Fr. Thomas Kuehnemund, Pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Yale, offered the following invocation:

“Lord of Life:

We celebrate Your glory in these beautiful days of spring. In the flowering trees, in the chirping of the birds, in the warm rains, in the bright (occasional) sunshine, in the children playing outdoors, in the dandelions and in so many other ways You reveal Your unchanging and unconditional love for all of humanity.

Bless the good people of Michigan. Guide our footsteps and our thoughts so that we may enter into all struggles with the desire for the highest good. We pray that love will always be our guiding principle and all we ever say and do in our homes, schools, places of work and in our government may flow from love You put in our hearts.

We ask Your blessing, in a special way, on these men and women assembled for this meeting today. You have chosen them to lead and guide Your people. You have given them a most difficult task, but we trust You will give them the wisdom that is needed. We ask that You hold them and keep them always safe. Guide them in their work and give them a reward for their labors. May they serve You with grateful and loving hearts.

In Jesus’ name we pray.......”

House Resolution No. 90.

A resolution to declare May 17-23, 2015, as Michigan Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Michigan achieved statehood on January 26, 1837, becoming the 26th state of the United States of America; and

Whereas, The majestic state of Michigan is adorned with the riches of unspoiled nature including the world’s longest freshwater coastline, bountiful lakes, shimmering beaches, miles and miles of cherry orchards, glorious sunrises and sunsets, daytime skies of the deepest blue, and nighttime skies that are scattered with stars; and

Whereas, Home to more than 100 public beaches and lighthouses, some of the highest freshwater sand dunes in the world, stunning multi-colored sandstone cliffs, and numerous maritime museums, the state of Michigan offers plenty of engaging sights and activities for everyone; and

Whereas, Michigan has an abundance of cultural assets, from museums, historic sites, and art festivals to theaters and libraries that make our communities distinct, diverse, and appealing; and

Whereas, Michigan embraces the nation’s most skilled, innovated, and resilient residents who have earned this state a place of respect and distinction on both the national and global scale, making it the best place in the world to live, work, and raise a family; and

Whereas, Since 1954, Michigan Week has inspired citizens to reflect on, explore, and celebrate the history, resources, and opportunities that set our state apart and to focus on the time-honored traditions and shared heritage that connect and define Michiganians; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 17-23, 2015, as Michigan Week in the state of Michigan. We promote state pride among citizens and celebrate the rich heritage and unique features that make Michigan special. We encourage citizens and businesses from every community in our great state to support and celebrate all that Michigan has to offer and to keep the spirit of Michigan Week alive all year long.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Chirkun, Dianda, Derek Miller, Darany, Lane, Faris, Wittenberg, Hoadley, Guerra, Durhal, Greig, Yanez, Clemente, Love, Pagan, Brinks, Rutledge, Driskell, Byrd, Gay-Dagnogo, Liberati, Sheppard, Sarah Roberts, Greimel, LaVoy, Geiss, Chang, Moss, Schor, Dillon, Singh, Santana, Kosowski, Hovey-Wright, Kivela, Canfield, Kelly, Kesto, Howrylak, Chatfield, Barrett, Lucido, Glardon, Theis, Forlini, Crawford, Hughes, Maturen and Plawecki offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 91.

A resolution to declare May 2015 as Foster Care Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, There is nothing more precious to Michigan than the healthy growth and development of the young people who will determine the future direction of our state; and

Whereas, The family, serving as the primary source of love, identity, self-esteem, and support, is the very foundation of our communities and our state; and

Whereas, In Michigan, there are more than 13,000 children and youth in the foster care system who are being provided a safe, secure, and stable home environment along with the compassion and nurturing of a foster or relative foster family; and

Whereas, Foster families open their homes and hearts to children whose families are in crisis and thus they play a vital role in helping children and families heal, reconnect, and launch children into successful adulthood; and

Whereas, Dedicated foster families frequently adopt foster children resulting in a continual need for more foster families; and

Whereas, Foster Care Awareness Month in the state of Michigan is an appropriate opportunity to thank the families who embrace the often thankless responsibility of providing a home and family to children in need of affection, love, and security, and to support the efforts of those who dedicate their time to children in and leaving foster care; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan must do more to improve the lives of children in foster care; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2015 as Foster Care Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. We encourage more citizens to volunteer their time to become a mentor to a child that is in foster care; and realize that the state of Michigan must do more to improve the lives of children in foster care.

The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Pagan, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I rise in opposition to HB 4052, a bill that would limit the ability of locally elected governments and boards to do their job well and serve the people of our community. This bill is simply an overreach of State government and denies local control. Instead, we should be embracing the actions of what the majority of locally elected officials do and encourage bold leadership out of our local municipalities to lead the state.

In addition, this bill undermines local governments from passing non-discrimination ordinances, raising the minimum wage, extending earned paid sick days to employees, and ‘banning the box’ from employment applications. The ability of local governments to set standards to offer incentives for economic development is critical to the success of Michigan. This bill is a direct assault on the ability of our residents to have their local elected officials represent them freely and fairly. The state should not have the power to rule over our local governments and, therefore, I voted no on this bill.”

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:

Mr. Speaker, the stated purpose of this bill is allow the state to control wage and benefits. Essentially to prevent local governments from creating minimum wages in their communities. But the reality is that we have none of these local minimum wages. And, this bill goes much farther than that. Locals will continue to be able to offer local abatements for businesses, but will not be able to tell businesses what can or cannot be done with these tax dollars. So locals will give up the ability to put more police or firefighters on the street in order to have more business or jobs, but cannot require that these jobs come from within the community. Or that local goods and services are used as a result of giving up tax revenues. This bill also wipes out local ordinances in many communities that were adopted by the local government or at the ballot box. So don’t be fooled that this only prevents communities from enacting local minimum wages.

Many of us served in the local government. We attended MML and MTA and MAC conferences where we talked about local control and those in Lansing for violating that local control. How quickly we forget.

I served on a county commission for 10 years. During that time we considered many regulations and resolutions and ordinances. We passed a living wage ordinance. Why did we do that? Because Ingham county are raging liberals? No, we did it because we found we had county employees and employees of those that we contracts that were not making enough to avoid public assistance. We did it to save the county and our taxpayers money while still ensuring that our residents could afford to feed their families and keep them healthy. We decided we wanted our tax dollars to ensure a wage in for those receiving our county tax dollars that was above poverty. Businesses didn’t leave Ingham county as a result. In fact, our economy got better. We also have had a local prevailing wage policy for almost 15 years. Union and nonunion contractors alike bid for projects and get them. They make money by receiving county tax dollars to do county projects, and the county requires a prevailing wage be paid to their employees for our dollars. A win-win. But this bill seeks to wipe that out.

This bill also says that we don’t trust the locals to do what their constituents want. It says the Legislature knows best. After 80% of the Michigan public just told us they don’t trust us, this bill says we don’t trust our local officials. Well, the public trusts local officials more than us. According to the MSU State of the State survey, 19% said they trust state government, while 39% trust the local government. Yet here we are saying that we know better than the locals.

I understand the business community advocating for this. They want to reduce their costs. I get it. But we are the Legislature and need to balance the needs of our businesses with the needs of our residents. Our residents also have burdens and needs. They may want to reduce the tax dollars they have to pay for public assistance, so they may decide to require a living wage for employees who receive local public dollars. Or they may decide that they want to ensure that they have the best quality and safety for public buildings so they may pass a local prevailing wage for local tax dollars, as we have for both state and federal building projects. What is wrong with that? We need to balance the burdens of business with the needs of the community.

And what about competition? If a community passes something that is bad for business, then businesses will locate elsewhere. And the citizens will remove those local officials because the citizens want the businesses or jobs. That is the free market that I hear so much about. This bill is anti-free market and anti-competition.

So where is the problem? Why is it that businesses now face a burden that they haven’t faced for the last half century? The patchwork of communities that we continue to hear about has worked for 52 years, since Michigan residents adopted our current constitution. And if the patchwork of local government is so bad, then what about the different local millages? Different local planning and zoning? Why have local government at all? Seems we can govern from Lansing.

Well, this constitution was made to prevent that exact situation. Before this constitution, the state passed laws for local communities. That didn’t work, so they instead went to home rule and local control. According to this bill, those in the constitutional convention and the voters had no idea what they were doing when the constitutional convention - with people like George Romney - put local control into the constitution and the people of Michigan approved it.

This bill goes way too far. It is a violation of the home rule and local control put into our constitution which we all swore to uphold. I hope you will heed the voices of your citizens through your local officials - the democrats and republicans elected at our city, village, township, and county offices - that want us to trust them and to retain control that has worked since 1963.

Vote no on this bill.”

Rep. Moss, 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 oppose House Bill 4052 because it removes the ability of a local government to enact ordinances to keep their local economy thriving. Wage protection and business growth are not opposing values.”

Rep. Geiss, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Thank you Mr. Speaker for allowing me to speak in opposition to House Bill 4052. On the surface, to many, this bill seems as if it will make things easier, more streamlined for businesses in our communities and the local governmental bodies referenced therein. But that’s not the case, because ‘the devil is in the details,’ and the details of this bill’s language are indeed quite devilish.

The bill serves to not just ‘limit the powers of local governmental bodies’ as the summary states, but to completely subvert them and the ability of local governmental bodies—from our counties, cities, townships, commissions, school boards from enacting polices, rules, ordinances and the like that make their communities safer, better, more enriching places for their residents, constituents and primary stakeholders.

The bill subverts home rule. The bill undermines local control.

The bill disenfranchises entire members of our community by restricting the power that their locally elected bodies have and the impact that they can make on their communities—for the better. Things that are not about trying to create red tape, but that are about aiming to address the needs of humans—who are the residents and visitors to our communities—the very people who work in and are patrons of or customers of the businesses in our communities. Local governmental bodies are people-oriented as they strike a balance with the business side of what they do; but this bill takes a swipe at many people-oriented policies, ordinances and rules that local governmental bodies could enact (or may have enacted already) in order to improve their communities—large and small.

Allow me to broaden the scope of this lens a bit for a moment. What this body is doing with this bill were it to pass would be like the members of Congress in D.C. telling us here in Lansing…the people that our residents trusted us enough to send here to work on their behalf that we can no longer do an important aspect of jobs—that is enacting policies, ordinances, regulations that directly pertain to the employment relationship between non-public employers and our state, polices that would benefit our state and the people in it.

That thought is unconscionable, ludicrous, beyond the pale even. That thought—that very premise is anathema to why we are here—and we lose our minds when we find ourselves hamstrung by D.C. from doing the jobs that the people – our people elected us to do. So I ask: Why would we do the same to our local governmental units?

It was my hope that my colleagues would have considered that deeply and that more of them had made the decision that they knew our constituents—our neighbors, friends, the people we see at the market, out walking the dog, at little league and football games, at the car wash, and at community meetings—would have wanted us all to make.”

Rep. LaVoy, 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:

This bill passed with bi-partisan opposition and the support of only one party. It continues the patriarchal theme of the current majority in Lansing. I support local control and truly believe smaller units of government are better suited to know what is best for their citizens.”

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
