"O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight, on whom in affliction I call my comfort by day, my song in the night, my hope, my salvation, my all and all. We stand in Thy presence with great reverence and adoration. Let us first thank Thee for the beauty of the earth and the glory of the day, for all the good things of life, for this nation and this great state of Michigan. Now, Lord, on behalf of this august body of government leaders, we invoke the divine guidance in their deliberations, that they do justly love mercy and walk humbly to the end, that we the people will have a more perfect and happy existence. Amen."

______

Rep. Gosselin, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

It's not our money!

A few weeks ago we learned the state has overcharged taxpayers more than $600 million this year, and expects to overcharge them $500 million next year. In the peculiar Orwellian phrasing typical of government this overcharge is called a 'surplus,' and rather than returning it to the gypped customer right away, as any ethical business would do, we immediately began looking for ways to spend it. And found them.

To be fair, we have decided to return some of the money through a cut in the rate of the Single Business Tax, and it is good we're moving in the right direction on that job-destroying tax. But the public reaction to the proposed 23-year phaseout of that tax was summed up by one Oakland citizen who said 'I'll be dead before that tax goes away.'

The members of the majority caucus in this House were not elected to grow government, but that's what we're doing. Economists estimate that inflation over the last few years has been one percent per year or less, and wholesale prices have actually declined. Yet next year's proposed budget started out by increasing state spending by 3.0 percent, and that was before the legislature piled on extra spending for pet programs and projects.

Now we discover extra money due to the overcharge, and behind closed doors deals are made to increase the growth of government next year by another 1.7 percent, for a grand total of 4.7 percent over the current year!

Where is all this extra money coming from? Studies by the Senate Fiscal Agency comparing state expenditures and revenue by county show a trend in which Oakland County will soon be a $1 billion donor to the rest of the state, if we have not achieved that status already. In 1997 Oakland County citizen subsidized the state $715, paying $2,731 in taxes but getting back just $2,016 in services from the state, and the subsidy has probably grown since then.

Meanwhile, Oakland County is suffering a traffic congestion crisis due to inadequate state investment in transportation infrastructure, and the state is doing absolutely nothing to address that problem.

This is wrong. It's not our money. We should give it back."

______

Rep. Middaugh moved that House Committees be given leave to meet during the balance of today's session.

The motion prevailed.

The Speaker Pro Tempore called Associate Speaker Pro Tempore Patterson to the Chair.

Quorum Call

Rep. Middaugh questioned the presence of a quorum and moved that the roll be called and printed in the Journal.

A resolution honoring Frank Miracola.

Whereas, It is a pleasure to offer this resolution to Frank Miracola commemorating the years he has given to the Macomb Schools. With the record that this talented and energetic teacher has compiled over the years, this is a most fitting symbol of excellence in an endeavor of great importance to every citizen, business, and institution in this state--the education of our young people; and

Whereas, Michigan has a long tradition of belief in the value of education. In his years as an educator, Frank Miracola has followed the noble pursuit of educating young people, a tradition that always has been an important part of Michigan's heritage. In his work at Macomb Schools, he has instilled life-long skills and helped build self-confidence in thousands of youngsters who have grown to adulthood as capable and upstanding citizens. Though the tools used by modern-day teachers such as Frank Miracola are far different than the slates and one-room schools of yesteryear, Frank Miracola has much in common with teachers from our pioneer era who worked so hard to build the future of this state through its children; and

Whereas, In receiving this resolution, Frank Miracola is being singled out for his efforts in several areas.

House Resolution No. 126.

A resolution proclaiming the 175th anniversary of the naming of the Township of Clinton, Macomb County, Michigan.

Whereas, It is with great pride that we join with the good people of Clinton Township in celebrating its 175th anniversary on July 17, 1999. As the residents of this community gather to honor those who established this Township and to reaffirm their commitment for the future, we commend them and thank them for all that the Township of Clinton has meant in helping to define the character of our beloved Great Lake State; and

Whereas, First named in 1824, Clinton Township can trace its roots to as far back as 1782, when David Zeisberger founded a Moravian missionary settlement among the Chippewa Native Americans who lived in the area. Prior to becoming Clinton Township, the area was called Huron and the river that flowed through it was called the Huron River. To avoid confusion with the Huron River that flows into Lake Erie, the name Clinton was selected on July 17, 1824, by the Michigan Territorial government to honor one of the most famous Americans of his time, DeWitt Clinton of New York. DeWitt Clinton--a candidate for President, Governor of New York and Mayor of New York City--is best remembered as the promoter and developer of the Erie Canal that was instrumental in opening Michigan for settlement in the 1800's. Today, the Charter Township of Clinton is proud to be the most populated township in the State of Michigan, and one that strives to remain a quality place to live, work and raise a family. It is also proud of its wide offering of recreational, educational and cultural opportunities, summer concert programs and diverse and vibrant neighborhoods; and

Whereas, In observing an anniversary like the people of Charter Township of Clinton are, we all learn a little more about our hometown. In recalling the struggles of the founders, we gain new insights into how our neighborhoods, businesses, churches and schools developed as they did. For the children of Clinton Township, there are even greater rewards, as they discover that they are part of traditions of citizenship that will be with them all their lives. With the wonderful gifts they share, the people of the Charter Township of Clinton certainly have much reason for thanks and for optimism; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of the Michigan House of Representatives encourage all residents, business people and visitors of the Charter Township of Clinton to recognize and celebrate this historic milestone on July 17, 1999, in ways that heighten civic pride and inspire further preservation of the historical, cultural and natural characteristics that make the Charter Township of Clinton a most enchanting place; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the officials of the Charter Township of Clinton as a token of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Middaugh moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

House Resolution No. 127.

A resolution to support the Ready to Learn Leadership Summit.

Whereas, Brain research demonstrates conclusively that early brain development and later capacity for learning is largely determined by quality, caring interactions with infants and young children, or lack thereof; and

Whereas, Healthy intellectual, social, and emotional development of young children requires the formation of stable, loving relationships with parents and other care givers; and

Whereas, Children are greatly prepared for school if they experience love and respect, exposure to language and opportunities to play and explore; and

Whereas, Children are harmed in their development if they experience neglect, abuse, and exposure to toxic substances; and

Whereas, Longitudinal studies have shown that children who enter kindergarten are better prepared through positive, early education and care experiences. These children have a far greater chance of improved educational outcomes, higher rates of graduation, better preparedness to enter the workforce, and the reduction in need for special education, welfare, corrections, and other remedial services; and

Whereas, All sectors of society are influenced by the quality of early childhood education and care in the state, and all sectors are able to influence the quality of children's development; and

Whereas, The goals of the state of Michigan and the Legislature include workforce development, enhancing educational outcomes, reduction of crime, and welfare reform; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That participants of the Ready to Learn Leadership Summit are urged to commit to developing a universal, high quality system of early childhood education and care, with costs and initiative to be shared by the private and public sectors. The Summit has as its measure of success or failure the extent to which all children in Michigan enter kindergarten ready to succeed; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the organizers of the Ready to Learn Leadership Summit as a token of our support for this worthy endeavor.

Of the 20,000 members of the Military Order of the World Wars, the Detroit membership exemplifies the organization's highest principals of promoting patriotic education and supporting traditional American values; and

Whereas, Founded in 1919, holding their first national convention in Detroit, Michigan, the Military Order is an organization which holds that it is nobler to serve than to be served. It was therefore established to promote the welfare of our nation as a whole. Because it is clearly not a self-seeking organization, The Order is widely respected and listened to throughout all branches of government and across the country; and

Whereas, The Order provides an opportunity for commissioned officers of all services to unite in a strong program for national security and good citizenship. The Order originated Army Day, now Armed Forces Day, to commemorate the services' birthday with appropriate ceremonies and open houses for the public; and

Whereas, Heidi Jacobus serves as an outstanding example of successful entrepreneurship in a woman-owned business, surmounting considerable obstacles to establish and maintain a cutting-edge business. She has made outstanding and significant contributions to the Washtenaw County area, and provides a model for other women seeking to establish themselves in business; and

In addition, the State of Michigan featured Ms. Jacobus and Cybernet in its 1999 multi-million dollar worldwide TV and print advertising campaign designed to attract new companies to the state; and

Whereas, Cybernet has moved beyond government-backed research and into commercial product development and investment. Examples include the company's NetMAX network server software package based on Unix-like platforms such as Linux, and Cybernet's investment in Immersion Corporation of San Jose, where Cybernet exchanged key intellectual property and patents for a significant ownership stake in the fast-growing Silicon Valley company, where Ms. Jacobus also plays an active role through their Board of Directors; and

Whereas, Ms. Jacobus has been a significant contributor to the Small Business Association of Michigan, was a founder of the Small Business Technology Coalition, and is a speaker at the 1999 annual National Association of Women Business Owners conference.

House Resolution No. 132.

A resolution honoring Judge Pat M. Donofrio.

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that Judge Pat M. Donofrio has put forth on behalf of the citizens of the 16th Judicial Circuit Court, Macomb County, that we offer this expression of our appreciation for his continued legal excellence. As the legal community of Macomb County recognizes the loyalty and devotion to public service of this conscientious individual, we add our sentiments of gratitude for a job well done; and

Whereas, In years of service to the people of the 16th Judicial Circuit Court, Macomb County, Judge Pat M. Donofrio has been working in the public arena during an era of great change. With the personal sense of duty that Judge Donofrio brings to work each day, however, he has been able to meet challenges with enthusiasm and a genuine interest in efficiency in this community.

Donofrio's work, as well as others in the judicial branch who have witnessed his fine example; and

Whereas, There can be little doubt that the record of Judge Pat M. Donofrio in his responsibilities as Presiding Judge, Civil/Criminal Division will continue to reap rewards for the people of Macomb County over the years to come.

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body join with the citizens of Macomb County in saluting Judge Pat Donofrio in acknowledgment of his outstanding years in legal service; and be it further

House Concurrent Resolution No. 42.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to adopt and submit to the states for ratification an amendment to the United States Constitution to prohibit the desecration of the American flag.

Whereas, The American flag holds a unique place of respect and affection for almost all Americans. This symbol of our shared ideals and aspirations has taken on greater meaning over the years through the suffering of the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for their country; and

Whereas, In recent years, there has been considerable debate over the idea of extending constitutional protection to the flag. The debate centers on what constitutes freedom of expression and free speech. In this discussion, it is important to realize that a prohibition on flag desecration would not eliminate other avenues of expression or protest. According special status to our most cherished symbol would only accord due recognition to a unique component of our national identity; and

Whereas, The American people have strong feelings for our flag. Thoughtful citizens do not equate taking the positive step of providing protection for the flag with removal of freedom of speech any more than laws generally provide acceptable limits of behavior for the common good; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to adopt and submit to the states for ratification an amendment to the United States Constitution to prohibit the desecration of the American flag; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Veterans Affairs.
