible properties qualified on the basis that the property is owned or under the control of a land bank fast track authority, a brief summary of eligible activities conducted for 1 or more of the eligible properties subject to the plan.

(c) An estimate of the captured taxable value and tax increment revenues for each year of the plan from the eligible property. The plan may provide for the use of part or all of the captured taxable value, including deposits in the local site remediation revolving fund, but the portion intended to be used shall be clearly stated in the plan. The plan shall not provide either for an exclusion from captured taxable value of a portion of the captured taxable value or for an exclusion of the tax levy of 1 or more taxing jurisdictions unless the tax levy is excluded from tax increment revenues in section 2(dd) 2(ee), or unless the tax levy is excluded from capture under section 15.

(d) The method by which the costs of the plan will be financed, including a description of any advances made or anticipated to be made for the costs of the plan from the municipality.

(e) The maximum amount of note or bonded indebtedness to be incurred, if any.

(f) The duration of the brownfield plan for eligible activities on eligible property which shall not exceed 35 years following the date of the resolution approving the plan amendment related to a particular eligible property. Each plan amendment shall also contain the duration of capture of tax increment revenues including the beginning date of the capture of tax increment revenues, which beginning date shall be identified in the brownfield plan and which beginning date shall not be later than 5 years following the date of the resolution approving the plan amendment related to a particular eligible property and which duration shall not exceed the lesser of the period authorized under subsections (4) and (5) or 30 years from the beginning date of the capture of tax increment revenues. The date for the beginning of capture of tax increment revenues may be amended by the authority but not to a date later than 5 years after the date of the resolution adopting the plan. The authority may not amend the date for the beginning of capture of tax increment revenues if the authority has begun to reimburse eligible activities from the capture of tax increment revenues. The authority may not amend the date for the beginning of capture if that amendment would lead to the duration of capture of tax increment revenues being longer than 30 years or the period authorized under subsections (4) and (5). If the date for the beginning of capture of tax increment revenues is amended by the authority and that plan includes the capture of tax increment revenues for school operating purposes, then the authority that amended that plan shall notify the department and the Michigan economic growth authority within 30 days of the approval of the amendment.

(g) An estimate of the impact of tax increment financing on the revenues of all taxing jurisdictions in which the eligible property is located.

(h) A legal description of the eligible property to which the plan applies, a map showing the location and dimensions of each eligible property, a statement of the characteristics that qualify the property as eligible property, and a statement of whether personal property is included as part of the eligible property. If the project is on property that is functionally obsolete, the taxpayer shall include, with the application, an affidavit signed by a level 3 or level 4 assessor, that states that it is the assessor’s expert opinion that the property is functionally obsolete and the underlying basis for that opinion.

(i) Estimates of the number of persons residing on each eligible property to which the plan applies and the number of families and individuals to be displaced. If occupied residences are designated for acquisition and clearance by the authority, the plan shall include a demographic survey of the persons to be displaced, a statistical description of the housing supply in the community, including the number of private and public units in existence or under construction, the condition of those in existence, the number of owner-occupied and renter-occupied units, the annual rate of turnover of the various types of housing and the range of rents and sale prices, an estimate of the total demand for housing in the community, and the estimated capacity of private and public housing available to displaced families and individuals.

(j) A plan for establishing priority for the relocation of persons displaced by implementation of the plan.

(k) Provision for the costs of relocating persons displaced by implementation of the plan, and financial assistance and reimbursement of expenses, including litigation expenses and expenses incident to the transfer of title, in accordance with the standards and provisions of the uniform relocation assistance and real property acquisition policies act of 1970, Public Law 91-646.

(l) A strategy for compliance with 1972 PA 227, MCL 213.321 to 213.332.

(m) A description of proposed use of the local site remediation revolving fund.

(n) Other material that the authority or governing body considers pertinent.

(2) The percentage of all taxes levied on a parcel of eligible property for school operating expenses that is captured and used under a brownfield plan and all tax increment finance plans under 1975 PA 197, MCL 125.1651 to 125.1681, the tax increment finance authority act, 1980 PA 450, MCL 125.1801 to 125.1830, or the local development financing act, 1986 PA 281, MCL 125.2151 to 125.2174, shall not be greater than the combination of the plans’ percentage capture and use of all local taxes levied for purposes other than for the payment of principal of and interest on either obligations approved by the electors or obligations pledging the unlimited taxing power of the local unit of government. This subsection shall apply only when taxes levied for school operating purposes are subject to capture under section 15.

(3) Except as provided in this subsection and subsections (5), (15), and (16), tax increment revenues related to a brownfield plan shall be used only for costs of eligible activities attributable to the eligible property, the captured taxable value of which produces the tax increment revenues, including the cost of principal of and interest on any obligation issued by the authority to pay the costs of eligible activities attributable to the eligible property, and the reasonable costs of preparing a brownfield plan or a work plan for the eligible property, including the actual cost of the review of the work plan under section 15. For property owned or under the control of a land bank fast track authority, tax increment revenues related to a brownfield plan may be used for eligible activities attributable to any eligible property owned or under the control of the land bank fast track authority, the cost of principal of and interest on any obligation issued by the authority to pay the costs of eligible activities, the reasonable costs of preparing a work plan, and the actual cost of the review of the work plan under section 15. Except as provided in subsection (18), tax increment revenues captured from taxes levied by this state under the state education tax act, 1993 PA 331, MCL 211.901 to 211.906, or taxes levied by a local school district shall not be used for eligible activities described in section 2(m)(iv)(E). Tax increment revenues captured from taxes levied for school operating purposes shall not be used for eligible activities on eligible property described in section 2(n)(viii) and (ix).

(4) Except as provided in subsection (5), a brownfield plan shall not authorize the capture of tax increment revenue from eligible property after the year in which the total amount of tax increment revenues captured is equal to the sum of the costs permitted to be funded with tax increment revenues under this act.

(5) A brownfield plan may authorize the capture of additional tax increment revenue from an eligible property in excess of the amount authorized under subsection (4) during the time of capture for the purpose of paying the costs permitted under subsection (3), or for not more than 5 years after the time that capture is required for the purpose of paying the costs permitted under subsection (3), or both. Excess revenues captured under this subsection shall be deposited in the local site remediation revolving fund created under section 8 and used for the purposes authorized in section 8. If tax increment revenues attributable to taxes levied for school operating purposes from eligible property are captured by the authority for purposes authorized under subsection (3), the tax increment revenues captured for deposit in the local site remediation revolving fund also may include tax increment revenues attributable to taxes levied for school operating purposes in an amount not greater than the tax increment revenues levied for school operating purposes captured from the eligible property by the authority for the purposes authorized under subsection (3). Excess tax increment revenues from taxes levied for school operating purposes for eligible activities authorized under subsection (15) by the Michigan economic growth authority shall not be captured for deposit in the local site remediation revolving fund.

(6) An authority shall not expend tax increment revenues to acquire or prepare eligible property, unless the acquisition or preparation is an eligible activity.

(7) Costs of eligible activities attributable to eligible property include all costs that are necessary or related to a release from the eligible property, including eligible activities on properties affected by a release from the eligible property. For purposes of this subsection, “release” means that term as defined in section 20101 of the natural resources and environmental protection act, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.20101.

(8) Costs of a response activity paid with tax increment revenues that are captured pursuant to subsection (3) may be recovered from a person who is liable for the costs of eligible activities at an eligible property. This state or an authority may undertake cost recovery for tax increment revenue captured.

If a local site remediation fund has not been established, the authority shall disburse the remaining recovered funds to the local taxing jurisdictions in the proportion that the local taxing jurisdictions’ taxes were captured.

(ii) If this state undertakes a cost recovery action, this state shall deposit the remaining recovered funds into the revitalization revolving loan fund established under section 20108a of the natural resources and environmental protection act, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.20108a.

(iii) If this state and an authority each undertake a cost recovery action, undertake a cost recovery action jointly, or 1 on behalf of the other, the amount of any remaining recovered funds shall be deposited pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) in the proportion that the tax increment revenues being recovered represent local taxes and taxes levied for school operating purposes, respectively.

The authority shall fully inform the taxing jurisdictions about the fiscal and economic implications of the proposed brownfield plan. At that hearing, an official from a taxing jurisdiction with millage that would be subject to capture under this act has the right to be heard in regard to the adoption of the brownfield plan. Not less than 10 days before the hearing on the brownfield plan, the governing body shall provide notice of the hearing to the department if the brownfield plan involves the use of taxes levied for school operating purposes to pay for eligible activities that require the approval of a work plan by the department under section 15(1)(a) and the Michigan economic growth authority, or its designee, if the brownfield plan involves the use of taxes levied for school operating purposes to pay for eligible activities subject to subsection (15) or (18).

(14) The authority shall not enter into agreements with the taxing jurisdictions and the governing body of the municipality to share a portion of the captured taxable value of an eligible property. Upon adoption of the plan, the collection and transmission of the amount of tax increment revenues as specified in this act shall be binding on all taxing units levying ad valorem property taxes or specific taxes against property located in the zone.

(17) A brownfield authority may reimburse advances, with or without interest, made by a municipality under section 7(3), a land bank fast track authority, or any other person or entity for costs of eligible activities with any source of revenue available for use of the brownfield authority under this act. If an authority reimburses a person or entity under this section for an advance for the payment or reimbursement of the cost of eligible activities and interest thereon, the authority may capture local taxes for the payment of that interest. If an authority reimburses a person or entity under this section for an advance for the payment or reimbursement of the cost of baseline environmental assessments, due care, and additional response activities and interest thereon included in a work plan approved by the department, the authority may capture taxes levied for school operating purposes and local taxes for the payment of that interest. If an authority reimburses a person or entity under this section for an advance for the payment or reimbursement of the cost of eligible activities that are not baseline environmental assessments, due care, and additional response activities and interest thereon included in a work plan approved by the Michigan economic growth authority, the authority may capture taxes levied for school operating purposes and local taxes for the payment of that interest provided that the Michigan economic growth authority grants an approval for the capture of taxes levied for school operating purposes to pay such interest. An authority may enter into agreements related to these reimbursements and payments. A reimbursement agreement for these purposes and the obligations under that reimbursement agreement shall not be subject to section 12 or the revised municipal finance act, 2001 PA 34, MCL 141.2101 to 141.2821.

(18) If a brownfield plan includes the capture of taxes levied for school operating purposes, approval of a work plan by the Michigan economic growth authority in the manner required under section 15(14) to (16) is required in order to use tax increment revenues attributable to taxes levied for school operating purposes for purposes of eligible activities described in section 2(m)(iv)(E) for 1 or more parcels of eligible property.

Comments and Recommendations

The motion prevailed.

Rep. Leland:

“Few Michiganders are able to serve in this great institution and even fewer people at my age. As I term out of office I also let go of something very precious to me, my adolescence. It is something that many of you have had an impact on, people like Ed Clemente, Jeff Mayes, MFL Angerer, Rev. Dean, Steve Bieda, Steve Tobocman, Deb Kennedy, Tupac Hunter, Mo Hood, George Cushingberry, Andy Meisner, Dianne Byrum, Kathleen Law, Steve Adamini, Gino Polidori, Aldo Vagnozzi, Speaker Dillon, Bill Huizenga, Mark Meadows, and Mary Valentine, just to name a few. These people have helped shape my life and for this I am very grateful. Thank you to all who had an impact on my special political upbringing.

So how does a white Jewish kid with a checkered past from you-know-where grow up and become a State Rep. for the city of Detroit? Well, it’s not all that difficult to explain. Through hard work, dedication and trust anything is possible, and having a loving father in elected office doesn’t hurt either.

So you want a Farewell: huh? What a funny term for me. I have a little different take on this because like some of you, I was born into this business. I don’t feel as though I came in here six years ago and I don’t really feel like I’m leaving. Maybe this should be more like a hello and an introduction than a goodbye.

So here we go! Hi my name is Gabe Leland. I’m 28, and I’m a State Representative from the 10th district in Northwest Detroit. Almost everything I have today both in assets and in knowledge I owe to my father, the Honorable Burton Leland, current Wayne County Commissioner and past legislator for 26 years. He is my mentor and inspiration. Thank you Dad for your guidance and your leadership.

Six years ago as a young 22 year old I won a seat in the House of Representatives. I ran a campaign based on a few principles that I thought were important. I want to thank my constituents for believing in my sincerity and for giving me the chance to serve. I have connected with my community in a way that was special because although my age could have been an issue, it wasn’t. I was elected from among a slate of 10 candidates, all who had much more life experience than I. What separated me from the pack was that I was a Leland, and from that day forward I had to prove to my district and to myself what that meant.

I am a community activist, a champion of the people and a dedicated servant who will go the distance for anyone, anytime, no matter what the conditions may be. There isn’t a press conference associated with this type of work, no camera shots or quotes in the local paper: It’s just good ole fashion help through casework and advocacy. It’s a cold world out there and government bureaucracy can sometimes make it harder for people to live a comfortable life, and that’s where we come in. We make it easier to make it in a cold, hard world. But I can’t take all the credit and so therefore I would like to thank all my staff both past and present who have worked in my office. Janell Freeman, Dan Oberlin, Madeline Day, and Joe Taylor, thank you all for your hard work. You helped me grow in so many ways. I will never forget you.

I learned from my father that effective legislating should be solely based around the needs of the community. Those that are out of line with the values of their community will eventually be kicked out. Throughout these six years it was about staying in line with the needs of the community. When you achieve this, nothing else matters.

Riet Schumack is someone who many of you will never know. She is a bold woman and the type of person that each of you have encountered in your own community, someone you wrap your arm around. Riet’s story magnifies the nature of our business. I wouldn’t be the same kind of legislator without her. Riet is an urban pioneer; an urban gardener who moved into my district and into one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in the country. A place called Brightmoor. She needed this community and the community needed her. One day she left a tax auction in tears because she was outbid by an abrasive investor looking to make it rich…… in Brightmoor, yeah right! She called me pleading for a parcel of land to farm on. After further research I learned the abrasive investor owned many parcels in Brightmoor and many were tax-reverted. Now how can we allow an investor who has no interest in the community to outbid the Riet Schumacks of the world, it is they who will beautify our neighborhoods and bring back our cities. I took the idea to LSB and we made something out of it. Many thanks to our bipartisan research team, House Fiscal, bill clerks, and all of our policy staff that help make our dreams a reality.

The bill creates a system where counties would require a signed affidavit from bidders attesting they don’t owe back taxes. It’s a development plan for urban cities to get vacant and dilapidated properties into the right hands. We as a State House passed this bill unanimously and it is currently awaiting a vote in the Senate.

Riet and many others like her in the community knew they could count on me to help make Brightmoor a better place to live. To me this is what it means to be a Leland!”

Rep. Schuitmaker:

“My … how six years goes so fast. It has been an honor and privilege to serve the residents of this great state and the residents of the 80th District. I thank them for giving me the opportunity to serve. I also want to give thanks to my Creator, the Lord God above. I have been very blessed by the life He has bestowed upon me. I would, also, like to thank my parents, Harold and Zoe Schuitmaker and grandmother, Dorothy Verhage and grandfather Allen Verhage, for the life lessons they have been teaching me my entire life. My husband, Steve, has been my soul partner in life and I am ever so grateful for his presence in my life. Our two children, Jordan and Savina, have been blessings beyond words and I thank them for their sacrifice of having marched in many parades, enduring 4 campaigns and many late nights without their mom at home. Also thank you to my predecessors, many Senators, mentors, supporters and Mr. Hall, my high school government teacher, who inspired me at an early age.

This is my third time sitting through farewell speeches. I always thought that I would provide some great insight or pontification like many of the great speeches that I have heard before and this week. However, I have decided that I cannot do better than my fellow colleagues, my friends, have already said so at this time I just wish to say a meaningful thank you. I consider all of you my friends and respect all of you for the people you are. I wish I could mention all by name, but unfortunately time will not permit. I would ask your indulgence on people which have made a great impact during my years here:

First Term

I was lucky enough to have been the second to last ball to have been called for seat selection, so it was quite serendipitous that I have the most liberal member of our caucus, Rep. Ball, on one side and the most conservative on the other, Rep. Gosselin. Thanks for your friendship.

Thank you to Speaker DeRoche, Majority Floor Leader Chris Ward, David Law, Neal Nitz, Dave Palsrock, Phil LaJoy, Barb Farrah, Gary Newell, Steve Bieda, Brenda Clack, Paul Condino, Jim Marleau, Tom Pearce and Bill Huizenga, who as an only child, was like a big brother to me. I also had a wonderful mentor in Judiciary with the great Bill VanRegenmorter. I value all of your friendships.

Second Term

The loss of majority and the 21 days of session. Rep. Proos did a great job as caucus chair putting up with caucus discontent. I thank you. The only good thing to come out of that was I got to know Kim Meltzer, Lisa Wojno and Frank Accavitti better. I also thank Ken Horn for coming to my district for the Tourism Task Force.

Third Term

Another great seatmate who had my back, Arlan Meekoff. I also was put on Appropriations and Chuck Moss – I have enjoyed your humor, ‘Moss messages’ and your spine ever since. I also enjoyed all the members on Appropriations and, especially, the dry humor of Bill Caul.

Sharon Tyler, John Proos, and Jase Bolger. Thank you all for your friendship and giving me rides back to the district on occasion. Thank you also, to Kevin Green, Jim Stamas, John Walsh, Matt Lori and Cindy Denby in helping me this past fall when you had no reason to. Also, thank you Jim for the endless supply of ‘M&Ms’.

I also had the opportunity to serve on Energy and Technology under the great chairman and true statesman, Jeff Mayes, who also sits behind me. You have a talent of sitting all sides down and figuring out how to move great public policy along. Also sitting behind me is my good friend, Joel Sheltrown. For you I can thank knowing what a cormorant is and the damage they do to windmills and our lakes and I am sorry about my position on road ends. I also had the great opportunity to Co-chair the Womens’ Caucus with a class act, Joan Bauer. Thank you to Reps. Tlaib and Lipton for working with me on legislation. Thank you. Most of you know me, know that my real passion lies in the Judiciary Committee. Thank you to all the members, but especially, my members, Joe Haveman, Congressman Justin Amash, the awesome and often camera shy, Rick Jones, Eileen Kowall and Tory Rocca. You were a great team. However, we are only as good as the support that we get from Republican and Democrat policy staff, and the number one person that I depend on along with the entire legal community, is Mr. Bruce Timmons. I had the honor of presenting Bruce with a tribute for his 40 years of service and that was 3 years ago. All I can say is that I hope he and I are still here for his 50 years. Chris Harkins, Brenda Resch, Scott Starr, Dave Murley, Marcela Westrate, Peter Morman and Brian Mills have all been instrumental in the last session with the issues that I have worked on. Thank you to Suzanne Miller Allen, who is extraordinary in my book. Also, thank you to Mike Quillinan, John Perry, Jeff Barron, Phyllis Browne, Central Staff, LSB, Communications, Policy, Frank Raha, Mitch Bean and the entire House Fiscal Agency and Gary Randall and the entire Clerks’ office. Also thank you to the Sergeants for always doing a superb job.

Now to the leadership of this caucus this year, Kevin Elsenheimer and Dave Hildenbrand. You have made a great team and your Leadership has been top notch. You provided a road map to great policy that incorporated everyone in our caucus. I thank you and it is evident, that because of your great policy and leadership, that it transposes to great politics.

And now to the two people who support me the most here in my day to day activities. The best staff a legislator can ask for, Rebecca DeVooght and Arika Sinnott. I have appreciated your diligence, professionalism, friendship and humor over the years. Your dedication to your career in public service and the citizens of Southwest Michigan is exemplary. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. I also wish to thank the writers I have had over the years and the many great interns and current interns, Lorrilea, Lauren and Nick.”

Rep. Roberts:

“‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has - Margaret Mead’

The empowerment of people to make democracy work - Clean Water Action

These words have served as guides for me over the years. At the core of these quotations are people – at the core of our job as State Representatives are the people – those we serve, those we work to give a voice.

I want to thank the people of the 24th district for enriching my life and for making me a better person. I want to thank the constituents who took the time to voice their opinions through letters, emails, and phone calls – by stopping me at the grocery store and at the local diner.

They took an active role in their government. They made their voice heard, and I want to commend them for that. We need more people who are willing to engage and to share their thoughts and concerns and to hold us, their elected representatives, accountable.

I want to thank the kind constituents who would email me just to tell me to keep up the good work.

I want to thank Donald Vonk for all his emails and information on what was wrong with government and Clarke Stough for the pointed questions at my coffee hours - both conservative Republicans who also let me know they supported me, because they believed I was doing a good job despite our differences in opinion and party.

I want to thank all the constituents who let me know they disagreed with me because they kept it real.

To all of my amazing volunteers for their commitment to a better government and for assisting me in accomplishing so much. Thank you.

Thank you Joe Krutell – who was there from day one. He is a retired school board and city council member who is one of my biggest cheerleaders and a kind mentor – now we can have dinner.

Thank you, Cyndi Roper, for giving me a chance, for believing in me, and for the opportunity to learn and grow. I would not be here today if you hadn’t given me the tremendous challenge of being a Community Organizer with Clean Water Action.

I am still a Community Organizer at heart and proud to say so.

My dearest friends, Matt, Bethany, John, and Sarah – thank you for listening and encouraging me to never give up and to keep fighting – even when it wasn’t easy.

I want to thank my family: my dad, Charles; my mom, Helen; my brother, Tobias; and my sister-in-law, Rachel for all your love and support.

My beautiful nephew and niece, Brady and Madeline, for reminding me that all the decisions I made as a State Representative are about the future of our great state - our children.

I want to thank my extremely hard working staff: Scott Neumann and Ashley Samson, for their diligence, their amazing commitment to my constituents, and for putting up with me. They literally knocked on thousands of doors with me.

I repeatedly heard from constituents about how grateful they were for Scott’s help.

As a team we educated constituents, we helped them through the bureaucracy, we helped people stay in their homes, get their unemployment checks, and helped to solve other problems. Being able to help people is what made my job the most rewarding.

Thank you to Erika Richter and all the interns who helped make our office and our projects successful.

I want to thank Andrew Krebs, Beth Clute, Jamie Highfield, Dave Schupbach and Chelsea Benjamin for all their work in helping me keep up a great communication plan for people of the 24th district.

I want to thank Lavora Barnes, who was first a colleague and is now a friend and a mentor.

All of the policy staff for supporting me and helping me with a tough learning curve and for all of their hard work, knowledge and incredible ability to retain so much knowledge. They are imperative in an era of term limits where institutional knowledge has been lost.

Representative Marie Donigan for being my mentor.

My Chairman, Representative Gino Polidori – Thanking you for allowing me to chair committee.

My Macomb County crew - Reps. Miller, Switalski, Liss, Haugh and especially Rep. Haase who helped me stay awake on those late night drives home by talking on the phone with me and of course for making me a better member of the House Education Committee.

And thank you, Ed Bruley, for your friendship and challenging me to work harder and be the best that I can be.

I want to thank Speaker Dillon and Majority Floor Leader Angerer for giving me the amazing opportunity to be an Assistant Floor Leader. Throughout Michigan’s History, truly only a small number of individuals get the opportunity to run the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives.

And, in honor of you MFL – I wore my Kathy Angerer outfit today.

Also, to my dear, dear friend and seatmate, Rep. Tlaib - Thank you for listening, for making me laugh, sharing lunch, keeping it real, and for reminding me that the best representative is a representative who stands up and fights for what is right.

I want to thank each and every one of you for enriching my life and sharing such an awesome experience with me. Many of you surprised me – in good ways. I appreciate the kindness, the support, and the warm smiles.

I know the most important part of my job is not my title, but the people I have been elected to serve and what I chose to do on behalf of working for them.

Although I may have argued with some of you on a particular issue or piece of legislation, I did so because I was working for what I believed was right for the 24th district, the citizens of Michigan and all of our hard working employees who dedicate their life to working for the public.

The past two years have been filled with many struggles, but from those difficulties I was able to learn many things and to become a stronger person for it.

I hope you impart the same wisdom upon the new class of Representatives that many of you have graciously shared with me.

Of the many lessons I have learned and difficulties I have had to face, the most salient lessons of the past two years is that leadership is difficult and there are no easy answers to Michigan’s challenges.

From our vantage point as legislators, we often find ourselves looking across an aisle or being surrounded by the walls of a caucus room, but as many of us prepare to leave the world of red and blue and Republican seats and Democratic seats behind, the questions that remain are those that speak to the core of what it means to live in the state we all care so much about:

Will this be a place where the children of today will want to raise their children?

Will students in our state feel that a bright future awaits them?

Will our economy reflect the creativity and ingenuity of the people who live here and enable them to live a quality life?

Will our government prove they can earn the trust of the citizens?

Will the unique beauty that speaks to our souls be left for future generations to enjoy?

Regardless of whether you’re sitting on the left or the right, I hope that we are all looking forward and that the view is the same: a Michigan that we can be proud of and a hopeful future for those we serve.

It is my hope that those of you who will be returning will remind your new colleagues of this daily, and I hope that you will work to these ends.

For those of us that will not fill these seats during the next session, it is my hope that you will use the drive and commitment to improving the lives of others that brought you here to find new ways to serve the people of Michigan and to continue fighting to give them a voice.

It has been an honor and a privilege to have had the opportunity to strive for a better Michigan, to serve the people of the 24th district, and to work with all of you.

I look forward to watching the 96th legislature solve the difficult problems that lie ahead while protecting all of Michigan’s citizens and making us all proud to call Michigan home.”

Rep. Smith:

“I was born an identical twin in Columbia, South Caroline in the years of Jim Crow. When we were two, my sister Lucille played with some matches she found in the barn and caught her dress on fire. The ambulance that came to take Lucille to the hospital turned around and left her to die in our mother’s arms because the family was Black. From that moment my parents instilled a family value in my sisters and me: The color of your skin, the depth of your wallet and the place where you live must never limit your opportunity for a great quality of life.

My parent’s legacy is great and long and it includes a long list of public servants: my sisters Judges Nancy Francis and Mary McDade, my son, Conan, daughters Dana and Tara and a daughter-in-law, Rebekah Warren – my House seatmate and confidant for four years. Public service is an honorable pursuit. My three-and-a-half year old grandson reminds me why I committed to public service and he reaffirms my determination to make his state and world better.

I have served in the MI legislature for 14 years and I want to thank the citizens of Washtenaw County for the honor and privilege of having represented them in both the Senate and House. In the course of those 14 years, I have been to almost every county in the state. I learned that the citizens throughout Michigan have the same desires and hopes for themselves and their children as the citizens who elected me: health for their families, a good education that allows them to be successful and competitive and a safety net when they fall on hard times.

I was a staff member in the Michigan Senate and I know who really runs the legislature. So thanks to the members of the Democratic central staff who have been of immeasurable importance during my tenure and to Republican staff such as Bruce Timmons, Frank Raha and John Lazet who have been honest brokers for your representatives and their goals. I especially thank Mark Salogar whom I’ve known and trusted for over 14 years, and Marcela Westrate, Marilyn Peterson and Bob Schneider who have kept the corrections budget logical and on track.

Any success I’ve achieved in the legislature I owe to a very dedicated personal staff and I would be seriously remiss if I didn’t thank Mary Sansbury who was my boss when I was staff for Senator Lana Pollack and who is still my boss 22 years later as a member of my house staff, Lonnie Scott who is a tireless worker and brilliant political strategist and Anne Brown who has managed my district office and kept up a public persona for me when I was away in Lansing or on the road with other pursuits. The administrative staff of the clerk’s and house of representative’s offices are without parallel in the private sector as are the public employees in the departments that we are too often ready to throw to the wolves.

We have indispensable and unsung support staff in the LSB and House Fiscal Agency who labor without adequate recognition. Jon Bollman, Mitch Bean and Gary Olson are without peer. Their depth of knowledge, ability to take broad concepts and shape workable legislation and all the while make it appear as if we did it is remarkable. They are valuable and irreplaceable especially as term limits continues to take its toll on institutional memory and member expertise. And many of us in this chamber have heard from Christine Hammond who will lead you through your free lifetime health care for which you will pay a precious premium of at least $3600 a year.

My colleagues, past and present - kindred spirits and honest foils alike - make this democratic process relevant. Good public policy is most often the result of negotiation and compromise. When we force one perspective forward we too often find ourselves revisiting the policy in a year or two to create balance.

There are too many great colleagues to mention but I will venture into the trap to which some of us have already succumbed: John Espinoza, you are an honorable and courageous man – the greatest. Rebekah Warren, not even this process can quash your spirit, values or integrity.

There is a rumor out there that Doug Bennett, Steve Lindberg, George Cushingberry and I have never met a tax we don’t like. So recognition must go to the Democratic members, especially Mary Valentine, Robert Dean, Terry Brown and Republican Chris Ward who voted for taxes in 2007 when everyone was telling you it meant your certain defeat, you are models of values over politics. And to those of you like Jennifer Haase who in 2009 demanded a vote for taxes before a cut in service regardless of what it may have meant to your re-election, we need more legislators like you.

Mark Meadows - stay judicious. Marie Donigan, keep on ‘training’, Rashida Tlaib and Vicki Barnett, stay feisty. Joan Bauer stay the sage, determined champion for higher education and strong democratic values that you are. When you need attention to detail founded on strong values turn to Ellen Cogan Lipton. The passionate conscience of the House Democratic Caucus will in my opinion remain Shanelle Jackson – stand tough girl. Bruce Caswell and Jack Brandenburg taught me what it means to do battle with people as opinionated as I and John Proos with his more reasonable demeanor and sense of humor was none-the-less as tenacious. Senator Alan Cropsey - could two legislators with such diverse philosophies ever find agreement: well yes - we are the short and the long of the legislative process and the way it should work. Kathy Angerer you have been superb and Speaker Dillon we’ve had our moments but you have been more than fair. To the members who battled illness and kept working thank you; to the families of those who lost their battles to illness – your loved ones will be remembered for their dedication.

The temptation for members of a ‘unified’ government - that is all one party or the other - is to yield legislative power to the executive and that is all the easier because the legislative members are so new and ever-renewed. Don’t succumb. Legislators, and especially you in the House, are the closest to the people and you are their voice.

But it is my constituency that elected me over and over and over again, that said job well done, keep working. I really thank them for this opportunity to be here, and I thank you all for your public service.”

Comments and Recommendations

Rep. Hildenbrand:

“Well it certainly has been an honor to serve in the Michigan House of Representatives. This is a special club that many people seek, but only a few get the privilege to serve. Like all of you, my journey in faith and life has taken lots of twists and turns. And I often feel very undeserving of all the good the Lord has given me.

I need to first thank my family, my beautiful wife Sarah and daughter Jane who have been extremely supportive and understanding through this face-paced chapter in my life. And of course my parents who don’t know anything about politics but continue to be my biggest cheerleaders. To the people of the Grand Rapids area, I am humbled to have your trust.

I could say something kind about everyone in this chamber, Democrats and Republicans alike, as well as the others that I served with in my first 2 terms. But just like so many other endeavors in life, there are people that you are drawn to because of age, geography, similar interests, common backgrounds or personalities, and because of specific responsibilities. So I have a few people I would like to recognize.

First to my 6 fellow Kent County colleagues: Reps. Pearce (the Dean), (the two great advocates for the City of Grand Rapids), Roy Schmidt, The Reverend Robert Dean, David Agema (our immigration guru), Justin Amash (Mr. Congressman) and the very passionate Kevin Green - I have appreciated our friendship and support for each other at the various district meetings back home.

To our caucus leadership team, led by a very talented and natural leader Kevin Elsenheimer who I respect a great deal. This is a guy that has a bright future in either the public or the private sector, which ever path he chooses. And the others Reps on our leadership team: Rogers, Lund, Kowall (Madam Chair), Green, Moss, Meekhof, Schuitmaker, and DeShazor. I appreciated your integrity, sense of humor and dedication to our caucus as we worked through the issues.

To the 9 other Republicans and the 4 Democrats in this Chamber that I have the privilege to continue to serve with in the Senate: Reps. Meekhof (a fellow hunter and fisherman from West MI), Phil Pavlov (hopefully we will have a few more all night problem solving sessions), Rick Jones (don’t tase me bro), Proos (the ultimate statesman), the very talented Tonya Schuitmaker, Tory Rocca (the family of regulatory reformers), the politically savvy and jolly Jim Marleau, the steady hand of Goeff Hansen, the intelligent and inquisitive Darwin Booher, the thoughtful Vincent Gregory, the spicy Rebekah Warren, and 2 guys who are great advocates of Detroit and who both have a lot of passion and heart - Bert Johnson, Coleman Young II. And of course the new President of the Senate, our colleague Lt. Governor Elect Brian Calley, who is one class act. To all of you, it is my hope that we can all work together to move this state forward.

I served under 2 Speakers of the House, Craig DeRoche and Andy Dillon. Although there were times when I disagreed with them, I respect both of them for taking on the duties and responsibilities that come with leading this chamber.

I’ve enjoyed the relationship I developed with Maj. Floor Leader Kathy Angerer. We had regularly weekly meetings to go over the agenda and she was always willing to share information, and accommodate as many of my requests as she could. I’ve enjoyed our relationship.

I’ve had many very hard working and dedicated staff and interns over the years.

A special thank you to Jen Dettloff who has been on my staff for all 6 years here in the House. She is hardworking, dedicated and loyal both here in my office and on the campaign trail and I am lucky to have her on my team. Also, of course Frank Raha who is a soldier for our caucus and has sat through the long days and nights to support the work we do. And Kerry VanLaan on my staff who also is a young lady that gives it her all both in the office and out on the campaign trail.

I must say a thank you (like many of my colleagues already did) to all the people that make this institution work. Clerks Randall and Brown and their staff, the Sergeants, Suzanne, Gary Garbarino, policy and communication staff, LSB, Business office, and the House Fiscal Agency. You all make it so much easier to do our jobs.

I’ve truly have enjoyed my time here. You learn a lot about how this place works and there have been some moments that I will never forget. So on a little bit of a lighter note, I put together a TOP TEN list for you to digest: It’s called The Top Ten Things People Don’t Know About Serving in the House:

I think some of you will get a kick out of a few of these.

10) You can arrive into town on a Tuesday with a 20 dollar bill and leave 2 days later without breaking it.

9) If you are going to miss a deadline, don’t worry because this is one place in the world where you can literally stop the clock.

8) The Capitol Building can double as a hotel, like it did in 2007. The sleeping arrangements and accommodations are not what you would call plush, but you can’t beat the price.

7) We have some major state budget challenges, but areas of the Capitol are hand painted in 24 carat gold. Have you seen the price of gold lately.

6) We have our own 24 hour security who we affectionately call the red coats. On a side note, I asked one of them a few years back, ‘Would you take a bullet for me?’ And he quickly responded, ‘NO, but I would shoot the person who shot you.’ Fair enough.

5) There are 110 house members, 38 senators, and a Governor that are all involved in the legislative process, but only 3 of them negotiate the tough issues while the rest wait.

4) Even when Ticketmaster says ‘Sold Out’ - there is still a good chance you can get a ticket to your favorite show, concert or sporting event.

3) You can have appetizers at 5 receptions before actually going out for dinner. The freshmen 15 doesn’t just apply to college.

2) You can have a 2 hour appropriations committee meeting with 10 bills on the agenda but never talk about any of them. But trust me, you will hear several plugs for Detroit, the auto industry, MI blueberries, bird hunting, and the Upper Peninsula. Things that I am very fond of as well, by the way.

1) You serve with a male state representative that carries a purse.

Well, my farewell wouldn’t be complete without setting in motion a challenge to the future leaders. So to Spkr. Bolger, Maj. Floor Leader Stamas, Spkr. Pro Tempore Walsh, Min. Leader Hammel, and Min. Floor Leader Segal:

Work together, understand and appreciate each other’s roles, cultivate an atmosphere in this chamber where every member is respected, where the issues are freely debated, and that this institution is treated with the kind of integrity that would make the men and women who served before you proud. I have the greatest of confidence in you.

My best to all of you wherever your future may lead.

Thank you Madam Speaker”.

______

The Speaker Pro Tempore resumed the Chair.

Speaker Dillon:

“I want to thank each of you. It has been a unique opportunity to serve here. I want to first and foremost thank the voters of the 17th district that trusted me to represent them here: Redford Township, and parts of Dearborn Heights and Livonia. It’s been a proud honor to serve and represent their values in this chamber for six years. I’ll never forget when I served in lame duck in 2004, and I was sitting in my office. It was night time in winter, I was looking at the lights, the Capitol was lit up and I was overwhelmed with the sense of duty that was bestowed upon me. I started thinking about two of my grandparents that immigrated here: one from Ireland, and one from Canada. If they only got to know that their grandson had the opportunity to serve in this great county of freedom. I also want to thank my family, my wife Carol, Jack, Tegan, Austin. We all know the price family pays. Thank you Carol for letting me serve, thank you kids.

Before I came here I didn’t watch Lansing very much. I was political, I paid attention to politics, but I never really thought about what happened in Lansing. I paid more attention to what happened in Washington. But when I came here it struck me that big things happen here. People are able to get food because of the things we do in this room, people have health care, obtain an education, have the opportunity to get a job because of what we do here in this chamber.

In the last campaign I ran this spring, when the team told me what your campaign schedule is going to be like: I thought, ‘if there’s one point in the week that I’ll get to myself and my family, it’d be Sunday mornings’. But, ‘no, no, you have to visit five churches every Sunday’. Ultimately, it became my favorite part of the campaign. And as you come back here, there is no doubt there’s going to be some tough decisions that have to be made here. But I learned something while visiting the churches in the poorest areas of our state, where there’s all kinds of challenges, and it’s the pastors in these churches that are on the front lines. And they are your partners. As you move through legislation next year, and you are making tough cuts; make certain you spend a little time in those communities so that you know what decisions you make on budgets. So you know what the impact will be, because without this partner that we have, the churches, the pastors in these communities, I fear greatly for the civil community that we want to live in. So, I invite you to take time to do that. They will invite you, receive you well. I gained confidence in that: as big as our problems are, they’re fixable because there’s great champions out there that we don’t see but they’re fighting the battle every day.

As a body we’ve done a great job of complimenting the people that serve us, we look good because of our staff. All of the employees of the House: whether your in communications or policy, or clean our offices - thank you so much for serving the people of Michigan.

This year I had wanted to have a Halloween party right before the election - they talked me out of that. I had fallen asleep on the couch in my office one night and I was watching the shadows come down on this Capitol and I thought, ‘ what a great thing it would be, to have a little Halloween night and have kids trick or treat at every door in the Capitol. Then we’d have a masquerade ball as a fundraiser for a charity of your choice.’ But Peter quickly reminded me, ‘its three days before the election; that is not going to happen.’ They have all been dedicated and loyal; and I know they’ve served you well. They bend over backwards to accommodate the needs of the Members.

I hope a tradition is kept here, which is to have holiday parties. You have to have a little fun when you’re here. I want to thank Joel Sheltrown for always being willing to come and play his saxophone and provide entertainment for all to enjoy. This is a beautiful building, and I think the more that people get exposed to it and see it, the better.

When I came up here my expectations of the quality of the person that serves were far exceeded. There’s some tremendous talent that comes into this place, and I have a great deal of respect for virtually everyone of you. I have respect for you taking the risk, and putting your name on the ballot to come here. Unfortunately, this is a situation where I think that the whole is less than the sum of the parts. There are great people in this chamber, with great ideas and great work ethic, but when you pile it all together the media looks at us and says we’re so dysfunctional we’re so incompetent, we can never get anything done. It’s an unfortunate truth which will never go away but I want you all to know I have a tremendous amount of respect for each person here.

I don’t have a top 10 list but I do want to walk through a series of some of my fondest memories I have about serving here. There’s no doubt that number one is the all night sessions. I’ll tell you why we went through that mess. I started in February reaching out to the Senate to come up with some type of proposal to address a 1.8 billion dollar problem and just deadline after deadline missed. I didn’t want the world to think we didn’t get it done because we weren’t working. That’s why I thought it best that we be here around the clock, and that we demonstrate that we were willing to get it done. Unfortunately, the media never rewarded us for that effort. I don’t think the public understood. But that was the reason why I raked you through the coals. I didn’t want the world to be able to point the finger to the House of Representatives and say, ‘they are the reason why we had a shutdown’ or say that we didn’t have a reasonable compromise. Thank you all for the work you did in that effort.

Some special moments: I don’t think I was in the Speaker’s office for two weeks when an individual, Michael Blake, came up to me and said he was leaving to go work for Barrack Obama. I said that is great, you’ll never regret it, go. So a year ago when we went to D.C. to go fight for the autos, I had the privilege to walk into his office, in the executive office building. He’s now working for the President of the United States. I cried when I saw a man from my office now working for the White House. This can be a cool job.

I’d also like to thank each of you for trusting me as the leader; I hope that I’ve met your expectations. I always tried my best and I tried to be fair. I know sometimes we failed, and sometimes we didn’t treat you as good as we wanted. Sometimes we didn’t have as much debate as I had hoped but hopefully we made some progress and hopefully this chamber will continue to get better as the new leaders emerge and learn from the past ones. It has been a privilege and honor to serve as your Speaker. Thank you for giving me that chance.

I want to wish the new Speaker and Floor Leader good luck. I encourage you to all forge good relationships with the Senate. If you develop some good relationships over there I think it is less likely to happen. Remember you can say no to special interests. The sun will rise tomorrow. I know they are influential and powerful people, but you can say no, and please do. Say no when it’s the right thing to do for the people of this state, for the people you represent, and for the future of this state. Also, don’t take no for an answer. One of the biggest pieces of legislation we moved during my tenure, the group that benefited from it the most told me no when I asked for their help. They said they had tried it and they don’t want to go fight that fight again. I didn’t take no for an answer. I kept fighting and fighting. If you know something is right, and people keep telling you no, keep plowing forward, keep fighting for it. You never know you just might get it.

Put your God and your family before this place. I’ll be the first to admit that I did not do that very well. I let this place interfere too much with my faith and my family. For that I am very sorry. Please don’t you make that same mistake. If there’s one thing I could have elevated that we didn’t, and I wish we could have done a little more on this: is mental health. Some very difficult decisions are going to be made next year. We have to pay attention to mental health, and I think for the fiscal conservatives you can find it can save money. But how many people in our corrections system really don’t belong there? They are mentally ill. So I want to challenge to you to at least consider it, and think about it, and examine the benefits. It seems to be the step-child of state budget, and I think we’ve done some real damage to the state there. I want to tell you to enjoy the ride, it goes fast. I can’t believe six years has flown this fast. May God bless each one of you and the great state of Michigan. Thank you.”

Motions and Resolutions

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 388.

A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Phil Pavlov.

Whereas, It is most appropriate to recognize the service of Representative Phil Pavlov to the residents of the Eighty-first District as he reaches the end of his tenure with the Michigan House of Representatives. Over the last six years, Representative Pavlov has been a determined advocate for the residents of his district as well as the entire state of Michigan; and

Whereas, Representative Pavlov has worked tirelessly as a member of several legislative committees. He has served on the Families and Children, Great Lakes and Environment, and Urban Policy Committees. He has also served as minority vice chair on the Education and the Public Employee Health Care Reform Committees. Representative Pavlov has worked to advance public education, expand health care coverage, and protect Michigan’s environment; and

Whereas, Representative Pavlov has served as a St. Clair County Commissioner, owned a trucking equipment company, and contributed to the work of several public and community groups. He has brought these experiences, particularly his efforts in county government and business, to state government, providing an invaluable resource for the Michigan Legislature throughout his service as a lawmaker; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our gratitude to the Honorable Phil Pavlov as he brings to a close his tenure in this legislative body; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Pavlov as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 389.

A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Tom Pearce.

Whereas, It is with appreciation for his hard work and commitment over the past six years that we salute Tom Pearce upon the completion of his duties as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives. With his thoughtfulness and diligence, he has contributed a great deal to the legislative process, especially through his effective efforts serving on the Ethics and Elections, Education, and Transportation Committees. His tireless work on business and economic issues has benefited both his constituents and the entire state; and

Whereas, Representative Pearce’s strong commitment to the community is demonstrated by his past professional experience as executive director of the North Kent Service Center.

Clearly, Speaker Andy Dillon has set an invaluable standard of leadership, and one that we would all do well to emulate; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we hereby offer this expression of gratitude to the Honorable Andy Dillon as he brings to a close his service as the Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives and a member of this august body; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Speaker Dillon as evidence of our esteem and best wishes.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

They should have gone through the committee process or at least we should have been given a lot more time to review them - although, given the volume of changes and additions, even if we were given many hours to review the bills, there appear to be many questions that would arise and would need significant time and experts to understand the real impacts of the changes (which could and should have occurred in committee).”
