Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Phillips, Kilpatrick, Rick Johnson, Kowall, Bishop, Plakas, Anderson, Quarles, Rison, Jamnick, Minore, Hardman, Kolb, Williams, Wojno, Lipsey, Rich Brown, Adamini, Zelenko, Whitmer, Callahan, Frank, Gieleghem, Garza, Schauer, Hale, Basham, Clark, Pumford, Jelinek, Godchaux, Gosselin, Stamas, Neumann, Pestka, Rivet, Bogardus, Bovin, Dennis, Thomas, Waters and Lemmons offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 236.

A resolution honoring Reverend Dr. Amos G. Johnson for forty-four years of pastoral service at New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Pontiac, Michigan.

Whereas, Reverend Dr. Amos G. Johnson was born and raised in Mississippi by loving Christian parents. He was greatly influenced by his father, Reverend Robert Johnson; and

Whereas, In 1945, Reverend Johnson started his seminary training at the American Baptist Theological Seminary in Nashville, Tennessee. He earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Jackson State College in Mississippi in 1946 and later received a Bachelor of Theology Degree in 1948 from the American Baptist Theological Seminary; and

Whereas, Proverbs 18:22 says, "he who finds a wife finds a good thing". While Reverend Johnson was studying at the Seminary, a young lady named Marjorie Shea from Nassau, Bahamas was attending the Seminary in the Women's Department, known as the Missionary Baptist Training School. She was set to return to the Bahamas as a missionary for her church, Salem Baptist of Nassau. Instead of returning, she married Reverend Johnson. New Bethel is doubly blessed through the leadership of Pastor and Mrs. Johnson, especially in the Missions Ministry; and

Whereas, Shortly after their marriage, they went to Mississippi to do the work that God called them to do. They settled down, started their family, and had two children. When Mrs. Johnson speaks of that time, she remembers those early days fondly. She says that since her husband has been in the ministry, he has kept his covenant with God, which is, that if God would make him a soul-winning minister, he would live true to Him; and

Whereas, Pastor Johnson ministered at Champion Hill Baptist Church in Bolton, Mississippi and organized, built, and ministered at St. Mark Baptist Church in Clinton, Mississippi. He was the pastor at both churches for seven years. In rural areas in those days, it was not uncommon to be a pastor at two churches. He gave each church two Sundays a month and taught Bible classes at both on alternate Wednesday nights. During that time, he was also teaching school; and

Whereas, In June of 1957, Reverend Johnson felt that God led him away from Mississippi to Michigan. Shortly after his arrival, Reverend Wright, the pastor at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, mentioned to Reverend Johnson that New Bethel Baptist Church of Pontiac was looking to replace the Pastor who had recently resigned. He wondered if Reverend Johnson was interested in seeking the position. Reverend Amos G. Johnson became the pastor of New Bethel Baptist

Church later that year. Pastor Johnson is still serving as pastor, this year marking his 44th year. In addition, Pastor Johnson serves the community with active participation in many organizations, boards, committees, and religious affiliations. He is fondly referred to as "A Pastor for the People"; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Reverend Dr. Amos G. Johnson for forty-four years of devoted pastoral service to New Bethel Baptist Church of Pontiac, Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to him as evidence of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Patterson 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. Richardville, Howell, Julian, Koetje, Hansen, Vander Roest, Adamini, Hardman, Lipsey, Jelinek, Spade, Stewart, Mead, Vear, Vander Veen, Faunce, Meyer, Rivet, DeVuyst, Kuipers, Neumann, Wojno, McConico, Toy, Ehardt, Pappageorge, Bogardus, Newell, DeRossett, Cassis, Rich Brown, Birkholz, Hale, Anderson, Quarles, Gieleghem, Woronchak, Raczkowski, Lemmons, Jamnick, Murphy, Switalski, Jacobs, Kooiman, DeWeese, Jansen, Richner, Voorhees, Shackleton, Gosselin, Kowall, Clarke and Sanborn offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 237.

A resolution honoring Shirley Cox, recipient of the Michigan Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year Award.

Whereas, It is a pleasure to offer our congratulations to Shirley Cox upon her being selected as the Michigan Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year. With the record that this talented and energetic teacher has compiled over the years, this is a most fitting symbol of excellence in an endeavor of great importance to every citizen, business, and institution in this state, which is the education of our young people; and

Whereas, Michigan has a long tradition of belief in the value of education. Our state was the first to provide, in its constitution, for an officer with statewide duties in public education. In the settlements in all parts of the state, hiring a schoolteacher and finding a place to hold classes were always among the first tasks marking a sense of community for the pioneers; and

Whereas, In receiving the Michigan Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year Award, Shirley Cox is being singled out for her efforts in several areas. In addition to specific innovations in the classroom, study units, and programs, she is being honored for her success in the most fundamental component of learning, motivating young people. We applaud the dedication she has consistently displayed and offer our thanks for the manner in which both students and other educators benefit from all of this hard work; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of the this legislative body join in honoring Shirley Cox, recipient of the Michigan Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year Award; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Shirley Cox as a token of our respect for her fine work.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Patterson 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. Vander Roest, Spade, Raczkowski, Kuipers, Patterson, Mans, Birkholz, Howell, Julian, Lipsey, Jelinek, Stewart, Mead, Vear, Vander Veen, Faunce, Meyer, DeVuyst, Neumann, Wojno, Rocca, Toy, Ehardt, Bogardus, Newell, DeRossett, Richardville, Cassis, Rich Brown, Scranton, Hale, Woronchak, Switalski, DeWeese, Voorhees, Shackleton, Kowall, Clarke and Sanborn offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 238.

A resolution to urge the Governor to establish a director of homeland security for Michigan.

Whereas, With the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, it has become clear that our nation faces difficult new challenges as we work to ensure domestic tranquility and provide for the common defense of our people. Subsequent threats and spreading reports of anthrax infections only amplify the need for new strategies of communication, vigilance, and protection; and

Whereas, President Bush has taken swift actions to address the complex issues before us. His creation of a cabinet-level post of the Office of Homeland Security is an important step and a most appropriate recognition of the new realities facing our nation. Several states have established offices to coordinate emergency plans and strengthen public health and safety resources; and

Whereas, The idea of a state director of homeland security may be an appropriate response in Michigan as well. While we have every confidence in the professionalism and dedication of the men and women in local and state public health and safety agencies, it is clear that our state faces unique challenges. As a border state that includes some of the busiest crossing points between the United States and Canada and as a state with expansive natural and man-made resources and facilities, Michigan faces strategic challenges that are particularly important. At the least, all options need to be thoroughly considered; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Governor to establish a director of homeland security for Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.

 

 

Reps. Kilpatrick, Hardman, Quarles, Hale, Daniels, McConico, Lipsey, Williams, Waters, Reeves, Thomas, Clark, Stallworth, Garza, Clarke, Rison, Phillips, Murphy and Lemmons offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 239.

A resolution to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators and to express appreciation for their valuable contributions to the state of Michigan.

Whereas, We are proud to join with the members, officers, and friends of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators as they gather to mark the 25th anniversary of this outstanding group. This milestone is a reflection of the unselfishness and commitment to the common good that is most commendable. While the members of this distinguished organization celebrate 25 years of service, we offer our thanks for the gifts they have shared within Michigan and throughout the United States; and

Whereas, The National Black Caucus of State Legislators can trace its origin back to 1976 and the aspirations of its founders. In the years that have followed since they first came together, this organization has adapted to changes in society, membership, and expectations. This ability to grow and change has helped maintain the members' belief in their mission of service and the unity of the membership; and

Whereas, With ceremonies to celebrate its history, the members and officers of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators will remember the vision of many people and the hours and years of commitment it has taken to bring this dedicated group to their 25th year of service to our nation. Fittingly, as they remember the past, they will also continue to focus on the future and the many ways in which the National Black Caucus of State Legislators will continue to reach out in our state and the entire nation; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 25th anniversary of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators and express appreciation for their valuable contributions to the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the National Black Caucus of State Legislators as evidence of our esteem.
