Pastor Etheridge H. Moore, from Heritage Baptist Church in Grand Rapids, offered the following invocation:
“Our Heavenly Father, we thank You for the blessings of life. You are a good and gracious God that daily bestows upon us more than we deserve. We are reminded in Scripture that everything that we have comes from the hand of our Creator for as the Apostle James states in his Epistle, ‘Every good and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning’ (James 1:17).
At this very moment we are obeying a Biblical command in which we are told to pray for all those in authority. Since man was created in the Garden of Eden, there have been three institutions which You, our God instituted. We thank You for the institution of the family; we thank You for the institution of human government; and we thank You for the institution of the Church for which You gave Your Son Jesus Christ to die for and to purchase unto Himself by the giving of His life’s blood. Once again we recognize that these are gifts from Your Hand and we thank You for them.
We would pray that these men and women, who are assembled here in this place today, serving as our Representatives from the great state of Michigan, would have the wisdom needed to deal with the many issues that our State is faced with at this current time. So many families are hurting due to the economic downturn within our State and Nation these past several years; the issue of how to reduce spending and balance the budget weighs heavily upon our hearts; how to raise new revenue without placing a burden upon the families, individuals and businesses of this State are also concerns; the repairing of our roads, bridges, and infrastructure are pressing needs; and dealing with the issues of our school districts are just a few of the many issues and concerns that these Representatives face today. Yes Heavenly Father, they need Your wisdom in how to deal with these issues. I ask that You give them the wisdom needed.
Let our state of Michigan once again become a leading State within our great Nation. Bless our Governor, our Lieutenant Governor, and all those that serve our State in an elected capacity. Keep those that serve safe. Bless their families as well.
In the Name of Jesus Christ Your Son we ask these things, Amen.”

Whereas, The informed use of credit and other financial products and services benefits individual consumers and promotes economic growth; and
Whereas, Financial literacy and learning these skills at an early age encourages greater economic self-sufficiency, higher levels of successful homeownership, and enhanced retirement security, particularly among low- and moderate-income citizens; and
Whereas, The past decade has seen declining personal savings rates, increased bankruptcy filings, soaring home foreclosures, and rising percentages of family income devoted to servicing household debt; and
Whereas, Given the current economic conditions facing Michigan, personal financial education and money management skills are crucial to ensure that our young people are prepared to manage credit and debt and become responsible workers, heads of households, homeowners, investors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and productive citizens; and
Whereas, The young people of our state represent the nation’s single greatest resource who, in the years ahead, will assume leadership positions and responsibility for advancement of our society; and

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2011 as Youth Financial Literacy Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Michigan is home to the highest concentration of Arab-Americans in the United States; and
Whereas, The Arab-American community of southeastern Michigan is known for its diversity, institutional leadership, and cultural outreach and is widely considered a center of Arab-American culture in the United States; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 2011 as Arab-American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That we recognize the great contribution to science, academics, medicine, education, business, and social justice that the Arab-American community of Michigan has made throughout the entire state.

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
I voted no on SCR 9 because I have serious concerns about the constitutionality of this resolution. While the Michigan Constitution, art. XI, § 5, allows the legislature to reduce or reject increases in rates of compensation authorized by the Civil Service Commission, such increases must be transmitted to the legislature as part of the Governor’s budget. Although the Governor mentioned the action in a letter to the legislature in his budget presentation, he did not include a rate of compensation increase in his budget for this benefit. In fact, Mitch Bean from House Fiscal Agency testified at the committee hearing on this resolution that the Governor did not include such an increase in his budget. Therefore, there is no increase to reject at this time, and for that reason I voted ‘no’ on SCR 9 today.”
