Senator Shirkey’s first statement is as
follows:
One of our own sergeants, Rick Cook, is
deciding to reprioritize his time and spend even more time with dear Janice
here. I haven’t had enough time to talk to Janice yet to see if she likes this
idea or not. She’s smiling here and Rick’s got his hand behind her—I think he’s
guiding what she’s supposed to be doing. They’ve got signals going on here.
Rick has spent most of his career in
law enforcement. He spent a very courageous and highly decorated career in the
Lansing Police Department and then, 18 years ago, he came to the Senate. You
wonder how can somebody do that—two different careers—and still look as young
as he does. Janice, I think he must take some credit for how young he looks at
this stage after two careers like that. You must make it very easy for him at
home.
Rick has progressed through various
stages of higher levels of responsibility during his time here in the Senate,
and he’s been key and instrumental in making sure we’re always on the front
edge of training our sergeants from the standpoint of safety and security. He’s
an expert in that area. He’s also a natural leader and when people are around
him, they just kind of gravitate to him. And even though he can expand
eloquently and tell stories that everybody knows are not true, they still give
him the kind of respect and attention that he deserves just because he’s that
kind of person. He and I have shared a few stories about hunting—we have some
shared love there—and I can tell you for a fact that this guy knows exactly
where all the big bucks are where he hunts because he’s always successful. Just
like he’s been successful here serving the Senate.
And so at this time, Rick and Janice,
it is with great appreciation that we thank you for sharing Rick with us for all
these years. And Rick, your leadership and your presence is going to be a hard
hole to fill. We’ll do our best, but on behalf of the Senate and all the
colleagues and staff here, we just wish you guys the very best next career you
possibly can have. Go forth, prosper, and enjoy. And God bless you for your
service.
Senator Shirkey’s second statement is
as follows:
What a delightful day to have all
these tributes. It’s bittersweet a bit because we have people we love and have
worked for and with for a number of years leaving, but it’s also precious that
they’re able to enjoy health and be able to go and do the next things in life.
That’s what we have here before us right now.
Tom Wegener has been in the
Senate for 30 years—more than 30 years—and is really our guru in the Business
Office of purchasing. I’m seeing all kinds of heads nod across the floor here
of how Tom and his skills and his passion for helping and his personality is
just something that bleeds customer service. Tom is very creative in how he does
his job. He’s brought along a lot of best-practice, world-class systems and
procedures into the department and it makes it function as it does today, and
we all are benefactors of that effort.
Now Joyce here, Joyce is Tom’s
wife. Joyce is also looking forward to this next phase in life in which Tom is
not spending all of his time away from home. Tom, by the way, is statewide,
nationally, and internationally known for his efforts with the Knights of
Columbus. That is a passion that also further reinforces his personality of
service. Joyce was sharing with me in the lobby a minute ago, I said, “What can
you tell me about Tom?” She says, “Well, I’ll just tell you one thing. You can
tell a German, but you just can’t tell him much.”
On behalf of my colleagues and
staff and all the support people here on the Senate floor, we just want to
thank you, Tom, for all of your service, all of your dedication, all your
passion, and all your assistance, and the example you’ve been for all of us in
the role you’ve played. It’s beautiful to see both of you standing here knowing
that you’re healthy and you’re ready to take on these next stages of life which
should be nothing but fun. We just bless you. Go forth and prosper and be
healthy and enjoy.
Senator Shirkey’s third statement is as
follows:
We’re here to provide a special
tribute—this is for exemplary service in the Michigan Senate—as one of our
colleagues and co-workers and supporters chooses to take another path in her
career.
Sarah Smock—I haven’t gotten used to calling
you Sarah Waun yet, but I’m working on it; even my e-mails to you say Sarah
Smock—and I have been attached at the hip for the bigger part of both of our
careers here in the Senate. She has got great instincts and is a true
conservative through and through—even to the point where she’s acted as a “fun
governor” for me, in other words, saying I’m not conservative enough. Yeah,
that’s right. During her career in the policy office, she has served on health
policy, agriculture, and health and human services, all of which are very
important to our culture and our state, and very complex. Sarah has
demonstrated over and over again her ability to take on complex issues and
topics that she had previously no experience in and quickly ramped up to have
great expertise and a terrific resource for advice. She’s a hard worker.
She’s been with me on a couple of big
projects—Medicaid expansion was one of them, work requirements was another one,
midwifery was a big one that we worked on together and finally got across the
goal line. She’s been an almost infinite value resource on a wide range of
topics. She never hesitated when I would text her or e-mail her at 7 o’clock on
Sunday night and say I need a little research done, and, by the way, I’d be
appreciative if I could have it by 9 o’clock Monday morning. I can’t think of
any times in which she disappointed me on that.
She’s now choosing to go from working
with and trying to help a group of, I say, unmanageable people—by the way, that
goes on both sides of the aisle, folks—to a group which she thinks is going to
be more manageable. I happen to think in this particular case that she may be
challenged in that area because she’s going to go take care of government
affairs for the Michigan State Medical Society. Now if you think herding a
bunch of Senators is difficult, wait until you try to herd a bunch of doctors.
I think her background has prepared her well for this. We’ve had enough bumps
in the road, the two of us, and bruises and lessons learned that I think she’ll
be well-armed to recognize when that occurs.
With that, Sarah, though I really,
really hate losing you as a resource in the Senate, I want you to know that I
think you can do very well in this next endeavor, and we wish you and Dan
nothing but the very best. Let’s congratulate them please.

Protests

Johnson and Theis submitted their reasons, in writing, for voting “no” on the
passage of on House Bill No. 4051.
Senator Johnson’s statement, in which
Senator Theis concurred, is as follows:
I rise to give my “no” vote
explanation for House Bill No. 4051.
Although this bill is
well-intentioned, I feel that it creates duplicate services which will add cost
without providing clear additional benefit.
Current resources exist which
provide substantially similar services including 2-1-1, the National Suicide
Prevention hotline, and toll-free numbers currently operated by Community
Mental Health agencies in the state.
For this reason, I could not
support this bill.

Statements

Geiss asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved

The
motion prevailed.
Senator Geiss’ statement is as follows:
I think many of you know that
January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. This is something we not only
recognize in Michigan, and even though we don’t have legislation that is
currently attached to it, it is something that is a national awareness month.
The Department of Homeland Security has designated January 11 as Human
Trafficking Awareness Day and hopefully on Saturday as we’re out and about in
our districts and our communities, we’ll remember to wear blue, which is their
ask of all of us in the country to raise awareness about the perils of human
trafficking—something that is modern-day slavery and a horrific scourge on our
communities and in our country.
