Heavenly Father, we ask You today to remind us of the great duty we have to each other, which is forgiveness. When we are wronged, we need to forgive. When we wrong others, we need to ask for forgiveness. Help us, Lord, to understand that after being scourged, beaten, and nailed to a cross, some of Your final words were, “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.”

As we go through our trials, help us to remember, Lord, that we have never been treated as badly as You were. If you can forgive, then so can we. Help us to overcome our human frailties—our pride and our arrogance. Help us to be humble in all that we do.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Senator Caswell offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 186.

A resolution to commemorate October 2014 as Youth Justice Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The historical role of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate and treat youth while holding them accountable for their actions and maintaining public safety. It is, therefore, acknowledged that, when possible, keeping youth within their families, homes, and communities is a best practice; and

Whereas, Youth are developmentally different from adults, and these differences are documented by research on the adolescent brain and acknowledged by many state and federal laws that treat youth disparately based upon their age and stage of development; and

Whereas, Most laws allowing the prosecution of youth as adults were enacted prior to evidence produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention that demonstrate that about 70 to 80 percent of youth treated in a punitive, nontherapeutic program will reoffend; and

Whereas, It is estimated that over 70 percent of children in the juvenile justice system have a diagnosable mental health condition, of which 30 percent have a serious emotional disturbance; and

Whereas, Youth detained or involved in the juvenile or criminal justice system should be kept in the least restrictive setting possible, with family inclusion and services provided to aid in treatment; and

Whereas, 200,000 youth are tried, sentenced, or incarcerated as adults every year in the United States, and most of the youth are prosecuted for nonviolent offenses; and

Whereas, Youth with criminal records face hurdles with regard to education and employment; and

Whereas, Moving a youth from the adult criminal justice system into community-based services or to the juvenile justice system is more cost-effective; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That we hereby commemorate October 2014 as Youth Justice Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Senators Bieda, Booher, Green, Hansen, Jansen, Marleau, Pappageorge, Proos and Richardville were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.

Senator Casperson offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 187.

A resolution to urge the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reverse its recent acceptance of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator’s proposed system support resource cost allocation tariff that would allocate approximately 99.5 percent of costs to utility customers in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and to divide the costs in a more equitable manner.

Whereas, Several years ago, the American Transmission Company (ATC), which owns electric transmission facilities in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, as well as parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota, agreed on a cost allocation methodology for system support resource (SSR) payments and included this methodology in the tariff with the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), the regional operator of the transmission grid. The tariff provided that the costs associated with running an electric generating power plant subject to an SSR agreement would be allocated to all electric utilities within the ATC’s footprint on a pro-rata basis; and

Whereas, Early in 2014, partly because of burdensome Environmental Protection Agency regulations and costs, Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WEPCo) stated its renewed intention to close the Presque Isle Power Plant (PIPP), a coal-fired power plant with a capacity of over 400 megawatts located on Lake Superior in Marquette, Michigan. However, as the PIPP is the most significant source of generation left in the Upper Peninsula and critical to providing regional grid reliability, MISO has determined that WEPCo must continue to run the PIPP. Consequently, the PIPP is subject to an SSR agreement between WEPCo and MISO; and

Whereas, The Wisconsin Public Service Commission filed a complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) claiming that the SSR cost methodology contained in the ATC tariff was unlawful. In July 2014, in response to the complaint, FERC required MISO to submit a revised SSR cost methodology that placed most of the SSR costs onto Upper Peninsula ratepayers; and

Whereas, A recent FERC order requires payments of an estimated $100 million annually to keep the PIPP operational, a figure that both Wisconsin’s and Michigan’s public service commissions have said represents unreasonable recoveries for the utility; and

Whereas, While these actions were occurring, WEPCo also sought the creation of a new local balancing authority (LBA), which resulted in pushing more SSR costs onto Michigan ratepayers. The creation of this new LBA would mean that approximately 99.5 percent of the costs of keeping the PIPP operational are borne by the Upper Peninsula, making electric utility customers in the Upper Peninsula alone responsible for at least $99.5 million annually just for plant operations; and

Whereas, FERC’s ruling, MISO’s revised SSR cost methodology, and WEPCo’s creation of a new LBA will cause an increase in electric rates that will almost certainly devastate seniors, small businesses, and families across the Upper Peninsula. MISO’s proposed cost allocation tariff, coupled with the creation of a new LBA, not only ignores the historical division of these costs and has nothing to do with reliability, which heretofore served as the basis for allocating such costs, but is unreasonable, unfair, and unjust; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we urge the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reverse its recent acceptance of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator’s proposed system support resource cost allocation tariff that would allocate approximately 99.5 percent of costs to utility customers in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula; and be it further

Resolved, That we urge the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to instead divide the costs in a more equitable manner and one mindful of historical context and the American Transmission Company’s cost allocation agreement; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Governor of Michigan, the Governor of Wisconsin, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the members of the Wisconsin congressional delegation.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Meekhof moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The resolution was adopted.

Senator Casperson asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Casperson’s statement is as follows:

I rise in support of Senate Resolution No. 187. Just briefly, on this resolution, what we are dealing with right now is that FERC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, has made a ruling that has separated the Upper Peninsula from the MISO footprint which we are currently governed under. What that decision will do is transfer the entire cost of the Upper Peninsula and the power plant there onto every one of the ratepayers in the Upper Peninsula. The normal practice is to spread it evenly throughout everyone in the system.

We are asking that FERC rethink that decision. The burden on our people in the Upper Peninsula will be overwhelming. We need some time to resolve this problem, and we are simply asking for them to pull back on that decision, giving us more time.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 20.

A concurrent resolution to oppose the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal to garnish wages without a court order.

The question being on the adoption of the following committee substitute:

Statements

Senators Bieda and Young asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Bieda’s statement is as follows:

I would like to offer a memorial tribute in the Journal to a good friend. The city of Eastpointe mayor pro tempore, Bill Sweeney, passed away unexpectedly on September 23.

Bill was born on November 12, 1960, in Gladwin, Michigan. For the past 29 years, Bill has resided in Eastpointe, Michigan, where he raised his loving family. His passion for making Eastpointe a wonderful place to live for his family and others led to his involvement in local city government. He began his service on the City Council in November 2005 and served as Eastpointe mayor pro tempore since November 2011.

Bill was the driving force in crafting ordinances which hold landlords responsible for the maintenance of the homes they own, as well as other blight-related ordinances. Bill was the City Council’s liaison to the Eastpointe Beautification Commission, a pastime that reinforced his interest in keeping things looking good around the city.

Bill was dedicated to his children and the youth in his community. He served as a coach for youth roller hockey and softball teams for the 8 Mile and Kelly Homeowners Association. Furthermore, he entertained the kids in the community by completing his role as Santa Claus’ representative and participating in East Detroit High School’s Put’n On The Ritz. Bill brought a great deal of energy, dedication, and pride to the city of Eastpointe. Indeed, he was a much beloved community leader who was much admired and will be long remembered.

Surely, we all have the desire to be remembered by those we encounter along life’s journey, and, for Bill, that is exactly the case. Many hold fond memories of Bill and admire him for his tireless efforts in making Eastpointe a great place to live.

In paying homage to his life and memory, we also honor the people who were closest to him, including his wife Peggy, to whom he delivered flowers every week; his son Bradley; daughter Breann; and stepchildren Jason and Shannon; siblings Michael Wiggins, Ronald Wiggins, and Walda Yates; and many brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews. We wish them comfort in their memory of him as a fine man and outstanding citizen, and may his family know our respect for all he has accomplished.

A moment of silence was observed in memory of Eastpointe Mayor pro tempore Bill Sweeney.

Senator Young’s statement is as follows:

I would like to start with a quote. Leonardo da Vinci said, “Water is the driving force of all nature.” Madam President, there is a crisis going on in Detroit. People cannot bathe; they cannot feed themselves, wash themselves after injuries, or flush the toilets because they do not have water. Their water is being shut off at an alarming rate. One of the reasons for this is because we have these leaders who are in all these houses charging people for water they did not use. This is going back farther than when they lived in the houses.

There are also citizens who may live in a neighborhood where they are the only person in that house, the rest of the block has abandoned buildings on the block, and they have leaking water in the houses. One out of every abandoned building in the city of Detroit has leaking water. As a result, these citizens are being charged at an exorbitant rate for water that they aren’t using. As a result, you have the water department coming in and shutting people’s water off without addressing the real issue. It is not that people are delinquent; it is not that they can’t pay. You have folks paying for water they are not using. This is fundamentally wrong.

In this state, where we are to practice equality under the law, that must stop. We are having real victims. If you are a parent and you have a couple of kids, you can’t say you don’t have water in the house, because if you do, they will take your kids away from you. This is something that is going on every day. I am just here to say that we need to have a moratorium on these water shutoffs.

They were talking about shutting off water in the residential areas, but when it came time to shut off water for nonpayment in the commercial and industrial areas, the corporation that does that, Harmrick, says they don’t have the tools necessary to shut off the water. I don’t care if you are the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, or the corporate raider, everyone should be treated the same. When you go on a raid at Jo Jo’s house cutting his water off and you say you don’t have the tools to cut off the major corporations’ water, that is a significant problem. It is not that you can’t, but you don’t have the necessary tools. So even if they are not using their water, we still can’t cut them off because we don’t have the tools. That is incompetence—plain and simple.

Detroiters deserve better and Michigan can do better. We need to have a moratorium on these water shutoffs. The fact that we have the UN coming here talking about rights violations is an embarrassment. If you are not embarrassed, I am embarrassed enough for both of us. It is disgraceful. I don’t care how many ads or conversations about Detroit coming back, if people don’t have access to water, we aren’t going anywhere—period.

We must fix this, we are better than this, and we want better for our citizens than this. If anyone is facing injustice, everybody is facing injustice. It doesn’t matter if it is my district in Detroit or Kalamazoo or anywhere. The only purpose of power is to serve the powerless and to be a voice for the voiceless. If we have an opportunity to make change, we should do it.

I encourage everyone in Lansing to put a moratorium on these water shutoffs until we figure out what is going on, and treat the people in a more humane way.
