Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 281.
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Richard D. Buth, former member of the House of Representatives.
Whereas, It is with great appreciation for his life of service to his community, state, and country that we offer this expression of respect for the memory of Richard D. Buth, a member of the Seventy-seventh Legislature. His legacy of unselfishness and responsibility set a standard of citizenship well known to the people of his West Michigan community and deeply appreciated by all who worked with him; and
Whereas, Richard Buth earned his bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University before his own plans, like so many others, were interrupted by World War II, when he served in the Navy. After returning to civilian life, he continued to serve his fellow citizens as a teacher, farmer, and civic leader, especially in education. His integrity and strong personal sense of duty were evident in everything he did, from his 20 years teaching and coaching at Comstock High School to his service as a trustee in Plainfield Township to his work as a member, and eventually as the chair, of the Kent County Board of Commissioners; and
Whereas, Elected in 1972, Representative Richard Buth carried out his legislative duties with the same diligence he brought to every task before him. His term included service to committees dealing with higher education, urban affairs, retirement, and public safety. Richard Buth’s unselfishness, best known by the family that was the center of his life, clearly served our state well in many ways; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Richard D. Buth, a member of this legislative body from 1973 to 1974; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Buth family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.
______
The Speaker Pro Tempore called Associate Speaker Pro Tempore Espinoza to the Chair.
Messages from the Senate
House Concurrent Resolution No. 49.
A concurrent resolution to urge the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Council to scrutinize carefully the proposed diversion at Waukesha, Wisconsin.
(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 30, p. 407.)
The Senate has substituted (S-1) the concurrent resolution as follows:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 49.
A concurrent resolution to urge the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Council to scrutinize carefully the proposed diversion at Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Whereas, The Great Lakes states ratified the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact to prevent harmful and unnecessary water diversions from the Great Lakes. The compact establishes strict standards and a regional approval process that must be met prior to new diversions from the lakes to communities outside the basin; and
Whereas, The first request to divert water to a community outside the Great Lakes Basin is imminent. The city of Waukesha, Wisconsin, has stated its intention to apply for an 18.5-million-gallon per-day diversion of water from Lake Michigan to meet its current drinking water needs and future economic growth; and
Whereas, There are concerns that the Waukesha proposal may not go far enough to meet the standards required by the compact for approving a diversion. The compact envisions a limited exception for diversions when the public need is great in communities bordering the Great Lakes Basin, and every effort has been made to minimize the need for Great Lakes water, including the implementation of significant water conservation measures. It is not clear if the city of Waukesha proposal truly represents the minimum diversion necessary to meet the city’s needs; and
Whereas, The review of the proposed Waukesha diversion will provide precedent for future water diversion proposals and approvals. The Great Lakes governors represented on the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Council’s interpretation of the compact will set the standard for future diversion proposals and approvals. The council must carefully consider how it will apply the compact standards, particularly what constitutes sufficient water conservation measures and how communities outside the basin account for these water conservation measures and future growth in determining how much water needs to be diverted; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Council to scrutinize carefully the proposed diversion at Waukesha, Wisconsin; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the other Great Lakes states to adopt management measures for new or increased withdrawals that, consistent with Michigan’s water withdrawal process, ensure the proposed withdrawals are reviewed based upon sound science; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Council, the Governor’s Office, and the Office of the Great Lakes.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution as substituted (S-1) and named Senators Anderson, Basham, Birkholz, Brater, Cassis, Cherry, Clark-Coleman, Clarke, Hardiman, Jacobs, Prusi, Richardville and Van Woerkom as co‑sponsors.
The question being on concurring in the substitute (S-1) made to the concurrent resolution by the Senate,
The substitute (S-1) was concurred in.

Whereas, Individuals of Chaldean origin are a culturally rich and complex community representing the Eastern-Rite Catholic, Aramaic speaking, indigenous people of Iraq; and

Whereas, The Chaldean community has benefited the state of Michigan through its rich entrepreneurial spirit, as 61 percent of Chaldean households own at least one business and 39 percent own two or more; and,
Whereas, It is estimated that the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce represents more than 12,000 Chaldean-owned businesses in the state of Michigan; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan is proud of its cultural diversity and welcomes the opportunity to honor and recognize its Chaldean American citizens for their commitment to leadership, dedication to society, and determination to succeed; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 11, 2010, as Chaldean American Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further
