Rabbi Matt Zerwekh of Temple B’Nai Israel of Kalamazoo offered the following invocation:
Avinu Sh’bashamayim, our God in heaven, we pray this morning that You watch our state leaders and help to guide them as they strive to serve the good people of Michigan. These leaders have been called to public service for many of the reasons others are called to a life of religion: a desire to do good for their world and for their communities. Out of Your teachings, O God, Your children—Jews, Christians, and Muslims—have found impetus to protect the vulnerable—the widow, the orphan, and those unable to protect themselves.
Lord God, as we entrust our state leaders to live up to the challenge of putting aside pettiness or pride, partisanship or perceived differences in the interest of common good, we put our trust in You to help to guide their hearts to do not only what is easy, but what is right. In a time of great change and uncertainty, significant challenges, and significant hurts, we pray that our leaders be guided by what they have learned from You, O God, that we are all children of one God, united in our humanity, and responsible to one another.
May the words of their mouths and the meditations of their hearts reflect the true essence of Your teachings from the Torah, the apostles, and the Qur’an. Though the source may differ, the message is the same: to love our neighbors as ourselves.
We thank You today, O God, for allowing us to reach this day and this moment, for watching over us, and for guiding these Senators in living up to the true ideals of faith, those that require grace and compassion, not division or judgment.
As we pray today, we ask You for Your continued partnership as this body strives to engage in tikkun olam—repairing the world. Let them help to repair our world, to help our state to heal wounds, build trust, and truly watch over and protect all of the citizens of our state. In Your name we pray. Amen.
The President pro tempore, Senator Schuitmaker, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Department of State Police
February 1, 2016
On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the Michigan Automobile Theft Prevention Authority (ATPA), it is a pleasure to present the 2015 Annual Report, which shows motor vehicle thefts declined by 11.5 percent in 2014 and 56.9 percent over the last ten years.
The ATPA’s success in the battle against motor vehicle theft is the direct result of the dedication and efforts by law enforcement teams, prosecutors’ offices, and non-profit organizations funded through the ATPA. These highly-motivated individuals often go above and beyond the call of duty to recover stolen vehicles and arrest those responsible. As you read the success stories contained in this report, you will find many instances where grantees worked collaboratively to solve crimes.
Some highlights of the report are as follows:
• Michigan motorists are saving $69 per insured vehicle as a result of lower thefts.
• In fiscal year (FY) 2015, the ATPA teams conducted 2,012 arrests and were involved in the recovery of 5,350 vehicles or parts, with an estimated value of $41 million.
• Since its inception in 1986, the ATPA has reported a total of 66,485 arrests and recovered 97,062 vehicles or parts worth an estimated $825 million.
• In FY 2015, the return on investment of the ATPA funds was $6.76 for every $1 spent.
In FY 2015, 15 teams (consisting of 35 law enforcement agencies), four prosecutors’ offices, and four non-profit organizations received ATPA grant funding. These grantees continue to make motor vehicle theft prevention a high priority. Without the steadfast commitment of local, county, and state participants in this program, the ATPA would not be successful in reducing motor vehicle thefts throughout the state of Michigan.
Sincerely,
Kriste Etue
Director

Statements
Senator Knezek asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Knezek’s statement is as follows:
Colleagues, earlier today I introduced Senate Bill No. 734, legislation that would repeal Michigan’s emergency manager law. I don’t need to explain how unpopular emergency managers have been in our state. As many of us know, a healthy majority of Michiganders voted to get rid of the law back in 2012. Regardless, the Legislature and this Governor ignored the will of the people and signed it back into law, this time with an appropriation making it referendum-proof. The entire process was wholly undemocratic.
Fitting, I suppose, because emergency managers are not elected officials, even if they act like them. They’re not held to the same standards, and they’re not subject to the checks that should help keep them honest and accountable. Their contracts even include hold-harmless provisions absolving them from future blame. In the event of a lawsuit, the state is required to defend the emergency manager, the costs of which are then passed on to the cash-strapped municipality or school district they’re supposedly trying to help. The bottom line is that emergency managers don’t answer to anyone. You can’t have tiny dictators living in a world governed solely by spreadsheets, overruling locally-elected officials whenever they deem it fiscally prudent.
On the whole, emergency managers have been so focused on balancing checkbooks that they’ve neglected the services people need to survive. When you forget that running a city or a state isn’t just about financial solvency, people get hurt. People die. Children’s futures fall through the cracks. Look at Flint. An entire city was affected by lead in their water. More than 9,000 children have been—and may continue to be—exposed to a potent neurotoxin. Despite all of the state’s interventions, almost all of which were too little too late, most people still can’t drink the water. All of that could have been prevented if one person hadn’t had the carte blanche authority to make decisions.
That same person who traumatized Flint is now running the Detroit Public Schools system, and he’s not doing well there either. You’ve seen the pictures. Kids are struggling to learn in moldy, water-damaged, overcrowded, and rat-infested classrooms, some without heat, and many more without textbooks. When the teachers complained, the emergency manager refused to meet with the union. When teachers took to the streets to fight for safe learning environments for their students, the emergency manager signed a snitch order into the teacher rulebook that not only made it against the rules to protest, but also made it a punishable offense to fail to report a protest. Rather than listening to the teachers and fixing obvious problems, the emergency manager found it prudent to sweep everything under the rug. The Detroit Public Schools employees and the parents who send their children to Detroit schools should not have to resort to a lawsuit to ensure their concerns are heard in good faith.
It’s time for the majority to show the people of Michigan that it’s willing to listen and learn from its mistakes. To prevent future disasters, we must acknowledge that the emergency manager law was a failed experiment. Supporting this legislation is a vote for local control and for encouraging collaboration between elected officials and state-appointed experts who can help fix the challenges our cities and our school districts are facing.
