Rev. Michael Stahl, Pastor of Trinity-St. James Lutheran Church in Munger, offered the following invocation:

“Heavenly Father,

In 1 Timothy, chapter 2, You tell us through the Apostle Paul, ‘I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all people.’

And so, Lord, I ask You to behold Your children here today: men and women who have answered the call to serve others through their work here in the Michigan House of Representatives. Thank You for them and the work they do. Be with them now as they start this session.

I ask You to grace them with wisdom as they discuss the various issues before them in order that they make the decisions You want them to make. I ask You to be present in their conversations that all manner of speech be wholesome and in line with Your Word. I ask You to give them understanding and patience on any issues of disagreement so that they may be able not just to hear one another, but listen to what is being said.

I ask You to grace them peace in this busy season of life that they may be able to focus on the birth of Your Son, Jesus.

I ask You to be with them and their families, that they may know each other as fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters with whom they are able to have quality time, even as they work for countless others in this great state.

Once again, Lord, behold Your children. Once again, Lord, thank You for them. It’s in the name of Jesus I pray this. Amen.”

Comments and Recommendations

Rep. Stamas moved that the following remarks be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Rep. Kowall:

“Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3 says it best-‘To everything there is a season’ and my season in the Michigan House of Representatives is apparently coming to an end. It doesn’t seem quite possible. Just yesterday, I was one of the fresh-faced newbies entering this chamber. As everyone advised me it would, the time has flown by. I have watched as others before me gave their farewell speeches and knew that someday it would be my turn. It just doesn’t seem quite real when the day actually arrives though. You are part of a process, part of ‘this world’ one minute and the next minute you’re not! And you’re not quite the same person you were when you first arrived. Perhaps AMC’s show The Walking Dead should have a special series based on termed-out legislators.

Were it not for term limits, I might not have had the opportunity to serve and I am eternally grateful and honored for the privilege of spending six years in Michigan’s House. I had the privilege of working with 109 people from all over the state and from every walk of life-so many different personalities and a whole cast of characters. Just look around this chamber, if you don’t believe me. We share in common, though, that we all want what’s best for Michigan, and we just disagree about what that is and how to make it happen.

It’s hard to describe what my six years here have been like. How do you possibly sum it up? While it went by with lightning speed, there were those long sessions that started at 10:00am one morning and went until about 6:00am the next. Time seemed to stand still then.

I tell people that you never know what issues you’ll be dealing with after you’re elected. I never, ever could have predicted I’d be voting on feral swine or bear petting ranches. Also, there are more than two sides to any given issue - there’s more like 6 or 7. And at times it seemed like we had so many issues coming at us, it was difficult not to be a mile wide and an inch deep. As John Walsh said when I got on the elevator with him our first term, ‘I’ve been in eight meetings in a row, and not one of them has had anything to do the meeting before it or after it.’ If you don’t have ADHD when you get to Lansing, you will develop it soon!

I have to admit to getting a little frustrated sometimes, trying to convince 55 other representatives and 20 senators and a governor that the legislation I was trying to pass was the greatest thing ever. There’s no such thing as a no-brainer in this town. At one point, I decided I was going to skip over everybody and run for empress of the universe. My campaign slogan was, ‘I promise to be benevolent…at first.’ Well, you can see how far I got with that idea. I finally realized, as Rep. Denby mentioned in her speech, that perhaps legislation is meant to be difficult for a good reason.

Overall, though, my time here has been challenging, exciting, and exhilarating. As I was knocking doors in 2008 when I first ran for the House, people were saying that as bad as things were in our state, there didn’t seem to be any sense of urgency in Lansing. ‘Why weren’t we responding to the crisis we were in?’ And, ‘Why isn’t there some kind of long range plan for Michigan?’ Then along came Governor Snyder with his relentless positive action, reinventing Michigan, and working in dog years. His message of ‘not wasting time pointing fingers of blame or looking in the rearview mirror, just let’s move forward and find solutions’ really resonated with me. It’s been a whirlwind, tumultuous four years, but as the Lansing pundits will say, we’ve accomplished more in four years than the previous decade or so. I will always look back on these four years with great satisfaction. It has been a great time to serve and I am honored and humbled to have played a part in so many positive, generation changes in our state.

Out of all the experiences over the last 6 years, a few stand out. The first one was legislative. I was born and raised in Detroit, and I had been frustrated and brokenhearted for so many years over what had become of the city. The way the Detroit Settlement came together was nothing short of a miracle. I will always remember the day we voted out the bill package. I had goose bumps all day, realizing the historic moment that was taking place. Rep. John Walsh did a masterful job of bringing the legislation together and the applause that followed after the last bill was voted on was affirmation of his efforts, and Tommy Stallworth’s and so many others that went into putting all the moving parts together.

Although there were many humorous experiences, one in particular stands out. It seems that I had unwittingly decided to go Goth one day. Thank God for Matt Lori! I showed up at Appropriations and was preparing to take my seat when he looked at me and said, ‘Eileen there’s something wrong with your lipstick. It’s black. Maybe it’s reacting with your coffee or something.’ I hastily wiped my lips with a kleenex and sure enough, they were black. I had put lip liner and lipstick on in the garage under the HOB, where it’s kind of dark and I was also busy yacking with Holly Hughes. Apparently, I had grabbed eye liner, instead of lip liner. Oops. I walked across the street, talking with various people and nobody said a word. I even talked to Kris Kraft in the back of Approps before heading up to the dais. She did notice my lips were black, but since I had just given her a back-handed compliment about her grandma sweater, she didn’t feel so inclined to tell me. Anyway, Matt Lori saved the day and saved me from a whole lot of further embarrassment!

As I look back over my three terms, I am grateful to so many people. Kevin Elsenheimer was a very steady and I have to say, wise Minority Leader. He did a great job of preparing us to be in majority. The 2nd termers did a great job of mentoring us freshmen with advice such as, ‘Nothing good happens in Lansing after 8:00.’ I have to thank Rep. Mark Meadows also. He reached out and included me in all the work and discussions on Unfunded Mandates.

I am so appreciative of our Republican leadership. Jase Bolger, Jim Stamas, John Walsh, and all of our leadership team have done an outstanding job of steering our caucus and this chamber. I told Speaker Bolger on many occasions, ‘I don’t know how you do it.’ Day after day of trying to get as many frogs in the wheelbarrow as possible. I also want to thank Speaker Bolger for appointing me as chair of Joint Capital Outlay. I was so honored that he placed so much faith and trust in me. Shortly after, I started taking his name in vain when I found out what a political beast JCOS was!

I’d like to recognize my seatmates, Bill Rogers, Mike Callton, and Tony Forlini. We have shared a lot of quality time together!

And then there’s Gail Haines. We had a lot of fun and never, ever caused any trouble, right?

Cindy Denby is the nicest human being you could ever want to meet. I don’t think that it’s possible to make her mad.

I would like to thank Kurt Heise and Attorney General Bill Schuette for putting together the MI Commission on Human Trafficking. With all the stakeholders at the table, we were able to enact effective legislation and make significant strides towards eradicating this human scourge.

We are blessed to have such top-notch staff, from fiscal, to policy to communications and so on. It’s impossible to recognize everyone, but I’d like to thank fiscal analysts Robin Risko and Viola Wild. Thanks to Katie Hoeksema for all of her work on the DEQ and JCOS budgets. Also, Jeremy Hendges, Travis Weber and Craig Ryan for all of their help with the TIFA issue. It doesn’t look like we’ll get it done this term, but I hope someone picks it up next term.

Much thanks to our clerks and our sergeants, who keep us in order and protect us – sometimes from each other! I appreciated Sergeant Carpenter’s Irish jokes.

I have had great office staff, also. I would like to thank Craig Puckett, Marnie Wills, Adam Stefanick and Kari Bearman for serving as my legislative directors. Adam poured his heart and soul into the human trafficking commission and Kari has been instrumental in helping me with the DDA/TIFA legislation.

Most of all, I want to thank Sharon Harris, who has been my scheduler, constituent relations, and all-around ‘making the boss look good’ person. Sharon is so very passionate about helping out constituents and knows who to contact and how to help people with state department issues. And no communication left my office that wasn’t perfect. Sharon is known as the ‘Queen of Tributes’, taking great care in personalizing each tribute for the person receiving it. More than anything, Sharon has been my foxhole buddy – always looking out for me! I don’t know what I’m going to do without Sharon taking care of me!

The person I want to thank most is my husband Mike. He believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I wouldn’t be here without his mentoring and never-ending support. The only downside is that we hardly ever quit discussing politics!

As we all know, politics and public service is hard on our families. My daughters Stephanie and Marissa, and son‑in‑law Tom have been so supportive and understanding. Grandchildren Madeline and Colin have been parade superstars and have been there with hugs when Grandma and Grandpa were stressed out.

I thank God every day for my six sisters who pitched in to take care of Dad after Mom died. It was quite a project just to keep Dad from following Mom and without them, there would have been no way I could be a member of this legislature.

I owe a depth of gratitude to the voters who entrusted me to represent them. I did my best to address their concerns and issues. And I have so many friends and supporters from the district to thank. My campaign treasurer David Baetens does such a thorough job and keeps me out of trouble. Lynn O’Brien has done a wonderful job of representing both Mike and I in the district. There are just too many others who have been there and had my back all along to mention.

As others have mentioned, I’ve never walked into this chamber without being awestruck by the history and unique architecture. I have to admit, though, that I always felt something was missing. Every time I looked at the balcony above the rostrum, I imagined Statler and Waldorf up there. You know – the two grumpy old-guy muppets who hung out on the balcony and mercilessly heckle all during The Muppets Show. Not like there would ever be anything here to heckle! Anyway, I was trying to see if I could get Statler and Waldorf to make a special appearance here, when I found out that we actually have our own versions of Statler and Waldorf – Clerks Brown and Randall! It just so happens they are just below the balcony, on the rostrum. I’m sure neither one has ever found anything to heckle us about, right Mr. Clerks?

In closing let me say that I have always tried to do what’s right. An easy vote is not always the right vote and vice‑versa. I know we shook things up a bit during the last four years, but the status quo wasn’t working. We did a lot of heavy lifting, but there’s been a lot of laughter along the way. I guess what I’d like to leave you with is that it’s so important to keep your perspective and not get wrapped up too tight about what’s going on here. In times that tend to be so divisive, it’s vital to take time to step back and see the humor in situations. A little laughter mixed in with all the weighty issues we take on as legislators can’t be a bad thing.

I will miss all of you and God bless you all.”

Rep. Lipton:

“A wise woman once told me that she began each day with the desire to leave more stones on the proverbial pile at the end of the day than were there at the start — that is, to leave things better off than when you found them. And to her, that desire defined a righteous life, a life well-lived. Those words of wisdom were spoken by my dear, departed sister, Shannon Hope, who lost her battle with cancer this past March and was laid to rest on my birthday.

Nearly my entire tenure in this chamber was touched by her illness, and it was her advice, coinciding with her initial diagnosis, that inspired me to even run for office – an unlikely path for a patent attorney from Alabama, no less.

And so two journeys began – hers into the tangled web of cancer treatment and mine into the maze of public service – neither of us exactly knowing what the next day, month or year would bring. This shared experience gave me a unique perspective on my time here and allowed me to view our work through her prism of a life well-lived.

As we travelled our respective paths, we shared our experiences with each other. I shared with her the joys and frustrations of public service, and as she recounted her own battles, many on this end seemed petty and insignificant when compared to the war she was waging for her very life.

There was nothing that infuriated her more, however, than the issue of public education, and the wrong direction both federal and state policy were moving, all in the name of so-called reform. Before she became ill, my sister’s professional career was centered on students and developing school-based programs to combat systemic bigotry and intolerance. ‘Our future rests in the hands of our children’ was not just a catch-phrase for my sister, it was her life’s work. And when she said ‘it’s all about the children,’ she really meant it. Sadly, the same cannot be said of some in this chamber.

Many of the education policies emanating from this body over the last four years are at best misguided, and at worst downright harmful to Michigan’s children. Spin and messaging aside, we are spending less per pupil today than in 1994, the advent of Proposal A, when adjusted for inflation. We are subjecting our children to hours and hours of standardized testing which offers little educational value, but returns enormous profit to the testing industry. And it is widening the gap between the haves and have-nots because one of the few things that these standardized tests can reliably measure is the socio-economic status of the students who take them. Take steps to reduce poverty in a community, and the educational achievement of its youngest citizens will grow.

Instead of pursuing policies that work, during the past four years I have witnessed this legislature spin its wheels debating tenure, mandatory retention, state take-over districts, and the like, all of which represent the failed and tired ideas of the corporate reformers, eager to make a quick buck and causing untold harm in the process. But it doesn’t have to be this way. I introduced a bill earlier this session incorporating educational audits and community-led school improvement plans that are both successful and sustainable in improving education for our children. Regrettably, this bill did not even get a hearing, but hopefully the next legislature can change that.

What many of your constituents understand in their very gut is that a sound system of community-governed public schools is the very foundation of a Democratic society. The Founders of this country knew it, and the people all across this state know it too.

It is these people that I wish to thank first because you have inspired me along my journey. I have had the privilege of meeting so many of you along the way. You are my heroes and education warriors. I look forward to continuing to fight with you to preserve public education in this state and across the country.

Next, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the people of the 27th House District, comprised of seven amazing communities – Berkley, Ferndale, Hazel Park, Huntington Woods, Oak Park, Pleasant Ridge, and Royal Oak Township. Each unique and special in its own right. It has been an honor and privilege to represent each and every one of you these past six years.

I would also like to express my heartfelt appreciation to Heidi Zabik and Barbara Winter in my office. You both have been tireless in your devotion to the people of the 27th District, and I will always be grateful.

Most importantly, I wish to thank my family, my husband Marc and my children, Corey and Celia who have supported me every step along the way of this incredible journey. You will now have me all to yourselves again!

And finally, I dedicate these remarks, as well as my time in this chamber, to the memory of my beloved sister, Shannon Hope. As my journey here comes to an end, I pray that I have left more stones on the pile upon my exit than when I first arrived. Yours was a life well-lived, and I hope I’ve made you proud. May you rest in peace.”

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
