Rev. Brian D. Seifert, Pastor of Cadillac Christian Reformed Church in Cadillac, offered the following invocation:

“Gracious God And giver of all good things. We pause in the morning of this day to say, thank You.

We thank You for things like flowers, buds on trees, and honey bees that do some of Your world’s greatest work. We thank You for rain that nourishes Your earth and the sun that makes things grow. For wildlife and the renewal of life. For spring time after a long cold winter.

We thank You for this good land as our heritage. Help us always to remember Your generosity. We ask that You would continue to bless our land with honest industry, sound learning and an honorable way of life. We ask that You would rid us of violence, discord, oppression, discrimination, and those things that tear at the decency of our society.

We thank You for those who give of themselves for the betterment of the people that this body represents. For those who rush into burning buildings. For those who protect the communities of our great state. For those who respond in emergency rooms. Bless all our community servants with strength to stand in the gap in moments of great need.

We thank You for those who serve to protect our great country. We thank You for the sacrifices of yesterday. We thank You for those who stand today in harm’s way today. We thank You for the generations to come that will seek to live in freedom. May we be mindful of passing on the very best of all that we’ve been given.

We thank You for our families, for our homes, for those that love us and for those that we love. We pray for those that are alone, without homes, and without the basic necessities that all of us take for granted. We ask that You would bring justice and restoration to those that need You.

We even thank You for our enemies. For those who drive us to think deeper, to care more passionately, and to help us see a greater picture beyond ourselves. You have taught us to pray for our enemies and so we do. We ask that love would surround us all. We ask that Your world would once again see and experience the shalom that You originally intended.

Now, O God, we offer our hands, our ears, our eyes, our lips, and our hearts. That we would all work sincerely for those whom we serve. That we would listen to each other with deep care and respect. That we would see where to best put our collective efforts for the wellbeing of others. That we would speak the truth in love. And that our hearts and lives would reflect the greatest love that we’ve been shown in Jesus and that we would be willing to lay down our lives for our fellow brothers and sisters.

We thank You God, and ask all of these things of You because You are so good and so generous. And all of God’s people say... Amen!”

House Resolution No. 378.

A resolution to urge all Michigan citizens to observe Memorial Day and to recognize and contemplate the true spirit of the holiday by remembering those brave and courageous souls who have laid down their lives in defense of our nation.

Whereas, Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day traces its origins back to the 19th century, when groups throughout the nation gathered to honor those who had lost their lives in battle by decorating their gravesites with flowers; and

Whereas, After the conclusion of the Civil War, General John Logan issued General Order 11, which proclaimed that May 30, 1868, should be “designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land”; and

Whereas, While General Logan proclaimed the observance should proceed annually for so long as a “survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades,” Memorial Day eventually became part of the national consciousness, growing from honoring only those who died during the Civil War to encompassing all soldiers who sacrificed their lives in service to our nation; and

Whereas, When Congress declared Memorial Day to be a national holiday in 1971, it also moved the date of observance from the traditional May 30th established under General Logan’s order to the last Monday in May, so that Americans could observe and enjoy a three-day holiday weekend; and

Whereas, We must now remember that Memorial Day is more than a holiday marked by picnics and parades, barbecues and baseball games. Instead, we must always remember that this is a day to remember those souls who gave, in the words of Lincoln, “the last full measure of devotion”; and

Whereas, Knowing full well that a single day is hardly enough to honor the memory of the men and women who have sacrificed their lives on foreign soil, and who took their final footsteps in faraway lands from Verdun and Normandy to Da Nang and Fallujah, we pause to celebrate their eternal legacy of valor and to reflect on the debt we owe to these patriots, who died so that freedom might always be an American birthright; and

Whereas, The blood that brave and valiant soldiers shed on distant beaches and bulkheads, and on foreign sands and shores has given us the liberty that is the very lifeblood of this Republic and the cornerstone of human history; and

Whereas, Each young life given in defense of our nation has helped other nations to cast off the shackles of oppression and tyranny, and to bring the sacred light of freedom and liberty to the furthermost reaches of the globe; and

Whereas, Each soldier who sacrificed their life long before their time did not go to battle in order to seek fame or glory nor did they set out yearning to be a hero. Rather, they simply heeded a call that only the bravest amongst us have answered and paid the ultimate price for, a cause far greater than themselves, a cause that will forever be reflected in our vigilance in the face of tyranny and foreign aggression; and

Whereas, We must not only honor the sacrifice of the men and women who laid down their lives, but also the families who lost mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, and who suffered the grief and sadness of distance and death with quiet dignity and pride; and

Whereas, We need not lay garlands on the gravesites of our fallen heroes today, but as we spend time with family and friends this Memorial Day weekend, we must be mindful to never forsake the memory of those whose time with family and friends was cut too short in service to our nation; and

Whereas, As we commemorate those heroes who have died for our democratic ideals, we must also make this Memorial Day a time of prayer, a time to ask the Almighty for a permanent and prosperous peace, so that future generations of Americans, secure in and grateful for their freedom, might never know the horrific toll of war and the terrible tragedies of battle; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body urge all Michigan citizens to observe Memorial Day and to recognize and contemplate the true spirit of the holiday by remembering those brave and courageous souls who have laid down their lives in defense of our nation.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Muxlow, Kelly, Lyons, Heise, Kivela, Lauwers, Brown, Daley, Pagel, Barnett, Cotter, Crawford, Darany, Denby, Driskell, Geiss, Hooker and LaVoy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 379.

A resolution to urge the Great Lakes Commission to study and take a formal position on the proposed underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario, Canada and to study the potential impacts of this facility and similar facilities on the Great Lakes and on the people that depend on the lakes.

Whereas, The Great Lakes Commission is a public agency established by the Great Lakes Basin Compact in 1955 to speak as a unified voice for the Great Lakes states and provinces in their mission for a healthy and vibrant Great Lakes region. The Commission takes positions on issues of regional importance. These science-based positions are built on collaboration with others and encourage regional economic prosperity and environmental protection; and

Whereas, The proposal by Ontario Power Generation to construct an underground, long-term burial facility for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, which is less than a mile from the shore of Lake Huron, is a regionally important issue. Placing a permanent nuclear waste burial facility so close to the Great Lakes shoreline is a matter of serious concern for the inhabitants of the Great Lakes states and provinces. A leak or breach of radioactivity from this waste facility could damage the ecology of the lakes. Tens of millions of United States and Canadian citizens depend on the lakes for drinking water, fisheries, tourism, recreation, and other industrial and economic uses; and

Whereas, We are concerned about this proposed radioactive waste facility and the siting of any such facility so near the Great Lakes. Under Michigan’s Constitution, it is the duty of the legislative branch of government to protect the state’s natural resources in the interest of the public health, safety, and welfare of Michigan’s citizens; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Great Lakes Commission to study and take a formal position on the proposed underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario, Canada and to the potential impacts of this facility and similar facilities on the Great Lakes and on the people that depend on the lakes; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Board of Directors and Executive Director of the Great Lakes Commission, the members of the Michigan delegation to the Great Lakes Commission, and the commissioners of the International Joint Commission.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.

Reps. Muxlow, Kelly, Lyons, Heise, Kivela, Lauwers, Brown, Daley, Pagel, Barnett, Cotter, Crawford, Darany, Denby, Driskell, Geiss, Hooker and LaVoy offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 380.

A resolution urging the United States President, the Secretary of State, and the United States Congress to invoke the participation of the International Joint Commission under Article IX, Article X, or both of the Boundary Waters Treaty to evaluate the proposed underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario, Canada and similar facilities.

Whereas, Ontario Power Generation is proposing to construct an underground, long-term burial facility for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station. This site is less than a mile inland from the shore of Lake Huron; and

Whereas, Placing a permanent nuclear waste burial facility so close to the Great Lakes shoreline is a matter of serious concern for the inhabitants of the Great Lakes states and provinces. A leak or breach of radioactivity from this waste facility could damage the ecology of the lakes. Tens of millions of United States and Canadian citizens depend on the lakes for drinking water, fisheries, tourism, recreation, and other industrial and economic uses; and

Whereas, Michigan recognizes the duty of the legislative branch of government to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of its citizens and the state’s natural resources. Article IV, Section 50, of the Michigan Constitution authorizes the Legislature to regulate atomic energy in view of the safety and general welfare of the people. Article IV, Section 51, declares that the public health and general welfare of the people of the state are matters of primary public concern, while Article IV, Section 52, requires the Legislature to provide for the protection of the air, water, and other natural resources of the state from pollution, impairment, and destruction; and

Whereas, The Michigan Legislature has recognized the inherent dangers of siting a radioactive waste storage facility near the shores of the Great Lakes. Under Public Act 204 of 1987, the final siting criteria for a radioactive waste facility containing the same types of waste as would be stored at the proposed Ontario repository includes a prohibition on siting it within 10 miles of one of the Great Lakes, the Saint Mary’s River, Detroit River, St. Clair River, or Lake St. Clair; and

Whereas, The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) is a binational agreement to address critical environmental health issues in the Great Lakes region with the overall purpose of restoring and maintaining the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Great Lakes. Article 6 of the GLWQA acknowledges the importance of anticipating, preventing, and responding to threats to the Great Lakes and recognizes that a nuclear waste facility sited close to the Great Lakes shoreline could lead to a pollution incident or could have a significant cumulative impact on the waters of the Great Lakes; and

Whereas, The 1909 Boundary Waters Treaty recognizes the immense importance of the Great Lakes as a shared resource between the United States and Canada. The wisdom of the Treaty drafters is reflected in the creation of the International Joint Commission (IJC), composed of three members from the United States and three members from Canada, to act as impartial watchdogs over the boundary waters between the countries. Under Article IX of the Treaty, questions or matters of difference between the countries involving their rights, obligations, or interests along their common frontier may be referred to the IJC for examination and report, upon the request of either country. Under Article X, the IJC may be asked to make a binding decision on an issue of difference between the two countries, upon the consent and referral by both the United States and Canada; and

Whereas, The IJC has frequently been asked to weigh in on major topics of concern to the Great Lakes region. In 1912, a few years after the Treaty’s ratification, the IJC was asked to examine and report on the extent, causes, and location of pollution in the boundary waters and to recommend remedies and pollution prevention strategies. In 1999, the IJC was asked to study the international export of bulk supplies of Great Lakes water. The IJC provides an objective and international forum to study Great Lakes issues that affect both countries; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States President, the Secretary of State, and the United States Congress to invoke the participation of the International Joint Commission under Article IX, Article X, or both of the Boundary Waters Treaty to evaluate the proposed underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario, Canada and similar facilities; and be it further

Resolved, That we urge the other Great Lakes states and Canadian provinces to adopt appropriate regulations to protect the Great Lakes region from radioactive waste and to petition their respective federal governments to engage the IJC under Article IX, Article X, or both of the Boundary Waters Treaty to evaluate the proposed underground nuclear waste repository in Ontario, Canada and similar facilities; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the United States Secretary of State, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the governors or premiers and the legislative majority leaders in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ontario, and Quebec.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 29.

______

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:

I voted no on the package of bills that dealt with the Detroit Bankruptcy due to the following reasons:

1) Governor Snyder violated the Michigan Constitution by filling for bankruptcy for the City of Detroit.

2) The Detroit Police and Fire Pension system has lost over $40 million in a failed Hazardous Waste Deep Disposal Well in Romulus, Michigan.

Article IX, Section 24 of the Michigan Constitution contains clear language on Public pension plans and retirement systems.

‘The accrued financial benefits of each pension plan and retirement system of the state and its political subdivisions shall be a contractual obligation thereof which shall not be diminished or impaired thereby.

Financial benefits arising on account of service rendered in each fiscal year shall be funded during that year and such funding shall not be used for financing unfunded accrued liabilities.’

By taking Detroit into Bankruptcy, the Governor violated the Constitution he was sworn to uphold.

In addition, I attempted to have an amendment added to HB5570 which would have ended the failed investment of the Detroit Police and Fire Pension Board in the Hazardous Waste Deep Disposal Well located in Romulus, Michigan. After working with the Governor’s office for four months, talking with the Mayor of Detroit, Detroit Council Members, and my colleagues, my amendment to restrict any future investment in the hazardous well was gaveled down by the Speaker without any vote of the members.

For over 20 years, my communities of Romulus and Taylor have spent millions of dollars fighting the Detroit Police and Fire Pension System and their attempts to inject dangerous chemicals below our homes. This failed investment represents 25% of the money the State is sending to Detroit in this package of bills.

If we are to move forward as a region, these wells must be closed down.

My amendment would have done just that:

Please see the following for modifications to the amendment:

1. Amend page 13, following line 2, by inserting:

‘(14) SUBJECT TO SECTION 13G, AN INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY OF A LARGE SPONSORED SYSTEM THAT INVESTS OR HAS INVESTED IN A HAZARDOUS WASTE DEEP DISPOSAL WELL, REGULATED UNDER CHAPTER 3 OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.11101 TO 324.12117, IS SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

(A) THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL NOT MAKE ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS IN THE FACILITY.

(B) IF THE TITLE OF THE FACILITY REVERTS TO THE LARGE SPONSORED SYSTEM, THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL ASSURE THAT THE FACILITY IS PROPERLY CLOSED, PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE STATUTES, AND SHALL NOT SELL THE FACILITY OR PROPERTY ON WHICH IT IS LOCATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF BEING A HAZARDOUS WASTE DEEP DISPOSAL WELL.

(C) IF A LARGE SPONSORED SYSTEM IS A MORTGAGEE OF A HAZARDOUS WASTE DEEP DISPOSAL WELL FACILITY OR THE PROPERTY ON WHICH ONE IS LOCATED, AND THE MORTGAGOR DEFAULTS ON THE MORTGAGE, UNDER THE TERMS OF THE MORTGAGE OR RELATED LOAN, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING APPLY:

(i) THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL NOT MODIFY THE TERMS OF THE MORTGAGE.

(ii) THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL STRICTLY ENFORCE ITS REMEDIES UNDER THE UNDERLYING LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING THE OBLIGATION TO INSTITUTE A FORECLOSURE ACTION ON THE MORTGAGE.

(D) IF A LARGE SPONSORED SYSTEM IS A MORTGAGEE OF A HAZARDOUS WASTE DEEP DISPOSAL WELL FACILITY, THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL NOT AGREE TO THE MORTGAGOR’S ASSIGNING ITS INTEREST TO ANOTHER PARTY.

(E) THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE AND THE STATE TREASURER HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO ENFORCE AND ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THIS SECTION.

(F) THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS EVIDENCING COMPLIANCE WITH THIS SECTION TO THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE AND THE STATE TREASURER UNTIL THE THE EARLIER OF THE FOLLOWING:

(i) REPAYMENT IN FULL OF THE LOAN SECURED BY THE MORTGAGE.

(ii) THE PROPERTY IS DISPOSED OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SUBSECTION.’”

The question being on agreeing to the title of the bill,

Rep. Stamas moved to amend the title to read as follows:

A bill to create the Michigan financial review commission act; to provide for the operation of certain commissions; to create funds and accounts; to prescribe the powers and duties of certain commissions, the state treasurer, certain other state officials and state employees, and certain local officials; to provide for the dissolution of certain commissions; and to make certain appropriations.

______

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:

I voted no on the package of bills that dealt with the Detroit Bankruptcy due to the following reasons:

1) Governor Snyder violated the Michigan Constitution by filling for bankruptcy for the City of Detroit.

2) The Detroit Police and Fire Pension system has lost over $40 million in a failed Hazardous Waste Deep Disposal Well in Romulus, Michigan.

Article IX, Section 24 of the Michigan Constitution contains clear language on Public pension plans and retirement systems.

‘The accrued financial benefits of each pension plan and retirement system of the state and its political subdivisions shall be a contractual obligation thereof which shall not be diminished or impaired thereby.

Financial benefits arising on account of service rendered in each fiscal year shall be funded during that year and such funding shall not be used for financing unfunded accrued liabilities.’

By taking Detroit into Bankruptcy, the Governor violated the Constitution he was sworn to uphold.

In addition, I attempted to have an amendment added to HB5570 which would have ended the failed investment of the Detroit Police and Fire Pension Board in the Hazardous Waste Deep Disposal Well located in Romulus, Michigan. After working with the Governor’s office for four months, talking with the Mayor of Detroit, Detroit Council Members, and my colleagues, my amendment to restrict any future investment in the hazardous well was gaveled down by the Speaker without any vote of the members.

For over 20 years, my communities of Romulus and Taylor have spent millions of dollars fighting the Detroit Police and Fire Pension System and their attempts to inject dangerous chemicals below our homes. This failed investment represents 25% of the money the State is sending to Detroit in this package of bills.

If we are to move forward as a region, these wells must be closed down.

My amendment would have done just that:

Please see the following for modifications to the amendment:

1. Amend page 13, following line 2, by inserting:

‘(14) SUBJECT TO SECTION 13G, AN INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY OF A LARGE SPONSORED SYSTEM THAT INVESTS OR HAS INVESTED IN A HAZARDOUS WASTE DEEP DISPOSAL WELL, REGULATED UNDER CHAPTER 3 OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.11101 TO 324.12117, IS SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

(A) THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL NOT MAKE ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS IN THE FACILITY.

(B) IF THE TITLE OF THE FACILITY REVERTS TO THE LARGE SPONSORED SYSTEM, THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL ASSURE THAT THE FACILITY IS PROPERLY CLOSED, PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE STATUTES, AND SHALL NOT SELL THE FACILITY OR PROPERTY ON WHICH IT IS LOCATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF BEING A HAZARDOUS WASTE DEEP DISPOSAL WELL.

(C) IF A LARGE SPONSORED SYSTEM IS A MORTGAGEE OF A HAZARDOUS WASTE DEEP DISPOSAL WELL FACILITY OR THE PROPERTY ON WHICH ONE IS LOCATED, AND THE MORTGAGOR DEFAULTS ON THE MORTGAGE, UNDER THE TERMS OF THE MORTGAGE OR RELATED LOAN, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING APPLY:

(i) THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL NOT MODIFY THE TERMS OF THE MORTGAGE.

(ii) THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL STRICTLY ENFORCE ITS REMEDIES UNDER THE UNDERLYING LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING THE OBLIGATION TO INSTITUTE A FORECLOSURE ACTION ON THE MORTGAGE.

(D) IF A LARGE SPONSORED SYSTEM IS A MORTGAGEE OF A HAZARDOUS WASTE DEEP DISPOSAL WELL FACILITY, THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL NOT AGREE TO THE MORTGAGOR’S ASSIGNING ITS INTEREST TO ANOTHER PARTY.

(E) THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE AND THE STATE TREASURER HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO ENFORCE AND ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THIS SECTION.

(F) THE INVESTMENT FIDUCIARY SHALL PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS EVIDENCING COMPLIANCE WITH THIS SECTION TO THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE AND THE STATE TREASURER UNTIL THE THE EARLIER OF THE FOLLOWING:

(i) REPAYMENT IN FULL OF THE LOAN SECURED BY THE MORTGAGE.

(ii) THE PROPERTY IS DISPOSED OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SUBSECTION.’”

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
