Motions and Resolutions

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 419 out of numerical order.

Reps. Anderson, Gilbert, Stamas, Neumann and Raczkowski offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 419.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to establish a minimum rate of return of 95 percent of Michigan's federal transportation funding for highway and transit programs.

Whereas, Michigan faces a difficult task in maintaining a transportation network that meets the many needs of the individuals and businesses of this state. This challenge is made more difficult because of the fact that Michigan receives in return from the federal government far less in highway funding than we send to Washington; and

Whereas, Under the provisions of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, Michigan currently receives approximately 90.5 cents in return for every highway dollar we send to the federal government. While this is a notable improvement from the amounts received in prior years, it remains inadequate for our state's considerable overall transportation needs. In the area of transit, the deficiency of funding received from Washington is much more severe, with Michigan receiving only about 50 cents for each dollar we send through taxes; and

Whereas, For Fiscal Year 2003, proposed federal transportation funding for Michigan is expected to be $222 million less than Fiscal Year 2002. This shortfall will present significant problems to certain aspects of our transportation infrastructure. As discussions take place on future funding mechanisms and the next federal transportation funding bill, it is imperative that a fairer approach be developed; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to establish a minimum rate of return of 95 percent of Michigan's federal transportation funding for highway and transit programs; 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, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

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. Gilbert, Anderson, Stamas, Neumann and Raczkowski offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 64.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to establish a minimum rate of return of 95 percent of Michigan's federal transportation funding for highway and transit programs.

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to establish a minimum rate of return of 95 percent of Michigan's federal transportation funding for highway and transit programs; and be it further

Pending the reference of the concurrent resolution to a committee,

Rep. Patterson moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the concurrent 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 concurrent resolution,

The concurrent resolution was adopted.

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Shackleton, Allen, Sheltrown, LaSata, Neumann, Schermesser, Howell, Raczkowski, Richner, Kuipers, Cassis, Ehardt, Julian, Hale, Zelenko, Woodward, Lemmons, Vander Roest, DeWeese, DeVuyst, Hansen, Gosselin, Faunce, Murphy, Rich Brown, Adamini, Switalski, DeRossett, Lockwood, Richardville, Pappageorge, Toy, Voorhees, Vander Veen, Hager, Mead, Shulman, Vear, Meyer, Caul, Birkholz and Palmer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 416.

A resolution to urge the Public Service Commission to petition the Federal Communications Commission for a waiver that would combine Mackinac Island, St. Ignace, and Mackinaw City in one local calling area.

Whereas, For many years, the communities of Mackinaw City, St. Ignace, and Mackinac Island have been closely linked by their unique bonds in commerce and the geography of the Straits of Mackinac. As one of the best known and most frequently visited tourist centers in the Midwest, this area is a single entity in many ways; and

Whereas, For the purposes of telephone service, however, the three communities are not considered to be close enough for toll-free local calling. Calls from St. Ignace and Mackinac Island to Mackinaw City are toll calls because they cross from one Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) to another. In order for the three communities to be considered as a single local calling area, the FCC must grant a waiver for the establishment of a Cross LATA Zone; and

Whereas, The strong ties among Mackinaw City, St. Ignace, and Mackinac Island include dependence on ferries transporting tourists and materials, the many employees who live in one community and work in another, and the longstanding business and service relationships in place. In spite of the separation created by the Straits, these communities are clearly as interrelated as any adjacent communities can be; and

Whereas, While calls between Mackinac Island and St. Ignace have recently been recategorized as local calls, the logic behind that decision clearly exists when considering those two communities and Mackinaw City. The six-mile water separation is not a true barrier among communities that rely upon each other for supplies, workers, and business. The unique commercial and cultural ties should be recognized and reflected in phone service as well; now, therefore, be it

House Resolution No. 417.

A resolution calling for the Michigan State Fair to remain at its present location in the city of Detroit.

Whereas, It is with great pride that the city of Detroit has hosted the Michigan State Fair since 1849, when the nation's oldest state fair started, and in 1851-1862, 1867-1868, 1878-1880, 1883, 1894, and permanently since 1905; and

Whereas, In 1904, Joseph L. Hudson, founder of Detroit's leading department store, along with three associates, wished to give the State Fair a permanent home and purchased the land between Seven and one-half and Eight Mile Roads, east of Woodward Avenue, and sold these 135 acres to the Michigan State Agricultural Society for one dollar. The society accepted the land and purchased another 32 acres, which increased the fairgrounds to 167 acres. The fairgrounds presently measure 207 acres, due to additional purchases by the Michigan Land Trust Fund in the late 1980s and early 1990s; and

Whereas, The present site of the Michigan State Fair was dedicated as State Historic Site No. 172 on August 29, 1958. The Michigan State Fair has a proud history in the city of Detroit. Detroit has encouraged the agricultural development of the state, provided a forum for agricultural interests since the early days of farming in Michigan, and contributed to public understanding of the occupation of farming among urban residents. More than one million people visit the fairgrounds each year. They have come to rely on the convenience and services of the Michigan State Fair at its present location; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we call for the Michigan State Fair to remain in Detroit. The members of this legislative body recognize the historical, cultural, and other benefits that the Michigan State Fair has been able to provide Michigan residents through its present site in the city of Detroit. We call for the state not to sell this Historic Site, which has long made the Michigan State Fair a place of joy, entertainment, and education; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the President and the Secretary of the Michigan Senate, the Senate Committee on Farming, Agribusiness and Food Systems, and the Michigan Department of Agriculture.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Resource Management.

Reps. DeWeese, Bernero, LaSata, Neumann, Schermesser, Howell, Raczkowski, Jansen, Richner, Kuipers, Cassis, Ehardt, Julian, Hale, Zelenko, Spade, Woodward, Lemmons, Hansen, Faunce, McConico, Lipsey, Murphy, Minore, Rich Brown, Adamini, Gieleghem, Hardman, Switalski, DeRossett, Lockwood, Richardville, Jacobs, Pappageorge, Toy, Vander Veen, Hager, Clarke, Mead, Phillips, Shulman, Vear, Meyer, Caul and Birkholz offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 418.

A resolution honoring Helena Dubose as she is honored by the Lansing Black Lawyers Association.

Whereas, Helena Dubose was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and raised in Pascagoula, Mississippi. After graduating from Dillard University with a B.S. in nursing, she began her career as a staff and assistant head nurse at the United States Veterans Hospital in Alexandria, Louisiana. Upon moving to Lansing, Michigan, in 1960 with her husband Cullen, Mrs. Dubose began her career as an instructor at the Mercy School of Nursing. She later became the Associate Director of the school. Mrs. Dubose worked in the health care field until 1981 when she became co-owner and general manager of Rapid Photo, Inc., the first one-hour photo lab in Lansing; and

Whereas, As a community leader and pioneer, Mrs. Dubose's most successful business venture and contribution to the Lansing community has been the development of WQHH and WXLA radio stations through the company Mid Michigan FM, Inc. The stations' urban contemporary format appeals to a diverse segment of the market that has never been adequately served. Today the stations boast the most diverse and loyal audience in the market. The diverse nature of their listening audience has enabled the stations to occupy a unique position of influence in the community and to maximize its impact on the lives of the citizens of the Greater Lansing area; and

Whereas, The stations, under the leadership of Mrs. Dubose, have demonstrated a commitment to the Greater Lansing community through their involvement in a number of initiatives, public service projects, and organizations. They have made a significant investment in the life and vitality of the Greater Lansing community. More importantly, the stations serve as a training ground for minority and women broadcast staff who have gone on to add diversity to the broadcast industry as a whole; and

Whereas, Mrs. "D", as she is affectionately called by her staff, and the stations have overcome many competitive and personal hardships to become a successful small business. Her success can be attributed to her calm and friendly demeanor but is a direct result of her professional manner and outstanding business acumen; and

Whereas, Mrs. Dubose continues her personal contributions to society on the local, national, and international level through memberships in the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Lansing-East Lansing Chapter of Links, Inc., and by being a Life & Golden Heritage member of the NAACP; and

Whereas, Mrs. Dubose has been honored in the past for her many contributions to the Lansing Community by being awarded the Pioneer Award (Forum Magazine), Minority Business Person Award (Lansing Chamber of Commerce), YWCA's Diana Award (Business), NAACP President's Award, and the Omega Psi Phi Citizen of the Year Award. In 2002, the company has been nominated for the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce Small Business Award; and

Whereas, Helena and her husband Cullen Dubose are members of the Trinity A.M.E. Church, where Helena serves as Trustee Emeritus. Together they have three adult children, a daughter, Cheri Dubose Reid, and two sons, Cullen II and Freddie. The Duboses are the proud grandparents of Ariel and Christopher Reid; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Helena Dubose as she is honored by the Lansing Black Lawyers Association; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Helena Dubose as evidence of our most sincere congratulations and thanks for her dedication to the people of mid-Michigan.

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.
