Inspire in us also a like vision that we, too, may labor for things beyond ourselves and that our lives may be dedicated to high purposes and grand horizons. Make us unafraid of hopes and dreams. Release us from cynicism and despair. Teach us to be realistic about our limitations, but to never lose hope in our potential to transcend them. Help us recognize the significance of these moments together, so we may open our eyes to the blessings of the past and the promise of the future.

Grant us courage for today and tomorrow. Amen.

Senate Resolution No. 3.

A resolution offered as a memorial to the life and accomplishments of Ted Gatzaros.

Whereas, Upon learning of his passing, we are deeply saddened by the loss of Ted Gatzaros, a passionate and devoted business and community leader and champion of Detroit. With great respect and admiration for his genuine love of Detroit and her citizens, we stand together today to extend our most sincere condolences to Ted’s family and many friends and colleagues; and

Whereas, Immediately upon his arrival to the United States from Greece at just 17 years old, Ted demonstrated remarkable qualities of initiative and sustained hard work that, together with his partner in business and in marriage, the love of his life, Maria, built a legacy of extraordinary accomplishments that span more than four decades—accomplishments that are shared today by their talented children, Nico and Ellena, Ellena’s husband Christos Moisides, and Ted’s and Maria’s three adored grandchildren; and

Whereas, Ted arrived in Detroit and enrolled at Wayne State University, where he began his more than forty-year love for his community. He was most well-known for his instrumental role in bringing casinos to Detroit; however, in addition, Ted’s devotion to restoring and protecting Detroit landmarks was unmatched. Among the structures to which he and his partners directed their efforts are the Fisher Building, the First National Building, and the wood timbered 1896 Ferry Seed Company warehouse. Today, the award-winning International Center Building in Greektown, tied together with the acclaimed boutique Atheneum Suites and the International Grand Ballroom, stand where the Ferry Seed Company warehouse once stood. Most recently, Ted, together with his son Nico, restored and opened the London Chop House—a restaurant the Detroit Free Press deemed “the best-known restaurant in Detroit history”; and

Whereas, Ted always had a smile and never forgot a name or a face. Undoubtedly, these simple, yet rare skills, together with the efforts of his adored partners, made him one of Detroit’s leading and successful restaurateurs and developers. Whether you are dining at Fishbone’s in St. Clair Shores, Southfield, or Greektown, or the London Chop House, you are certain to experience the friendliness and warm-heartedness for which Ted Gatzaros was known; and

Whereas, Ted’s generosity matched his entrepreneurial spirit, with him giving back to numerous civic and charitable organizations. His civic service included holding board seats on the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, the Detroit Medical Center, and the Central Business District Association and its Foundation. Both he and his wife Maria have generously donated time and funds to many causes, including the American Cancer Society, Cornerstone Schools, Forgotten Harvest, and Make-a-Wish Foundation. In September, 2012, Ted and Maria were both honored by Northwood University for their entrepreneurial contributions; and

Whereas, In addition to his talents in the business world, Ted was a remarkable cook who had culinary skills which would rival any of the great chefs. Always the welcoming hosts, Ted and his family entertained many friends in their home over the years, including neighbors, colleagues, elected officials, business leaders, and even a United States President. Much like his advice that was sought after by many, Ted’s honesty and often irreverent and cynical sense of humor will be recounted for years to come; and

Whereas, The life of Ted Gatzaros, as well as his generosity and love for community and the state of Michigan as a whole, cannot be summed up in words; but perhaps can be best symbolized by the legacy he leaves for all of us and future generations—the beautiful buildings and businesses in Detroit to which he devoted a lifetime; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we offer our words of praise and gratitude as a memorial for Ted Gatzaros. May his family be comforted by the unconditional love and affection he showed to them, as well as the memories of this fine man, his life’s work, and the many people whose lives he impacted; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to his loving wife Maria and the Gatzaros family as a token of our highest esteem.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Senator Meekhof moved that rule 3.204 be suspended to name the entire membership of the Senate and the Lieutenant Governor as co‑sponsors of the resolution.

The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

A moment of silence was observed in memory of Detroit business and community leader Ted Gatzaros.

Senator Richardville asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Richardville’s statement is as follows:

I’ve said many times that the best part about this job is the people we get to meet. This resolution is being offered today to give a tribute to the life of Ted Gatzaros. He was a passionate and devoted business and community leader and a champion in the city of Detroit.

Those of you who knew Ted know that he always had a smile and never forgot a name or a face. Undoubtedly, these simple yet rare skills, together with the efforts of his partners, made him one of Detroit’s leading and successful restaurateurs and developers. Whether you are dining at Fishbone’s in St. Clair Shores, Southfield, or Greektown, or the London Chop House, or a number of other restaurants, you are certain to experience the friendliness and warm-heartedness for which Ted Gatzaros was known.

His life, as well as his generosity and love for community and the state of Michigan as a whole, can’t be summed in words, but perhaps can be best symbolized by the legacy he leaves for all of us and for future generations—the beautiful buildings and businesses in Detroit to which he devoted his lifetime.

Tonight, we offer Senate Resolution No. 3 as a token of praise and gratitude for Ted Gatzaros and his life. May his family be comforted by the unconditional love and affection that he showed to them, as well as the memories of this fine man, his life’s work, and the many people whose lives he impacted.

Senator Proos offered the following concurrent resolution:

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 4.

A concurrent resolution to express support for the concept of preparing biennial state budgets.

Whereas, One of the key issues facing a legislature is how to organize most effectively the budget process. A whole series of elements go into deciding what is the best approach a state should use in addressing budgetary issues. A number of elements, including constitutional, statutory, and legislative rules, as well as standard operating procedures, go into structuring how the budgetary process is organized and implemented. One of the key components is the period of time for which the budget is effective—on an annual or a biennial cycle; and

Whereas, Individual states have utilized annual or biennial budgets at one time or another. The trend among state governments for the past two decades has been to abandon biennial budgeting for annual budgeting. Forty-four states practiced biennial budgeting in 1940, and about half as many do so currently. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, there is little evidence that either annual or biennial state budgets hold clear advantages over the other. However, there is strong evidence that biennial budgeting is more conducive to program review and evaluation. In a state like Michigan, which has faced economic stress over the past decade and has faced difficult decisions over raising revenues, it is incumbent upon the Legislature to examine approaches like a biennial budget to get a better handle on reviewing and evaluating state programs; and

Whereas, Too much time is spent by the Michigan Legislature and the executive branch in dealing with annual budget battles not to consider a biennial budget approach. It is conducive to long-term planning, as well as allowing more time for program review and evaluation, and is less expensive and time-consuming than annual budgeting; and

Whereas, A two-year budgeting process would remove a great deal of the uncertainty now facing state-supported entities. As it is now, schools and local units of government face significant challenges to their own budgets and planning when the state’s budget is completed late; and

Whereas, With more time for oversight under a biennial budget structure, particularly in the second year of the two-year cycle, the Legislature would be more vigilant in making sure programs operate as intended. This added attention to how public dollars are spent is clearly in order; and

Whereas, Biennial budgeting has been proposed and utilized to a limited extent in Michigan. In years past, the Legislature enacted biennial School Aid appropriation bills. Beginning with fiscal year 1994, Governor Engler proposed adoption of two-year appropriation bills for all state government to provide certainty and a planning base for those who receive state aid. More recently, Governor Snyder proposed a two-year budget for fiscal years 2012 and 2013. Although biennial appropriation bills were not passed by the Legislature in either case, these experiences may serve as a possible model and evidence of the Legislature’s serious effort; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we express support for the concept of preparing biennial state budgets; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the chair of the House Appropriations Committee, the Senate Majority Leader, the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, the Governor, and the State Budget Director.

Pursuant to rule 3.204, the concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
