“Dear God,
I want to thank You for the privilege to talk to You in this place this morning.
I pray that You would guide these leaders before me that You have put in this place.
I pray You would help them care for the people of this state with a servant’s heart.
I pray that somehow today You make Yourself very real to each of them and give them Your wisdom.
I pray for each of their families and the communities in which they represent.
May Your protective hand be on our state and Your blessings be appreciated. And we will give You thanks.
In the precious Name of Jesus,
Amen.”
Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 28.
A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for the Honorable Thomas Brennan, former Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court.
Whereas, This body was saddened to learn of the passing of Judge Thomas Brennan, the eighty-first justice of the Michigan Supreme Court and founder of the Thomas M. Cooley Law School. He was an engaged legal and creative thinker and left an indelible imprint on the Michigan system of jurisprudence; and
Whereas, Thomas Brennan graduated from Detroit Catholic Central High School and the University of Detroit, earning his law degree from the University of Detroit Law School in 1952. There were no limits to his dreams in his multi-faceted career, as attorney, politician, judge, and educator. He worked as an attorney and became active in state politics, running multiple times for legislative seats, before being elected to sit on the Common Pleas Bench in 1961. He was later appointed, then elected, to the Wayne County Circuit Court; and
Whereas, At the urging of Governor Romney, Justice Brennan ran for and was elected to the Michigan Supreme Court in 1966 at age 37, the youngest justice in state history. Later, he led his judicial colleagues as Chief Justice, also the youngest ever; and
Whereas, Justice Brennan founded the Cooley Law School in 1972 and resigned from the Supreme Court to serve as its first dean and president for the next 20 years. He mentored many future attorneys and was extremely proud of the success of Cooley’s students, faculty, and staff as they collaborated to learn and teach the law and its practice. With a philosophy of better access to legal education, Justice Brennan imparted legal knowledge, skills, and ethics to generations of students. Cooley Law School was the second largest law school in the country in 2002, when Justice Brennan retired; and
Whereas, In later years, Justice Brennan became an author and blogger. His works, Judging the Law Schools and Starting a Law School, imparted his ideas on using data to rank law schools and the act of creating, founding, and launching an institution. His insightful blog, oldjudgesays, was online for about ten years and enjoyed by many; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Justice Thomas Brennan and his commitment, courage, and ingenuity; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Brennan family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

Although America was unprepared for war, our steadfast resolve and courage quickly prepared us to do what must be done in defense of our country. The sacrifices of our brave military helped ensure peace around the globe and thrust America into a crucial role of being world leader for democracy; and
Whereas, We remember those fallen Americans, our dead and wounded, and those young Americans who survived and continued to serve this great country in and out of uniform; and
Whereas, We remember that America’s freedom and way of life is sacred and was purchased at a very high price and can be threatened at any time. Our strength and courage and devotion to America’s founding principles are worth defending at all costs; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare December 7, 2018, as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan. We continue to keep the resolve of those military personnel we have loved and lost by remembering the sacrifices made at Pearl Harbor.
The motion prevailed and the substitute (H-1) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Garrett, Cochran, Ellison, Geiss, Howrylak, Hughes, Liberati, Sneller, Sowerby and Wittenberg offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 456.
A resolution to declare December 24-31, 2018, as Holiday Driver’s Safety Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, According to the Commercial Vehicle of Safety Alliance, a total of 3,852 people died in large truck crashes in 2015. Sixteen percent of these deaths were truck occupants, 69 percent were occupants of cars and other passenger vehicles. Many of those accidents are the direct result of the drivers – both truck and bus drivers, as well as the passenger-vehicle drivers operating unsafely around them; and
Whereas, According to Ezine articles, every year during the holiday season, television, radio, newspapers and others talk a lot about the hazards of drunk driving and remind us to be careful. Extra police are on the streets and many cities set up sobriety checkpoints to catch drunk drivers on nights when there are likely to be more parties; and
Whereas, This extra focus reduces the number of alcohol-related traffic accidents and makes all of us safer on the road during the holidays. However, drunk drivers aren’t the only hazard on the road during the holidays. While most of us would never dream of getting behind the wheel drunk, we could still be creating serious dangers without thinking about it; and
Whereas, During this holiday season, as Ezine articles acknowledge, the distraction of juggling normal responsibilities with shopping, parties, and extra school events can make a normally safe driver a literal wreck. Even if you are always calm and collected, remember that other drivers may be more on edge than usual and take these precautions; and
Whereas, The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving. 1 out of every 4 car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan cares about the safety of its residents and drivers; and joins the Commercial Vehicle of Safety Alliance and other interested agencies and organizations in urging Michigan residents to be careful driving during this holiday season; and
Whereas, It is encouraged that during the festive times of holidays, that drivers enjoy the splendor and beauty of our Pure Michigan without incident, accident or fatality; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare December 24-31, 2018, as Holiday Driver’s Safety Awareness Week in the state of Michigan. We urge all citizens to observe this momentous occasion.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. LaFave, Chatfield, Cambensy and Dianda offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 457.
A resolution to encourage the construction of a peaking power plant in the Upper Peninsula.
Whereas, Some residents of the Upper Peninsula pay energy costs significantly higher than the rest of the state; and
Whereas, The construction of a new power plant in the eastern Upper Peninsula would decrease the cost of electricity transmission, increase grid reliability, allow for greater economic development, create jobs, and add to the tax base; and
Whereas, With the assistance of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), Michigan has identified a location in the Upper Peninsula where the construction and operation of an additional natural gas-fired peaking power plant would lead to lower overall electricity costs and enhance grid reliability, while requiring minimal further infrastructure investment; and
Whereas, Cloverland Electric Cooperative has indicated to MISO that it is exploring the construction of a peaking power plant in the Upper Peninsula; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we encourage electric utilities to continue to expeditiously explore the construction of a peaking power plant in the Upper Peninsula; and be it further
Resolved, That we encourage the Michigan Agency for Energy and Michigan Public Service Commission to provide any technical assistance needed during the exploration and construction of a peaking power plant in the Upper Peninsula; and be it further
Resolved, That we encourage MISO to prioritize and expedite any request to approve the construction of a peaking power plant in the Upper Peninsula; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Executive Director of the Michigan Agency for Energy, the commissioners of the Michigan Public Service Commission, and the Chief Executive Officer of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Michigan Competitiveness.

The motion prevailed.
Rep. LaSata:
“Thank you Mr. Speaker, good afternoon friends and colleagues, my speech today will be much like my time in the House, short but sweet. My first real exposure to the Michigan House of Representatives came 20 years ago in 1998 when my husband Charlie was elected State Rep for the 79th District. We all know how busy State Reps are, but he was home enough that we had one child for each of the three terms he served. We had one child when he started and 4 by the time he was term-limited. Thank goodness for term limits!
It is an incredible honor to be elected to the Michigan House of Representatives. Each time I walk on this floor I still get a tingling feeling down my back. I didn’t come to the House with the intent of making friends, I have a dog, but I did. Having my seat located on the frontier, my seatmate, Rep. Calley and I have been instrumental in holding the line, even though Rep. Hoadley has food that periodically entices us over to the other side; we always find our way back. Rep. Calley has been a great seatmate. She is a beautiful bright woman that does not need me speaking for her, but deserves a seat at the table that makes the decisions for the caucus. My friends Reps. Hoadley and Rabhi, thank you for taking the time to talk, and advise in areas that I may not understand. Senator elect Jeremy Moss, thank you for being a friend and I look forward to working with you in the Senate. To my Republican colleagues, Reps. Griffin, Allor, and Wentworth, thank you for being my friends, I really enjoy our conversations. Women in the Republican caucus, continue to fight for leadership roles, after all, this is 2018.
To my colleagues who are term-limited and ending their careers in the legislature, thank you for your service to the Great State of Michigan and best of luck as you return to your community to continue your service. To my colleagues who are continuing in the legislature after January 1st, I look forward to working with you as I move to the Senate to make our Michigan an even better place to live, work and raise a family.
Thank you Mr. Speaker.”
Rep. Pagel:
“It has certainly been an honor and privilege to serve the 78th District in Southwestern Michigan for the past 6 years in this great institution. This winds up 24 years of service for me in elected office, which I have always seen as a way to contribute to the larger community out of gratitude for the blessings that I myself have received in life. My father-in-law had a very similar career in public service, and my dad served for decades in local government. I’d like to take a moment to tell you a little about my mom and dad. They are gone now, but surely anything of significance that I ever accomplish in life must be in large part credited to their account.
Bob Pagel and Eleanor Schaenfeld grew up on fruit farms in Southwestern Michigan, both being descendants of German farm families. In their lives they watched as farms changed from horse, oxen and mule power to tractors, forklifts and modern mechanical harvesters. They met at the main social venue of that time and place, the Junior Farm Bureau. They married young and started a family that grew to include two daughters and two sons. Their story truly exemplifies the American dream. Starting with basically nothing, they borrowed to buy a farm and a tractor and a sprayer and a truck and began fruit farming. They had going for them all the essential ingredients for success in this great country: Determination, faith, strong values and a tremendous work ethic. Over the years they built up a very successful farm operation. Bob had never had the opportunity to attend college, and believe it or not, Eleanor never even had the chance to attend high school. They were both highly intelligent, as I’m sure you would all assume, and they saw that all their kids received college degrees and got off to great starts in life. Everything that I am I owe to them.
I didn’t know what I was getting in to when I first came here. I didn’t know that being a moderate Republican would place me so far out of step with so many of my colleagues – heck, I didn’t even know I WAS a moderate. I will make this promise, however, that when we Moderates come back to dominance in the political world, we will be very gracious and tolerant towards all you crazy extremists!
I didn’t know that I would end up spending so much time and energy working in the area of Corrections, but that has been a great and rewarding area to work in. I didn’t know, coming here with lots of leadership experience in the area of K12 education that my views would place me directly in the crosshairs of that famous and powerful family on the west side of the state. I am so proud to have stood my ground on educational policy and funding issues (and thanks so much, by the way, to Bethany Wicksall for providing great FACTS to me). John McCain, a famous moderate in his own right, said that standing up for what you believe is even more important when you find yourself standing alone. I still don’t believe that the famous family is taking the right approach. And I’m very proud to have been supported by so many dedicated education professionals in my district, even though their voices are often not respected around here.
One other thing I didn’t know upon coming here was some of the truly great people that I would get to know and to appreciate working with. Representatives David Rutledge, Amanda Price, John Walsh and Joe Haveman come to mind. And it is so fitting in many of these farewell speeches that we recognize the staff, the sergeants, the clerks, the lobbyists, Alice and all the others who keep this place running smooth despite the revolving door of often ill-equipped legislators who pass through. I, for one, am especially grateful for the kindnesses and the advice and help I have received from so many fine people here. Robin Risko has been an indispensable help to me in working on the Corrections budget. And Kyle Kaminski and Director Heidi Washington have been so excellent to work with also. It is perhaps my greatest regret in leaving that I won’t be able to work for more progress in the area of criminal justice reform.
I have worked under three Speakers of the House, all good men, and all to whom I have caused headaches as they have tried to get my vote on various issues. I’ll just say that I must not have ever been very good at playing ‘Follow the Leader’, and I never realized just how darned important that skill would be for this job! I naively thought that all 110 of us were supposed to be more leaders than followers. So, I apologize to the three of you for the trouble I caused, and I admit you guys treated me pretty well in light of everything.
I have enjoyed the help of great office staff. Ben Eikey I thank for his work on a bill that has changed many lives in our state in a very positive way. My current staff – Lauren Bunn I thank for hard work on constituent issues, especially for some of those ‘frequent flyers’ who demand so much. Lauren your positive attitude has been a real blessing. And Tori Kletke, who has been with me the longest, I’m just very, very thankful for you – for all your work and for your friendship and support. You are awesome.
To my family – I’m sorry for what you had to endure in my last campaign, but thanks for never losing faith. Thanks to my kids, my pride and joy in life – Ashley and Jeremy who are here today, and Hannah watching from Wyoming and Nate from Alabama. I only hope that the example I have set for you somehow compares positively with the example my dad gave to me. To my wonderful wife, Sue, I certainly could not be here without your love, support, understanding, patience and encouragement. I love you.
To everyone here, so many of whom I could and should mention, thank you for all the kindness you have shown to Bob and Eleanor’s second son.”
By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Comments and Recommendations
Rep. Kosowski:
“It has been my honor serving my district for the past 6 years. I have so many people to thank. I want to start with my ex-wife and my two wonderful sons. I couldn’t have done this without your support.
Before I start, I want to bring up 3 special people who were taken from us way too early. Pete Pettalia – who helped me from day one – Julie Plawecki – who I had the honor of sharing a city with and John Kivela – who was my best friend. I miss you all so much.
I want to thank the past three Speakers for always giving me time to discuss policy. I appreciate all of the great assignments from these Speakers – Bolger, Cotter and Leonard. Speaker Leonard - thank you for always having an open door.
I would also like to thank Tim Greimel for naming me as the Whip last session. I would also like to thank Leader Singh. He had faith in me and trusted me to be the lead for our party on School Aid. And thanks Sam for holding my hand on a flight. I haven’t been on a flight since.
Speaking of School Aid, I would like to thank Tim Kelly for allowing me to fight for what was important to me in education. I also enjoyed serving with him as chairmen of the Breakfast Prayer group.
Special thanks to appropriations Chairwoman Laura Cox. You have treated me awesome and my kids of my district thank you.
I want to thank Dave Pagel for picking me to work with him on getting my first bill.
I want to thank Tommy Brann for calling me weekly and for driving 4 hours to be at my mother’s viewing after the election.
Thank you to Joelle Demand and Michelle Lange for always trying to help me.
I want to give a shout out to a few of my friends who already left. I had a choice when I first got here. I had a decision between David Rutledge and Harold Haugh. I think I would have lived a cleaner life if I would have chosen David Rutledge. Also I just went to my buddy’s wedding. Yes, George Darany just got married to an amazing woman.
To two of my buddies up at the rostrum. Clerk Randall and Clerk Brown – I know you are kind of nervous about me bringing up the first time I rose to speak on an issue. Clerk Randall you looked at me with this look of who is this guy. Then turning around and Clerk Brown raising up his hands like he had no idea. It was the longest one minute of my life and I’m just glad I didn’t mention it in this speech.
Bill Sowerby – Thanks for all the advice over breakfast.
Vanessa Guerra – Thanks for wanting every appointment Speaker Leonard gave to me.
Dr. Canfield and Curt VanderWall– thanks for the great conversations at dinner and your wisdom.
Jason Sheppard – thanks for the use of your private golf course.
Mike McCready – Thanks for allowing me to enter Birmingham.
Rose Mary Robinson – Thanks for always having my back.
Chris Afendoulis – Keep practicing your golf game.
Wendell Byrd – Thanks for being so outspoken.
Sherry Gay-Dagnogo – Thanks for your passion.
Gary Glenn – It was great trolling for dinners with you. It’s a lost art, but always works.
Abdullah Hammoud and Darrin Camilleri – I’ll be watching you both climb the ladder in politics.
Scott Dianda, John Chirkun and Pat Green – Sorry we never got out for a drink.
Triston Cole – Thanks for not making me do that bear hunt.
Jeff Noble – Thank you for helping me restore my faith.
Everyone knows I play a lot of golf, and I have with so many lobbyists. Well, my brother Frank Liberati was my golf partner and we played 1000’s of holes against lobbyists, and I wanted to thank Frank for winning one hole that entire time. I do love you Frank.
I want to thank my seatmates over the years.
My first term I sat with Vicki Barnett – as some of you know, she was a fierce legislator, and she drew the short straw. Her favorite comment to me was when she leaned over and said we didn’t need to show up anymore. Me being naïve, I asked why – her response was that we cancel our votes every time and we could just stay home.
My second seatmate was the man - Harvey Santana. Harvey was a really good legislator and always worked for his community. It was my honor to take his seat that he had – and who knows maybe seat 76 is a little possessed.
My current seat mate Jewell Jones has a promising career. He has asked my advice on some things, and I have tried to help him. I love his expression when I know he thinks it’s way out of the box – he looks like oh hell no. Holla.
I would like to thank all the mayors I worked with – Mayor Wild and Mayor Rowe. I would also like to thank the Councilmembers from Westland and Wayne.
I want to thank Chief Dickson for not beating me up.
I would like to thank LSB. I had a little competition with Representative Lucido. It was a tough battle but sorry Pete, I ended up introducing 153 bills - Got you by 21. But at the end of the day you destroy me on bills signed into law. Thanks for being a friend.
I want to thank someone who called me after my mother’s passing and on his message he said he loved me 8 times. Representative Miller, I love you.
I most want to thank the residents. It was my honor serving you.
I saved my staff for last because they mean the world to me.
I started with Ian Mays and Liz Christy. Thank you guys for all of your help.
I then hired Vince Brown – who is now a big time lobbyist. You are a success story.
Then there were two. All of the success I had I owe it to them.
Mariana Carabellese – I remember the first day you interviewed. You answered every question I had with such intelligence. I wanted to tell you that you had the job within one minute. You are so great dealing with the residents and are really super smart.
Renee Edmondson – You were a ninja when it came to bill packages. Your enthusiasm to set policy was impeccable. I never questioned your reasoning and I thought you were a mastermind.
I want to thank both of you and I am so happy you both left the legislature and have really good jobs. Your success is up to you - But I know you will go far. I love you both very much.
In closing,
I love all of you so much, I wish this dream wasn’t going to end. But as they say – all good things must come to an end.”
Rep. Roberts:
“Thank you Mr. Speaker. I’d like to request a little bit of latitude for the timing of this speech, seeing as how I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve given a floor speech before.
To start off, and most importantly, I owe my family a big thank you. My wife Megan, my daughter Devin and my son Ion, who was born the day I was sworn into office back in 2015, my parents Dave and Sue, my in-laws Allen and Amy, my neighbors Al and Connie, Gene and all of my extended family – thank you for putting up with the long hours, the time away, the campaigns, and everything that comes along with being in politics and in the public eye. I truly couldn’t have done it without you all, and I appreciate it more than you know.
A special thank you has to go to my dad without whom I would have never been here. My first election, he drove me thousands of miles in my rural district to knock doors and knocked thousands more himself. Honestly, I’m pretty sure he knocked more doors then me that race. And he doesn’t leave the door without getting the vote. Also, while I have been here, he has picked up all the slack at the farm whether it’s because we have late night session, or on the days that the sun is shining and I am here instead of the field. You mean the world to me Dad.
Thank you to Chief Sergeant Dickson and all of the sergeants for keeping us safe, thank you to the Clerks Randall and Brown for keeping us in order and making sure we’re doing things properly.
Thank you to all the House staff that has helped us out along the way as well. Steve Daunt, I appreciate the deep knowledge of agriculture policy that you bring to the chamber. On top of that, you’re just a good guy to talk to. Josiah Kissling, that guy is a great dude. You can give him the worst legislative tasks possible, and the likelihood is that he’s going to come out with good results.
Daniela Garcia, my seatmate, you and I are a great example of people that can strongly disagree on an entire policy area and still remain great friends. I know we will continue to be friends in the legislative afterlife. Let’s be honest, sitting in the back venting to each other probably kept us both out of the papers.
Chairman Kelly, you’ve always treated me with respect, despite me whipping no on virtually all of your bills. I’ve always appreciated that.
Dave Maturen, thank you for your friendship and candor. I hope you enjoy Florida – but you better remember to stay in touch. I’ll always remember to make the cheese grate again.
Dave Pagel, thank you for always being another reasonable voice here and for always being an advocate for agriculture. As fellow farmers with different crafts – me being a crop farmer and you being an apple farmer – I learned a lot from you these past 4 years.
Triston Cole, thank you for bringing us the Dave Richmond vs. Pete Lucido Tuesday showdowns. More importantly, thank you for always supporting me on the committee. I think we did some good things this term, and I’m grateful for your professionalism and the opportunity.
Chairman Kesto - thanks Klint, for always keeping the start time of committee flexible.
Governor Snyder, I always thought that if you’re getting everyone a little mad, you’re probably doing a good job. Even those that disagree with you can’t say that you weren’t steadfast in your principles. Thank you for setting that example, and never wavering on your vision; we are undoubtedly in a better place today than we were eight years ago. And I am thankful to have been a part of it.
Lt. Gov. Calley, thank you for always being a calm voice in this increasingly aggressive political climate. I admire the work you do, and I know it won’t end going forward.
Thank you to my friends in the lobby corps! You guys take a lot of flak for your job title, but I appreciate the insight and institutional knowledge you can offer. Andy, thanks for always trying to turn me into a real politician. Noah, Winston, KB, Cathy, Renze, Ben, and the Chris’s - thank you for always being honest with me, always at the risk of me being brutally honest in return.
I of course have to give a shout out to Nay Thornhill – if I only knew all of the things about this place he probably knows. I expect a fist bump before I leave.
A lot of people run for office because they’ve got a big idea, something to change. I came here to hopefully leave the state in a little bit better position than I found it. As a 6th generation Michigan farmer who is trying to raise the 7th, I want Michigan to be a place my family can be proud to live, a place that my kids can be excited to grow up and live, and a place where my community can thrive. After almost four years, I can honestly say I’m happy with the results so far.
One piece of legislation I was particularly happy with was passed in 2016 - the Energy package, as it came to be known - a solid piece of well-vetted legislation that I was proud to be a part of. The way that legislation was drafted, amended, and ultimately passed, is the reason why our constituents send us here – to listen to all sides of an argument, and take a well thought out, deliberate approach to change. Utilizing the committee process to make all sides of an issue known and try to make everybody as happy as possible is how it should be done. True change happens in the middle. We did that here. Thank you, Chairman Aric Nesbitt, for your leadership on that issue.
On another note, this term, with the help of all of you – well, most of you - I was able to get HB 4181 passed and signed into law. As an advocate of the skilled trades, I was incredibly proud of this legislation, providing Michigan’s school counselors with the knowledge and training to adequately inform our students on all possible career avenues and career development strategies. Recently hearing from the Michigan Association of College Admission Counselors, they have already processed 700 more professional development requests in college preparedness and career counseling this year than they normally would, so the bill has already shown some success. Thank you all for your help in getting that bill passed. With all that being said, however, perhaps the proudest and most shocking moment for me of the legislative process on this particular bill was when it was on the House floor; I looked up at the board, and saw that Rose Mary Robinson had voted yes – I didn’t know she knew there was a green button on her desk.
Daniela Garcia and I helped get funding into the budget for a fruit and vegetable lab at MSU. One of my priorities coming to Lansing included supporting our agricultural industry. This was a small fix, but it will have a big impact. On that note, we need more ag processing in the state of Michigan! I hope going forward, after I’m gone, that conversation can keep going. Ag is a huge part of our economy, and anything we can do to keep it growing puts us in a better and more sustainable position going forward. This includes the ag processing conversation, natural gas and rural broadband expansion, three phase power availability, and any help we can provide in the skilled trades training and teaching kids about the path to an agricultural career.
As I said at the beginning of this, I came here to try to leave Michigan in a little better place than how I found it. Sometimes it’s not just about a big idea, but about saying no to a big idea. Too often throughout history, legislators become enamored with headlines and feel good stories. Political expediency sometimes trumps numbers and reason. Chris Afendoulis, Dave Maturen, Daniela Garcia, Mike McCready, Kathy Crawford, Dave Pagel, Julie Calley, and all of the rest of the ‘dirty dozen’ – we ended up making headlines for doing what was called the politically ‘wrong’ thing – thank you all for letting a farmer from mid-Michigan know that he wasn’t alone in pushing back against politics as usual. We were dubbed a ‘gang,’ which was news to me that a kid from Charlotte could even be in a gang! But on a serious note, I think respectful disagreement and working towards consensus is the whole point of the system that we have.
Politics is easy, but governing isn’t. Doing the right thing is often different than doing the thing that is political advantageous. Term limits have only exacerbated that problem. Even in my short two terms here, we’ve lost some good ones from the legislature – Earl Poleski, Al Pscholka, and Brad Jacobsen, to name a couple that helped me immensely to get acclimated in my first term. They were all here for the right reasons – to represent the residents of Michigan and try to make the State a better place.
What we’re left with is a system of legislating by press release, a system in which bills are not always adequately vetted or amended, partially because the next election is on the horizon. It’s a system in which there is almost no such thing as long-term planning.
Our system, on both sides, seemingly makes good people frequently vulnerable to a primary challenge – because if you aren’t saying the right buzzwords, what you’re doing to protect and better your communities doesn’t seem to matter anymore. I hope that sometime in the future, this will change to allow true statesmen to exist in politics again. Even some so-called career politicians are good, believe it or not. Some aren’t. Some ‘political outsiders’ are good. Some aren’t. At least the good ones are always able to find a way to stay involved.
I have to throw a few more thanks you in before I wrap this up - Thank you to Brian, Dan and Adrian for taking on a campaign with someone who had never knocked a door politically, but saw that I had the work ethic to win.
A big thank you to Stacey Murray for your guidance and friendship from the time I was first elected to today.
And lastly, I have to thank my staff, Mike Sitkauskas and Tony Mosesso. Without your hard work many of the things I have accomplished in this position wouldn’t have been possible. Tony, your dedication and work ethic have made my life here easy. You’re one of the few people like me who will work 18 hour days, 6-7 days a week, week after week to try and accomplish a goal. Our friendship I know will last long after the 99th legislature comes to a close, and I hope to work with you again in the future. Thank you!
We as legislators get the credit or take the blows, but I have always been grateful for my team. It took a team to get me here, a team to stay here, and it takes a team to leave here. They deserve all of the credit, and any legislator who tells you they did it alone, whether it’s getting elected or passing a bill is lying.
All in all, it’s been a good run. I came here a farmer and I leave here a farmer. It’s been an honor to serve the people of Jackson, Eaton, and Lenawee counties in the legislature alongside all of you. I’ve impacted some good policy, and made some good friends both in and out of this body. I can’t say I have any regrets; I’ve always tried to advocate for and work in the best interest of the people of the State. But in the end, just because some of us disagree on some policy, doesn’t mean we disagree on the end game – a better Michigan. Thank you all for a great four years, let’s keep the momentum going forward.”
Rep. Runestad:
“Wow, what an incredible honor and privilege this experience has been. I never dreamt I would have travelled so far as to become one of 110 (out of 10 million) citizens here as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives.
The road leading to this day occurred about 25 years ago when I was sitting on my dad’s porch pontificating about this and that issue I felt the politicians were screwing up. Then my Dad responded ‘Jim, I am tired of hearing this. If you want to fix it, stop talking and do something’. I asked what he meant and he said ‘you just talk about these issues; I don’t see you doing anything’. On the way home I was struck by his comments and the next day I began looking to get involved.
That night on the porch eventually delivered me here today to this lectern. So, after four marvelous years in this office I thought long and hard about the topic for my Farewell address.
My inclination would be to relate some amusing antidotes while in office. And if you look where I sit with Shane, Mike and Joe...you know I have access to a ton of great material! However, I would fail my Dad injunction to use this very precious time not to just ‘talk’ but to try to make a difference.
To paraphrase Edmund Burke: The hand of evil is constantly on the move and the only thing it needs to succeed is for good people say and do nothing.
So despite my desire to deliver a light hearted speech I feel compelled to deliver this message that I believe impacts our nation’s future more the any other issue. So I begin; ‘The content of character verses identity politics and political correctness.’
There is often great trepidation addressing this subject matter as it can be among the most dangerous conversations you can have in America. It is fraught with destructive land mines that can blow apart careers, families, friendships, reputations, with one small slip of the tongue. One phrase not properly calculated, not properly pondered; one sentence that could be misconstrued, misunderstood or mischaracterized; a word twisted out of its proportions or context could surely lead to at least ridicule, derision, loss of position, reputation, but perhaps even absolute personal destruction. I am certainly not alone in this anxiety:
The Cato Institute released a national poll in October 2017 that found an astounding 71 percent of Americans believe political correctness is silencing discussions society NEEDS to have, while 58 percent said they have political views they are AFRAID to share.
The majority of Democrats (53 percent) said they did not feel any need to self-censor, while a super majority of Republicans (73 percent) and independents (58 percent) felt the need to keep some political beliefs to themselves.
So, with that caveat, I dive in.
ML king’s ‘content of the character’ is about the poison of judging people by external characteristics. Characteristics like an individual’s race or sex which is an intrinsic external condition. These prejudices are the oldest and most pernicious in world history as around the globe there have always been differences between individuals and groups to differentiate them and thus provide demagogues the opportunity to hate, divide and conquer. Groups could be hated because you have a perceived grievance against them, or you fear them, or you despise them. These emotions are almost always driven by clever demagogues who benefit and profit from whipping up this hatred.
Many would like to simplify this topic with one-dimensional formulas. I read a lot of history and I notice often those who inhabit the ‘commanding heights’ of a society can drive the prejudices, as easily or more so, than those arising from the masses. Over centuries the victims and perpetrators can be mutable. Hate could be directed at one group today and another group tomorrow.
America has the most to lose from these demagogues as we are most diverse society in all history. As the popular culture continues to change and morph over the years, if we don’t contain this, we can reach the point where no one is safe except the demagogues. Today you might be attacked for being in the majority, or the minority, for being male or female. Much of the media throughout its history has been complicit in the spreading of these dangerous trends. Usually they followed the prevailing culture. They look to what is acceptable within the culture as their touchstone for what is permissible.
A RECENT example I recall of this cultural phenomena is the hiring of Sarah Jeong as the newest member of the New York Times’ editorial board. Now keep in mind ‘The Times’ is often referred to as the ‘Gray Lady’, ‘The paper of Record for the nation’. Before her hire Jeong wrote on Twitter in July 2014; ‘Oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men,’
This is the kind of poison today has often become completely acceptable in our media culture. Jeong’s twittering provided many similar posts for the Times to consider and they were A-OK with it and elevated her into one the highest media posts in the nation with nary a peep from the rest of the mainstream media. The crickets from our media, at large, on these issues of hate infused into the veins of our very diverse nation by the NYT and other outlets is an illustration of their complicity and hypocrisy as they abrogated their responsibility to root out hate.
Consider the elderly veterans who put their lives on the line for this nation and who fought and sacrificed for Jeong’s freedom. Today they are rewarded by our media who injected her hate venom into our society.
Just as dangerous as conveying the message that all people of certain external characteristic are lazy, worthless, deficient, criminally inclined, it is just as dangerous to whip up grievance against a WHOLE group by saying that they ALL have privileges and advantages on the basis of their external characteristics.
There are people in EVERY single human category who have members that have come from backgrounds of incredible dysfunction, obstacles, struggles and suffering immense personal adversity. There are also members within ALL human categories, with differing external characteristics, who have experienced unbelievable advantages and privileges.
This, I believe is the essential battle today for our nation’s character, it is the battle between those who favor judging ALL by the content of character and condemning ALL hate, and those encourage certain group hate depending on whose ox is currently being gored by the purveyors of identity politics.
One thing I hope all leaders and media will come to comprehend is that you can’t just say ‘well, we will just encourage the hate of this group now, and then we will pivot to maybe direct new hate to different group tomorrow.’
No, your message of hate becomes as uncontrollable and destructive as a brush fire. It often starts small and sparks and jumps the barriers to become a conflagration that can consume an entire society
We must reject judging people based on race, sex, and ethnicity. Rather, we must judge each person by their membership in the smallest minority- the individual.
I could virtually give a limitless number of examples of this as they are replete throughout history. Of the innumerable examples I have time a couple. In 1930s-40s many Germans said the Jews had privilege and didn’t differentiate either privilege or absolute destitution before the genocide.
In 1990, during the Rwandan genocide, the Hutus rose up against the Tutsis and genocided 70% of the population because demagogues preached that the Tutsis had privilege. On this basis the Tutsis were slaughtered by the Hutus who hacked down their friends and neighbors of previous years with machete’s calling them ‘cockroaches’.
Many inhabiting the commanding heights of society like the media, professors, commentators and pundits are complicit in this spread of uncontrolled venom as they message that this, or that group, ALL have privilege. Tomorrow the messages could point to another group. Tomorrow the group they claim has privilege could begin screaming victimhood and off we go again on the marry-go-round of slaughter.
Ayn Rand wrote very eloquently about this and her words could apply to any group with external physical identifiers:
Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a person’s genetic lineage—the notion that a person’s intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by their internal body chemistry. This means, in practice, that a person is to be judged, not by their own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors.
When writing this speech I thought very carefully because I noticed with political correctness all too often people get attacked not for what they actually said but for what someone claims they said, or that the media told their audience was said. Unfortunately, it has become imperative these days to have ideas of great consequence taped so that you don’t get smeared by individuals who ‘interpret’ your intent without evidence of what you actually said.
Even worse than being demonized for what you said, is being smeared for what you never said. People need to be cautious about personal interpretations by ‘experts’ of what an individual said.
One devices used today is to smear people is by saying ‘well they didn’t actually say thus and such, but THAT’s what they meant!’ The popular smear today is saying: ‘well most people just can’t discern and detect the “Dog whistle” message’. So, I DON’T really have to report what the speaker is actually saying, I will just report what I believe their overall intent is.
There certainly could be cases where a message could contains a special code, but too often today I believe the concept of the ‘dog whistle’, is nothing more than licensed to lie about what a speaker said.
But the Demagogues will always be with us and always use any technique that works to empower themselves. Their modus operandi is to find the wedge to divide and go for the jugular. God willing, we will learn to expose them and thwart their evil intentions.
To conclude;
I would just want to thank my long suffering wife Kathy our five kids and 12 grandkids. Kathy says being married to me is one continuous process of getting used to things she hadn’t expected. She will also tell people we have been blissfully and happily married for 12 years. Then, Kathy’s quick to add, those 12 years, were the first 12, out of our 22 year marriage where Jim was not in politics!
I want to thank my incredible staff Krista Vincent and Griffin Drew, Chris Wardell, Joe Martin for a phenomenal job. I would also like to thank Christina and communications, Alyssa and constituent relations and Aaron her attorney for judiciary.
I want to thank Speaker Leonard for his incredible leadership and for appointing me to chair the judiciary committee.
I want to thank my seatmate Shane Hernandez for two fun years but to also let everyone know that half the lies Shane, Joe and Mike tell about me aren’t true!
Final observations:
It will be interesting to see who takes over as the media hound for the termed-out legislator who always carried a card in his wallet which read ‘I am a famous Michigan politician, in case of an accident… please call a reporter.’
I had enjoyed so many wonderful colleagues on both sides of the isle, to many to mention, but a special shout out to my good friend’s Sheldon Neely and Fred Durhal. Most don’t know, but we have been almost inseparable since first meeting here on the capital floor. In fact we have so inseparable that it has taken the muscle, of up to six sergeants at a time, to pull us apart!
Also, a warning to the freshmen that the freshman 15 can become permanent! The only thing getting thinner on me is my hair. In fact it’s gotten so bad our House photographer Mike, said if I get any bigger he’s going to photographing me by satellite.
This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I wouldn’t trade for anything and wish everyone here the absolute best!
God bless the United States of America, the State of Michigan, and every one of you!
Thank you!”
