______
Reps. Garza, Clark, Jamnick, Basham, Clarke, Hardman, Lemmons, Jacobs and Woodward, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on House Bill 5721 (H-4) because this bill fails to provide any significant savings to people who are paying too much for monopolized telephone service in Michigan. I supported a substitute bill which would have provided consumers with millions of dollars in savings by eliminating state access charges, eliminating automatic rate increases, and providing much deeper rate cuts than House Bill 5721 (H-4). Unfortunately, this substitute was rejected by the Majority party. In 1995, when telecommunications deregulation first passed the state legislature, the House Republican Majority was responsible for its passage. That proposal has obviously failed to provide consumers with significant savings and has failed to inject competition in to the telecommunications marketplace. I fear that this approach by the Republican Majority is more of the same--a repeat of the mistakes made in 1995. House Bill 5721 (H-4) does not go far enough to protect consumers, or provide them with substantive rate relief. I therefore vote no."
Rep. Gieleghem, 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:
This bill purports to be a rate cut but in reality, it fails to provide a significant rate cut for residential customers in Michigan.
I suggested a substitute bill which would have provided real costs savings and real protections.
Furthermore, this bill fails to deal with the important issues of furthering competition and outdated zones that inflate phone rates for customers in Macomb County."
Rep. Hale, 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:
With the passage of House Bill 5721, we have failed the telephone consumers of our state. The legislature in its attempt to pass the legislation by a party line vote during the committee process, included several amendments offered by members of the minority caucus. We did not look at providing affordable services to low-income and senior citizen consumers. We did not attempt to address the need for more equitable calling plans for our constituents. We failed to develop fair and reasonable market strategies to deal with the ever growing market place. We did not lower the costs of intra-lata calls on our constituents. In years to come our constituents will be very upset with the legislature of 2000 when the final verdict on this issue when it comes to light."

______
Rep. Gosselin, 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 vote 'no' on this budget because I was elected on a promise to shrink government, not grow it. The increase in the general purpose/general fund portion of this budget, the portion of the budget which comes from the state taxes,
exceeds the rate of inflation for the past year. If the goal is to lock up more prisoners for a longer time, then the department needs to take a more aggressive role in reducing costs by privatizing services and seeking other efficiencies. If to reduce costs it is necessary to make life harder for prisoners, so be it. For these reasons, I must vote 'no' on this budget. This is almost up to 9% more than last year."
Rep. Minore, 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 oppose adoption of the Correction budget for several reasons:
(1) It continues warehousing prisoners with little and/or inadequate rehabilitation efforts; and
(2) The budget passes on costs to local government and local jails, in particular, and
(3) The budget includes a contract of significant cost that was not competitively bid and which will be extended virtually automatically and without bids; and
(4) The budget fails to adequately address issues surrounding the incarceration of mentally ill prisoners with little or no treatment."
Rep. Jamnick, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I vote no on the Corrections budget because I believe we must begin to spend more dollars for education and health services for our Michigan residents. Dollars spent for these efforts have the potential to reduce our need for warehousing people in jails and persons. In my opinion it is obscene to spend nearly 4 times as much to support a person in prison than to educate a child."

The Speaker Pro Tempore called Associate Speaker Pro Tempore Scranton to the Chair.
Rep. Spade moved that Rep. Mans be excused temporarily from today's session.
The motion prevailed.

Rep. Scott, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on Senate Bill 963 because my city of Highland Park and surrounding communities need the opportunity to establish a new community college to educate their people. $6.5 million is a small amount to request.
Many of our family members in this state were educated from 1912 until 1995 at H.P.C.C. (formerly junior college), the oldest college in this great state."
Rep. Rivet, 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 voted no on final passage of Senate Bill 963, the community college appropriation, due to the bill not prioritizing this initial secondary education opportunity as a major issue in our State. The higher education budget increases dwarf the increases outlined in this budget. In addition, the adjustment of the personal property tables has significantly and negatively impacted our community colleges. This budget has not reflected these revenue reductions. Increases that are only a fraction of those of higher education institutions, with no accounting for local revenue reductions mandated by the State mean only token increases in the appropriations for these important institutions. The most important economic and social activity the State can carry out is to educate its citizens. Community colleges provide the best opportunity to provide this educational opportunity."

To be eligible to receive the set-aside amount under this grant, a state institution of higher education shall certify to the state budget director by October 1, 2000 that the state institution does not and will not use funds appropriated in part 1 to offer a course meeting both of the following criteria:
(a) The content may be interpreted as promoting or facilitating the participation in a sexual lifestyle or practices other than heterosexual monogamy.
(b) There is a reasonable expectation that a majority of citizens would object to the use of taxpayer dollars for the course.
(2) In the event that a state institution of higher education does not meet or otherwise satisfy the criteria to be eligible to receive the set-aside amount under this grant, the set-aside amount to that institution shall be forfeited and the amount so forfeited shall be divided proportionately among those state institutions of higher education that are eligible to receive the set-aside amount under this grant.".

The House agreed to the title of the bill.
Rep. Gosselin, 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 vote 'no' on this budget because I was elected on a promise to shrink government, not grow it. The increase in the general purpose/general fund portion of this budget, the portion of the budget which comes from state taxes, exceeds the rate of inflation for the past year.
In addition, this budget includes funding for the University of Michigan, which is spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars defending itself in a lawsuit brought by deserving students who have been victimized by preferential treatment based on race in university admissions policies. I do not believe that we should subsidize discrimination on the basis of race in state college and university admissions."

House Resolution No. 356.
A resolution congratulating Joan Garretson of Pleasant Lake Elementary School upon being named the 2000-2001 Michigan Teacher of the Year.
Whereas, It is with great respect for her years of success in education that we congratulate Joan Garretson of Pleasant Lake Elementary School upon being named the 2000-2001 Michigan Teacher of the Year by the Michigan Department of Education. This designation brings honor to the entire Walled Lake School District and is an appropriate recognition of the excellence demonstrated by Joan Garretson in every aspect of her work; and
Whereas, Being a teacher allows Joan to put into action her "belief that each child truly deserves a chance to realize his/her own self worth." Using a variety of challenge initiatives and problem solving activities within the context of the academic curriculum, she provides opportunities for her students to stretch their thinking. Using the principles of Dr. William Glasser's Choice Theory, she facilitates students to take responsibility for their own choices, which leads to their experiencing success; and
Whereas, Starting her professional career in the United States Air Force and in human resources, Joan came to realize that to really make a difference with her life she had to return to her love of working with children. Since high school and throughout college, she worked with children and young people. Fully aware of the nature of committing to teaching children, Joan returned to college to earn her teaching degree. She knew it would mean giving of herself beyond the 8-hour day, 5 days a week. To this day, she regularly becomes involved in the lives of her students to help them realize their own value. She believes the "time students spend with their teachers has great influence and can produce positive long term and lasting effects"; and
Whereas, Joan believes that the most crucial issue facing public education is "the need for better preparation of new teachers and the development of better partnerships between institutions of higher learning and hiring districts in order to better support those teachers in the first few years of their career"; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize Joan Garretson as Michigan Teacher of the Year for 2000-2001; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Joan Garretson as evidence of our admiration and warmest wishes for continued success in every endeavor.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Raczkowski moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

House Resolution No. 357.
A resolution commemorating the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Michigan Association of District Court Probation Officers.
Whereas, On May 24-26, 2000, at the Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island, the members of the Michigan Association of District Court Probation Officers (MADCPO) will gather for their Thirtieth Annual Conference. It is a pleasure and privilege to commemorate this special anniversary and this important conference. We also take this opportunity to commend the hardworking district court probation officers for their effective contributions; and
Whereas, District court probation officers are dedicated individuals who work diligently to help protect Michigan's citizens and to hold offenders accountable for their actions. These highly trained professionals supervise offenders and ensure that they are fulfilling the demands of their probation. In so doing, these officers fulfill a crucial role in the criminal justice system and often have a positive and life-changing influence on these lawbreakers; and
Whereas, The MADCPO is an outstanding organization that greatly assists its members by providing training, support, and education. Members also serve on various committees throughout the state to assist in the judicial system and follow legislation that directly influences probation work. The loyal members are obviously committed to making it a strong and helpful organization; and
Whereas, Clearly, crime is an issue that concerns every citizen. The members of MADCPO are doing their part to keep our streets safe, and they merit our praise for the leadership, concern, and commitment they demonstrate every day--sometimes in life-threatening situations. Too often, their effective efforts go unnoticed, so we are proud to extend to them the recognition and gratitude they deserve; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we commemorate the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Michigan Association of District Court Probation Officers. We also commend the members for their valuable contributions to the people of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to MADCPO, Inc., and its members as a reflection of our gratitude.

House Resolution No. 358.
A resolution honoring Local 190 Plumbers and Pipefitters on their 100th Anniversary.
Whereas, At the turn of the century, fifteen men gathered in Ann Arbor to accept the Charter of Local 190. That document granted them the jurisdictional territory surrounding Washtenaw county; and
Whereas, In its first years, the union suffered an unstable existence, with membership growth at a near standstill. The Local's activities centered around Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan. For nearly two decades, the downtown shops numbered four, the largest was not favorable to the union and a stormy relationship existed. During this period, antiunion interests formed a program called "The American Plan", which caused much unrest with strikes and lockouts. Many members dropped out of the union; and
Whereas, The union was hard hit by the Great Depression in the 1930s. Many of its members dropped out, while those who remained were unemployed and destitute. The Local's office became a distribution center for welfare packages for needy members; and
Whereas, The union began to grow during World War II, when a bomber plant was built at Willow Run. The apprentice training program was established at the close of the war and returning veterans were given priority as trainees. The post-war years brought government wage controls with allowances for fringe benefit programs. Local 190 staged its first strike to obtain the health and welfare plan for its members; and
Whereas, In the early 1950s, industrial expansion at Willow Run raised Local 190 in national prominence, as 800 United Association members came here to work on the "Gold Rush Job". Following that project, the membership swelled and the Local hired its first full-time business manager; and
Whereas, During the 1960s, many of the fringe benefits were negotiated in peaceful settlement. Construction boomed all over the territory and the membership tripled. The housing and apartment field required the hiring of a second full-time agent. The Local became the sole bargaining agent for the gas distribution workers throughout the state and a third agent was hired to cover this field. The late 1960s provided a major agreement with the University of Michigan as the Plant department became a total union shop; and
Whereas, The 1970s produced noteworthy expansion as a nuclear power plant was built in the western part of the state and Local 190 was assigned the monumental task of furnishing piping craftsmen for that project and a temporary branch office was opened in Bridgeman, Michigan. The mid-1970s saw many members travel to the northwest to work on the Alaska Pipeline and the Local's national reputation continued to build and grow; and
Whereas, The 1980s provided a period of readjustment in the written agreements with the Contractors' Association as the Local prepared to combat the continuing threat of nonunion encroachment, particularly in the residential and service fields; and
Whereas, The 1990s brought more changes, including the move to this area by the United Association Instructor Training Program. This program additionally enhanced the already prestigious national reputation that Local 190 enjoys. The membership remained stable over this period, even though employment was very low in the latter part of the 1980s, while the mid- to late 1990s brought full employment to members; and
Whereas, Throughout the history of Local 190, the union has been active in state, local, and civic affairs; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Local 190 Plumbers and Pipefitters as they celebrate their 100th anniversary; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution by transmitted to Local 190 as evidence of our esteem.

Rep. Jellema offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 103.
A concurrent resolution to change the scope of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences project at Western Michigan University.
Whereas, The Western Michigan University College of Engineering and Applied Sciences project was authorized with a total cost of $50,000,000 by 1996 PA 480, and amended by the adoption of House Concurrent Resolution No. 31 of 1996; and

Whereas, Western Michigan University has agreed to fund the increase in the project cost of $22,500,000, with the State commitment remaining at $37,500,000; and
