Rep. Michael Webber, from the 45th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Dear Lord,

Praise You for this and every day that we get to wake up on this side of heaven. Each day is filled with purpose, and we ask for Your wisdom and guidance through everyone. Help us to live each day well, and for Your glory, from start to finish.

Thank You for Your Word, which breathes life into our souls and minds. You promise to meet us there, in study and prayer.

Give us the wisdom to seek You first each day, before each decision. Enlighten us and guide us through Your Word.

Please guide our state and nation through this difficult time as we combat the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that You work all things for good, but in those moments of pain and suffering, it can be impossible to understand Your perfect and just hand in it all.

Please give our leaders the wisdom needed to help our residents through this challenging time.

In Jesus Name, Amen.”

Rep. Chirkun:

“Thank you Mr. Speaker.

The first rule of speech-making is Do Not Use Names. Well, I am going to be breaking that rule very often.

First, let me start OUT WITH THANKING SOME OF MY SEAT MATES FOR MAKING THE PAST 6 YEARS, one of the greatest experiences of my life. Each and every day I am truly amazed at all the hard work that each one of you did on behalf of your constituents. It was something to marvel at.

I would also like to thank the voters of the 22nd District, Roseville and Warren, for giving me an opportunity to serve you for the past six years.

I could not imagine I would actually be here. It surely didn’t hit me when the election results came back in November 2014. It hit me on when I first got to the Capitol and sat in my office for the first time, realizing the massive responsibilities that laid on my shoulders. I had some big shoes to fill, taking over from my predecessor, Harold Haugh, in representing the 22nd House District.

I didn’t know what to expect up here in the Capitol. I came from being the Mayor of the sixth largest city in Macomb County but I never realized until I got up here that my district was even bigger than some entire out of state counties in Michigan.

I knew I was a big fish in a little pond in Roseville, but when I got here, I was just another fish in a way bigger pond called the State Capitol. So being the True Detective that I am, I just observed for the first 6 months before I started moving outside my lane. I like to think I did some good things up here and made some life-long friendships along the way.

To my past seatmates, thank you for the memories we had. During my first session, I sat next to Robert Wittenberg and Frankie ‘the Animal’ Liberati. Frank had the dubious distinction of being the first person I met at on one of orientation meetings. As much as I wanted to do over the past six years, I never made it to the deli. But now in January, I will have plenty of time. I am looking forward to some of those want world famous cookies and pizza but I want the family and friends discount unlike term limited former state representative from Westland whom he charged full price.

During my second session, I sat with Ms. Harvey Santana and Representative Rosemary Robinson. I fondly remember Rosemary Robinson. I have known Rosemary since 1976 when she was a Wayne County Commissioner and I was a snot nose rookie in the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department. We had some epic debates over the years at the county level and even on the chamber. But with Rosemary, you always knew she was sticking to her convictions.

Sylvia was very nice, calm and collected and not nearly as outspoken as her husband, who was the chair and only member of the Harvey Santana Caucus during my first term. Now Chairman Harvey Santana is at the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department. The world has gone full circle, I hope he now understands where I was coming from on some of the criminal justice stuff.

My third term, I got to sit next to John Cherry Jr. I knew his father so I tried to take care of him. Before COVID-19 took away what was supposed to be a glorious last year of my final term, I got to know John and will forever be appreciative of his attempts to help me navigate the House session page during a crucial vote.

Santa delivered me some great committee assignments. They say committees are where most of the work done and I know this first hand. My first term, I served on Reg Reform with Chairman Franz and Minority Vice Chair Scott Dianda. I also served on Comm and Tech with Brad Jacobsen, and on Financial Liabilities with Pat Sommerville.

During my second term, I was thrown right into the fire being the minority vice chair of Transportation with Chairman Cole. It was there I learned firsthand the difficulty in finding a political viable way to fix the roads. Oversight was interesting, where I served with Chairman Joe Graves and Minority Vice Chair Kevin Hertel as we tackled the UIA Fraud Fiasco. Reg Reform was always interesting with Chairman Iden Minority Vice Chair Jeremy Moss. There I learned how to drink (Jamieson and orange juice) with Hugh and Kathy Crawford.

In this job, you get to meet all sorts of people from all walks of life and differing perspectives. Thank you to Scott Dianda and Sara Cambensy for showing me how cool the Yooper landscape is truly God’s County and your hospitality to us trolls when we visited. I will never be the same after going to the dog sled races in Calumet and Marquette. And karaokeing at Flanagan’s Bar. I definitely did lose years off my life. As they say, the Lake of Superior never gives up her dead.

To Sergeant Dickson and the Red Coats: no, that’s not a singing group from Motown Records. Your dedication, professionalism and friendship is something truly to be proud of. I can tell you that you and your team are very much appreciated by everybody in this chamber and I thank you protecting our SIX.

Frank Liberati and I had quite the experience serving on the committee to investigate the actions of two former state representatives whose love debacle fiasco brought great shame to this body. Once again Sgt Dickson and team did a heck of a job. Thank you for what you do from all of us, protecting our six.

I would be remiss not to thank several other individuals who I have served with for the past six years.

To Leader Tim Greimel: Tim you have been a great leader under the most adverse of circumstances. Thank you for your wisdom and friendship.

To Speaker Chatfield : Your leadership and the pure class you bring into this chamber every day is something I admire. Speaker Cotter, I am still waiting but not holding my breath for that reimbursement for the Mackinac Public Policy Conference when you cancelled the House’s Participation in my second term.

To Floor Leader Rutledge: David, I thank you for your dedication to this state and county and the love of the veterans of this county.

To the first Majority Floor Leader I served with, Aric Nesbitt, whom I always respectfully called ‘Auric Goldfinger’. One thing I can say about the good Senator is that when he gives you his word, there is no messing around or waffling. He’s a credit to his side.

To our Macomb delegation: Most of us knew each other before we even arrived in Lansing. My advice: stay together whenever possible. We put

Macomb back on the state map. I love it when I hear our other colleagues say ‘those damn Macomb reps did it again’. Thanks to all of you. And to Derek Miller, I always did my best to listen to what your father, the legend Art Miller told me, ‘take care of my boy’ I will never forget the after-session hours with the Dagwood caucus. If I never see another fried pickle again, I’ll be happy. Terry Sabo, Frank Liberati, Sara Cambensy, Pat Green, Scott Dianda, Sam Singh, Kevin Hertel, Nate Shannon, Zvonko, Will Synder, Curtis Audette, Kevin Colemen ,Tyrone Carter, Alex Garza, and Joe Tate thanks for the strategy sessions and memories.

I would also like to take the time out to honor the memories of our gone but never forgotten colleagues: Pete Pettalia, John Kivela, Issac Robinson and Julie Plawecki. May you rest in power. Before we became reps, I knew Julie’s husband and the family for years. Julie Plawecki was truly one of the most caring people I have ever met. I also got to work with her upstanding daughters during my time here.

Thank you Fred Durhal, Bob Kosowski, Scott Dianda, Paul Clemente, Sarah Roberts, Andrea LaFontaine, Ken Goike, Tony Forlini, Winnie Brinks, Gretchen Driskell, Pam Hornberger, Diana Farrington for your friendship. And thank you to Pete Lucido. Good Luck in your new endeavor

I would also like to thank my Purple Housemate, Patrick Green for the great times and memories.

Additionally, I am always grateful for the many conversations I had with Marilyn Lane (and I do mean many) at the Radisson and also who I got to spend quality time with. Thank you for your mentorship in my first term.

To the House Dem policy staff over the last six years, you were great. I didn’t always agree with you but always respected your opinion and insight. My first term, I relied heavily on Lansing’s Angels: Emily, Rosie, Caty, Hillary. Later on, Danny, Ashley, Mitch, Peter, Coffiann, Patti, Nathan, and Kris Young. If I missed anyone, I am sorry. I would also like to thank my writers, Drew and Susan, and my graphics people, Liz Krantz and Bobby.

I would also like to thank Joelle Demand. I call her the Queen of the Floor and she always treated me great over the past six years.

To my staff: Zvonko Blazevski, Ryan Earl and my new addition, Matt Lantzy, I can’t thank you enough for our time together. You are the best and I wish you only the best in the future. You were always my trusted advisors and always seemed to calm me down before I got too upset. To Zvonko, you definitely did your best to live up to your nickname, Loki, the prince of mischief. To Ryan Earl, thank you for keeping me organized and focused on the task at hand. To Matt, thank you for being a friend and continue to aim high. The future State Representative for the 22nd District is going to be in very capable hands.

To the lobby core: All of your institutional knowledge has always been considered a valued asset by me. To all those I have interacted with over the six years and have guided mem thank you for all your help. To all those who I did not interact with, or they ignored for the me for the past six years, I still won’t switch parties.

Someone asked me not too long ago if I would I do something different in life other than being an elected official. The thing is, looking back over the years, I realized that I have been a public servant for the majority of my time on God’s Green Earth going back to when I was 18 and served in the United States Air Force for six years, at the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department for 29, and as Councilman, Mayor Pro Tem and Mayor for 19 years and as State Representative for 6 years. And I got a chance to try to make positive change and stand up for what I believe in. Stand up for what I believe was best for my constituents as their representative. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing. I also got to meet wonderful people that I never would have ever met otherwise. It was never a dull moment to be sure.

I now move on to a new phase of my life and a different career path. To all of you Democrats and Republicans (110) in this chamber-you are good people first and elected officials second. Good people do good things. Try to work with each other and try to do what is right for the people of the wonderful state of Michigan.

I thank every one of you from the bottom of my heart for this awesome life experience of meeting, interacting and working together with you on different projects and laws, and getting to know you and knowing some of your families. It was a rewarding experience. As I depart, I will leave you the words of my former Purple House mate, Patrick Green. ‘If you don’t like the apple, turn it around.’

Thank you and God bless the State of Michigan and God bless America.”

Rep. Garrett:

“Thank You Madam Speaker

Well, saying farewell is never easy, especially when you truly love what you do. It has brought me great joy partnering with my fellow colleagues in creating policies that are for the betterment of not only the amazing folks that I represented in House District 7, but ALL of the great people of the Great State of Michigan.

However, the most gratifying aspect of the last 6 years of service was resolving the everyday issues of the people. My office received countless calls from citizens dealing with DHHS, unemployment and various other daily living concerns. These calls grew exponentially and were a true thorn in the flesh with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. No matter the size of the issue, I took pride in handling the challenges head on because I remember what it was like to be on the other end of those calls with pressing needs, hoping to find relief. I pray that our State agencies will continue to resolve these issues for our people who absolutely count on us for guidance and leadership during times of adversity.

It is always an honor to have a seat at the table and advocate especially for those that are not able to champion issues for themselves. I would not have been allotted this opportunity if it were not for the hard work of my family and closest friends. Therefore, I must first start by thanking my family for all of their support. My aunt, Judge Ruth Garrett, who always actively listens to me rant and then gently offers valuable wisdom to assist me with many pressing issues. She is my backbone and I thank you Auntie. Also, I thank my cousins Cathy, Albert, Kelly, Austin and Kristina who also carry the family legacy of service to the people. To my favorite my cousin Sue, Thank you. Most importantly, I thank my Husband Anthony who is very excited about having me a little bit closer and having a little bit more of my time. Somebody save me I do not want any more children, lol. I thank you more than anything for always stepping up to the plate and doing last minute lunches for the community events.

Moreover, the job I have always cherished and been most appreciative of is the duty of motherhood. To my 3 children, from oldest to youngest, Future, Chosen, and Majesty and our newest addition my 3 week old granddaughter Legacy, I love you all but I’m truly not looking forward to being at the house all day cleaning up every 5 min and picking up toys. Somebody please help me, lol Again, it is always an honor to be mom and wife but with COVID a breather is necessary for us moms. On a serious note, family thanks for supporting me during the last six years in my current role. I know that it has been a task but we always triumph as a family, I Love you all.

To my friends from my childhood who have supported me on this journey, in particular Myles W. Miller. I want to thank you for standing tall and taking on the challenge to travel this journey with me. You made sure that not only was I taken care of but the constituents of House District 7, Thank you.

One thing that I love most is I have developed longstanding relationships with a couple of people: Honorable Harvey Santana who Is a straightforward, fair guy with a great sense of humor. I Truly thank you for our friendship.

To Brian Banks who showed me how to triumph regardless of people’s opinions and how to navigate through the many traps they might strategize against you.

To John Hoadley one of the best bakers outside of my mother in law.

To my buddy Wendall Byrd. I will always remember our talks and the wisdom that you shared with me to help my community groups. I am truly convinced that you were born to be a comedian you missed your calling, but you never fail to make me laugh. You will always be my buddy.

To memory of Isaac Robinson, who I will always miss dearly. He always encouraged me that ‘you have no time to rest.’ He then began to include me in on every press release he created. You can always tell the reps with no children or spouses They get around town, lol

To Frank Liberati and his son. Thank you for coming to my very first meet and greet. His son surely did have a grand time and boy did he cut a rug.

To Former Speaker Tom Leonard. Thank you for being so concerned about me during the birth of my baby and continuing to check in on me. Even after your term ended, you still made it a priority to follow up. I will forever be appreciative to you and the many members of your caucus that sowed a tremendous amount of love during the most difficult and uncertain time of my life. Although I am lifetime Democrat, you taught me that the human touch doesn’t know party lines.

To my former staffers, Kevin Harris, Leyland Lindie, Chelsea Townes, Mya Jones and countless interns, thank you for your service to the people of House District 7 and know that I will always appreciate your efforts.

Thanks to my current staffers, Gabrielle Dingell and Robert Davis. Gabrielle, thank you for all that you do and have done to make sure we are on track with constituents concerns and complaints. Robert, I thank you but I am so glad I don’t have to defend the many law suits you file anymore, lol. Nevertheless, I will miss our bumping heads and many debates. More than anything, you are truly a gem to have around.

To my fellow colleagues of the MLBC and the Detroit Caucus, former Rep Sheldon Neeley thank you for your comradery.

To Tyrone Sanders and Ken Cole, thank you for your wealth of political knowledge and your friendships.

Former Democratic Leader Tim Greimel who showed up to every function I don’t know how you did it but Thanks.

To Yousef Rabhi, thank you for always providing solid leadership. To Joelle Demand, thank you for always being dependable.

Mayor Hubert Yopp, Alexis Ramsey, and Miriam Kramer thanks for your Leadership and activism in Highland Park.

Brother Fuqua Bey I commend you for feeding the 1000’s of people weekly. You are definitely the thread that hold many communities together. Keep doing the work of God.

To my Detroit cohort Councilman Roy McCalister, Jr. Thank you for being a friend and a brother and taking every call to resolve issues. You are a kind hearted person remain true to the people you serve.

I could not have made it this far without prayers and spiritual guidance. A special thanks to my clergy partners Rev. Robert Smith, Bishop Antonio Smiley, Bishop Eric Lloyd, Bishop Clarence and First Lady Joyce Haddon, Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, Prophet Fred Brame, and Mother Lyte. Thanks for all the prayers and support.

Last but not least, I have to thank the amazing people for House District 7 for entrusting me to represent them for three terms in the Michigan House of Representatives. The voice of Detroiters and Highland Parkers was allowed to resonate loud in these chambers went you sent me here on your behalf. Therefore, because of you, I am proud of our fight for Education Reform, Auto No-Fault Reform, Healthcare, elderly issues, water and environmental equality and bringing some resolve to the opioid crisis to save our youth. Some of the most fulfilling aspects of our time together were:

•Feeding my community

•Retaining appropriation dollars for special projects that beautified my neighborhood

•Raising funds for London who was shot in the head at a local gas station. I had the opportunity to meet London’s father unfortunately he passed two days ago. My condolences to the family. London is now part of my family.

•Raising funds for six year old Nyla Law’s burial and her aunt Liz who was hit by drunk driver. Thank you Representative Karen Whitsett for giving of yourself and having a compassionate heart to assist this family during their time of bereavement.

•Partnering with PACE, AARP, Grind Time Gym to provide multiple workouts and resources for our seniors throughout the district.

•Partnering with the Epilepsy foundation to create legislation that will enhance the lives of our children regardless of the environment in which they are in.

•Creating coffee by conference in my first term for constituents that had so many issues of why they could not make it to coffee hour or wanted to travel but still desired to be updated from afar.

Taking children to University of Michigan and Michigan State University on multiple occasions to explore career fields out of the norm that they may be interested in boy to see the smiles on their faces, Priceless!

•Multiple scholarships we have given away within the district

•And creating the Executive Women business group which provide resources and assistance for entrepreneurs were the most fulfilling moments.

In my final desires, I am adamant about advancing legislation that will prohibit animals from riding on the laps of those that are operating a vehicle which creates distracted driving and passing my Epilepsy Bill out of both chambers. I am confident that the members of the 101th Legislature will be able to provide true auto no-fault insurance that will provide true rate relief and even more.

In closing, Psalm 133:1 tells us, ‘Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!’ A House divided can never stand up to live up to its potential. When this body operates as one, in unity, there’s nothing that it can’t accomplish for the good of the great people of the Great State of Michigan.

I am LaTanya Garrett and I thank you all for your time!

Tuebor!”

______

 

 

Rep. Albert, 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 fully support funding the Flint Water Settlement. However, it is unwise to fund this settlement with $600,000,000 of debt because it will have a long-term negative budgetary impact. Additionally, children that were not even born when the Flint Water Crisis occured will be on the hook to make these payments in the years to come. I would be fully supportive of using funding sources that are currently available to the legislature.”
