Reports of Standing Committees
The Speaker laid before the House
House Resolution No. 295.
A resolution to urge the Michigan Department of Agriculture to provide indemnification to producers who need to destroy crops and to increase inspections of products from Ontario in order to prevent the spread of downy mildew.
(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 69, p. 2283.)
(The resolution was reported by the Committee on Agriculture on November 29, with substitute (H-2), consideration of which, under the rules, was postponed until today.)
(For substitute, see House Journal No. 88, p. 2744.)
The question being on the adoption of the proposed substitute (H-2) recommended by the Committee,
The substitute (H-2) was not adopted, a majority of the members present not voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Reps. Schuitmaker and Angerer offered the following substitute (H-3):
Substitute for House Resolution No. 295.
A resolution to urge the Michigan Department of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture to provide indemnification to producers who need to destroy crops and to increase inspections of products in order to prevent the spread of downy mildew, and to provide crop insurance for cucumbers and other cucurbitaceae crops.
Whereas, Agriculture is the second largest industry in Michigan. Michigan's agriculture and food industry generates billions of dollars in economic activity annually and employs more than 727,000 people; and
Whereas, Michigan is the number one producer of pickling cucumbers in the country and a leading producer of fresh cucumbers, squash, and pumpkins. In 2004, the value of these crops was nearly $95 million; and
Whereas, Downy mildew is a serious plant disease infecting cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, and melons. In 2005, Michigan lost 40 percent of its pickling cucumber crop to downy mildew. Statewide costs to prevent downy mildew from infecting healthy crops can exceed $5 million for Michigan's growers of pickling cucumbers alone; and
Whereas, There are current outbreaks of downy mildew in southeast Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario. Ontario has experienced a particularly severe outbreak. Infected products imported from Ontario could spread downy mildew to other regions of Michigan; and
Whereas, Downy mildew is truly a state, national, and international problem that should be addressed by all levels of government; and
Whereas, The United States Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency has refused to offer Michigan farmers crop insurance for cucumbers and other cucurbitaceae crops; and
Whereas, One strategy to prevent the spread of downy mildew is to till up infected crops and spray fields with fungicide. A single infected field can release thousands of fungal spores into the wind, potentially infecting other Michigan farms as well as farms in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Ontario. However, farmers may be reluctant to take timely action for the good of the entire farming industry at a significant individual loss; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Michigan Department of Agriculture and the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture to provide indemnification to producers who need to destroy crops and to increase inspections of products in order to prevent the spread of downy mildew; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the United States Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency to make crop insurance available to Michigan farmers for cucumbers and other cucurbitaceae crops; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture, the Michigan Commission of Agriculture, the President of the United States, the Secretary of the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The motion prevailed and the substitute (H-3) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
______
Rep. Pastor moved that Reps. Gaffney and Shaffer be excused temporarily from today's session.

The Committee on Natural Resources, Great Lakes, Land Use, and Environment, by Rep. Palsrok, Chair, reported
House Resolution No. 288.
A resolution to memorialize Congress to increase funding to dredge Michigan's deep-draft Great Lakes ports and waterways.
(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 69, p. 2279.)
With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-2) be adopted and that the resolution then be adopted.
Substitute for House Resolution No. 288.
A resolution to memorialize Congress to increase funding to dredge Michigan's deep-draft Great Lakes ports and waterways.
Whereas, Michigan is home to 40 deep-draft commercial ports on the Great Lakes, more than the other seven GreatLakes states combined; and
Whereas, In a typical year, these ports will handle in excess of 90 million tons of cargo, representing more than 50percent of all the cargo moving on the Lakes, and the equivalent of 10 tons for each Michigan resident. The ports of Calcite, Cedarville, Drummond Island, Port Inland, and Presque Isle typically ship nearly 70 percent of the limestone moving on the Great Lakes. The ports of Marquette and Escanaba account for more than 20 percent of the Lakes' iron ore trade. The ports of Alpena and Charlevoix are the primary source of cement carried on the Great Lakes; and
Whereas, This waterborne commerce generates tens of thousands of family-sustaining jobs in Michigan and supports the state economy. For example, Michigan's steel and construction industries depend on Great Lakes shipping to deliver efficiently millions of tons of raw materials they need each year; and
Whereas, The U.S. Department of Transportation is promoting Short Sea Shipping--commercial waterborne transportation along the inland and coastal waterways--as a means of easing congestion on the nation's crowded highways and railbeds; and
Whereas, Compared to other transportation modes, waterborne commerce provides environmental benefits, including fuel savings and fewer emissions. In addition, the efficiencies of waterborne commerce enable Michigan utilities to use cleaner-burning low-sulfur coal loaded in Wisconsin and shipped on the Great Lakes; and
Whereas, Michigan's deep-draft Great Lakes ports and waterways are long overdue for needed dredging to deepen them. For example, while currently under way, it had been 23 years since the Saginaw River turning basin was last dredged; and
Whereas, Michigan's economy is not reaping the full benefits of Great Lakes shipping due to the lack of necessary dredging. Ships cannot carry full loads and offer customers the best freight rates. The largest vessels delivering low-sulfur coal to Michigan are leaving behind as much as 4,500 tons each trip. Shortfalls in deliveries of iron ore, limestone, cement, and other cargos hamper Michigan employers' ability to compete; and
Whereas, The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' budget for dredging Great Lakes ports and waterways has been inadequate for decades. This is true even though cargo is assessed a federal tax to fund dredging and the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund has a surplus of nearly $2 billion; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize Congress to increase federal funding for dredging Michigan's Great Lakes deep-draft ports and waterways, using surplus monies from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge Congress to direct the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to clear the backlog of dredging projects at Michigan's ports and waterways and to then maintain those harbors and channels to project depth in the future; 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The resolution and substitute were laid over one day under the rules.

Rep. Cushingberry, 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:
Happy Holidays to Michigan families struggling to survive. The outgoing House leadership continues it's assault on the poor. This bill presented to us within the past several hours has not been reviewed thoroughly and the substitute requires more than the cursory deliberation afforded members today.
In the budget process we learned there are really no 'able bodied' slothfully in receipt of our meager welfare benefits. Persons who are disabled, mentally and physically not covered in the myriad of other programs and families with children are who this is bill affects. This is not a requirement of any Federal law since the Governor's JET program is not truly implemented and it should be given an opportunity to succeed. We need to take more time and carefully review such a drastic change in policy, especially since the national policy continues to ship jobs overseas.
Earlier this year we passed further earned income tax credits for the working poor but this bill seems to fly against that positive development. The 67% income disregard could end up lowering the amount of income disregarded for those who need it the most (i.e. earn least, for example working mothers, those just transitioning back into the work force etc.).
This form of operation is the worst way to legislate, because it denigrates the appropriations process, and continues to weaken the committee system, a time honored and well proven tradition of the Michigan Legislature."
Rep. Ward moved that the bill be given immediate effect.
The question being on the motion made by Rep. Ward,
Rep. Sak demanded the yeas and nays.
