Rep. John R. Pastor, from the 19th District, offered the following invocation:
"God, loving Father, today we gather as members of the House of Representatives of the State of Michigan, meeting together to consider so many important issues.
Be with us, O God, in this space and time as we shape and affirm the changes which we are about to consider.
We are here in trust; destroy all hopelessness; we are here in joy; dismiss all despair.
We bring years of experience and a depth of knowledge, to the issues set before us. Help us to reassess the journey; to set firm a new pathway; to lay new foundations which will bring to fruition new opportunities, new visions and vistas.
Knowing You are here God, we are freer in our interactions, gentle in our confrontations, respectfully silent in our deliberations, and accepting of the ideas placed before us.
In all our thoughts, ideas and imaginings, we ask for Your guidance and wisdom that our words and actions might contribute to Your further glory. We ask all in the name of the Lord. Amen."
______
Rep. Palmer moved that Reps. Ward and Casperson be excused from today's session.

Lansing, Michigan 48908-7514
Dear Mr. Randall:
Enclosed is a Special Message to the Second Session of the 93rd Michigan Legislature. This message transmitting information on the affairs of state and recommending measures I consider necessary and desirable is presented to the Michigan House of Representatives pursuant to Section 17 of Article V of the Michigan Constitution of 1963.

SPECIAL MESSAGE
TO THE MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE
PROTECTION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS
JEOPARDIZED BY PROPOSED REPEAL OF THE SINGLE BUSINESS TAX
To the Members of the Michigan Legislature:
Last week, an initiative petition seeking to repeal the Single Business Tax Act effective December 31, 2007 was filed with the Department of State. If the Board of State Canvassers determines that the initiative petition submitted includes the signatures of a sufficient number of registered electors, the proposed repeal will be presented to you for enactment without change or amendment. If not enacted within 40 days, the proposed repeal would be submitted to Michigan voters for approval or rejection on November 7, 2006. While the initiative petition provides for the repeal of the Single Business Tax, no provision is made for replacing the nearly $2 billion in business tax revenue generated annually by the tax to support important services for Michigan families, including education, healthcare, and public safety.
In their effort to eliminate the Single Business Tax, the proponents of the initiative irresponsibly failed to address the many economic development and job creation incentives included within Michigan's current business tax structure and the existing commitments made to businesses that have relocated or expanded in Michigan. This is negatively impacting economic development and job creation in Michigan. As I indicated in a March 31, 2006 message to the House of Representatives, repealing the Single Business Tax without a replacement business tax in place casts a cloud of uncertainty over Michigan's business climate. Job providers considering investment or expansion in Michigan are unable to estimate what their tax obligations may be without a replacement tax or substantially modified Single Business Tax in place. Uncertainty about taxes is a powerful disincentive to the new investment and job creation that Michigan needs. That is why I have repeatedly stressed the importance of acting now to determine just what will replace the Single Business Tax and the nearly $2 billion it generates each year.
Now, the pending repeal of the Single Business Tax is jeopardizing the effectiveness of important economic development tools that Michigan uses to: compete against other states and countries for jobs; redevelop former industrial and other brownfield sites for productive new use; preserve and restore historic assets for redevelopment; attract new development and jobs to areas throughout Michigan in need of development; and remain a productive partner in key local economic development projects. Businesses currently considering creating jobs, deciding whether to keeps jobs in Michigan, and perhaps most troubling, businesses that have already chosen Michigan in part because of these incentives, have expressed grave concern regarding this uncertainty. Many projects on the drawing board seeking approval this year are now in peril. Financing for many of these projects has been withdrawn or put on hold until this issue is resolved. Job growth and investment in Michigan is being affected. In fact, there are a number of job-creation and community development projects now at risk.
To minimize the negative consequences and uncertainty for the Michigan economy caused by the proposed repeal of the Single Business Tax Act without a replacement and to protect the effectiveness of Michigan's economic development incentives, I urge you to act expeditiously to adopt legislation to:
* Enact a new state law guaranteeing that Single Business Tax employment tax credits authorized under an agreement with the Michigan Economic Growth Authority will be preserved under any successor tax enacted to replace the Single Business Tax;
* Amend the Michigan Renaissance Zone Act to assure that a business that has committed to a Renaissance Zone location will be exempt from any business tax replacing the Single Business Tax to the same extent and duration that the business would have qualified had the Single Business Tax remained in effect; and
* Amend the provisions of Sections 38g and 39c of the Single Business Tax Act relating to brownfield and historic preservation tax credits to extend the date for receiving a certificate of completion of eligible investment allowing a taxpayer to claim a credit on a return for the 2007 tax year.
To assist you in acting quickly to address the negative impact of the proposed repeal of the Single Business Tax and preserve vital economic development and job creation incentives, I have directed the State Treasurer to provide you with proposed language to accomplish these changes before the Legislature reconvenes on Tuesday, June 13, 2006. The Michigan Economic Development Corporation also is available to provide information and answer questions about the important need to make these changes for Michigan's economic development efforts.
Michigan cannot afford to lose any new development project, whether it's the redevelopment of the Book Cadillac Hotel in Detroit or a manufacturing project in West Michigan. I urge you to act with haste to remedy this pressing problem and protect jobs in Michigan.
Finally, while these changes are needed to address the most immediate problems caused by the proposed repeal of the Single Business Tax Act, at a more fundamental level the uncertain business climate only can be addressed by the enactment of a replacement business tax that simplifies businesses taxes, lowers the rate, broadens the base, and replaces revenue currently generated by the Single Business Tax. I urge you to adopt a replacement tax consistent with these objectives before December 31, 2006.
Respectfully,
Jennifer M. Granholm
Governor

The following message from the Governor was received June 12, 2006 and read:
EXECUTIVE ORDER
No. 2006 - 9
RECOGNIZING FLAG DAY AND FLAG MONTH
WHEREAS, Section 1 of Article V of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the Governor;
WHEREAS, on June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted a resolution providing that the "flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field";
WHEREAS, since that time, those stars and stripes have symbolized hope and pride---inspiring in battle, reassuring in times of peace, and comforting during times of grief;
WHEREAS, the flag of the United States is a symbol of national unity that represents the values of liberty, justice, and equality upon which our Republic was founded;
WHEREAS, for more than 200 years, Americans have proudly displayed the flag of the United States at homes, schools, businesses, and government facilities;
WHEREAS, to commemorate the adoption of our national flag, the United States Congress, by a joint resolution approved on August 3, 1949 (63 Stat. 492), designated June 14 of each year as Flag Day;
WHEREAS, under Section 1 of 1998 PA 460, MCL 2.91, June 14 to July 14 of each year is designated as the official flag month of this state;
WHEREAS, Flag Day and Flag Month provide an opportunity to pause and reflect on our flag's rich history and meaning for Americans and people throughout the world;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the laws of the State of Michigan, and the laws of the United States of America, order and proclaim:
1. State departments and agencies are directed to assure appropriate display of the flag of the United States on or near state buildings on Flag Day, Wednesday June 14, 2006, and throughout Flag Month, from Wednesday June 14, 2006 to Friday, July 14, 2006.
2. The People of the State of Michigan are urged to observe Flag Day and Flag Month by flying the flag of the United States from their homes and other suitable places, to honor America and celebrate our national heritage.
3. The handling and displaying the flag of the United States is encouraged according to federal law and the following guidelines established under Section 1 of 1998 PA 460, MCL 2.91:
a. The flag of the United States should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of states or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.
b. When flags of states, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the flag of the United States should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No other flag or pennant should be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag's right.
c. When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they should be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. A flag of one nation should not be placed above the flag of another nation in time of peace.
d. When the flag of the United States is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the windowsill, balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should be placed at the peak of the staff. The flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building.
e. When the flag of the United States is displayed either horizontally or vertically, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right and should be to the observer's left. When displayed in a window, the flag of the United States should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street.

By the Governor:

Secretary of State
The message was referred to the Clerk.
The following message from the Governor was received June 12, 2006 and read:
EXECUTIVE ORDER
No. 2006 - 10
DISPLAYING THE FLAG AT HALF-STAFF AS A MARK OF
RESPECT FOR THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD
WHEREAS, Section 1 of Article V of the Michigan Constitution vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the Governor;
WHEREAS, under Section 12 of Article V of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the Governor is the commander-in-chief of Michigan's armed forces;
WHEREAS, under Section 7 of Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the United States Code, 4 USC 7, by order of the President, the flag of the United States shall be displayed at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States and the governor of a state, territory or possession;
WHEREAS, in the event of the death of other officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at half-staff according to Presidential instructions or orders, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with the law;
WHEREAS, in the event of the death of a present or former official of the government of any state, territory, or possession of the United States, the governor of that state, territory, or possession may proclaim that the flag of the United States shall be displayed at half-staff;
WHEREAS, it is appropriate that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff on state buildings, grounds, and facilities as directed by the President or the Governor;
WHEREAS, it is particularly appropriate that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff throughout the State of Michigan and on Michigan waters as a mark of respect for the memory and in honor of the service of members of our Armed Forces killed in the line of duty;
WHEREAS, it is desirable to provide direction for the uniform observance of this mark of respect to state departments and agencies and guidance to the People of the State of Michigan generally on such occasions;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the laws of the State of Michigan, and the laws of the United States of America, order and proclaim:
I. DISPLAYING THE FLAG AT HALF-STAFF
A. The flag of the United States shall be displayed at half-staff at state buildings, grounds, and facilities, as provided in this Order and as otherwise directed by the Governor.
B. All requests to display the flag at half-staff at state buildings, grounds, and facilities and any questions from state departments or agencies relating to displaying the flag at half-staff shall be directed to the Legal Counsel to the Governor.
C. The Department of Management and Budget shall assist the Office of the Governor with implementing this Order, communicating directions regarding displaying flags at half-staff, and assuring compliance by state departments and agencies.
D. When this Order provides for the flag to be displayed at half-staff on a statewide basis, Michigan residents, businesses, schools, local governments, and other organizations also are urged to display the flag at half-staff.
E. As provided by federal law, when displayed at half-staff, the flag of the United States should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. On Memorial Day the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon only, then raised to the top of the staff.
F. As provided by federal law, no other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States. When flags of states, cities, or localities or pennants of societies are displayed on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the flag of the United States should always be at peak. When flags are displayed from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No flag of a state, city, locality, or pennant of a society may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag's right. When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be displayed from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace. International usage also provides that the flag of another nation should never be displayed at half-staff unless authorized by that nation.
G. As used in this Order, the term "half-staff" means the position of the flag when it is one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff.
II. ANNUAL DAYS TO DISPLAY FLAG AT HALF-STAFF
A. Consistent with federal law, the flag of the United States shall be displayed at half-staff throughout the State of Michigan on the following days each year:
1. Peace Officers Memorial Day, May 15, (36 USC 136, 36 USC 137; Executive Order 2006-7).
2. Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, until noon only (4 USC 7).
3. Patriot Day, September 11 (36 USC 144).
4. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, December 7 (36 USC 129; Executive Order 2005-27).
III. HONORING MEMBERS OF OUR ARMED FORCES
A. Because members of our armed forces voluntarily forego comfort and wealth to face hardships and deployments away from family and loved ones while defending our nation's security, the State of Michigan recognizes the duty, honor, and selfless service of all military personnel and remembers those who have given the ultimate sacrifice by laying down their lives to defend the freedoms the United States of America holds so dear.
B. As recognized under Proclamation 2003-4, issued on December 10, 2003, the flag of the United States shall be displayed at half-staff throughout the State of Michigan on a day designated by the Governor when any of the following occurs.
1. A member of the Michigan National Guard is killed in the line of duty.
2. A member of the Michigan Air National Guard is killed in the line of duty.
