Pastor Mark Buhr, Pastor of First Baptist Church in Gibraltar, offered the following invocation:

Lord, we are grateful for this great nation in which You have given us the privilege to live and work and raise our families. We are thankful for the freedoms we enjoy, recognizing that many across this globe do not enjoy those same freedoms—freedom of speech, freedom of press, the freedom to worship as we see fit, the freedom to vote, the freedom to petition our government, and so many more freedoms that we take for granted every day. We thank You for the men and women who have dedicated their lives to serve this great nation. I stand before a group of them today and Lord, I ask that You grant them wisdom as they govern.

I pray that these men and women would elevate principle over politics and the greater good over personal preference. Ever mindful that they serve their constituents, may they serve with integrity, wisdom and caution. May their outlook be bright for the future of our nation and this great state of Michigan.

Lord, we consider these men and women honorable for their service. May their lives, their words and their actions be honorable, both within these chamber walls and outside of them as well. Help them to recognize that their actions here today and throughout their terms of service will affect millions of individuals. May they never lose sight of the personal impact their votes will have across this state. May they therefore weigh each vote, never being frivolous or hasty. May their actions serve to stabilize and improve our economy; to advance our education and innovation; to preserve our natural resources; to provide for the health and safety of our citizenry; to provide and preserve a climate for strong businesses, both large and small; to protect those inalienable rights which our forefathers recognized—the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Lord, may the duly elected representatives in this place never lose sight of the people whom they represent.

Thank You for each of them. We are well aware that each person in these chambers is an individual with his or her own personal trials, whether it is family trials or personal health concerns or public humiliation. Some here today are struggling with failing health; some have lost loved ones and friends; some are struggling with their personal finances; some are suffering from personal attacks, many unjustified and slanderous. They have put themselves in harm’s way and I ask that You would protect them. Give them grace for the trials that they face. Grant them good health as You see fit. Teach them lessons that You desire for them and make them stronger because of the trials. I ask that each person here today would trust in You daily, recognizing that, in all things, You are at work for their good.

Now, Lord, bless these chambers today. May the time be used efficiently and effectively. God, please bless this nation and this state. God, please bless these individuals.

I pray this, knowing that we have access to Your throne because of Your Son, and knowing that You hear our prayers and it pleases You to answer our prayers.

Amen.”

House Resolution No. 289.

A resolution to commemorate the 68th Anniversary of D-Day and all of the Allied forces who fought along the beaches of Normandy so that Europe might be free from the bonds of tyranny and oppression.

Whereas, On June 6, 1944, approximately 150,000 Allied troops landed along a heavily-fortified stretch of French coastline, seeking to breach Fortress Europe and strike a crucial blow against the fascism of Nazi Germany; and

Whereas, More than 5,000 ships and 11,000 aircraft supported the invasion, making D-Day the largest air, land, and sea operation ever undertaken; and

Whereas, These soldiers, many of whom were not yet even 20 years old, faced a daunting and perilous task, as they fought through the ocean surf, braving artillery shells and machine gun fire with little to no natural cover to protect against enemy guns; and

Whereas, Allied forces suffered more than 10,000 casualties that day, with more than 4,000 Allied soldiers making the ultimate sacrifice, laying down their lives on the beachheads of France in the name of liberty; and

Whereas, Many sons of America were laid to rest in the graveyards of Europe, young lives cut short before their time, brave and valiant men sacrificing the promise of their lifetime to lay footprints on the sands of Normandy, thousands of miles from their homes; and

Whereas, Those brave men who waged battle on the Normandy coast represent the best of mankind, embodying a love of country, a dedication to humanity, and, above all else, a profound and steadfast devotion to the causes of liberty and freedom; and

Whereas, All those American soldiers who lost their lives and shed their blood on that fateful day are testaments to America’s enduring promise to forever stand tall against tyrannical governments, to always protect and defend democracy, and to never forget that our nation, and all great nations, were built upon the principles of freedom; and

Whereas, We must ever and always remember and honor the men who fought and died on that day, both those who returned home as heroes, husbands, and fathers, and also those whom history called to their final breath on Norman sands; and

Whereas, Michiganders, realizing full well that words ring hollow in honoring the bravery, valiance, and courage of these men, seek to honor their memories; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 68th Anniversary of D-Day and all of the Allied forces who fought along the beaches of Normandy so that Europe might be free from the bonds of tyranny and oppression. We encourage all Michiganders to observe the anniversary of D-Day and to forever honor those souls whose eulogy will always be a free and democratic Europe.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Rep. Stamas moved that a respectful message be sent to the Senate requesting the return of Senate Bill No. 1085.

______

Rep. Bledsoe, 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:

Mr. Speaker, I rise to oppose this bill and the unfortunate moral choices it represents.

Last year we slashed many areas of state spending because of our lack of tax revenue. The most painful, to my thinking, were the cuts to aid for the working poor and our schools.

Indeed, I clearly recall giving a floor speech last year regarding the general fund budget in which I read from a letter from Michigan’s Catholic Bishops about how budgets reflect moral priorities. The letter questioned the morality of balancing the state’s budget on the back of the working poor.

Mr. Speaker, as bad as it was to cut the Earned Income Tax Credit last year amid the revenue shortfall, how much more tragic and, yes, cruel it is this year to have the funds to restore those cuts and to turn our backs on the most unfortunate among us. In lieu of restoring the full funding for the Earned Income Tax Credit, we choose to cut taxes. In lieu of restoring more funds to the money slashed from education, we choose to cut taxes. We turn our backs on our least fortunate citizens; we turn our backs on our children and their opportunity for a quality education.

Mr. Speaker, I am convinced that the people of our state are better than that. I am convinced that they, given full information, would prefer to restore the harmful cuts we made last year rather than put a few dollars, and I do mean a few dollars, into their own pockets.

And, I have evidence to support my contention. Every two weeks I send an electronic newsletter to over 3000 recipients, mostly in House District One. It’s a very diverse list, with a broad cross section of my very diverse district.

In my newsletter last week I candidly explained my opposition to a tax cut in favor of restoring full funding for the EITC and a mostly symbolic restoration of some of the money we had cut from education last year, k-16.

Mister Speaker, I received ONE response from a person who said she wanted her tax cut and that I was wrong in my position. Over 3,000 E-newsletters going out, one person who said, in effect, ‘me first’, ‘give me mine before you aid the working poor’ ‘Give me mine before you restore funding cut from our children’s education’ ONE PERSON.

Maybe the people of House District One are exceptional. Maybe they are more caring than other Michiganders. Maybe they have more compassion. Maybe they have a keener appreciation of the value of educating our children.

Alternatively, maybe the people in this chamber under-estimate the citizens of our state and their eagerness to put their narrow self-interest over the interests of our neediest citizens and educating our children.

I think the latter is true. I think our people are better than many of you think they are. I think they are more caring. I think they are more compassionate. I think many of you under-estimate their very humanity, their very decency.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote no on the tragic moral choice reflected by this tax cut.”

Rep. Geiss, 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:

Today, the House voted on what is being sold as a tax break. This is false, and I’ve chosen to point out the falseness of this measure by voting no. You see, last year, the House voted, against my objection, to raise taxes on our seniors via the pension tax. The pension tax is taking thousands of dollars from each of our seniors. The vote today would simply give back 5 cents per day. This is how political headlines are written. Raise taxes, then give pennies back and then you can claim you are fighting for the people. Really? The math does not support this as a true tax break, but simply smoke and mirrors. I, for one, am willing to call this what it truly is: a political stunt, not a tax break.

If we were truly fixing the problem, we would eliminate the pension tax and fully restore the earned income tax credit.”

Rep. Hobbs, 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:

HB 5699 does not offer the tax relief equivalent to what this legislature provided corporations just a year ago. This tax proposal does not go far enough to providing a substantial impact in taxpayers pockets.”

Rep. Stamas moved that the bill be given immediate effect.

Rep. Stapleton moved to amend the bill as follows:

1. Amend page 12, following line 14, by inserting:

“Sec. 16. (1) The constituent local governments have the responsibility, authority, and right to manage and direct on behalf of the public the services performed or exercised to the extent provided in the articles of incorporation creating the authority.

(2) The contents or language of the articles of incorporation under this act shall be a permissive subject of collective bargaining between a local government and a bargaining representative of its employees. If a local government and a bargaining representative of its employees engage in collective bargaining before the articles of incorporation are approved and that local government and that bargaining representative reach an agreement on issues that would obligate an entity that will function as an employer in the authority, the articles of incorporation shall include those obligations.

(3) Nothing in this act creates an employment relationship between the existing employees of a local government and the proposed authority.

(4) An authority is effective through its articles of incorporation at least 180 days before the actual transfer of personnel and equipment. Before the authority’s effective date, the constituent local governments shall affirm in writing to the authority those employees who will be transferred to the authority.

(5) If employees who are transferred to the authority are represented by a labor organization, those employees are subject to their previous terms and conditions of employment until those terms and conditions of employment are modified in accordance with 1947 PA 336, MCL 423.201 to 423.217, or for 6 months after the transfer to the authority, whichever is earlier. Negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement with an authority shall begin no later than 180 days before the date the employees transfer to the authority.

(6) Subject to subsection (7), a representative of the employees or group of employees who previously represented or was entitled to represent the employees or group of employees under 1947 PA 336, MCL 423.201 to 423.217, shall continue to represent the employees or group of employees after those employees or group of employees are transferred to the authority.

(7) This section does not limit the rights of employees, under applicable law, to assert that a bargaining representative protected by subsection (6) is no longer their representative. The employees of the authority are eligible as of the day the authority becomes effective through its articles of incorporation to choose their representative under 1947 PA 336, MCL 423.201 to 423.217. This subsection does not extend the time limits as provided in subsection (4).

(8) If multiple labor organizations assert the right to represent all or part of the authority’s workforce or where a substantial portion of the transferred employees were not previously represented, in the absence of a voluntary mutual agreement, at the request of any party or on the initiative of the Michigan employment relations commission, the Michigan employment relations commission shall conduct a representation election.

(9) In the absence of a voluntary mutual agreement, the authority’s workforce shall be merged by using a single seniority list for each of the same or similar classifications. The single seniority list shall be composed of all employees from each of the constituent local governments employed or having recall rights on the date of transfer and shall be used for purposes that include, but are not limited to, initial assignments, layoffs, recalls, and job bidding. Disputes concerning the single seniority list or use of the single seniority list shall be heard by a single arbitrator appointed by the Michigan employment relations commission.

(10) Nothing in this section requires a local government or an authority to assume a collective bargaining agreement between another local government and its employees.”.
