Father, we give You thanks for this day that You have given to us. I thank You, Father, for this body of believers that they would come to You as people designated to lead this state. I pray, God, that You would help them in their deliberations, discussions, and all manners of business. May they seek You out, and may Your wisdom be prevalent in all the matters before them. I pray, God, that man’s wisdom would not stand forth, but Your principles would.

Father, I pray that You would anoint and bless this time together. In the name of Jesus I ask these things. Amen.

I would like to welcome Matt Brady to my side. Matt has been an intern in my office for about a year now, and it is with great pleasure that we recognize him for his semester of dedication and commitment to the Michigan State Senate. I am pleased to offer my congratulations to Matt for his exceptional work ethic, as he worked tirelessly for the constituents of the 25th District.

Matt is currently finishing his junior year at Michigan State University, where he is studying political science with a pre-law focus. He came to my office through the Michigan Government Semester Program. By participating in this program, he was able to take classes on state government and learn about it firsthand with an internship in my office. There he did everything from fielding phone calls to casework to researching legislation. He has been an asset to the Michigan Senate and the constituents of the 25th Senate District.

Matt is now taking the next step in his career with a summer internship at Truscott Rossman. It is difficult to see him go, but I know that he will be as much an asset there as he was for my district. Thank you, Matt, for your service, and I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

I have the privilege today to recognize Caroline Elizabeth Liethen who has been working for a number of years for the Senate and the House. I was lucky enough to get her after she was very experienced. In spite of having her work for my friend Jud Gilbert, she quickly recovered from that.

We are saying goodbye to her as she is going to a higher-paying job with the Department of Education; also a more responsible job. She represents the tenth person in my office of a four-person staff who has done this. I am proud of her and the fact that she still will be with us helping the citizens of Michigan.

A lot of this is in a Special Tribute that I am not going to read. If you are interested in reading the tribute, you are all invited to Caroline’s house for breakfast tomorrow morning. Caroline, I thank you and I know the rest of my staff is proud of you and wishes you well.

This is her last day, so I would ask you to help me show her our appreciation for all of her hard work.

Senator Bieda’s statement is as follows:

Today is a bittersweet day for me. I would like to commend and thank Spencer Tobias who has been working in my office as an intern for a second time. He has been doing a wonderful job.
