Reverend Tom Kuehnemund of Sacred Heart Parish of Yale offered the following invocation:

Lord God, we are grateful for our wonderful state. You have given us the best apples and cherries on earth. For wonderful places to visit like Frankenmuth and Mackinac Island; for the five most beautiful freshwater lakes in the world; for delicious food like Hudsonville ice cream, Better Made chips, Vernors ginger ale; for Koegel hot dogs on the grill; and for pasties found only in Michigan. And if all these blessings weren’t enough, You’ve given us the U.P.—a little place of heaven on earth.

And for the men and women who serve in the Senate, we are very, very grateful. Bless their minds and their hearts as they continue to make our beautiful state a good place to live and raise families. We pray for the grace to always realize how truly we blessed we already are. If we could ask for one thing, dear Lord, it would be for a little less rain and a lot more sunshine. Otherwise, help us to be content with what we have and with each other.

We ask this in the name of Jesus, forever and ever. Amen.

 

The President, Lieutenant Governor Gilchrist, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Messages from the Governor

 

 

The following message from the Governor was received on June 17, 2019, and read:

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2019-16

 

Task Force on Women in Sports

 

Department of State

 

Multiple studies have documented that women who play sports are more likely to seek and fill leadership roles in other sectors. Yet even with the enactment of Title IX nearly fifty years ago, opportunities for girls and women in sports, while improved, remain severely limited.

These limitations intersect with what is now a pivotal moment for gender equality and opportunity in Michigan. More women leaders are serving in state and federal government than ever before, but there is still much work to be done. Women of color, for instance, continue to be underrepresented in government and in all other industries, and women hold just 15 percent of board seats at Michigan’s 100 largest companies.

Women and girls of all backgrounds derive countless benefits from opportunities to play sports – from lessons in confidence, courage, resilience, and perseverance, to gains in physical health and psychological well-being. Female athletes defy gender stereotypes, serve as role models, and widen perspectives.

Nonetheless, and even with the protections of Title IX, women continue to receive fewer opportunities in sports. They encounter lower levels of investment, training resources, and safety assurances than their male counterparts – disparities that are further stratified by income and race. This is exacerbated by the imbalance of female leadership in college sports; currently in Michigan, for instance, only one Division 1 athletic program is led by a woman. When women succeed as professional athletes, they meet a glass ceiling and a substantial pay gap – barriers that extend to leadership positions with professional leagues and teams, as well as in sports agencies, clothing companies, and marketing firms.

This inequity in access and opportunity prevents girls and women in this state from fully accessing the benefits in leadership development that sports can provide – to the detriment of not only these girls and women, but also this state, which stands to gain from their leadership. Michigan and its residents would benefit from a task force that brings together local and national leaders in sports and education to evaluate this problem, develop strategies to support and promote opportunities in this state for girls and women in sports, and position Michigan as a lasting model in creating and advancing women leaders.

Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.

Section 8 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 places each principal department of state government under the supervision of the governor unless otherwise provided.
