The message was referred to the Clerk.
Explanation of “No” Votes
Rep. Slavens, having reserved the right to explain her nay vote pertaining to Election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
Today I cast a no vote for Representative Jase Bolger as Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives. It is important that the leader of the Michigan House of Representatives has strong ethical fitness, someone the people of this great State can trust to move Michigan forward. I feel that Representative Bolger acted unethically when he and former Representative Roy Schmidt colluded to swindle voters in the November election. Representative Bolger remains under a grand jury investigation for his actions.
I have worked across the aisle with Republicans in the past and will continue to do so.”
