Rep. Dan Scripps, from the 101st District, offered the following invocation:

“Lord, as we gather to deliberate, we ask Your wisdom and Your compassion.

Lord, we seek Your guidance, remembering St. Paul’s instruction to James: ‘Be doers of the word and not hearers only. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his own face in a mirror. He sees himself, then goes off and promptly forgets what he looked like. But the one who peers into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres, and is not a hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, such a one shall be blessed in what he does.’

Lord, we ask that You focus our efforts on serving the people of this great state, aware of Your command that each of us should use whatever gift we have received to serve others, faithfully administering Your grace in its various forms.

And Lord, we ask that in our deliberations we take time to remember the poor, the hungry, the dispossessed - that we remember those too often forgotten, understanding that it is how we treat the least among us that is the truest reflection of our love for You.

Lord, we ask all of this in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.”

______

Rep. Agema, 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:

Although I support many programs in this budget, I voted against it because it includes funding for a new $100 million headquarters. I cannot justify spending this amount of money at a time when the state $1.7 billion budget shortfall and the governor recently laid off 100 state troopers to save money.

In my view, it is extremely irresponsible to spend taxpayer dollars on a new state police headquarters when the governor is letting out prisoners early and just fired 100 state troopers to save money.

Leasing the new headquarters will cost the state more than $100 million over the next 25 years. The lease on the current MSP headquarters only costs $1 per year and doesn’t expire until 2030.

The current headquarters, while in need of repair, is fully functional and structurally sound. Michigan State University has even considered moving its own police force into the building if the state decides to vacate.

In addition to cost concerns, the site of the new headquarters has also been criticized for being too small. The site does not have room for an emergency operations center, garage space to warehouse vehicles, or a helipad. It is also partially located in a floodplain.

Michigan’s attorney general recently ruled that the contract as written allows the state to get out of the lease if the Legislature does not appropriate funding for it.

My goal is to balance the state budget without raising taxes while still providing enough funds to protect essential services. Nowhere in that equation is there room for a new $100 million building that we do not need and cannot afford.

For these reasons, I cannot support this bill at this time.”

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

House Resolution No. 158.

A resolution to recognize October 2009 as Filipino American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, We are proud to join with the Philippine American community of Michigan and their families and friends as they celebrate contributions they have made throughout the entire state. This recognition is a reflection of unselfishness and commitment to the common good that is most commendable; and

Whereas, It is with pride and gratitude that we welcome this opportunity to salute the many ways in which the Philippine American community has given its time and energy to help whenever the need arose; and

Whereas, The Philippine American community of Michigan will continue to accomplish its goal to foster understanding through the development, promotion, and preservation of Philippine values, culture, and tradition. These concerned citizens have truly made a difference, and their professional and civic involvement will continue to enrich our state far into the twenty-first century; and

Whereas, The members of the Philippine American community give to the American people, and to the citizens of Michigan a very important gift; a rich culture based on traditional values of family, religion, and a strong work ethic. The American people and Philippine people have had a strong bond for generations. The political, cultural, and economic bond that we have, has been cemented by the mutual respect and admiration we have for one another; and

Whereas, The heritage of the Philippine people enriches our own culture; for America is a melting pot, and America’s culture is a rich blend of many cultures. This legislative body welcomes the heritage, culture, and contributions of the Philippine American community to our state and our nation; and

Whereas, Like their counterparts across the country, the Philippine American community in Michigan is committed to strengthening the public institutions that promote the cultural heritage of Filipinos, as well as eliminating prejudices, stereotypes, and ignorance. By promoting awareness of Filipino American contributions to social, economic, cultural, and political life in the United States, everyone can take great pride in their effective community service; now, therefore, be it;

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize October 2009 as Filipino American Heritage Month in the state of Michigan. We thank the Philippine American community on behalf of the many people who have benefited from their contributions. We commend everyone who has contributed to its success and thank them for the manner in which their members have strengthened Michigan

House Resolution No. 159.

A resolution to recognize September 15, 2009, through October 15, 2009, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, This month represents the anniversary of independence for Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua; and

Whereas, Each year the United States recognizes the economic, cultural and social contributions that Spanish-speaking peoples have brought to our nation including the gifts of law, religion, agriculture, art, music, education, technology, architecture, cuisine, theater and exploration; and

Whereas, Michigan is fortunate to count among its population a large concentration of citizens of Spanish and Latin American descent – including those who have lived in Michigan for generations and those who are new to the Great Lakes State – who contribute to Michigan’s economy and society through their commitment to professions, commerce, family and the arts; and

Whereas, Time and again throughout our nation’s history, Hispanic Americans have faithfully defended the principles of freedom and a representative government; and

Whereas, During the month spanning from September 15 through October 15, Michigan’s Hispanic-American community will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month through a series of special programs featuring Hispanic history, food, dance and art; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize the month of September 15, 2009, through October 15, 2009, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state of Michigan, and we encourage all citizens to recognize and applaud the many contributions made by these individuals to enhance the quality of life in this state.
