Rev. Robert H. Roth, Jr., Chaplain of the Wesley Foundation at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, offered the following invocation:

“God of All Peoples,

We give You thanks for the extraordinary blessings we know here in the beautiful state of Michigan. We are thankful for the rivers, the ponds, the trees, and the birds. We are thankful for the animals in these forests and the crops from these farmlands. We are thankful for the astonishing beauty and plenitude of these Great Lakes. Their vast abundance brings us to a place of awe. May we always be good stewards.

We give You thanks for the people of this wonderful State, in all of their diversity and complexity and giftedness. From the smallest village and crossroads to the largest city and intersection, we pray that this day would bring us closer to one another and move us forward in a true sense of community and advancement for all. May we always be compassionate.

And finally, we give You thanks for this Michigan House of Representatives. We thank You for the hard work and personal commitment to build a better Michigan found in every Representative, every staff person, and every visitor. May each give the other the benefit of the doubt this day, in a spirit of patience and hopefulness. May the decisions made today be made with an awareness of the higher possibilities, and the greater good for generations to come. Amen.”

Associate Speaker Pro Tempore O’Brien called Associate Speaker Pro Tempore Cotter to the Chair.

Comments and Recommendations

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

The motion prevailed.

Rep. Oakes:

“It’s been said that in life two things are promised- death and taxes. Well, if you have the of honor of being elected to the legislature, with term limits, you can add the end of your legislative service to that list of promises. Now that end can come sooner if you are defeated in a subsequent election but the end will inevitably come.

Most people like to hear themselves speak as oppose to listening to others, so this speech will have a beginning, middle, and end and I will keep them as close together as possible as to not lose any listeners along the way.

My service started in lame duck of 2010. Class of two, which included Mike Shirkey. We both discovered that the chairs, although only graced by a few, were not comfortable at all and we glared across the room at each other as we sat for 9-hours. Before long I saw Mike standing and leveraging a stack of books.

On a good note, I had the distinct pleasure of being able to say I served in the majority where I passed a resolution and discharge a bill out of committee that became law. That was an awesome two weeks. Thank you Andy Dillon for that delusional state of euphoria that I took into my first term in the minority.

It was time to get the expungement bill done that I had worked on as a staffer 8 years ago. I was affectionately called the Rain Man by Rep. Haveman and I think I almost made Rep. Walsh curse me, as I attempted to get a hearing on the expungement bill. How hard could it be, I had gotten a resolution passed and discharged a bill from a committee? I did figure it out Rep. Walsh. I would apologize but my advocacy was sincere even if my passion was misguided. Thanks Rep. Hammel and team for your patience.

Over the next two years I found myself growing hardened. The sergeants would ask me why wasn’t I smiling. Thanks for caring.

I was still grieving the death of a brother in 2011 while preparing to bury a father in 2012. It wasn’t fair. I had already lost a sister to cancer and a nephew. Through that experience I drew closer to certain members, staff, and Lobbyists. I learned of others who had lost a sibling, a child, who had a child go missing, who lost a parent, who was adopted, and who had children who were ill and those who suffered from their own illnesses. That put things into perspective.

My two seat-mates provided me some protection and kept me busy as I sat between them teaching them how to use their newly discovered electronics. Woodrow you and Bledsoe are good men even if you are technically challenged.

Thank you Rep. Stallworth for having me as your Vice-Chair of the Legislative Black Caucus. Thank you Tim Greimel for naming me the Minority Whip and all of the associate whips Rep. Slavens, Rep. Kosowski, and Rep. Darany and the policy and communication staff for your service to the caucus.

To my staff Roland Anderson and Sharon Floyd who started with me and finished with me - thank you. Thank you Dan Opsommer and I promise to keep working towards autism awareness.

To clerk Randall, EFM is the acronym for Emergency Financial Manager.

Mom I will now have more time to spend with you, but know that I will always cherish Mondays with Mom - Maggie Erwin.

Thank you to my husband Michael Lynn Oakes for allowing me to serve as we raised Michael Lynn and Kingston Lynn Oakes. Mommas coming home.

Yours in service,

Stacy Lynn Erwin Oakes”

Rep. McMillin:

“Mr. Speaker,

I rise to say a few words as I prepare to depart this chamber.

First, I’d like to mention some of the efforts I’m pleased to have played a role in:

1. Reforming our Indigent Defense system, to ensure we don’t take away our citizens’ liberty for a crime they didn’t commit.

2. Stopping common core, at least temporarily, and forcing a debate on the nationalization of education in our state.

3. Uncapping charter schools, to help ensure thousands of kids will get a decent education, instead of being stuck in a failing school – which would, no doubt, have been their fate.

4. The 80/20 hardcap, to ensure our government employees pay as much as our average non-government citizens do for health insurance.

5. NDAA legislation, to help ensure the federal government doesn’t take away our citizens’ rights to due process.

6. The metrics and scorecards for state departments’ spending. We as a state must get to what the governor called ‘value for money budgeting’ – and be able to clearly articulate the specific outcomes of the spending of our taxpayers’ money.

7. Transparency in our offices’ spending – we still are the only chamber that is transparent in our office spending and staff salaries. Taxpayers deserve that information.

8. The ongoing exposure and beating up on the fallacy known as corporate welfare. The government does central planning very poorly. Well-connected businesses get money, funded by everyone else. These schemes do more harm than good.

9. And pushing back on the assault on our citizens’ freedoms and liberties, like:

a. Working to get transparency and reforms to civil asset forfeiture

b. Working for SWAT raid transparency

c. Working to restrain government from assaulting our citizens’ privacy with:

i. Government drones

ii. License plate readers

iii. Facial recognition/biometric devices

iv. Military style surveillance devices like Hailstorm

v. Participation with federal warrantless checkpoints

vi. The use of warrantless GPS devices & cell phone tracking

vii. State & locals assisting with NSA violations of the 4th amendment and

viii. The use of government databases with no oversight like metro-Detroit’s CLEMIS system.

At the very least, we need transparency in these areas – we should know more details about how the government takes assets away from our citizens without a conviction, through civil asset forfeiture; why and what are the results of the growing number of SWAT raids in our state and the increased militarization of law enforcement. And our citizens should know more about how their government is surveilling and tracking them through the efforts I just mentioned - drones, license plate readers, military style surveillance devices, warrantless GPS devices and various databases.

I hope returning and future legislators will pick up on these and other issues – like ‘free the jitney’; FOIA reform (though, hopefully the senate will pass Rep. Shirkey’s HB4001 before we finish), 10th amendment issues, body cameras for law enforcement, state and local spending transparency, fighting for local control in education and stopping the increased high-stakes testing in our public schools, that only causes the elimination of so many of the subjects that give students a well- rounded education, in favor of whatever is on the test.

And finally, a few thank yous and acknowledgements.

First, thank you to the citizens of the 45th district for allowing me to represent you these last six years.

Thank you to my wife, Dalila for tolerating the requirements this position has put on her. She always said, before she met me 10 years ago, that the one thing she’d never do is marry a politician.

Thank you to my staff, both current and former – Jonathan, Alex, Brent, Josiah, Maureen and Derek.

Thank you Mr. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to chair Oversight, JCAR and Education for a time.

Thank you to the Republican House members, for putting up with all my questions during weekly caucus meetings.

Brian Mills and Hassan Beydoun – your wisdom and integrity have been and will continue to be invaluable to the legislature and the people of Michigan.

Thank you to the republican members who stood with me under very intense pressure and forced a serious debate and defunded, for awhile, common core last year. As an aside, I do think the legislature needs to exert its power more often during the budget process. That is your time to stop bad things that the executive branch may be doing. Use boilerplate – in it, you can stop pretty much anything the state does – it is your real power.

Thank you to now Congressman Justin Amash. I learned a lot from you those two years you were here. And thank you for speaking in my place against the $100 million, $333,000 per job, corporate welfare scheme when I was denied the ability to speak on the floor back in 2009.

To representatives Irwin and Robinson – I have enjoyed working with you on the many we agree…and Representative Robinson, you are one of the greatest advocates for our citizens’ rights….rights that are increasingly under assault. Thank you for participating in my Winter Liberty Discussions. And thank you for co‑sponsoring more of my bills than anyone else in this chamber.

Thank you to the Mackinac Center and the Institute for Justice for your resources and insight…and yes, thank you to the ACLU – we definitely have our areas of strong disagreement, but I enjoyed working with you, Shelli, on so many very important issues – like indigent defense, civil asset forfeiture, drones, NDAA, free speech issues, GPS and cell phone tracking, government surveillance, CLEMIS database oversight and FOIA reform…so many of the issues I think Republicans and Democrats need to work closer together to restrain the government from trampling on our citizens’ rights.

To close, I would simply ask that God would bless the citizens of Michigan and that He bless each and every one of you.

Thank you.”

Comments and Recommendations

Rep. Nathan:

“I was really perplexed about what to talk about in this speech.

Over the last five years I/we have heard a number of speeches from members that focused on different things. Some focused on thanking the people who assisted them in this process, speeches that offered advice to the members that will remain and serve in the next session, and there have been speeches from members admonishing this body for its actions during their time here. And we have heard very emotional speeches that made our eyes tear. Then it came to me, I can talk about anything I want to. So I decided to mix it up. But then I thought about a letter I received from the floor leaders office informing me I only had 5 minutes to speck. I quickly realized that 5 minutes in the legislature is at least 15 minutes, so I have plenty of time.

November 2008 changed my life, and this country forever. For that was the year I was elected and this country elected its first Black president. I am elated that my name appeared on the ballot and was elected at the same time we elected the first Black president of these United States. I sometime joke about it, saying President Obama helped me get elected and I helped him. We both got people to the polls. I am also proud that my grandmother who will be turning 90 years old this coming January was here to be a part of this historic and life changing experience. She could not have imagine this would happen in her life time. Nor could I. Shortly after the election was certified and it was official, I asked a very good friend of mine, Circuit Court judge, Vonda Evans if she would come to my grandmother’s house and administer the oath of office to me in front of my family and friends, and she agreed. I also invited my pastor to come a pray for me, as I was entering into this new experience. My close friends and family came in support of me. That was a very happy and memorable day for the entire family that I will never forget it.

Speaking of family, this would not have been possible without the support of my family. I would like to thank my wife Leslie, who not only walked and knocked doors with me every single day, she was my campaign manager, treasurer, bookkeeper, finance manager and an all-around super woman through the election. I would have been lost without her. To my children Davonta, David Jr., Jasmine and my son Nigel who is a campaign baby that came a few months later. Davonta and David Jr. were my secret weapon on Election Day. At that time, Davonta was 13 and David was 10. While working the polls, when they encountered a voter coming to vote, they would smile and say to them, ‘Will you please vote for my Daddy’. Who could say no to that?

We won the election by 99 votes. Thank you boys, I could not have gotten it done without you. Too my current staff Victoria Shulman and Isaac Robinson thank you for your service to the constituents of District 8. I would also like to thank my former staff members for their service to both the residents of District 8 and the former District 11. I could not have done anything worthwhile for our constituents without your help, again, thank you.

Similarly, if not for the help of a few people that I would like to show my appreciation too, my learning curve here would have been a little steeper.

• Bert Johnson thank you for helping me get settled into the job after I got here, I will never forget it, you will be my friend for life.

• Woodrow Stanley and Harold Haugh, thank you both for sharing your wisdom with me over the last 6 years. It always helps to have a couple of wise senior citizens around you. No seriously, I am stronger and better because of both of you.

• I can’t begin to tell you what I would have done without Tim Bowlin and the business office staff, Matt Thompson, Michelle Hildebrandt, Mark Meyer and the whole entire staff on the 10th floor of the house office building, thank you all for the assistance you provided to me and my office.

• The crew up in information technology are top notch, I want to give a special thanks to Toniah Bryant she has always been there when I needed her. Thanks to the maintenance crew, the carpenters, and to the folks in the mail room. Nate, you are the man.

• To the democratic legal team, our former legal counsel Shelia Cummings, and our current counsel Patti Tremblay-Pluta, thank you for your counsel. I would be remised if I did not say thank you to the lobby core for what they do for this process. Clerks RICH Brown and Gary Randall thank you both for your dedication to excellence. Regardless of who is in charge, the clerk’s office does not skip a beat.

• I must tell my former seat mates Dian Slavens and Lisa Brown thanks for always having a snack for me during those late night sessions in our first term.

• This next group of superstars deserve more than just a thank you. We could not feel or be any safer than we are now. Chief Dickson, and the house sergeants do a yeomen’s job here on the floor, and in the house office building of protecting us from not only one another but anyone that would want to bring us harm. When I was attacked on the floor last session by a colleague, Chief Dickson did not let anything or anyone get in his way to come to my assistance. I know he would do the same for anybody in this room. I would like for us to take a moment, and give the sergeants who keep us safe here in Lansing every day, a heartwarming round of applause.

If I missed thanking anybody please charge it to the time I have to speak, not my heart. In closing, I would like to share a few highlights or moments where I felt proud, happy or it made me smile.

After winning the election in 2008 I receive a call from a reporter at the Gongwer News service here in Lansing who was doing a story about my race. The reporter ask me what did I do to win this election. I replied ‘I had a no loose policy’ he chuckled. The next day I received a call from someone here in Lansing telling me that my statement to the reporter was the ‘quote of the day’. The person went on to say, that that was the first time he could remember someone receiving the quote of the day before they got to Lansing. (That made me smile).

In my first term… I was chosen by then speaker Dillon to escort then Governor Granholm into the house chamber to give the State of the State address. (That made me happy). In my second term, I got a call from Speaker Bolger’s office asking if I would allow one of my children to participate in the seat selection process. Of course I said yes. My son David was one of two member’s children who helped with the seat selection in the 96th legislative session (That made me proud). So for those of you who think the only way to leave this place feeling good about this experience, is to have the gavel, think again. Thank you Speaker Dillon and Speaker Bolger for giving me a reason to feel proud, happy and smile about this awesome experience. May God Bless each and every one you for the rest of your days here on earth.”

Rep. O’Brien:

“Thank you Mr. Speaker. Today, I want to express my gratitude to the many people who I have been blessed to know throughout my life.

First I give praise to God for allowing me to live in this great country and to meet amazing people like you.

My path started when I was born to a father with a 5th grade education and a mother with a high school diploma. Growing up on the farm, I learned a lot from the school of hard knocks. From my parents, I learned that working hard is the right thing to do and complaining does not get the job done. My mom, who sacrificed her own dreams for her family, also taught me to aim high, even if I did not know how I would get there. My dad taught me enthusiasm. When I ran for local office, he plastered our section of the street with my yard signs even though we lived on a dead end road. My parents never got to see me win any office. My mom, Katheleen died when I was 19. And my dad, Richard passed away a month before I married. But I know both are proud that I dared to dream big and chase those dreams.

As the 3rd of 4 children and the only girl, my brothers prepared me for politics. From my older two brothers, I learned to ask why- like why did they want to play with me? Unfortunately, I learned the hard way. Shocking me with electricity and trying to bury me alive were just two of their attempts at including me. Politics is often the art of figuring out who has your best interests in mind and who is trying to use you for an end goal you do not support. My brothers’ lessons taught me what I needed in order to be successful. Today they are my biggest fans, and I thank you Keith, Mike and Aaron.

At the age of 22, I graduated college 8 months pregnant. Despite what would seem to be insurmountable hurdles, I was blessed to meet people who believed I had something to offer. To Fran Denny and Dale Shugars, thank you. You encouraged me to aim higher, pushed me to be better and picked me up when I fell. Your mentorship has meant so much to me.

Many of us have amazing families who have sacrificed so we can do the job we feel called to do. To my husband Nick, you are a saint. You dated me when I first ran for office, and over our 14 year marriage, we have run 7 more elections of our own. Not only did you knock doors, you took care of our family and worked a full time job. God blessed me when He put you in my path. To my children- Tyjon and Samantha- you have given so much in your young lives. Tyjon- you’re the reason I am here. You forced me to get my priorities straight and I am so blessed to be your mama. Samantha- you may not be my child by birth, but you are my child by heart. Thank you to both of you for enduring the many comments about me and for knocking tens of thousands of doors over the years. It was not always fun, but we did it because our family is one team.

I also must note my many cousins, aunts and uncles who have stepped in to love me and support me. Thank you.

Getting here was a long path. Speaker Bolger- we both ran for office in 2008 with you getting elected and me losing a close race. Thank you for befriending me, encouraging me and for giving me an underground heated parking space the last 4 years. You have been there for me no matter how much I have tested your patience. It has been a privilege to share a county with you and to call you a friend.

To my sisters- Senator Tonya Schuitmaker and Treasurer Mary Balkema- not only have we put fear in to a lot of people, but you believed in me even when I did not believe. We have shown that women are strong while also being compassionate. Your friendship has transformed my life.

Like the speakers before me, there are so many people I want to thank and so little time. I will mention a few. Lesia Liss, Richard LeBlanc, Bill Rogers- thank you for setting an amazing example of bipartisanship. You prove serious work can be fun. Gail Haines and Lisa Lyons- we have shared some amazing times but house rules prevent me from sharing much. Harvey Santana- you and I met at orientation and you told me it would be a long 2 years of voting no. I looked at you and said ‘I am in the majority. I will be voting yes.’ You and I have come a long way, and I respect you. Pete Lund and Tom McMillin- I gaveled you both down in the same day. A girl can achieve her dreams. Frank Foster- you led on autism and allowed me to join the cause. Lisa and I will never be able to replace you in our special caucus. Andy Schor- David Knezek and I will babysit your kids any session day. Isn’t it great David that we are the cool kids? Ken Kurtz- I will miss your wisdom and the many trips we took in the countryside.

Majority Floor Leader Stamas- you have been a confidant and led by example. Rose Mary Robinson- You are a strong woman with a consistent viewpoint. It has been an honor to work with you and to learn from you. I am proud to earn my law degree from the Robinson School of Law. Speaker Pro Tem John Walsh- you bring understanding and dignity to everything. You allowed me to lead so I could learn.

Mike McCready- keep your hands off my trailer plates but thank you for being my best buddy and naming a bill after me. Matt Lori- I still have a job opening for you. Thank you for always meeting with my constituents on DCH issues. Ben Glardon- I am sorry we delicensed auctioneers because I am sure I could become one. David Rutledge- you are the definition of honor. Bob Kosowski- you are always ready to find a solution and you represent your district as well as LeBlanc. Al Pscholka- despite being the 2nd most hated man in the world, you are a teddy bear who always helped me without question.

To the Upper Peninsula delegation- thank you for making me an honorary Yooper and for being amazing friends. I plan to keep visiting and spending my money in your districts. Jeff Farrington- I want to know what you did to the Speaker that caused him to place you between me and Vicki Barnett in Tax Policy as your Vice Chairs. Vicki- we had some fun at Jeff’s expense. Peter Pettalia and Jon Bumstead- thanks for taking care of me when I had foot surgery. You are great roomies. Adam Zemke- I barged into your office almost 2 years ago and grilled you about why you ran for office. You were willing to work with me despite thinking I was insane. Thank you for showing that people of different political parties can work toward the same goal in a manner that includes everyone. Aric Nesbitt- You are my big brother despite being younger than me. You have wisdom beyond your years, and I treasure the memories we have shared. We always have fun together. I am honored to be part of your family, and I thank you for being a part of mine. I am happy our blondtourage will remain intact.

Gary Randall and Rich Brown- you have entertained me with enough stories that would fill a book. Thank you for keeping dignity in the House while also maintaining a sense of humor. And Gary, no matter what Rich says, I know you did not lay the cornerstone of the Capitol building. And to the entire clerk staff- thank you for your work. You document everything and keep up no matter how fast I talk. Your work is so important to our state.

Alice- you make sure we have coffee, tea, toilet paper, hand lotion. Thank you for taking care of the little things that make our day a little easier.

Chief Sergeant Dickson and all of our Sergeants at arms- I have always felt safe in this chamber, in the HOB and the sidewalk in between. Thank you for caring for us like family and cheering me on when I chair the House. I will always have cookies for all of you.

The Capitol staff and tour guides- you make a visit to the Capitol an amazing experience for so many. Thank you for caring so deeply for the rich history of our state and this building.

Dick Posthumous- thank you for always being willing to fight with me. I know I am not as difficult as Lisa.

And to my staff past and present- Stephanie, Alex, Derek, Chelsea, Savannah- thank you for serving the constituents of the 61st district. You have changed lives.

Like many, I am grateful to the lobbying corps but would like to give a special shout out to the education stakeholders for taking a leap of faith with Representative Zemke and me.

It has been an honor and privilege to serve in the House of Representatives. Thank you everyone, and God Bless all of you.”
