Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Daley, Graves, Goike, Denby, Johnson, Outman, VerHeulen, Lauwers, Rendon, Brunner, Smiley, Faris, Kivela, Yonker, Muxlow, Cotter, Lane, Brown, LaVoy, Segal, Stanley, Geiss, Lipton, Kurtz, Barnett, Darany, Driskell, Durhal, Heise, Kowall, Roberts and Slavens offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 252.
A resolution to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Thoroughbred horse racing in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, During the month of September 2013, the Michigan Horsemen’s Benevolent Protective Association will celebrate 80 years of Thoroughbred racing in Michigan; and
Whereas, Michigan Thoroughbred racing is steeped in history. On September 2, 1933, Governor William A. Comstock and 20,000 racing fans witnessed “Mayco” win the historic first race on opening day at the Detroit Fair Grounds. During that 31 day meet, over 100,000 fans wagered more than $3.5 million on Thoroughbred races; and
Whereas, During its 80 year history, Michigan Thoroughbred racing has been recognized as an important part of the state’s agriculture industry. There are an estimated 10,000 jobs across the state linked to the horse racing industry; and
Whereas, Thoroughbreds such as Seabiscuit have inspired a nation. A down-on-his-luck racehorse stirred the country during the Great Depression and firmly planted the hope of “a better future” during difficult times. The great Seabiscuit turned his career around at the Detroit Fair Grounds, with a new owner, trainer, and jockey, winning two Detroit handicap races and eventually beating War Admiral in a two-horse match race called by many the “greatest race ever” and becoming a national hero; and
Whereas, In 1961, Michigan-bred Thoroughbred Bass Clef finished 3rd in the Kentucky Derby; and
Whereas, In 1993, Michigan native Julie Krone became the first woman jockey to ride and win one of the Triple Crown Races, the Belmont. On August 7, 2000, Ms. Krone became the first woman jockey or trainer ever inducted into the Thoroughbred Hall of Fame; and
Whereas, Thoroughbreds are magnificent athletes. Ruffian was an amazingly successful filly during the height of the women’s equality movement of the 1970s. Sports Illustrated included her as the only non-human on their list of top 100 female athletes of the century, ranking her 53rd; and
Whereas, Thoroughbred racing is exciting at every level from the farm to the track. Thoroughbred enthusiasts share in the joy of watching a horse that was foaled on a Michigan farm cross the finish line as a winner; and
Whereas, Michigan Horsemen’s Benevolent Protective Association, an association of owners and trainers of Thoroughbred race horses, is working with state policy makers to modernize this treasured sport. New technologies exist allowing even more individuals to experience a live race. Adopting these new technologies will support and sustain the racing industry in Michigan and is the next logical step for horsemen and other Thoroughbred enthusiasts across the state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 80th anniversary of Thoroughbred racing in the state of Michigan. We acknowledge and celebrate the rich eighty year history of Thoroughbred racing in Michigan and urge all citizens to join in this observance; and further be it
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Michigan Horsemen’s Benevolent Protective Association.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Rep. Daley moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:
Substitute for House Resolution No. 252.

House Resolution No. 253.
A resolution to declare October 20-26, 2013, as Chemistry Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, It is important to recognize the significant contribution the business of chemistry makes to the well-being of Michigan and its citizens; and
Whereas, National Chemistry Week is a community-based annual event that unites industry, businesses, schools, and individuals in communicating the importance of chemistry to our quality of life; and
Whereas, Each year, the American Chemical Society, through this effort reaches millions of people with positive messages about the contributions of chemistry to their daily lives; and
Whereas, It is the one time during the year that chemists, regardless of background, unite with the common goal of spreading the word that chemistry is good for our economy, our health, and our well-being; and
Whereas, The theme for National Chemistry Week 2013 is “Energy Now and Forever!” exploring chemistry and energy with a focus on sustainable resources; and
Whereas, This encourages chemists and chemistry enthusiasts to build awareness of chemistry at the local level. Local sections, businesses, schools, and individuals are invited to organize or participate in events in their communities with a common goal to promote the value of chemistry in everyday life; and
Whereas, In Michigan, 96 percent of all manufactured goods are directly touched by the business of chemistry, making this industry an essential part of every facet of our nation’s economy; and
Whereas, Chemistry companies in Michigan directly employ over 28,500 people and indirectly contribute 91,350 jobs to the economy of the state. For every chemistry industry job in Michigan, an additional 3.2 jobs are created within the state; and
Whereas, The Michigan Chemistry Council and its member companies are working to improve and strengthen our communities; and
Whereas, Michigan’s chemistry businesses are increasing industrial efficiency, competitiveness, and helping Michigan develop a bio-economy and green business practices to increase the adoption of new cleaner technologies; and
Whereas, The Michigan Chemistry Council and the American Chemical Society believe National Chemistry Week is an opportunity for government to join forces with chemistry businesses, and the citizens of Michigan to ensure a prosperous and sustainable future; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this legislative body declare October 20-26, 2013, as Chemistry Week in the state of Michigan. We call the attention of all our citizens to this observance with the theme “Energy Now and Forever!”.

______
Rep. Schor, 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 HB 4327 because the idea of a tax increment capture district is to set a baseline, create more growth in the district, then capture the increased growth and use that to continually improve an area. This bill allows for a baseline to be reduced over any three year period if the capture is too low. While I am sympathetic with the plight of communities that created Corridor Improvement Authorities right before the Great Recession and have negative capture in those districts, I cannot support lowering the baseline because it goes against the idea of the TIF as indicated above. I would have preferred that this be sunsetted this year or only be for a very limited time, but that was not an option before me as I voted today. As such, I am forced to vote no and work on legislation that attempts to have TIF districts work in a more efficient manner.”

To the Speaker of the House of Representatives:
Sir—I have this day approved and signed
Enrolled House Bill No. 4636 (Public Act No. 139, I.E.), being

Explanation of “No” Votes
Rep. Howrylak having reserved the right to explain his nay vote pertaining to House Bill No. 4234, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no because this bill picks and choses winners and losers. For example, if a person sells a vehicle to someone other than a dealership and then uses the proceeds of that sale to purchase a vehicle at a dealership, then that person is paying tax on the full value of the newly purchased vehicle and the buyer of this used vehicle is also paying tax on its value. If this legislation is passed and signed into law, then only the difference between the two values will be subject to tax, but only if the vehicle is used as a trade-in and not if it is otherwise sold and its proceeds used to help purchase the new vehicle. The issue should not be whether or not trade-ins reduce the tax due on a dealership purchase, but rather should used vehicles be taxed at all. Indeed, this bill will have the effect of driving up the cost of used vehicles. It creates incentives to sell used vehicles to dealers rather than private parties. Indeed, it has picked and chosen one group of people as the winner and everyone else is a loser in this policy change. Finally, there is a large burden that this bill places on the transportation and school aid funds. In order to adjust, the State needs to reduce spending accordingly. This is not a likely outcome. The more likely outcome is that the rest of the state (those not purchasing a vehicle at a dealership with a trade-in allowance sales tax reduction) will pay higher taxes or not receive the benefit of a tax reduction that would otherwise occur (had this legislation not been adopted).”
