Father God, we come to You in prayer, thanking You for this day, and also thanking You for this legislative body which has gathered today to make laws that will help and not harm Your people, and that will uplift and not cause spirits to be downtrodden. Father, it is no coincidence that the men and women who make up this Senate have been chosen for this time and this moment to lead. We realize, Father, that You have made us all uniquely and distinctively different in the ways that we think and process information. Therefore, we ask that we come together, agreeing to think only in terms of what will be best for our people.

We also realize that all things happen according to Your perfect plan, although we sometimes don’t understand what that plan is or where that plan will ultimately lead us. So, Father, it is with sincerity and humility that we pray for Your guidance in all decisions we make, knowing that all things will work out for Your good, according to Your perfect plan.

We ask this and all things in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Assistant President pro tempore, Senator O’Brien, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:

Today I rise to commemorate the anniversary of a significant day in Michigan’s history. Eighty years ago today, on June 7, 1937, nearly 5,000 union members and supporters arrived in downtown Lansing and took part in what is known as a general strike. They nonviolently forced shops, theaters, factories, and offices to close, resulting in the virtual shutdown of the entire city. These events were the culmination of the efforts of a weeks-long strike lead by the UAW Local 182 president, Lester Washburn.

It all began at 2:00 a.m. on June 7, 1937, when Lansing’s sheriff cut the phone lines to the Washburn home and attempted to arrest Mr. Washburn. Unfortunately, Mr. Washburn was not there, and instead, the sheriff arrested his wife. He left their three children unattended at their house. Upon returning home, Mr. Washburn called a meeting at the union hall where the union decided to call a labor holiday, otherwise known as the general strike.

The next work day, in protest of the arrest of Mrs. Washburn, nearly 5,000 union members and sympathizers poured into the streets of downtown Lansing, shutting down many of the businesses for the day while Washburn and other union representatives negotiated the release of those imprisoned. By nightfall, after the intervention of Governor Frank Murphy, the holiday was over, and before long, the employer had negotiated a contract with its workers.

The Lansing Labor Holiday was a rare instance of a mass, spontaneous demonstration by the working class of the city of Lansing to address the injustices standing in the way of the momentum of union organizing in the late 1930s. The peaceful and successful Lansing Labor Holiday gave a voice to the desires of this generation of newly empowered workers. In search of fairer wages and safer workplace conditions, these workers risked everything and fought for better conditions for all workers. Today we recognize these workers who paved the way, and today we recognize that this fight continues 80 years later.

Today I am joined by UAW Local 652 president, Mike Green, and Sparrow labor community liaison, Clair Corr. Claire is a UAW member and community advocate who has dedicated her career to not only making our community better, but fighting for all workers here in our community. Mike, a Lansing GM employee and UAW member since 1978—I was born in 1978, so I know it’s a long time—is a third-generation GM employee. He has spent his long career advocating for the workers of Local 652, telling the world that we have the best of the best here in Lansing. A famous quote from Mike Green is, “Can you think of a better investment than in the American worker? I can’t.”

The Lansing Labor Holiday workers were the backbone of the labor movement here in our community. Today we honor their sacrifices and fight to continue their work 80 years later.

Senator Nofs entered the Senate Chamber.

Senator Kowall moved that rule 3.902 be suspended to allow the guests of Senator Colbeck admittance to the Senate floor, including the center aisle.

Resolutions

Senator Kowall moved that consideration of the following resolutions be postponed for today:

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 10

Senate Resolution No. 36

The motion prevailed.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 8.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to include transportation costs as a qualified education expense under the Section 529 Qualified Tuition Program.

Whereas, Congress created the qualified tuition program to provide individuals with a means to save and pay for higher education. Earnings on Section 529 Qualified Tuition Program (529 plan) accounts are exempt from federal taxes when the savings are used to pay for qualified higher education and vocational training expenses. The 529 plans encourage savings and decrease reliance on debt; and

Whereas, The tax-free treatment of 529 plans earnings has encouraged record numbers of Michiganders to save for higher education for themselves, their children, and others. Approximately 17 percent of families used funds from 529 plans to pay college expenses in the 2014-2015 school year; and

Whereas, Qualified education expenses include tuition and fees, some room and board costs, textbooks, and other costs listed by federal law if directly related to education. However, lifestyle costs are not considered qualified education expenses. Transportation is included as a lifestyle cost and cannot be covered by savings in a 529 plan; and

Whereas, Transportation for students who commute is a necessity required to attend class. Michigan has over 400,000 students attending community colleges statewide. The majority of these students commute to campus as only seven Michigan community colleges offer on-campus housing for a small portion of the student body. Even Michigan’s four-year private and public universities serve commuter students with an estimated 60 percent to over 90 percent of students at these institutions living off-campus and incurring transportation costs to obtain an education; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the Congress of the United States to include transportation costs as a qualified education expense under the Section 529 Qualified Tuition Program allowing the use of funds invested in a 529 plan to pay for this post-secondary education cost; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The House of Representatives has adopted the concurrent resolution.

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

Senator Kowall moved that the rule be suspended.

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

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,

Senator Kowall moved that the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Education.

The motion prevailed.

Senators Bieda, Booher and Zorn were named co‑sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

Statements

The motion prevailed.

Senator Kowall’s statement is as follows:

I rise today with a heavy heart to talk to my colleagues about two constituents of mine who were recently tragically killed on a highway in Detroit. Shelby Seyburn, 22 years old, of Commerce Township, and Sydney Zaleski, 23 years old, of White Lake, were killed in a crash on southbound I-75 near Mack Avenue on the morning of Saturday, June 3. Eight other people were injured in this crash involving five vehicles. Shelby and Sydney were both in their early 20s, and the two were childhood friends and also friends of my one niece. They have both been taken from us far, far too soon, and they leave behind grieving families and friends struggling to make sense out of this senseless tragedy.

A moment of silence was observed in memory of Shelby Seyburn and Sydney Zaleski, highway crash victims.
