Fr. Jose Cabrera, Pastor of All Saints Parish in Bay City, offered the following invocation:
“Creator God, Author of Peace:
In Your plan for creation, You formed a State from pristine wilderness: a sacred place of wonder and beauty for Native Americans.
With the passage of time, You led other peoples from other places to share in the blessings of Michigan’s bountiful resources: pioneers, early settlers, missionaries, farmers, workers, industrialists, statesmen and educators, peoples of many faiths and, above all, people of good will.
From Copper Harbor to Monroe; from New Buffalo to Sault Ste. Marie, and all places within, You carved out from a land of survival, a land of opportunity, hope and adventure.
You painted the land of Mishigamma, Land of the Large Water, with colors of enterprise, promise, and possibility. You inspired us how to govern ourselves, first by our coming to understand our own human strengths and limitations.
From the treasure of Your own wisdom, You taught us that human governance most resembles Your eternal law as it reflects the harmony of Your creation.
We ask You now, to abide with us as we begin a new Legislative Session: may we deliberate carefully; debate respectfully; and set aside divisive ideologies and special interests.
You call us back to our origins, from where we have learned the value of self-sacrifice for the common good.
Help us to paint our State again with the colors of the common values for all Michiganders: respect for life, justice, freedom of expression, and opportunity for the unfortunate and persons with special needs.
We ask You to keep us in Your watchful care, and direct us in working for the fullness of peace, which is Your deepest desire and ours.
You live and reign forever and ever. Amen.”

House Resolution No. 277.
A resolution to declare March 19, 2018, as Celebrating Women in Public Office Day in the state of Michigan. Whereas, The month of March is Women’s History Month and celebrates the significant contributions women of all races,
ethnicities, and backgrounds have made to the world; and
Whereas, Women play a critical role in the vitality and diversity of our communities and are essential to ensuring Michigan is well-represented; and
Whereas, While the twentieth century was a pivotal time of growth for women entering politics, women remain under- represented in male-dominated fields, and thus, providing opportunities to support women in public office is imperative; and Whereas, Recognizing women in public office will bring awareness to the fundamental necessity of their work and will
inspire other young people to serve their communities; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 19, 2018, as Celebrating Women in Public Office Day in the state of Michigan. We call upon the people of Michigan to unite as we support the success of women in public office and observe this occasion with appropriate activities, events, and programs.

House Resolution No. 278.
A resolution to declare March 11-17, 2018, as Patient Safety Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The standard of quality in our health-care system is of deep concern to all Americans. Citizens of all back- grounds, whether young or old or from large cities or rural communities, deserve the highest-quality health care from our health institutions and health professionals; and
Whereas, Responsibility for maintaining high-quality standards of this country’s health-care system lies at the heart of public health and will take the efforts of health-care quality professionals, as well as our communities, our government, health-care providers, and businesses, working together to promote and enhance the quality of patient care; and
Whereas, Patient safety is central to top-quality health-care in our nation and our state, and the key to improving patient safety is understanding the underlying causes of errors, learning from reported errors, and working to eliminate conditions that contribute to preventable errors; and
Whereas, Increased improvement in patient safety can be achieved by promoting the widespread sharing of best practices within the health-care industry, as well as by continuous communication between patients and caregivers; and
Whereas, The National Patient Safety Foundation has designated March 11 through 17, 2018, as Patient Safety Awareness Week to raise awareness of the importance of patient safety; now, therefore, be it

The resolution was adopted.
By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 280 out of numerical order. Reps. Dianda, Marino, Elder, Geiss, Jones, Sabo and Sowerby offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 280.
A resolution to declare the Michigan Department of Transportation Director Kirk Steudle unfit to lead the department and express our lack of confidence in his leadership.
Whereas, Kirk Steudle has served as Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Director since 2006, under both Governor Granholm and Governor Snyder. As Director, Mr. Steudle oversees the construction, maintenance, and operation of state roads and bridges, along with local agency federal aid, public transportation, and aeronautics and rail services. The department directly employs over 2,500 people and has a budget of more than $3 billion; and
Whereas, The Michigan Department of Transportation Director Steudle has not proven to be a good steward of Michigan taxpayer dollars or MDOT employees; and
Whereas, In 2010, the Michigan Department of Transportation refurbished and began leasing twenty-three railcars for proposed future rail passenger service between Ann Arbor and Howell and Ann Arbor and Detroit. The cars were rented for
$1.1 million a year and sat in a rail yard in Owosso for five years, racking up costs to taxpayers of almost $12 million in refurbishing and lease charges. MDOT has terminated the lease but the cars still sit, available for the Great Lakes Central
Railroad to lease or sell. MDOT has yet to secure funding or an operator for the rail service, complete environmental studies, or upgrade track for the proposed rail projects. The passenger rail service will not be ready until 2019 at the earliest. MDOT officials have admitted the cost has been more than they wished. It appears that, at worst, MDOT has put money toward projects that may never come to fruition, and at best, is guilty of poor timing between securing equipment and begin- ning the rail service; and
Whereas, In 2010, MDOT spent $9.5 million on a landscaping project along I-696 between I-75 and I-94 in Macomb and Oakland counties. Two years later, there was a die-off of plantings over large stretches of the area due to erosion, partly caused by mowing, which leached eroded soils into the storm drainage system. MDOT spent $2.3 million for mulch plus $620,000 in a replanting effort to repair the damage. Poor planning and lack of foresight exacerbated this problem; and Whereas, In 2015, an Auditor General’s report cited MDOT for not following up on road warranties which hold con- tractors responsible for their work. The department often failed to inspect work and ensure that contractors corrected deficiencies. Over half of warranties expired before MDOT followed up, which put the responsibility and cost for any corrective action on the state instead of the contractor. Similar issues were raised in a 2010 audit and were not compre-
hensively addressed; and
Whereas, The Michigan section of the American Society of Civil Engineers recently gave Michigan roads a grade of D-. Thirty-nine percent of the 120,000 miles of paved roads in Michigan are rated in poor condition, 43 percent rated in fair condition, and just 18 percent rated in good condition. Furthermore, Michigan has 1,234 structurally deficient bridges, and the Michigan Department of Transportation estimates the number of state-maintained bridges currently rated in poor condition will increase by 50 percent in the next five years. Even in light of a shortage of funding, the priorities set by Mr. Steudle and MDOT are questionable; and
Whereas, His mismanagement of scarce state funds in the face of the current road funding deficit are unacceptable and demonstrate a failure to properly administer the office and responsibilities of Director of the Michigan Department of Transportation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we declare the Michigan Department of Transportation Director Kirk Steudle unfit to lead the department and express our lack of confidence in his leadership; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of Michigan. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. Crawford, Allor, Wentworth, Albert, Maturen, Hughes, Glenn, Peterson, Graves, Webber, Kesto, Runestad, Lucido, Barrett, Ellison, Greig, Rendon, Chatfield, Leutheuser, Afendoulis, Calley, Brinks, Canfield, Chirkun, Clemente, Cochran, Cox, Elder, Faris, Geiss, Hertel, Hoadley, Howrylak, Jones, Lauwers, Liberati, Moss, Pagan, Phelps, Sabo, Singh, Sneller, Yanez and Zemke offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 279.
A resolution to declare March 15, 2018, as Medal of Honor Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States Government and is bestowed by the President of the United States, in the name of Congress, upon members of the armed forces who distinguish them- selves through conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty. The first Medal of Honor awards were presented to six men on March 25, 1863, by the Secretary of War. 110 Medals of Honor are accredited to Michigan; and
Whereas, It is appropriate to honor the heroic recipients of the Medal of Honor; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 15, 2018, as Medal of Honor Day in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution, The resolution was adopted.
