Father Robert Duggan, C.S.B., Pastor of Ste. Anne de Detroit Church of Detroit, offered the following invocation:

 

"Jethro said to his son-in-law Moses, 'enlighten the people, showing them how they are to live. But you should also look for able and God-fearing people, trustworthy ones who hate dishonest gain. Let these render decisions for the people.' Moses followed the advice of his father-in-law. Then he spoke to the people, 'choose wise, intelligent and experienced people from your tribes, that I may appoint them as your leaders.' They answered, 'we agree to do as you have proposed.' Moses charged the leaders, 'listen to complaints and administer true justice to both parties, even if one is an alien. In rendering judgment, do not consider who a person is; give ear to the lowly and to the great alike, fearing no one, for judgment is God's.' (Exodus and Deuteronomy)

Lord, forgive us that we forget that we are made of body, mind and spirit. And that too often the spirit is neglected. We have often created a void which allows evil, prejudice, hatred, and racism to rush in and wreck havoc. Lord, forgive us that so often we are so afraid of being sued or thought ill of that we choose the coward's way and people are hurt, marred, scarred, and charred in their souls. Forgive us that we have forgotten that this nation was founded on the principle of a simple trust in God. We have too often put the cult of the party system above the worship of You, our God. Lord, we ask Your blessing on these people in authority here, bless this noble legislature with Your spirit of truth, of justice, of honor. Let these leaders of our state be life-givers and representatives filled with honor and integrity--public servants of all the people. Let them guide us to peace and Your prosperity in every acre of this beautiful state. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen."

Reports of Standing Committees

 

 

The Speaker laid before the House

House Resolution No. 389.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to authorize states to prohibit or restrict foreign municipal solid waste and to urge the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure full compliance with the transboundary hazardous waste agreement with Canada.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 28, p. 868.)

(The resolution was reported by the Committee on Land Use and Environment on April 23, with substitute (H-1), consideration of which, under the rules, was postponed until today.)

(For substitute, see House Journal No. 35, p. 1224.)

The question being on the adoption of the proposed substitute (H-1) recommended by the Committee,

The substitute (H-1) was not adopted, a majority of the members serving not voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

 

 

Rep. Cassis moved to substitute (H-4) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 389.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to authorize states to prohibit or restrict foreign municipal solid waste and to urge the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure full compliance with the transboundary hazardous waste agreement with Canada.

Whereas, Michigan has long been frustrated in efforts to regulate solid waste imported into our state. Our state is especially concerned about waste that is brought here from Ontario. Our citizens feel strongly that our environment should not be placed at additional risk from municipal solid waste and other materials that are generated elsewhere and transported here for disposal; and

Whereas, The volume of waste that comes into Michigan each year represents a significant portion of all trash handled here. As much as 20 percent of all solid waste in Michigan is from out of state, and the amount has increased significantly in recent years; and

Whereas, Congress has authority for regulating the transportation and disposal of solid waste between states and nations by virtue of the United States Constitution's interstate commerce clause. To protect the public health, safety, and welfare of our environment and citizens, Congress must take action to provide states with the express means to regulate or prohibit the importation of trash. Congress has before it now a bill that would provide the appropriate authority to the states. Under H.R. 1927, states could prohibit or impose certain limitations on the receipt of foreign municipal solid waste; and

Whereas, Hazardous waste and solid waste transported between Canada and the United States are provided for in the Agreement Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States Concerning the Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Waste. It has been reported, however, that the notification requirements and procedures set forth in the agreement have not been followed. It is most disturbing to think that the protections provided in the agreement between our nations are not working. The people of this state have every right to know that all prudent measures are being enforced to protect our citizens and environment; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to authorize states to prohibit or restrict foreign municipal solid waste and to urge the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure full compliance with the Agreement Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States Concerning the Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Waste; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the Environmental Protection Agency.

The motion prevailed and the substitute (H-4) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

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 voted 'no' on this bill because it includes substantial increases on fees paid by legitimate businesses which perform an important function in guaranteeing the safety of our food supply. I support additional environmental safeguards contained in the bill, and regret that a successful effort to roll back the fee increases was defeated by procedural actions.

Money is fungible. Once paid to the state, taxes and fees all go into the same pot. Too often in recent times politicians who know voters will rebel at tax increases, have increased government revenue through the 'back door' with endless fee increases. If the government can't accomplish the tasks past legislatures have given it, then we should limit those tasks, not seek 'back door' revenue hikes."

 

Rep. Woodward, 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 against Senate Bill 989 for the following reasons: I believe that the Michigan Department of Agriculture has the responsibility to insure that the families of Michigan are protected from harm. In regards to pesticide application, I believe the people of Michigan were not best served by this legislation. The MDA has the responsibility of regulating pesticides and their application. But what happens when the MDA finds a company guilty of misapplying pesticides in someone's home? There is nothing MDA is empowered to do to guarantee the pesticide is cleaned up. This is a public safety issue and unfortunately the consumers loose in the absence of amendments that I offered to this bill. Angela Essenmacher of Royal Oak also looses. She can't live her in house because of misapplied pesticides that were not cleaned up by a chemical company. Because of her situation, I learned that something needs to change at the MDA to insure what happened to her never happens to anyone else. I offered amendments to guarantee clean up of pesticides when a pesticide company misapplies them in ones home, not only for Ms. Essenmacher, but also for all families in Michigan that may unfortunately be in her same situation. It is shameful we did not act to protect the people of Michigan by making sure that if a pesticide company wrongs you, people have the certainty the mess will be cleaned up. Until this is done the State of Michigan has not done the job right."

House Resolution No. 420.

A resolution commemorating the courage and heroism of Lt. Chris Sullivan, Carl Bedigian, John Florio, Mike Roberts, Kenny Watson, and all the firefighters of Engine 214, Ladder 111 of the New York City Fire Department and proclaiming May 2, 2002, as a day to honor them.

Whereas, On September 11, 2001, Lt. Chris Sullivan, Carl Bedigian, John Florio, Mike Roberts, and Kenny Watson of Engine 214, Ladder 111 of the New York City Fire Department responded to one of the most tragic events in the history of the United States. These five men gave of themselves selflessly at the New York City's World Trade Center. By answering their station's alarm they gave the ultimate sacrifice of duty, to offer their lives so that others might be saved; and

Whereas, These five men exemplify that there is unquestionably no greater act of valor than that of one who lays down his or her life for a friend or stranger. Their courage, heroism, and patriotism during the acts of September 11, 2001, have inspired our nation and strengthened our resolve during the tenuous days that have followed; and

Whereas, As the families of Chris, Carl, John, Mike, Kenny, and the firefighters of Engine 214, Ladder 111 have lost a father, husband, brother, son, companion, and/or fellow firefighter, may they be comforted by the knowledge and understanding that their loss is shared by our country as a whole. May the families, friends, and fellow firefighters know that these men shall forever be remembered in the hearts and minds of persons from all over the world as heroes in heart and action; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commend the courage and heroism of Lt. Chris Sullivan, Carl Bedigian, John Florio, Mike Roberts, Kenny Watson, and all the firefighters of Engine 214, Ladder 111 and proclaim May 2, 2002, as a day to honor them; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the family, friends, and fellow firefighters of Lt. Chris Sullivan, Carl Bedigian, John Florio, Mike Roberts, and Kenny Watson.

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.

House Resolution No. 421.

A resolution commemorating the 10th anniversary of Grandparents United Intergenerational Developmental Education (Project GUIDE) and to express appreciation for their valuable contributions in Michigan.

Whereas, We are proud to join with the members, officers, and friends of Grandparents United Intergenerational Developmental Education (Project GUIDE), a program of the Neighborhood Service Organization, as they gather to mark the 10th anniversary of this outstanding group. This milestone is a reflection of unselfishness and commitment to the common good that is most commendable. While the members of this distinguished organization celebrate 10 years of service, we offer our thanks for the gifts they have shared within the city of Detroit and throughout Michigan; and

Whereas, Grandparents United Intergenerational Developmental Education can trace its origins back to 1992 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 shown the belief that members have maintained in their mission of service and the unity of the membership. Project GUIDE was the first model program of its kind to service the grandparent and the grandchild and was among the first in the nation. Project GUIDE provides weekly support group meetings, respite for grandparents, recreation for grandchildren, life skills workshops, advocacy, and transportation. Recent funding has allowed the program to hire a therapist who can make home visits when necessary. The organization's noteworthy mission is to measurably improve the health and welfare of intergenerational custodial families and reduce the social isolation of grandparents who have custodial responsibilities for grandchildren due to drug related problems in the children's family of origin; and

Whereas, With ceremonies to celebrate its history, the members and officers of Grandparents United Intergenerational Developmental Education will remember the vision of many people and the hours and years of commitment that have brought the group to this point. Fittingly, as they look to the past, they will also be casting an eye to the future and to the many ways in which Grandparents United Intergenerational Developmental Education will continue to reach out in our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 10th anniversary of Grandparents United Intergenerational Developmental Education (Project GUIDE) and express appreciation for their valuable contributions in Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Grandparents United Intergenerational Developmental Education and the Neighborhood Service Organization as evidence of our appreciation.

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.

House Resolution No. 422.

A resolution to express opposition to the dissolution of the city of Highland Park through annexation or other means.

Whereas, The city of Highland Park, Michigan, has a population of more than 16,000; and

Whereas, Highland Park is the birthplace of mass production; and

Whereas, Highland Park faces fiscal challenges not unlike most urban areas of the United States; and

Whereas, In spite of challenges, Highland Park continues to attract industrial, commercial, and residential developments; and

Whereas, This is an opportunity for leadership on the state level to design a model for the rescue of challenged urban areas; and

Whereas, In discussions about the future of the Highland Park community, the voices of its citizens must be heard; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express opposition to the dissolution of the city of Highland Park through annexation or other means. We urge the Governor to reject any proposals for annexation or merger that would dissolve Highland Park. We also urge that no actions be taken and no changes made to the Highland Park city charter without a vote of the citizens of Highland Park; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor and to the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Local Government and Urban Policy.

House Resolution No. 423.

A resolution honoring the Epsilon Eta Chapter of the Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc.

Whereas, It is with great pleasure that we commend the Epsilon Eta Chapter of the Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc., as it hosts the 37th annual Middlewest Regional Conference. We offer our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated members of this organization, who have time and time again worked to promote and encourage health care, never forgetting their motto, "Service for Humanity"; and

Whereas, Chi Eta Phi International Professional Nurses Organization was founded by Ailene Carrington Ewell and 11 nurses in 1932 at Freedmen's Hospital in Washington, D.C. They did this with the twofold purpose of elevating the plane of nursing and increasing interest in the nursing profession. Since that time, this respected group has lived up to its goals of enhancing health care; and

Whereas, There are over 8,000 registered nurses and student nurses who hold membership in Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc., with 26 chapters located in the United States, District of Columbia, Liberia, West Africa, and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The Middlewest Region and its graduate and undergraduate chapters have been a beacon in their respective communities, providing program activities with middle and high school students, nursing students, and health promotion activities in various community settings; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the Epsilon Eta Chapter of the Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc.; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc., as a token 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 resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Kowall, Bishop, Raczkowski, Pappageorge, Koetje, Mortimer, Patterson, George, Shackleton, Allen, Drolet, DeRossett, McConico and Shulman offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 65.

A concurrent resolution to urge Canadian and United States authorities to adhere to the provisions of their agreement concerning the transboundary movement of hazardous and other waste.

Whereas, The Agreement Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America Concerning the Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Waste was signed and became effective in 1986. This agreement was amended in 1992 to include municipal solid waste transported across the border. The agreement sets forth specific provisions for notifications and consent; and

Whereas, It has been reported that the notification and consent components of the agreement, which are fundamental to the compact, are not being followed. According the United States Environmental Protection Agency, which is our country's "designated authority" under the agreement, the two governments have not implemented the notice and consent provisions for municipal solid waste shipments. The EPA has neither received notification of municipal waste shipments from Canada nor protested the lack of information; and

Whereas, With the seriousness of the issues involved and the strong objections of many people and groups in our state to the importing of any trash into our state, it is very disturbing to think that a significant tool like the bilateral agreement between the United States and Canada would be ignored. After many frustrations over efforts to regulate imported solid waste, the notification and consent requirements for municipal solid waste can finally give us long-overdue input on the solid waste that is imported; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge Canadian and United States authorities to adhere to the provisions of the Agreement Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America Concerning the Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Waste; and be it

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Canadian Department of the Environment, the Environmental Protection Agency, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Land Use and Environment.
