Senator John Bizon, M.D. of the 19th District offered the following invocation:
Dear heavenly Father, we appeal to You this day and acknowledge that You are the awesome God, the only true God, the Creator and Master of the universe. We are mere men and women and admit our limitations and weakness. Therefore, we look to You to guide our hand in the decisions made in this house.
We pray for Your peace. Your holy Word says in Luke 10:5-6, “But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.” Therefore, we declare shalom or peace to this house. May this leadership find the peace of God and follow that peace.
We pray for Your wisdom. Your holy Word says in James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” Therefore, we ask for Your wisdom to do what is right in Your sight. We know that You are not the author of confusion; help us to see clearly the straight path.
We pray for Your courage and strength. In praying for courage and strength, two verses come to mind—Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” and 1 Corinthians 16:13, “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”
We ask, heavenly Father, that You would strengthen the righteous. Give them the moral courage to prevail. May Your will be done. John 14:13, “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” In Jesus’ holy name we pray. Amen.
The President, Lieutenant Governor
Gilchrist, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge
of Allegiance.

Senate Resolution No. 103.
A resolution to recognize January 30-February 5, 2022, as Catholic Schools Week.
Whereas, There are 47,842 students attending 215 Catholic elementary and high schools throughout our great state; and
Whereas, The Constitution of Michigan states that, “Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged”; and
Whereas, Catholic school parents pay tuition in addition to supporting their local public schools through their taxes; and
Whereas, Catholic schools comply with the same health, safety, and general welfare regulations required of public schools; and
Whereas, Taking into account Michigan’s minimum public school foundation allowance of $8,700 per pupil, Catholic schools save taxpayers more than $416 million in state spending annually; and
Whereas, Catholic schools instill a broad, values-based education, emphasizing the lifelong development of moral, intellectual, and social values in young people, making them responsible citizens of our state and nation; and
Whereas, Catholic schools educate many students who are non-Catholic and economically disadvantaged, identifying that a good education remains the single best way out of poverty; and
Whereas, With traditionally high academic standards, high graduation rates, and commitment to community service, Catholic schools and their graduates make a positive contribution to society; and
Whereas, January 30-February 5, 2022, has been designated as Catholic Schools Week, with the theme “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.” as denoted by the National Catholic Educational Association and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; and
Whereas, The common good of the state of Michigan is strengthened through the continued existence of Catholic schools; and
Whereas, Catholic schools are committed to producing graduates who hold community service and “helping others” among their core values; and
Whereas, Catholic schools create a supportive partnership with each student’s family, while also encouraging parental involvement in their children’s education, so that Catholic students form productive lives that benefit future generations; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize January 30-February 5, 2022, as Catholic Schools Week; and be it further
Resolved, That we support the continued
dedication of Catholic schools across Michigan toward academic excellence and
the key role Catholic schools play in promoting and ensuring a brighter,
stronger future for students; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Catholic Conference with our highest esteem.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
Senator Stamas was named co-sponsor of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Senator LaSata’s statement is as follows:
I stand today to share with you the
importance of Michigan’s Catholic schools and bring attention to the work they
do educating students in every corner of the state. Michigan is home to 215
Catholic elementary and high schools that span many of our districts and
provide an education and instill lifelong values to nearly 48,000 students.
Catholic schools emphasize not only the importance of education but also the
development of moral, intellectual, and social values in young people. They
encourage students to help others and to give back to their communities. These
core values set graduates up for a lifetime of success in both their personal
and professional lives. As a former teacher and graduate of Lake Michigan
Catholic Schools in St. Joseph, I’m grateful to have the opportunity to pass
along the same values that were taught to me as an alumna.
I remember transferring to Lake Michigan Catholic in high school and one of my
first memories was walking up to a door and having another student, a young
man, hold the door for me and I thought, What are you doing? It was very nice
and that’s just an example of what is taught in Catholic schools. Students
getting along, looking out for one another, I admire their comradery among the
students.
Senate Resolution No. 103 recognizes the excellent work Michigan’s Catholic school administrators and teachers perform on a daily basis by declaring January 30 through February 5, 2022, as Catholic Schools Week in Michigan. As a former Catholic school student teacher and parent, I know firsthand the outstanding work these professionals do to educate and support students. The teachers, the administrators, the parents work together for the best interest of the students. I hope you will all join me in applauding the dedication of Catholic schools, their leaders and staff, and recognizing the key role Catholic schools play, and promoting and ensuring a brighter, stronger future for students and families.
Mr. President, I thank you for your time and ask that my colleagues please consider this resolution.
By unanimous consent the Senate proceeded to the order of
Statements
The motion prevailed.
Senator Hollier’s statement is as follows:
I just want to take a moment to recognize that I lost a dear friend this week. We all know Ken Cole, whom many of you had the occasion to work with and serve with, passed on Sunday. He had been dealing with health challenges over the last year. He was one of the first people I met when I started working in the Legislature. He’s my fraternity brother, and he was the kind of person who cared about the issues he came to lobby about, who cared about the people he worked with, and I’m eternally grateful and a better person and man and legislator because he was there for me as a staffer. Literally, one of my first couple weeks, he came and spoke to me and talked to me about what I needed to do. There weren’t that many Black faces, particularly in the advocacy space, and he was always one who was prepared and taught me how to do these things. Every day I legislate, every day I operate in this space, it comes from the lessons he taught me about being prepared.
What you’ll always remember about Ken is that he had a big old smile and a giant stack of paper. We all know we’ve moved into a world of technology, but that man was carrying 17 copies of 75 different things to tell you about it and was quoting charts and tables and all kinds of things because he knew data mattered and he represented people who mattered. He represented the city of Detroit, Wayne County Community College District, and a host of issues and things that are relevant in my community. People who were relevant, people who mattered, and when he talked to you, he had all the numbers and charts and data, but he talked to you about the impact it was going to have on people. He leaves a gap we can’t fill, but I hope as you think about the policies we’re doing this year, that you think about how he would have talked to you, that you have his voice in your ear as we think about state appropriations for people, for taking care of folks who grew up in neighborhoods like I did, like we did, and communities that need things and places that require good government to succeed and to be successful. Without him here and his big smile and that lean he does, we won’t have that same voice advocating for people; we won’t have that same voice and same person who’s in your ear who is working to advance the issues that are going to come before this body and this state.
I know I will carry him with me because of the lessons he taught me, because of the voice I will always hear from him and around him, and I hope you all will too—that you’ll think about the moments you had with Ken, that you reach out to his family and support them with your prayers and your thoughts—but that you’ll continue to do the work.
Senator Runestad’s statement is as follows:
At the University of Michigan, after it was revealed that former undersecretary Martin Philbert was discovered using his position to coerce women working with him to have sex, a policy was put into effect that, “[a] Supervisor may not, implicitly or explicitly, initiate or attempt to initiate an Intimate Relationship with a Supervisee over whom they exercise supervisory authority.” The policy also stated that these relationships must be disclosed and a plan developed and monitored. Failure to report the relationship is a serious offense and disciplinary cause up to and including dismissal. University of Michigan President Schlissel was all about the implementation of this policy.
But then, recently reports surfaced that
President Schlissel had been fired by the university board for what the Detroit
News described as a series of inappropriate e-mails exchanged with a
subordinate employee.
I guess the good president adhered to the old maxim, What is good for thee is
not good for me. This all occurred on the heels of the University of Michigan
agreeing to pay $9.2 million to eight women whom former Provost Martin Philbert
allegedly sexually assaulted during his tenure. If that wasn’t enough,
yesterday I read in the Detroit News that no less than seven sex
scandals have emerged at the university under Schlissel. Need I remind all of
us here that October 5, just a few days after the Legislature completed its
work funding the state for this fiscal year, the University of Michigan
announced they had already inked a contract with President Schlissel on September
23. According to an October 20 Detroit News article entitled “UM
President Mark Schlissel’s exit deal among most ‘lucrative’ ever, experts say,”
President Schlissel negotiated the mother of all golden parachutes. In fact,
one expert in the article said it was not golden, it was a platinum parachute.
At the same time, the Legislature was still debating budgets and university
lobbyists were asking for increases in state tax dollars for the school,
President Schlissel had already fleeced the taxpayers of Michigan for at least
another $700,000 in new compensation. This deal could end up costing as much as
$10 million when all is said and done.
Mr. President, I’m concerned that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this kind of blatant abuse of taxpayer dollars by the leadership of many of our state’s universities. I believe that the overall administrative costs at our universities are far, far higher than the average citizen in this state would ever find acceptable. Folks, we have been robbed and the taxpayers of Michigan need representation. I propose that we send a message to these universities who are laughing at us as they take our money to pay out these outrageous platinum payouts to these chameleons and crooks.
Let’s put a bill on the Governor’s desk that ends the unconscionable robbery these universities are performing on another group of our students—our kids. As you know, some of the money paid to Dr. Schlissel and his irresponsible and unaccountable friends is coming from K-12 student funds, and in 2022 we sent over $360 million School Aid dollars to these reckless universities. Universities tell us one sob story after another about how they’re broke and they couldn’t possibly survive unless they take this money meant for the kindergarteners and other K-12 and send it instead to them. We must send them a strong message and end this raid by universities on public school funds.
Senator Geiss’ statement is as follows:
So we all know the tragedy that occurred
on November 30th at Oxford High and it still resonates across our state. What
you guys might not know or be aware of is that yesterday, for the second time
in two months, well the first time I didn’t have to rush home, but this time I
had to rush home because I got a text from my son that said, We’re on lock down
again, I love you. It’s the kind of message that you receive and your heart
sinks and you stop what you are doing, grab your coat, grab your stuff and
hightail it out of here or wherever it is that you are. The things that go
through your mind are, Are they okay? What’s going on? What are the updates? My
husband and I are on the phone, him trying to tell me, let me know what the
news was. Over and over again you’re wondering and it is devastating. The kids
are okay just so you guys know. They were released, they’re back in school
today. But again, the reason for the lockdown was the threat of gun violence,
to harm the student body, faculty, and staff that work there.
I want you guys to know, I want everyone here to know and understand this stuff is real and I’m not the only person in the state impacted. Of course every single parent at the high school my child goes to was impacted by this. This is something that is happening every day, over and over in high schools across this country, but in our state. I really hope as we get through our legislative weeks that we take some serious action around addressing mental health in school and those mental health supports. The kids are not okay and the fact they are kids who are making decisions to make these threats—our police department responded, we have a school resource officer in our school, so the response was quick and swift. However, we shouldn’t have been at that point so I urge us to be able to come together, to be able to make sure that we are providing adequate, more than adequate mental health resources and people so that our kids have someone to talk to and figure things out before they want to start turning to violence.
I know we talk a lot about hardening our schools from external threats, an external threat is one thing; when it’s coming from inside your school community, your school family, it’s a whole different level entirely. So I hope that is something that we can be focused on among the things, among the good things we could do for our communities. For our K through 12 students as making sure that we are putting in those resources, that investment, and getting those adult humans who can help them with whatever traumas it is. Adolescence is hard enough, we all remember, but to deal with traumas that are making them turn or want to turn to violence, that is incredibly disruptive and then causes more trauma amongst the other students.
