Pastor Sarah LaRose-Nettell, Pastor of Calvary Community Church in Flint, offered the following invocation:
“Dear Gracious and Heavenly Father, You are the Creator of all Mankind, the giver of all Spiritual Grace, the author of Everlasting Life, and we come to You on this beautiful day, in Thanksgiving. We thank You for the opportunity to serve You and to pray a special blessing upon each and every person in this room. They are representing this wonderful free Country that we live in and they need blessed in guidance, direction and protection.
What an awesome privilege they have to represent the people of this State, their words do become our words, their actions, our actions, their deeds, our deeds. May they sense right now that Thou art here and Thou art there and Thou art everywhere between. Give them a gracious day, may they operate in one accord and in unity and feel the joy and peace that only You can give them.
Now as was an old family custom, may we bow our heads and pray that beautiful prayer in which our Lord taught us, namely the Our Father, using trespass and trespasses, please.
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our debts and we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen.
And now may the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, the communion of the Holy Spirit, rest and abide with you now and forevermore, Amen.”

Messages from the Senate
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 16.
A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Harry T. Gast, former member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Whereas, It is with great sadness that the members of this legislature learned of the passing of Harry Gast. Devoted to his family, dedicated to farming, and a true leader for his constituents in Southwest Michigan, Harry Gast was a mentor, colleague, and highly devoted public servant. Our prayers go out to his family; and
Whereas, A lifelong resident of Southwest Michigan, Harry Gast grew up on his family farm where he spent a lifetime farming, fishing, hunting, and trapping. Honest, proud, and direct, he began his public service in his home of Lincoln Township, serving over the years as township supervisor, treasurer, and an elected member of the school board. In 1970, he was elected to the House of Representatives bringing his farmer’s common sense and spirit to Lansing, where he had a profound and lasting impact on many Michigan lives. In 1978, Mr. Gast was elected to the Michigan Senate where he served until 2002; and
Whereas, During both his House and Senate tenures, Harry Gast focused on issues that were important to him and his constituents. He supported natural resources and agriculture, and took a great interest in education, especially at the community college level. He earned numerous awards and honors of distinction for his work as a legislator throughout his 32-year career in Lansing, including three honorary degrees. He was honored by organizations as varied as the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, the Michigan Farm Bureau, Michigan United Conservation Clubs, and Southwest Michigan College; and
Whereas, Harry Gast will be most remembered for his work as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, on which he served throughout his entire Senate tenure and as committee chair for 18 years. A true problem solver, Senator Gast understood the details and nuances of the budget process, focusing on the welfare of Michigan residents rather than politics. He provided a steadying influence on the appropriations process during periods of serious economic challenge and was respected for conveying budget news honestly to legislators; and
Whereas, Beginning in 1992, Senator Gast presided over the Appropriations Committee in the room originally designed for the Michigan Supreme Court. Dedicated in 1879, the Supreme Court used the chamber for almost 100 years, longer than any other location in the state. The chamber escaped pressure through the years to be subdivided and reallocated as office space, and was used as a Senate hearing room after 1970. The Senate Appropriations Committee moved into the newly restored chambers in 1992 with Senator Gast as the committee chair; and
Whereas, The chamber appropriately reflects the important and serious work carried out within its walls and the values of our state, in which Harry Gast believed and worked every day as a Senator to uphold. Using humble materials applied to appear as expensive stone and wood and hand-painted walls rather than expensive wall coverings, the chamber still exudes a sense of opulence and formality. It represents the traditions, first of the Supreme Court, and now of the Legislature and Appropriations Committee, that are so important to the people of Michigan. Yet, it belies the very basic nature of the work and effort that takes place here every day by committed, concerned men and women such as Harry Gast. To this day, the chamber continues to impress and serve as one of the busiest public meeting and hearing rooms; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Harry T. Gast, a member of the House of Representatives from 1971 to 1978 and the Senate from 1979 to 2002; and be it further
Resolved, That the Senate Appropriations Room, located on the third floor of the Michigan Capitol Building, be named the Harry T. Gast Appropriations Room and that markers designating this memorial be placed at the room; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Gast family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory, and to the members of the Michigan State Capitol Commission.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
The Speaker and the entire membership of the House of Representatives were named co‑sponsors of the concurrent resolution.
The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.
By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of
Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Inman, Crawford, Hovey-Wright, Hughes, LaVoy, Poleski, Price, Schor and Singh offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 158.
A resolution to declare October 3, 2015, as Buy Nearby Get Caught Blue-Handed Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Buy Nearby is an ongoing, year-round campaign, launched by the Michigan Retailers Association to benefit businesses, local communities, and residents across Michigan; and
Whereas, The campaign is intended to serve as a personal call to action, a symbol of pride and celebration, a rallying cry across Michigan, and an economic driver for our state and local communities; and
Whereas, Buy Nearby wants to bring a “Pure Michigan” type of feeling to shopping in Michigan and get shoppers committed to buying nearby in Michigan, and
Whereas, Retailing is responsible for 850,000 jobs in Michigan and if shoppers commit to buying nearby in Michigan, we can create more local jobs through increased local purchases; and
Whereas, If Michigan consumers chose to support retail businesses in Michigan by always buying nearby rather than from “remote sellers,” Michigan in 2015 would gain more than 74,000 additional jobs and $9 billion in additional economic activity, including $2.5 billion in additional wages the new workers would earn; and
Whereas, Each purchase made when someone buys nearby in Michigan keeps more money within Michigan communities, which improves the vitality of Michigan’s local economies and their quality of life and directly supports our communities, our schools, and our infrastructure; and
Whereas, Buy Nearby seeks to build upon and strengthen existing shop-local groups by expanding and elevating the Buy Nearby in Michigan movement to a statewide campaign; and
Whereas, The year-round Buy Nearby campaign has designated October 3, 2015, as “Get Caught Blue-Handed Day,” a day to celebrate local retail businesses and their importance and to encourage consumers to “get caught” buying nearby; and
Whereas, Communities and retailers are encouraged to offer special events and other promotions to encourage local shopping and stimulate Michigan’s economy on Get Caught Blue-Handed Day; and
Whereas, Buy Nearby will encourage shoppers to participate in the excitement of Get Caught Blue-Handed Day, which will demonstrate that buying nearby can be fun and rewarding to local communities and consumers; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 3, 2015, as Buy Nearby Get Caught Blue-Handed Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That the people of the state of Michigan are encouraged to buy nearby on this day and every day.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Driskell, LaVoy, Pagan, Talabi, Zemke, Greig, Garrett, Neeley, Moss, Wittenberg, Hoadley, Irwin, Cochran, Geiss, Chirkun, Smiley, Faris, Chang, Liberati, Hovey-Wright, Plawecki, Darany, Clemente, Love, Durhal, Derek Miller, Sarah Roberts, Schor and Singh offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 159.
A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to continue funding the federal government and avoid a lapse in federal operations.
Whereas, On October 1, 2015, the federal government will no longer have the funding necessary to operate a fully functioning government if Congress fails to authorize funding. The United States has long been a beacon of democracy for the world, and yet, the partial shutdown of the federal government is the latest fiscal failure in a seemingly endless game of budgetary brinkmanship that places the well-being of our nation in jeopardy and calls into question our standing as global leaders; and
Whereas, A shutdown of the federal government harms hundreds of thousands of individuals who rely on federal funding for their well-being. During the 2013 shutdown, an estimated 800,000 federal workers were temporarily laid off, approximately 40 percent of the federal workforce. While some workers in the past have been paid for their furloughed time, workers who rely on federal contracts may be laid off or furloughed without pay. These workers rely on these paychecks to pay their rent and mortgages, pay bills, and support their spouse and children. When the federal budget is held hostage, these workers and their families are held hostage as well; and
Whereas, Such fiscal irresponsibility has real consequences for everyday Americans. A partial government shutdown prevents new applications for essential services from programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Veteran Affairs from being processed. A shutdown also closes our national parks and barricades our national monuments, preventing American citizens and global travelers from exploring our nation’s great history. Among the casualties of a budget shutdown are Michigan’s hard-working families, who face a shutoff of services for vulnerable adults and children as well as termination for federally-reliant workers; and
Whereas, The partial shutdown of the U.S. government is economically detrimental. In the last federal shutdown, it was estimated that the funding lapse resulted in an approximate 0.2 percentage point drop in gross domestic product every week that the funding crisis persisted. A partial closure of the federal government also suspends application processing for federal loans for rural communities, small businesses, and home buyers. Moreover, allowing a partial shutdown of the federal government shakes consumer and business confidence and creates a negative disposition for investors; and
Whereas, Congressional members and leadership must end their political posturing and ensure the federal government continues to fully function without interruption. Holding the federal budget hostage over a few small appropriations is irresponsible and is not in the best interest of the country and the constituencies to which the members of Congress are responsible; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to continue funding the federal government and avoid a lapse in federal operations; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Reps. Runestad, Tedder, Forlini, Hooker, Kelly and Price offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 160.
A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to make permanent a ban on the federal, state, and local taxation of internet access.
Whereas, The current moratorium on federal, state, and local taxation of internet access is scheduled to expire October 1, 2015. The Internet Tax Freedom Act of 1998 established a moratorium on taxing internet access or imposing discriminatory internet-only taxes. The moratorium on internet taxation has been extended several times—in 2001, 2004, 2007, and 2014. Congress must act to maintain the integrity and accessibility of the internet and make permanent the ban on taxing internet access; and
Whereas, Allowing the moratorium on internet taxation to be lifted would be detrimental to the U.S. economy. The internet is an economic tool that boosts production, creates jobs, and is a key driver of modern economic growth. Small and large businesses alike use the internet to reach out to their consumer base, and consumers rely on the internet to gain access to and find new businesses. Taxing internet access would have a direct and negative impact on consumer participation. The internet has not yet reached every American home, and an internet tax would slow growth of internet saturation nationwide; and
Whereas, Taxing access to the internet would be detrimental to the American people. The internet has been a tremendous tool for the dissemination of information and facilitates rapid communication. Taxing internet access places more barriers between the people who would benefit the greatest from internet access and the life-enhancing tools, like knowledge growth and skill development, the internet can provide. According to U.S. Census data, only 40 percent of individuals with less than a high school diploma have access to the internet compared to 92 percent of college graduates who have internet access. Lifting the moratorium on internet taxation would make it more difficult to reach this underserved population; and
Whereas, States and local governments have made it clear that they will place taxes on internet access if permitted. Allowing the moratorium on internet taxation to expire would permit current state and local telecommunication levies to be applied to internet service providers and allow the opportunity for new taxes to be enacted. States like Massachusetts have already issued statements advising internet providers on how to comply with state tax laws should the Internet Tax Freedom Act of 1998 be allowed to expire. State and local governments, starved of revenue, will use this opportunity to develop new internet-based taxes. Chicago, for example, recently implemented a 9 percent tax on streaming entertainment services, like Netflix and Spotify; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to make permanent a ban on the federal, state, and local taxation of internet access; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
