Motions and Resolutions
Rep. Kuipers offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 521.
A resolution to urge the legislative bodies of the other states to begin their daily legislative sessions with a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Whereas, For more than a century, the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag has served to unify the people of our country behind the essential ideals of our system of self-government. Generations of citizens, especially young people who begin each school day with this affirmation of citizenship, have used the Pledge of Allegiance to recommit themselves to one another; and
Whereas, In times of peril for our country, the Pledge of Allegiance has been especially meaningful in restating simply and quickly our devotion to our country and its highest aspirations. Today, as we face the difficult foe of terrorism, the Pledge of Allegiance reminds all who recite it of the importance of working together to defend our nation and its noble ideals; and
Whereas, The recent focus on the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag occasioned by an ill-advised federal appellate court reminds us of the great significance of this simple, yet eloquent proclamation. All those who are privileged to carry out the work of government as elected representatives would do well to start each day with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the legislative bodies of the other states to begin their daily legislative sessions with a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the legislative bodies of each of the other states of the country.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.
Rep. Kuipers offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 522.
A resolution to amend the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives.
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That Rule 15 of the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives be amended to read as follows:
"Roll Call.
Rule 15. (A) The Clerk shall serve as parliamentarian of the House. The Clerk shall take the roll at the opening of each session of the House and announce whether or not a quorum is present. The Clerk shall enter upon the House Journal the names of the Members present for attendance roll call, the names of the Members specifically excused from session, and the names of the Members absent from session.
(B) The term "roll call" as used in these rules shall mean a record roll call.
(C) FOLLOWING THE ATTENDANCE ROLL CALL, THE HOUSE WILL BEGIN EACH DAY'S SESSION WITH A RECITATION OF THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG.".
The resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.
Rep. Raczkowski offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 523.
A resolution to urge Senator Stabenow to stand up for Michigan and vote to approve the establishment of the permanent nuclear storage facility at Yucca Mountain in Nevada.
Whereas, The July 2, 2002, issue of the Las Vegas Review-Journal has reported that United States Senator Debbie Stabenow plans to vote against the establishment of the permanent nuclear waste facility at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. This marks a clear reversal of Senator Stabenow's earlier position of support. The report cites concerns over possible transportation options as the reason for her new position, just days before the full United States Senate is slated to vote on final approval; and
Whereas, Senator Stabenow's new stance flies in the face of the long years of research and preparation that indicate the advisability of the Nevada nuclear repository as the best option available for the safety and well-being of our people; and
Whereas, Opposition to the single site storage strategy at Yucca Mountain amounts to approval of the current storage situation, in which sites are scattered all across the country, with greatly varying degrees of safety and security. Opposing the Yucca Mountain plan, which has been developed painstakingly over many years, is of particular concern for Michigan, where nuclear waste sits in temporary storage not far from the world's largest accessible source of fresh water; and
Whereas, In accordance with federal law, Michigan electric customers have paid over $400 million into a federal fund for construction of the federal waste facility; and
Whereas, While the long effort to find and develop a site for nuclear storage has always been vitally important to the long-term health of our state and nation, a new level of urgency has been associated with this work in the aftermath of September 11th. The peril of continuing to store nuclear waste at dozens of sites all across America is high; and
Whereas, The risks of maintaining the current system of storage indefinitely are understood by the people of Michigan. It is imperative that our state's wishes--for the approval of the Yucca Mountain site--be represented in the United States Senate on this critically important matter; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge Senator Stabenow to stand up for Michigan and vote to approve the establishment of the permanent nuclear storage facility at Yucca Mountain in Nevada; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Senator Stabenow.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.

Rep. Callahan, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
This state is broke. The Governor and the Republican Party (majority) have mis-managed and eroded the general fund and dedicated funds, department by department. They have ignored the warning signs of revenue forcasting conferences and held a hard line to give tax breaks to corporations at the expence of the public trust. They have continued to borrow funds and raise the debt level, mortgaging the future of the next generation. They have NO viable plan other than to raise the tax to people that smoke."
Rep. Basham, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on House Bill 5646 for the following reasons:
The bill contains the refinance and restructure of bonds and allegedly saving $40 million in the short term. However, the long term effect of a "variable rate" is indeterminate, making this savings penny-wise and pound foolish. In addition, several thousand state workers will take advantage of the early retirement program, but this bill contains no funding to retrain state workers who may replace those employees adding to the structural deficit.
Too, the Department of Information Technology has been created entirely with interdepartmnetal grants from other departments many of whom, in turn, are using other IDG s from other departments and a majority of programs to be offered by DIT are currently being administered by other departments.
Finally, this state is facing a $480 million deficit for the current fiscal year and over 4350 million for next fiscal year. A number of revenues which contribute substantially to our state's General Fund are down a full ten percent form where they were a year ago. I cannot commit to further bonding, borrowing and unnecessary additional administrative costs when the working families of this state are, conversely, tightening their belts. We should take their example."
