Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Thomas, Richardville, Gieleghem, Wojno, Vander Roest, Rivet, Hansen, Switalski, Jamnick, Faunce, Hager, DeRossett, Jacobs, Vear, Scott, Quarles, Dennis, Sheltrown, Bogardus, LaSata, Reeves, Spade, Shulman, Minore, Pappageorge, Martinez, Cassis, Voorhees, Ehardt, Cherry, Kelly, Hale, Schermesser, Tesanovich, Brater, LaForge, Kilpatrick, Richner, Woodward, Bovin, Garcia, Bishop, Baird, Garza, Clark, Koetje and Toy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 444.

A resolution offered as a memorial for George Pope Benjamin, the first black member of the University of Michigan Marching Band.

Whereas, It is with deepest sympathy that the Michigan House of Representatives mourns the passing of one of Michigan's finest teachers and musicians, George Pope Benjamin. George Pope Benjamin was born in New York City, November 8, 1914. He was the second of two children born to George Henry and Alice P. Benjamin; and

Whereas, In 1932, George Pope Benjamin was accepted at the University of Michigan. George was determined to play the flute and piccolo and join the distinguished University of Michigan Marching Band. After a successful audition, he became a historical figure, the first black member of the University of Michigan Marching Band. George Pope Benjamin was also the first black person ever to graduate from the University of Michigan School of Music. He later received a Master's degree in music from University of Michigan; and

Whereas, After graduating from University of Michigan, George taught music and was the band director at Langston University in Langston, Oklahoma and later, at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri. In the late 1930's, he began a 41-year career with the Detroit Public Schools. He was unable to teach music because of his ethnicity. For the first four years, he served as an attendance officer and then he spent the following 37 years at Detroit elementary and middle schools, mostly as a special education teacher; and

Whereas, In 1949, George met and married his wife of 51 years, Charlotte Miller, also a teacher. Their only child, Carol Ann, now Carol Benjamin Zak, was born in 1953; and

Whereas, During their 20 years of retirement, the Benjamin's were very active volunteers for many organizations and joined the Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church in 1981. George will be remembered among friends and family as "Ben" or "Pope". His warmth, congeniality, and wit will be dearly missed by countless people who enjoyed his company. Among them are his fellow members of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and the Detroit Renaissance Lions Club; and

Whereas, George Pope Benjamin was called to rest October 19, 2000. He is survived by his wife, Charlotte, and his daughter, Carol, son-in-law, Robert Zak, niece, Judith Vestal, great-niece, Constance Mann, both of Pasadena, Calfironia, a great-niece, Patrice Sutton, and a great-nephew, Kyle Cheeseman, both of Detroit, and a cousin, Hannah Williams of Washington, D.C.; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this resolution in the memory of the passing of George Pope Benjamin, the first black member of the elite University of Michigan Marching Band and also the first black person to graduate from the University of Michigan School of Music and later receive a Master's degree in music from the University of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Martinez, Richardville, Gieleghem, Wojno, Vander Roest, Rivet, Hansen, Switalski, Jamnick, Faunce, Hager, Tabor, DeRossett, Jacobs, Vear, Scott, Quarles, Dennis, Sheltrown, Bogardus, Scranton, LaSata, Reeves, Spade, Shulman, Minore, Pappageorge, Cassis, Voorhees, Ehardt, Cherry, Kelly, Hale, Schermesser, Tesanovich, Brater, LaForge, Kilpatrick, Richner, Woodward, Bovin, Garcia, Bishop, Baird, Garza, Clark, Kuipers, Koetje and Toy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 445.

A resolution honoring the Lansing Everett High School Girls Basketball Team.

Whereas, It is a pleasure to join with their families, friends, the entire school, and all of Lansing in celebrating the achievements of the Lansing Everett High School Girls Basketball Team on its wonderful success over the 2000 season. With the fine 28-0 record this squad attained, which has culminated in its first Class A State Championship, this group of talented and disciplined student-athletes has generated great pride throughout our community and this part of our state; and

Whereas, The Viking Girls Basketball Team thrilled their fans with their 55-50 victory in the championship game, and much to the delight of their loyal fans, the Vikings have earned the respect of prep sports followers throughout Michigan with their talent, teamwork, and determination. As opponents have found out all season long, this is a team that brings unity and a positive outlook to all levels of competition. In the face of challenge and pressure, this is a group of young people who maintain their focus on making their dreams come true and accepting nothing less than their best effort; and

Whereas, Winning titles or compiling outstanding seasons is never a fluke. While anything can happen in a single game, all teams show their true abilities and dedication over a long season or a difficult tournament. What distinguishes the best, however, is the effort that appears in practice, far removed from the excitement of game day. We admire the efforts, team spirit, and preparation of these talented young people; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of this legislative body congratulate each member, the parents, the coaches of the Lansing Everett High School Girls Basketball Team, and the entire Everett High School community upon the occasion of its winning the Class A 2000 State Championship; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Lansing Everett High School Girls Basketball Team as a token of our esteem.

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.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. DeVuyst, Kowall, Rivet and Sheltrown offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 446.

A resolution to urge the Governor to negotiate and conclude a tribal-state gaming compact with the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan.

Whereas, Federally recognized Indian tribes have a right under federal law to operate gaming as a means of economic development within states that allow such gaming by any person, organization, or entity; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan permits Class III gaming to be operated by nontribal entities under the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, the Initiated Law of 1996; and

Whereas, The federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (IGRA) requires the state to negotiate in good faith for a tribal-state gaming compact with federally recognized Indian tribes that request a Class III gaming compact; and

Whereas, The Governor of the state of Michigan has negotiated tribal-state gaming compacts with eleven federally recognized Indian tribes, and the Michigan Legislature has approved these eleven compacts by concurrent resolution; and

Whereas, The Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan, which is also referred to as the Gun Lake Band, is a federally recognized Indian tribe that has requested the state to negotiate and execute a tribal-state compact governing Class III gaming; and

Whereas, IGRA requires that the state negotiate in good faith with the Gun Lake Band for a Class III gaming compact. Principles of fairness, equity, and justice dictate that the state offer to enter into a Class III gaming compact with the Gun Lake Band on terms consistent with the tribal-state compacts approved by the Michigan Legislature in December 1998; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That, in accordance with the requirements of IGRA, we urge the Governor to negotiate in good faith with the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan (the Gun Lake Band) for a tribal-state compact governing Class III gaming on tribal lands located within Allegan County, and to offer to enter into such a compact with the Gun Lake Band on terms consistent with the tribal-state gaming compacts executed by the Governor and approved by the Michigan Legislature in December 1998. After the compact is negotiated, we urge the Governor to bring the tribal-state gaming compact back to the legislature for ratification; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the office of the Governor, representatives of the Gun Lake Band, and the United States Secretary of the Interior.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Regulatory Reform.
