Statements
The motion prevailed.
Senator Bayer’s statement is as follows:
I would just take a couple minutes of your time this morning to talk to you a little bit about our Michigan March for Our Lives students who are out on the steps of the Capitol doing a little rally. They’re here today, and they’re also going to visit with some of you—I hope you take the opportunity to meet with them.
March for Our Lives is a massive national movement across the country. Millions of students are engaged. Millions of students are asking us—actually, demanding of us—that we do something about the escalating gun violence epidemic in the country and here in Michigan.
There are many states across the country where legislators have enacted firearm safety laws, they’ve passed bills just like the ones we’ve introduced here. Those states have data, they have real evidence that proves that these safety laws reduce gun violence without taking guns away, just by promoting responsible gun ownership. Done by passing safety bills like those we’ve introduced here—safe storage, universal background checks, red flags.
So, I’m you asking again, as the people
who have the privilege of being able to do something to fix this and the
responsibility to protect the people of Michigan and the duty to represent our
own constituents, not special interests, our people who consistently and
overwhelmingly have been asking for this in poll after poll, year after year,
let’s get these bills passed. Let’s change the horrifying trajectory that we
are on. Let’s do our job now, protect our people, and let’s make it safe for
our kids to go to school again.
Senator Ananich’s statement is as follows:
Many folks I’ve worked with, whom I’ve served in my community, were truly shocked to read last week, or to hear last week, that our former colleague Woodrow Stanley passed away. What I’m going to say is going to sound almost a little silly to some but for most of my life, Mayor Woodrow Stanley was a large presence in my community. He was appointed to the city council in 1982, I believe, when I was in first grade, and throughout most of my time as a child growing up in Flint, he was either a city councilman or the mayor—and even longer than that, college and many years after. Like I said, what I’m going to say is going to sound silly but there are certain people—even though we all know at some point in time we all pass away—it’s hard to picture dying. Former Mayor and former State Representative Woodrow Stanley was one of those individuals. I just couldn’t picture or fathom the idea that someday he would not be here, and to lose him so quickly, so abruptly, shook many of us. In about 30 minutes, people who loved him, cared for him, his constituents, people from all over, will be participating in laying him to rest in our community back in Flint at Grace Emanuel Baptist Church, a church he did not attend but is so large that it will be one of the few places that can actually handle the amount of people who will be there.
When Woodrow was giving his farewell speech, I’ll quote from him, he said, “…my service here has reinforced my fundamental belief that when you strip away the labels, titles, regional reference, race, or party, we are mere flawed humans with frailties, hopes, and fears. I’ve also found that we are at our best when we see the common humanity in each of us.” We all forget and should remember those words at times in this chamber, and I’m going to do my best to try to remember that and use that sentiment more often.
I was thinking about it this morning, trying to think of the words I was going to say, and came across 1 Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” Most of us knew Woodrow Stanley as a former mayor, former city councilman, chairman of the Genesee County Board of Commissioners, a three‑term State Representative; some of you might have even known him as president of the Michigan Municipal League. He was a giant in our community, a giant in the Democratic Party, but I think those of us who know him even a little better knew him as a devoted husband to Reta, a devoted father to Heather and Jasmine, and I think as of the last number of years, a devoted grandfather.
He will be missed by those who loved him in his family, those he cared about when he served our community, and I just wanted to say from my family, both the Ananich family and many of my colleagues who encouraged me to say some words, that he will be missed. God bless him, and may he rest in peace.
Senator McBroom’s statement is as follows:
A few days ago, a judge in California stuck their nose into the business of Michigan again. As has been happening repeatedly over the last decade, when the Fish and Wildlife Service of the United States determines that science shows us that the wolf population has recovered sufficiently, in fact beyond the dreams and the goals set by the Fish and Wildlife Service, and that management ought to be returned to the states. And yet groups continue to forcibly litigate this issue—selectively choosing courts outside of the Midwest, outside of Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and went judge hunting for courts in D.C. or in California to force their will on the people of this state.
So what are we left with? We’re left with a population that has far exceeded the goals or the ecological needs—reasonable science would show us—for a wolf population in the Upper Peninsula. And what do we get for that? Unnecessary conflicts. Pets being killed. Cattle being affected. And the inability to protect those things. Our rights are being hindered. Our state sovereignty continues to be infringed on by courts, led by activists, against the science, led by the federal government who doesn’t do anything to actually manage the wolf population in the Upper Peninsula. Just let it go, let the people up there deal with the consequences, and we even hear that from the activists who consistently come into the Legislature and tell us—who live in the U.P.—if you don’t like it you should just move away. We love the U.P., we are so jealous that you get to have all these beautiful wolves running around, we wish we could be there. So if you don’t like it, get out. That’s what we hear repeatedly in committees around here. That’s why they go to California and get a judge to side with them.
High population of these animals, like any
high population of animals that’s left unmanaged, is not scientific and it’s
not even humane. It’s cruel, because what does it lead to? Starvation, disease,
and unnecessary conflicts that leave humans doing unmanaged interference. That’s
what we have going on right now. Why do people who claim to love science
continually go anti-science on this wolf issue? It’s clearly agenda-driven or
they wouldn’t keep on shopping for judges from far away. And when they talk
about the Upper Peninsula and the rights of the people up there—we’ve had
referendums on this. Over 70 percent of the people of the U.P. voted to have
state management and it’s not about hunting. That’s what people always want to
say, It’s about hunting. It’s not about hunting, hunting is a part of a
management strategy that has worked in America for conservation of species for
over 100 years with incredible successes.
Vibrant populations have made huge resurgences because we manage them and sometimes hunting is a part of that management. Sometimes it’s not. Moose has been on the game species list but we don’t hunt them, because their population is not ready for that yet. Maybe it never will be. Elk on the other hand? They are. Very limited, very narrow banded defined hunting for that. Other species have broad hunting usage and trapping usages. It depends on what the science tells us. That’s why the people adopted Proposal G in the ’90s, so we wouldn’t be whipsawed around by politics when it comes to managing these game species, but that we would utilize science for this. And the folks who go and sue us in California are not following science. So the people in the U.P. are whipsawed around, are we criminals for protecting our pets or aren’t we criminals? Am I allowed to protect my cattle or am I not allowed to protect my cattle? We don’t know, it’s back-and-forth so blooming often.
We need to take action, and I see three courses potentially. We either need to sue the federal government, that our rights are being infringed and get off of the list, make our own court case. We need to appeal the case that we just lost in California. Or we need Congress to get off of its butt and forcibly delist the wolves from Michigan like they did for Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho which has shown great success for their population.
