Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Kennedy, Lindberg, Liss, Ball, Bauer, Terry Brown, Byrnes, Clemente, Constan, Cushingberry, Dillon, Durhal, Geiss, Gonzales, Hansen, Haugh, Rick Jones, Lahti, Leland, Lipton, Lori, Marleau, Meadows, Melton, Miller, Polidori, Roberts, Rocca, Schuitmaker, Sheltrown, Simpson, Spade, Switalski, Valentine and Warren offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 41.
A resolution to urge the state of Michigan to ensure that the economic stimulus funding in Michigan be spent on American-made materials to the greatest extent possible.
Whereas, The economic downturn is having a critical impact on everyday Americans who are struggling to maintain or find jobs in an increasingly difficult environment. Those same Americans are the taxpayers that provide the revenue needed to operate essential government services; and
Whereas, Congress approved and President Obama signed into law a taxpayer-sponsored economic recovery package that will provide billions of dollars to help economically devastated cities and states immediately provide jobs to millions of out-of-work Americans through considerable infrastructure rebuilding, green energy projects, and other initiatives that will require manufactured components. It is critical that these taxpayer dollars should be spent to maximize the creation of American jobs and restoring the economic vitality of our communities; and
Whereas, Any economic recovery plan spending should — to every extent possible — include a commitment to buy materials, goods, and services that are produced in the United States, thus employing the very workers that pay the taxes for the economic plan spending in the first place. Any domestically produced products that are purchased with economic recovery plan monies will immediately help struggling American families and will help stabilize our economy; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we hereby urge the state of Michigan to ensure that the economic stimulus funding in Michigan be spent on American-made materials to the greatest extent possible, to give American workers and producers the opportunity to help maximize the success of our nation’s economic recovery program; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the State of Michigan and the State Budget Director.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Labor.
Reps. Ball, Elsenheimer, Lahti, Amash, Bolger, Gonzales, Haines, Hansen, Horn, Rick Jones, Knollenberg, Lori, Lund, Opsommer, Polidori, Wayne Schmidt, Schuitmaker, Sheltrown and Spade offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 42.
A resolution to express the sense of the legislature that the legislative retirement system needs to be changed to reduce health benefits.
Whereas, As Michigan grapples with serious economic challenges, it is imperative that all areas of public spending be examined in a new light. Amidst financial conditions that are being called by most economists the worst this generation has experienced and possibly the worst since the Great Depression, it is increasingly clear that policies and practices that have been used in the past may no longer be appropriate; and
Whereas, One area that seems ripe for reevaluation is the level of health care benefits extended to former legislators in retirement. With each passing year, as retiree health benefits disappear in the private sector and more and more workers try to plan for a future without a traditional “defined benefits” retirement plan, Michigan’s legislative retirement system becomes farther removed from the realities most of our citizens face; and
Whereas, In the current discussions about crafting Michigan’s budget, it is appropriate to make a commitment to bring substantial changes to the Michigan Legislative Retirement System Act, 1957 PA 261. Specific legislation will be introduced to provide that each year of legislative service earns 5 percent of the health care premium coverage (to a maximum of 70 percent of premium costs for 14 years), with coverage not beginning until the age of 60. When a retiree is eligible for Medicare, the earned health care premium coverage will be applied to the Medicare supplement premium; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express the sense of the legislature that the legislative retirement system needs to be changed to reduce health benefits.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
