Rep. Lisa Brown, from the 39th District, offered the following invocation:
“Sir Lloyd Kenyon once wrote:
Though in a state of society some must have greater luxuries and comforts than others, yet all should have the necessaries of life; and if the poor cannot exist, in vain may the rich look for happiness or prosperity. The legislature is never so well employed as when they look to the interests of those who are at a distance from them in the ranks of society. It is their duty to do so; religion calls for it; humanity calls for it; and if there are hearts who are not awake to either of those feelings, their own interests would dictate it.
As we make decisions for the residents of the wonderful state of Michigan, please keep every single resident in mind. Thank you.”
