Senate Resolution No. 92.
A resolution to declare October 14-18, 2013, as Credit Union Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Credit unions have been organized in Michigan since 1934, and they have a proud tradition of innovation and leadership among the nation’s credit unions. The Michigan credit union movement has a proven record of growth, progress, and success; and
Whereas, Michigan credit unions are rooted in the communities in which they serve, whether supporting local charities, offering financial education seminars, or operating student-run credit union branches in schools. They do this voluntarily because, as not-for-profit member-owned financial cooperatives, credit unions recognize that social responsibility is an integral part of their mission; and
Whereas, Credit unions in Michigan have demonstrated their ability to improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities for generations by following the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People”; and
Whereas, Michigan credit unions remain informed through the assistance of the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates, which has focused exclusively on serving its members throughout its history. It is a commitment that is concisely expressed in its mission statement: The Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates will help credit unions serve their members, grow their market presence and strengthen their financial condition; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body hereby declare October 14-18, 2013, as Credit Union Week in the state of Michigan. We honor Michigan credit unions as they celebrate Credit Union Week.
Senators Ananich, Anderson, Bieda, Booher, Brandenburg, Emmons, Green, Hildenbrand, Hopgood, Jones, Marleau, Pappageorge, Pavlov, Proos, Richardville and Warren were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.
Senators Hood, Jones, Brandenburg, Ananich, Booher and Pappageorge offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 93.
A resolution recognizing the 50th Anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Whereas, On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy was shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald while campaigning in Dallas, Texas; and
Whereas, John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States for nearly three years before his tragic and untimely death; and
Whereas, Although President John F. Kennedy did not live to see a man walk on the moon, it was his support and inspiring commitment to space exploration that helped make it possible six years after his death; and
Whereas, In 1961, President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps to promote world peace and friendship. The program has allowed over 210,000 volunteers to serve 139 different host countries since its creation, helping the people of interested countries better understand Americans and helping Americans better understand other people; and
Whereas, On May 5, 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed the minimum wage bill that raised the minimum wage from $1.00 to $1.25 an hour and expanded its coverage to include roughly 3.5 million more citizens; and
Whereas, President John F. Kennedy’s support of and advocacy for the Civil Rights Movement was seen through numerous executive orders and personal appeals, such as the executive order made in 1962 that prohibited discrimination in the sale or leasing of housing that was financed by federally-guaranteed loans or owned by the federal government; and
Whereas, The patience, intelligence, and bravery shown by President John F. Kennedy led the United States out of the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, safely averting the prospect of a worldwide nuclear war; and
Whereas, These acts as President of the United States won John F. Kennedy numerous awards, including the American Campaign Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom; and
Whereas, In his time as President of the United States, John F. Kennedy enacted and inspired programs, movements, and legislation for the benefit of the nation and its people; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize November 22, 2013, as the 50th Anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and honor his memory and the contributions he made to the United States of America.
Senators Anderson, Bieda, Emmons, Hildenbrand, Hopgood, Pavlov, Proos, Richardville and Warren were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.
Senators Jansen and Warren offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 91.
A resolution recognizing the efforts of the Legislators Building Communities Program and commemorating October 8, 2013, as Legislators Building Communities Day.
Whereas, It is with the deepest respect that we honor the efforts of the many organizations that have dedicated their efforts to meet the housing and community economic development needs in our state through the Legislators Building Communities Program; and
Whereas, With gratitude, we salute the broad-based coalition of agencies, associations, and organizations that have worked on this effort. These include Habitat for Humanity of Michigan (73) affiliates; Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM) and its nearly 200 member organizations; Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA); and other statewide and regional organizations and their members, including Community Development Advocates of Detroit (CDAD), Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness, Community enCompass, Corporation for Supportive Housing, Michigan Housing Council, FiveCAP, Inc., Michigan Historic Preservation Network, Michigan Municipal League, Michigan Association of Realtors, Michigan Association of Counties, Home Builders Association of Michigan, American Planning Association of Michigan, Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence, and Michigan Community Action Agencies; and
Whereas, The work these efforts promote is commendable. Neighborhood improvement projects foster pride and community spirit, while demolitions and deconstructions reduce blight and increase safety. Downtown development projects create healthy and vibrant downtown districts and livable communities; and
Whereas, Through the accomplishments of the coalition, in 2013, more than 75 Michigan legislators have participated in the Legislators Building Communities Program by volunteering on projects throughout the state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That with highest respect and gratitude, we recognize the efforts of the Legislators Building Communities Program; and be it further
Resolved, That we commemorate October 8, 2013, as the Legislators Building Communities Commemoration Day. It is a day when legislators, advocacy groups, and the public can celebrate the completion of legislator volunteer projects in or near their legislative districts, while showcasing hundreds of local housing and community economic development efforts that will make Michigan a safe, healthy, and welcoming place to live; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Habitat for Humanity of Michigan, Michigan State Housing Development Authority, and Community Economic Development Association of Michigan as a reflection of our gratitude.
Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,
Senator Meekhof moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The resolution was adopted.
Senators Ananich, Anderson, Bieda, Booher, Brandenburg, Emmons, Green, Hildenbrand, Hopgood, Pappageorge, Pavlov, Proos and Richardville were named co‑sponsors of the resolution.
Senators Jansen and Warren asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Jansen’s first statement is as follows:
Legislators Building Communities is an initiative of the Living in Michigan Coalition. It’s a broad network of housing and community development practitioners. This initiative is a way for legislators to learn more about housing and community development activities while volunteering. Legislators Building Communities also gives community members the opportunity to begin to strengthen their relationship with their elected officials.
Today, I have with me my co-chair on this, Senator Warren. In fact, she was just telling me this story of working this past weekend on her project.
Senator Warren’s statement is as follows:
Just yesterday, Governor Snyder proclaimed October 7, 2013, as Habitat for Humanity Day in Michigan. Habitat for Humanity is one of the member groups of the Living in Michigan Coalition.
On behalf of my colleagues who are the co-chairs of the Legislators Building Communities project, Senator Jansen and myself, and our House colleagues, Representative Sam Singh and Representative Wayne Schmidt, we would like to recognize some of the members of the Living in Michigan Coalition who are here with us today: Sandy Pearson, the president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Michigan; Ken Bensen, past president emeritus; Jamie Schriner-Hooper and Jessica AcMoody of the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan—that we commonly know as CEDAM; and Mark Garcia and Jennifer Bowman from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.
I wish for our colleagues to help us welcome them today.
Senator Jansen’s second statement is as follows:
We want to thank all the Senators and Representatives who have volunteered their time working with the organizations back home. We have enjoyed our time as co-chairs of Legislators Building Communities. We will be working once again with Habitat for Humanity of Kent County—for some of us on the west side—on October 18 as part of our legislative build.
Now I’d like to introduce one person from my district, and there are some others from other districts who will also be introduced. Ira Thomas, I believe, is here; I see him with a smile. He has been part of Habitat for Humanity, kind of getting his hands dirty and trying to teach us legislators how to not smash our fingers. Ira, welcome and thanks for being part of this.

I know that credit unions are trusted by millions of Michiganders to safeguard their financial assets, so I rise today to congratulate them and acknowledge that they are a valuable part of each and every one of our communities. I’m glad that we passed Senate Resolution No. 92.
