Comments and Recommendations
Rep. Stamas moved that the following remarks be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Rep. Ouimet:
“Thank you, Madam Speaker.
As I’ve sat here the last few weeks, listening to the farewell speeches, I’ve enjoyed hearing what has been important to some, and pointed out to others. My two years here, I want to take the opportunity to thank the 52nd District for allowing me the honor of representing them here at the Capitol. Voting on key issues here on the floor has certainly been a big part of this job, but even more so, what we get to do for our constituents back at home: in a small way, trying to improve their lives. I have enjoyed meeting so many great people in Washtenaw County over the years, and I appreciate each and every one, because ultimately, that’s what we’re here for.
Both my father and grandfather have served in public office, our family has always talked about making sure that you leave whatever you’re doing in a better place than what you found it. That has always been what we have focused on. It was an honor to serve with, and for, Governor Snyder and Lieutenant Governor Calley. I’d also like to thank Attorney General Schuette and Majority Leader Randy Richardville. It’s been an honor serving with Speaker Bolger, Walsh and Lund, for their leadership and what they have done for our families here in Michigan, taking a big step forward.
I also want to take a moment and thank Jill Larder, who is my Chief of Staff, who has been an absolute rock. She has been there, been very supportive, works long hours and is well focused on outcomes, and what we have to do; although, she is a supporter of Michigan State.
And, it gets worse.
When we started out, I had John McNamara, who worked the front desk, handling our constituent services. After a few months, I found out John was a domer… not good. But John did an excellent job in helping us get started, and he turned that over to Conner Fitzpatrick, a Saline native, who worked very hard on behalf of the people in the 52nd District. Barbara Moore, our intern, who has been with us pretty much from the start, and has been a great team member in our office.
It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve as Chair of the Local, Intergovernmental and Regional Affairs Committee. I want to thank Allie Bush, who has worked very hard. And Mary Lou, who has always been there never steering me wrong, is yet another Spartan, so we would jockey back and forth after wins and losses, and of course you guys almost missing a bowl game.
I also want to thank the folks, Phil and Jeremy and Ken, for their knowledge in policy and what they’ve done. I want to thank John Whetstone for helping me through my written voice. Also, our field staff, Breina Field for her hard work and dedication. And always close to our hearts is Phyllis. Phyllis Browne has always been a real rock, and a person who always brings so much common sense to what sometimes is a pretty turmoiled position.
To Gene, Connie, Dan and Kristen, I want to thank you for your support and advice and enthusiasm. We all know the part that Suzanne plays, and how important she is to this entire process and its success.
I’d also like to thank both my children, Mark and Courtney, who unfortunately can’t be here today, they’re both working out of state. My daughter, 38, and my son, 41, he being a college football coach and my daughter running four restaurants. Some of you know that I was a single parent. That came kind of in a flash to us, overnight. The three of us as a family kind of went through life together, actually growing up together. It was not easy, because my daughter was 8 and my son was 10, and that’s not easy on an 8-year-old little girl. But, that made her tougher and more resilient in life. The day that she became a young lady and sent me off to the grocery store to help her was one very difficult and embarrassing moment for me. As I went through the counter picking out 10 or 15 different boxes of things that I had no clue on. I think the only thing I did right that day is buying her a dozen red roses. But, to this day I get Father’s Day cards from both of my kids, as well as Mother’s Day cards.
The swearing in was an important moment for us, because I was able to have my entire family here. My oldest grandson Trey found it fascinating when he saw the picture of all of us standing there with the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor, and he was questioning, was the Lieutenant Governor part of our family, and if so, who actually was that ‘dude.’
It’s been a real joy and a pleasure to be a part of working with all of you. There’s obviously a lot of ups and downs, and moments that are trying and moments that are challenging. But what my father used to tell me regarding politics, is you can look at things from a political sense, or you can look at things from a relationship sense. I have tried to follow that, I have tried to look at this from a relationship sense, because ultimately that is what we take away from here.
So I want to thank all of you, particularly my wife who, too, is working today so she couldn’t be here, but without Donna, who walked into our lives… and brought our family complete, I want to thank her.
Thank you very much.”
Explanation of “No” Votes
Reps. Slavens and Lipton, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of Senate Bill No. 445, made the following statement:
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on SB 445 as a result of the undemocratic process employed by the Majority party to push divisive legislation that attacks middle class families at the last minute during lame duck session. The Minority urged the House Majority to slow down the process and allow for thoughtful and deliberative debate on these issues. Instead, the Majority rushed through sizable and substantive public policy changes in the final days of session in the most undemocratic method: discharging bills out of committee without a single hearing, illegally closing the doors to the Capitol during session, and completely shutting the public out of any participation in the process.
As long as extreme politicians continue to pursue so-called ‘right-to-work’ legislation that hurts hardworking Michiganders who teach our children, protect our streets, keep us healthy and build our roads and vehicles, I will continue to vote no on all of the legislation before the Michigan House of Representatives.
I am taking this dramatic step because of the appalling speed at which Republicans are attempting to undermine collective bargaining rights in our state. So-called ‘right-to-work’ legislation will not boost economic growth and will not benefit Michigan or Michigan workers. To the contrary, this legislation will result in lower wages and cuts to benefit. Lower wages mean people have less money to spend which hurts small businesses and local economies throughout our state. ‘Right to work’ erodes the financial security of all middle class families, eroding their ability to earn decent wages and have safe, dignified working conditions. Both the content of the legislation and the manner in which it has been handled are a subversion of democracy and the democratic process.
The Legislature and the Governor should be reaching across the aisle and working on bipartisan efforts that actually create jobs for Michigan citizens. We need to fight for families instead of increasing already record-high corporate profits driving down middle-class wages, gutting pensions and endangering worker safety.”

Instead, the Majority rushed through sizable and substantive public policy changes in the final days of session in the most undemocratic method: discharging bills out of committee without a single hearing, illegally closing the doors to the Capitol during session, and completely shutting the public out of any participation in the process.
As long as extreme politicians continue to pursue so-called ‘right-to-work’ legislation that hurts hardworking Michiganders who teach our children, protect our streets, keep us healthy and build our roads and vehicles, I will continue to vote no on all of the legislation before the Michigan House of Representatives.
I am taking this dramatic step because of the appalling speed at which Republicans are attempting to undermine collective bargaining rights in our state. So-called ‘right-to-work’ legislation will not boost economic growth and will not benefit Michigan or Michigan workers. To the contrary, this legislation will result in lower wages and cuts to benefit. Lower wages mean people have less money to spend which hurts small businesses and local economies throughout our state. ‘Right to work’ erodes the financial security of all middle class families, eroding their ability to earn decent wages and have safe, dignified working conditions. Both the content of the legislation and the manner in which it has been handled are a subversion of democracy and the democratic process.
The Legislature and the Governor should be reaching across the aisle and working on bipartisan efforts that actually create jobs for Michigan citizens. We need to fight for families instead of increasing already record-high corporate profits driving down middle-class wages, gutting pensions and endangering worker safety.”
