Messages from the Governor

 

 

The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

 

Executive Office, Lansing, December 28, 2004

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol

Lansing, Michigan 48909-7514

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I have vetoed and return with my objections Enrolled House Bill 5467, as provided under Section 33 of Article IV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963. The bill would penalize couples who had not taken marriage education courses by forcing a delay in issuing a marriage license.

Let me be clear: Marriage preservation is a very important issue. But the decisions men and women make about marriage are private decisions. State government should not expand its role into such private affairs when such expansion is neither effective nor appropriate.

As indicated by my earlier signature of Enrolled House Bill 5472, now Public Act 376 of 2004, I am willing to work with the House and Senate on appropriate public issues relating to marriage preservation. Should the 93rd Michigan Legislature seek to proceed along a similar path, I urge legislators to begin with an examination of those states with the lowest divorce rates and an identification of those policies that have proven most effective in encouraging marriage and nurturing healthy family relationships. I would also point to House Bill 5474, which would allow retired clergy to perform volunteer counseling, as one example of the type of legislation I could support were it not tie-barred to other legislation that inappropriately expands the role of state government.

The Legislature's ill-advised decision to tie-bar House Bill 5467 to eleven other bills--including other bills that overreach and other bills that I could support--now ensures that none of the bills in this package will become law. I hope we can pursue a more reasoned approach in the new year.

Respectfully,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor

The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:

 

Executive Office, Lansing, December 28, 2004

Michigan House of Representatives

State Capitol

Lansing, Michigan 48909-7514

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Today I have vetoed and return with my objections Enrolled House Bill 5844, as provided under Section 33 of Article IV of the Michigan Constitution of 1963. The bill would classify as a property tax the "Michigan manufactured housing specific tax levied under the Michigan Manufactured housing specific tax act." Michigan law does not currently provide for such a tax or include such an act.

Additionally, House Bill 5844 is tie-barred to House Bill 4880, which has not been approved by the 92nd Legislature. I again remind you that as a general rule I am reluctant to sign one measure tie-barred to another without both bills on my desk at the same time as I cannot know the final content of the other bill and how the two are interrelated, if at all.

For these reasons, I return Enrolled House Bill 5844 without signature.

Respectfully,

Jennifer M. Granholm

Governor
