Resolutions
House Concurrent Resolution No. 12.
A concurrent resolution to vehemently oppose the transfer of mail processing operations from the Iron Mountain Processing and Distribution Center to the Green Bay Processing and Distribution Center in Wisconsin.
Whereas, The United States Postal Service has a long and venerable tradition of serving as a great equalizer between the people of our nation. Both the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the United States gave Congress the power to establish a system of post offices, and a Post Office Department was first established by the Second Continental Congress in 1775, with Benjamin Franklin appointed to serve as the Postmaster General. Throughout its 250-year history, the Post Office has chosen time and time again to prioritize service over profit, from President Washington’s support for the subsidization of stagecoaches in the 1780s, to the construction of money-losing postal routes to encourage settlement in the west during the mid-19th century, to the creation of the Pony Express to deliver the mail through extreme environments in 1860, to the elimination of price differences based on the distance a letter was to travel in 1863. While free home delivery began in cities in 1863, it was not initially offered in rural areas, though they paid the same rates. After initial experiments showed how happy rural customers were to be given the same attention as city-dwellers, rural free delivery became a permanent service in 1902. It is the mission of the United States Postal Service “to bind the Nation together through the personal, educational, literary, and business correspondence of the people”; and
Whereas, The Post Office is a service that we, as a society, have chosen to provide to our people. There is no constitutional mandate that the Post Office be run as a profitable business enterprise; to the contrary, our history shows that we have repeatedly used the Post Office to ensure that every American, no matter where they live, is connected through the post. The people can choose the level of postal service that they want the United States Postal Service to provide, and they can decide what costs they are willing to bear to provide that service; and
Whereas, Contrary to the desires of many that the United States Postal Service put service first, there are those who insist that it must be run like a business. The “Delivering for America” plan, published in March 2021, emphasizes the financial viability of the Postal Service, with a focus on raising enough revenue to cover their operating costs and fund new investments. The plan proudly proclaims that it will enable the United States Postal Service to operate with a positive net income, and the most recent report boasts that it has reduced projected ten-year losses from 160 billion dollars to 70 billion dollars. These publications read like a corporate marketing pitch, establishing goals such as a “more rational pricing approach,” a “stable and empowered workforce” and a “bold approach to growth, innovation and continued relevance.” What these profit-minded advocates seemingly fail to recognize is that lower-quality service and higher prices drive customers away, decreasing use of the postal service and thus decreasing revenue, while simultaneously undermining the Postal Service’s mission of binding the nation together; and
Whereas, The United States Postal Service’s focus on financial optimization has already had negative impacts on those living in rural areas, such as Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Local post offices have changed the time when mail is gathered for delivery from the afternoon to the early morning, meaning that a piece of mail dropped off during the day will remain at the post office for far longer before the shipping process begins. In practical effect, this adds one day to shipping times even while allowing the Postal Service to deny having done so for accounting purposes. Additionally, one-day Priority Mail Express shipping, which was available as recently as early January 2024, is no longer available from the UP to anywhere in Michigan; instead, citizens are being charged the same rate for two-day shipping. Combined with the change in collection time above, next-day shipping has essentially been transformed into three-day shipping. This is extremely problematic for businesses and health departments that need to collect samples of drinking water and have them delivered to a laboratory for bacterial testing within 24 hours of sampling. Delays in shipping also have negative consequences for patients who receive medications through the mail, for people who need to ensure their bills are paid on time, and for businesses delivering frozen foods such as the UP’s beloved pasties. Focusing too much on the postal network as a whole while ignoring the importance of timely local shipping is not modernization; it is regression. The people of the Upper Peninsula want what’s best for their communities, not what’s best for the pocketbooks of those in Washington; and
Whereas, In January 2024, the United States Postal Service announced plans to transfer some mail processing services, including outgoing mail operations, from the Iron Mountain Processing and Distribution Center in Kingsford, Michigan, to the Green Bay Processing and Distribution Center in Wisconsin. The Postal Service has justified this plan based on the fact that a majority of the mail and packages sent from the Iron Mountain area are destined for locations outside the local area. While this might make sense from the standpoint of the Postal Service as a nationwide business, it does not make sense for the people of the Upper Peninsula, for whom timely local delivery is essential. The notices that have been published about this plan assure that, while five craft employee positions will be eliminated, no management positions will be eliminated. But the notices also indicate that there will be reassignments, which means that some employees could be left without a job if they are unwilling to be reassigned to a post office far away. Furthermore, recent changes to the Iron Mountain facility may have led to inaccurate conclusions about the need for it, stacking the deck so that the evidence would support the conclusion the government was looking for. The capacity of the Green Bay facility to handle the mail from the Iron Mountain area is curiously left out of the government’s preliminary findings. When similar notices across the country all use identical, buzzword-riddled language about efficiency, cost-effectiveness, modern strategies, and “rightsizing” the postal workforce, it becomes difficult to trust that they have made a careful, informed decision about the proper level of services to provide at the Iron Mountain facility; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we vehemently oppose the transfer of mail processing operations from the Iron Mountain Processing and Distribution Center to the Green Bay Processing and Distribution Center in Wisconsin; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of Michigan, the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the United States Postmaster General.
The House of Representatives has adopted the concurrent resolution.
Senator Singh moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The concurrent resolution was adopted.
Statements
The motion prevailed.
Senator Runestad’s statement is as follows:
Today I reintroduced a bill to better protect vulnerable nursing home residents and to give their loved ones peace of mind by allowing them to install a video recording device in their rooms. Senate Bill No. 717 mirrors Senate Bill No. 77 of 2019 which was passed by the Legislature with bipartisan support, including unanimous support in this very chamber. Regrettably, Governor Whitmer pocket-vetoed the bill and has yet to acknowledge or explain why she made that unfortunate decision.
Sadly, the need for this important legislation has not gone away. It is a tragic reality that vulnerable seniors risk suffering in isolation and from physical abuse because of bad actors who masquerade as caregivers or otherwise gain access to these facilities. In a perfect world we wouldn’t need this legislation, but unfortunately abuse occurs in nursing homes so we must do what we can do to protect these residents. That is why it is imperative to return this legislation to the Governor’s desk for her signature. It is important to remember that Senate Bill No. 77 gained its momentum and support after an elderly nursing home resident was severely beaten by a 20-year-old man with coronavirus who was placed in the Westwood Nursing Center in Detroit under the Governor’s COVID-19 executive orders. The attack left a 75-year-old man with broken fingers, broken ribs, and a broken jaw. It was also caught on video and was shared by the media.
Allowing residents to place cameras in rooms will act as a powerful deterrent to abuse, enable communication with loved ones and help prevent future tragedies. Like its predecessor, Senate Bill No. 717 would not issue a mandate on nursing homes but would simply give residents the option to install a camera in their own room. Any roommates would need to sign off on this camera and signage acknowledging the camera’s presence would be required. Everyone deserves to be treated with decency and basic respect, especially our most vulnerable seniors who are confined to nursing care.
This bill also earned the support of leading advocates for seniors and long-term care patients. The Michigan Long Term Care Ombudsman has said residents should have the right to utilize these devices. AARP’s Michigan director has said protecting the health and well-being of nursing home residents and their property is something our state can easily bolster. And the president of the Association for Mature American Citizens Action has said voluntarily installing cameras and communication devices safeguards the well-being of vulnerable seniors.
Friends, better protecting Michigan’s nursing home residents should not be a partisan issue. I ask you to join me once again in unanimous support to send this important legislation to the Governor’s desk, this time for her to sign.
It was one year ago today that the MSU community—the state of Michigan—actually, our whole country—was impacted by a tragedy when a gunman came to the campus and took the lives of three students, wounded five more, and impacted a generation of Michigan State students, faculty, staff, and members of our community.
A year later, the community is still mourning and finding a way forward. Days after, hours after the tragedy, we had the opportunity to commemorate and honor the names of those three victims—Arielle Anderson, Brian Fraser, Alexandria Verner. They were young students who had their whole lives and potential in front of them. When you talk to their families, you talk to their classmates, you talk to their teachers and faculty, they all had incredible paths they were trying to bring forward. Unfortunately, in a day of tragedy, they saw that lost. As the community came together over the days to come after that event, mourning happened in a lot of different ways.
We also spent time thanking those first responders—we had over 25 different jurisdictions that came to Michigan State, who worked that evening and late into the night. For those who were listening to the police scanner that night saw the poise and dedication of our 9-1-1 dispatchers. Doctors and nurses who weren’t even on call immediately went to our two local hospitals because they knew that they would be needed. And in the days to come, behavioral health specialists from around the state came to Michigan State—some as part of programs, some just on their own, because they knew that students, faculty, our community needed places to grieve and have the opportunity to be heard. Many of our churches, our synagogues, and our mosque temples have opened up their moments of time for discussion and healing, and we had vigils.
At the same time, a group of students who were mourning, who were angry, also came to the Capitol. They sat down in front of the Capitol, they met with our offices, and they demanded action. They were upset with us because of things that past Legislatures had not done. They did not know a path forward, but they knew something had to be done and they demanded action. We did pass a number of laws, whether they were the red-flag laws, our safe-storage laws, mandatory background checks. We also put resources into the budget for additional school safety and mental health programs, and we also prohibited those of domestic violence from buying, owning, and transporting firearms. All of those were part of a process wanting to move forward on some sensible gun-violence legislation and policies.
As we talked to the students and faculty as this anniversary was coming, people are still mourning. They are trying to figure out how to support one another. Our local schools were closed today, our university was closed today. There’s a lot of opportunities for us to come together. ASMSU—the student government—in conjunction with Students Demand Action, Sit Down Michigan, and the Center for Community Engaged Learning have planned a day of service today, where they want to go out and provide volunteer support for community action to honor those three students who we had lost.
A number of counseling supports are available throughout the community at Brody Hall, at the main library and international center, at the Hannah Community Center, throughout this day for all our residents to take that needed help if they so choose. We have a number of faith leaders who will be at the alumni memorial chapel throughout the day, so regardless of your faith you will have an opportunity if you need and want to, to mourn in that fashion. There’s actually therapy dogs at the Eppley Center for those who want to be with those animals during this time of need.
Tonight, at 7 p.m., there will be a vigil out in front of the Sparty Statue as the community and the region come together. On your desks, the student leaders have asked us to take a look at these luminaries—they are a green candle that’s in these white bags. What they are doing throughout campus today is actually writing on those bags a note, a message either to the students they’ve lost or feelings that they have, and lighting that green candle in those bags. We’re asking those of you who are comfortable doing that to participate with them, whether it’s in your office, but across our campus and community at 7 p.m. we will be lighting those whether you are in-person for the vigil or not.
I just want to acknowledge the pain that a lot of us felt that day because so many of us, whether we were staff or legislators, we had children at MSU, nieces and nephews there. We have close friends and family who are part of that community. As that community mourns today, during that anniversary, I just want to remember those families, and especially the three people who we lost—Arielle Anderson, Brian Fraser, Alexandria Verner. Our hearts, our prayers, and our thoughts are with those families today as they continue their grieving process and as we move forward as a state, as a university, and as a community.
A moment of silence was observed in memory of the victims of the shooting at Michigan State University.
