Senator Joanne G. Emmons of the 23rd District offered the following invocation:

We confess our offenses are many in Your sight. We acknowledge our iniquities, our rebellion, and our treachery against You, our Lord.

We turn our backs on You, lying, doing things our own way, shutting our eyes to things You call us to do, and doing those things we know in our heart we should not do.

Justice is on the run. Righteousness stands at a distance. Truth stumbles in the streets. Honesty is shunned, and whoever rejects evil is a target of ridicule.

Help us to repent, and give us courage to stand on Your side and reject evil.

Rise up strong, righteous people, for our children to follow so their paths are clear.

Help each of us to diligently seek Your will so we may do righteous deeds and be models of upright behavior.

Forgive us; guide us so we may have peace in our state, peace in our families, and peace in our hearts.

God, have mercy. Amen.

Senator McManus asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator McManus' statement is as follows:

I would like to echo the statements that we've just heard from my fellow Senator and also congratulate the university. I am happy to be a signer of the resolution with Senator North and Senator Koivisto.

I came close to representing Northern. I had Escanaba, which is not all that far away, in terms of U.P. distances.

Just a couple of unique points I think I'd like to bring out this morning to the chamber about Northern. I was up there a couple of years ago, and they were planning a business conference for countries around the world that measure their place on the earth as their distance from the North Pole, rather than from the Equator. I thought that was rather unique that we have a university in Michigan that's located that can talk about business and trade with countries in Scandinavia and Russia and across that part of the world which quite often get left out in our normal deliberations.

The other thing I think many of us know about Northern that we ought to put into the record is that they have the longest Yooper Dome in the state and probably in the nation. If you haven't been to that place, it's a very unique sports facility that's undoubtedly helped bring along some of these coaches who were mentioned this morning. I can tell you in the case of high school athletics, it's been very important to teams throughout the Upper Peninsula and the northern part of the Lower Peninsula who have played their games in the Yooper Dome, which is kind of necessary on account of the weather in that part of the state. So my hat is off to Northern Michigan University.

Congratulations, and I hope you have another hundred years.

Senator Stille offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 51.

A resolution to urge the Department of Environmental Quality to commence cleanup work on Tannery Bay in White Lake in Muskegon County.

Whereas, Over the past several decades, various governmental organizations have been monitoring the conditions of Tannery Bay and other portions of White Lake in Muskegon County. Past activities of the Whitehall Leather Company, including the disposal of certain materials, have drawn the attention of area residents. Studies conducted in recent years indicate the presence of significant contamination in the sediment in this part of the lake; and

Whereas, The high level of heavy metal contaminants in the soil beneath the waters of White Lake demands swift action to prevent more damage to the the ecosystem of the lake. The state, through the Department of Environmental Quality, has identified White Lake as a target for swift cleanup efforts. Money from the Clean Michigan Initiative has already been set aside to fund final testing preliminary to the dredging of the toxic sludge; and

Whereas, In spite of the need for quick action to remove the pollutants, and in spite of the fact that these toxic materials were identified in studies four years ago, removal of contaminated soil in the bay and adjoining area of White Lake has yet to commence. Due to continued calls for further testing by the potential responsible party, cleanup work is on hold. As legal maneuvering occurs, the condition of the lake is further threatened with each passing day. A far more prudent strategy would be to take positive actions immediately--for the Department of Environmental Quality to start the cleanup work--while the legal details of assessing costs and blame are taking place. No matter how the final details are handled, the true costs will only escalate with each delay; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we urge the Department of Environmental Quality to commence cleanup work on Tannery Bay in White Lake in Muskegon County; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Department of Environmental Quality.

Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,

Senator Rogers moved that the rule be suspended.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Senator Rogers moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Young was named co-sponsor of the resolution.

By unanimous consent the Senate proceeded to the order of

Statements

 

 

Senator Byrum asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Byrum's statement is as follows:

I want to share with you that today, April 28, is Workers' Memorial Day and to recognize those who have died or been seriously injured on the job.

It is with great sorrow that we remember the millions of workers killed and injured each year at work sites across North America. Together with the Lansing Labor Council, the Michigan AFL-CIO and working men and women everywhere, we recognize April 28 as an international day of mourning and recognition of the brave men and women who have risked life and limb to build our nation.

As many of you know, the first Workers' Memorial Day was observed on this day 11 years ago in 1989 and was chosen because it is the anniversary of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which is the most significant legislation to protect workers ever voted into law in the United States.

Today we celebrate union victories winning laws and protections that have made the workplace safer and given working people a voice on the job. Together we must use this day as a rallying cry to renew and continue the fight for safe workplaces and better working conditions.

 

By unanimous consent the Senate returned to the order of
