Creator God, I give You thanks on behalf of all who are gathered here today. Thank You for Your many and abundant blessings. Thank You for life itself, for nature and all of its seasons, for the measure of health we need to fulfill our callings, and for the ways You lead and guide us. Thank You for the ability to be involved in useful work and for the honor to live a life of service to others.
Scripture tells us that You have established a government to promote peace and order and justice. Therefore, I pray for our Governor, for the various levels of state officials, and in particular, for this assembled Legislature. I’m asking that You would graciously grant them the wisdom to govern amid the conflicting interests and issues of our times, the compassion for the welfare and true needs of all people, a keen thirst for justice and righteousness, the courage to do what is right even when it is not popular, the ability to work together in harmony even when there is honest disagreement, and personal peace in their lives and joy in their tasks. I pray for the agenda set before them today—please give them guidance as to what would please You and what would benefit those who live in and work in and around our beloved state of Michigan.
I ask all these things in Your most blessed name. Amen.
The Assistant President pro tempore, Senator O’Brien, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Senator MacGregor’s statement is as follows:
Well, it’s my turn. We all go through losing good employees, and it’s tough to hold on to the gems—they always seem to find the bigger and the better. It’s my turn to let someone out of the nest, A.J. Rodriguez, and he’s here with his fiancé and his mother and father. They are standing right next to him. A.J. has been part of my team for three years now, and he is very critical to making me look good. You all can laugh at how difficult of a job that had to have been for A.J.
He’s involved with not only the scheduling and some of the things that a lot of our staff does, but he was key to a lot of legislation that I have passed over the last three years. One being the drone legislation where A.J. took the bull by the horns. He also took that very successful Sportsman’s Caucus that we had up in Traverse City by the horns and drove that, and made that a very, very successful event that we had for our state, and inviting the whole nation here to Traverse City and the state of Michigan. He has been my right-hand man when it comes to the 28th District, so it’s not only what I’m losing, but it’s what the 28th District is losing. Whether it is volunteering to help me out back in the Rockford area or the 28th District, or helping you out in different districts with CCP days.
A.J. is moving on to Washington, D.C., so we will have an ally in D.C. He’s going to be in the State Department, so maybe one day he may be the Secretary of State, or if you’re caught in a foreign country and you need some help getting out, let’s call A.J. He will be missed. I know many of you know A.J. I will miss him, he’s been a great, great team member. We’ve had a great team in the 28th District. I’m saddened that he’s leaving, but I’m so happy for him that he is moving on and going to a dream job. Hopefully one day he will come back and he will be more than happy to come back to my district office. I know a couple of leadership offices have tried to steal him from me, and they respected me when I said, “no.” He’s a gem, and I’m happy to have had him for the three years I did.
With that, help me wish him well and thank him for his service to the state of Michigan.
Senator Nofs’ statement is as follows:
It’s my turn—second today—we’re losing someone very special to the Nofs team. We know that we are only as good as the people who work for us and they make us look awesome-good, when we have someone so intelligent and well-organized and who does a great job in helping us with some of the issues that people back home have when they call our office.
Joining me today on the Senate floor is Andrew Beardslee—we call him Drew—who is leaving us. Andrew’s wife is here today, Halley; and his father, and my friend, Judge Paul Beardslee; his brother Nick; and his mother- and father-in-law Tonya and Scott Morrison.
Drew joined the Nofs team back in 2015 shortly after he graduated from Grand Valley State University. He had previously been employed with the Speaker’s Office over in the House—Jase Bolger—so when he came to the Senate, we taught him how the Legislature truly works—we had to re-train him a little bit—but once we did that, he hit the ground running and we’ve been fortunate for it and he’s never looked back.
From day one, we knew Drew was a special individual. He’s a very confident, professional, young man—you did a good job, Dad. Drew’s ability to communicate with anyone was truly, truly exceptional. The way he would interact with our constituents when they called—especially the ones that had so many special problems and were really intense and worried and their life wasn’t going right—we always gave that call to Drew because, No. 1, Drew is a good listener, and Drew always had a way of being able to communicate and to be able to reach out and make the person feel, as he did feel, that he truly did care about their problems that day and did everything he could to help them feel better. Once the call was done, they loved their State Senator, Mike Nofs. That was good. So Drew, thanks for making me look so good and doing so well with the constituents back home.
While providing first-class service as he did to the constituents of the 19th Senate District, we also relied on his superior command of the English language to prepare district communications, and we found out that Drew actually is a published author—back in high school, he wrote a book. Awesome. So I can tell you what I did: I made sure he wrote every speech for me and, man, did he make me look like a pro. They really thought I was smart after I got talking to that group, but it was actually Drew, and I was just reading the words.
Drew, you are an exemplary, perfect employee and our office was so fortunate to have you join us when you did. It is tough once again to tell this body that we’re losing someone from the Nofs team who is very good and has been so loyal and such a pleasure to work with. Many of you, though, will get the chance to work with Drew again. He’s not going very far. He’s going over to the Department of Transportation to be their new legislative liaison. I can tell you one thing: the guy will work hard for you and you can trust him. He’s so honest. You can count on the answer he gives you; that it’s the correct answer. We’ll look forward to that, especially when potholes come back in Battle Creek—we’ll be calling you. Obviously, we’ll be helping celebrate his success and watch him flourish in the future.
Drew, I can’t tell you enough how much I really appreciate your professionalism, your excellence, the way you handle yourself, the way you carry yourself. You are the spitting image of a true, professional, young man. I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for the constituents of the 19th Senate District. We are so proud of you and your new wife, and we wish you all the blessings that God can give you in the future and for you, your family, and your career. If my colleagues would help me—we have a Special Tribute we’d like to give him—but help me thank Andrew for all the work he did for the Senate and representing us out in the 19th Senate District and all over the state of Michigan.
Senator Zorn’s statement is as follows:
I’m going to make it the third one today. We’re going to be losing a very valued employee in our office, Bel Martin. Bel came to us right out of college where she studied law. She came to us with a great attitude for working in the Senate. We got to know Bel very well, and quite frankly, she has become such a close family member that I consider her another daughter of mine. She is going to move to the other side where she is going to be able to do some of the work that she has been wanting to do in policy. We respect that decision to do that because she can grow and—as she says—add one more thing to the toolbox.
We are going to miss her, but more importantly, the district is going to miss Bel because of what she was able to do helping constituents in the district. I have heard nothing but good comments about Bel. I know wherever she goes, she is going to succeed in life. She has a very strong will and a very strong feeling to help people. She has certainly been a great help to us and to the district.
Thank you, Bel, for being a part of our team. Some of you may know her husband, Joe Martin. The best part of this team is their daughter Sophia, who is another grand-daughter of mine. Thank you very much and best wishes, Bel.
Senator Hansen’s statement is as follows:
I have a sort-of special introduction, but it’s somebody that everybody knows. I just want to take a few minutes to recognize someone in the Gallery who many of us had the pleasure of working with over the years. David LaLumia is the current President and CEO of the Health Care Association of Michigan—HCAM—and he is retiring at the end of this month after nine years as the head of this trade association. Overall, his career represents having spent 40 years in public service. Prior to his time as the head of HCAM, he spent over 28 years as the Executive Director of the Michigan Association of Community Mental Health Boards.
With experiences in the complex and ever-changing world of health care policy, Dave has brought a unique perspective to all of his responsibilities in helping represent the members he has served. Dave was a passionate and tireless advocate for the provision of community-based mental health services as well as for those who reside in nursing and rehabilitation communities. He is effective in representing the positions of his members on regulatory, policy, and appropriations issues which were before the legislative and executive branches.
In the late 1970s, he participated in the creation of the Michigan Association of Community Mental Health Boards. Dave contributed to the 1995 revision of the state’s Mental Health Code. His leadership was key in the development of mental-health components of our Medicaid program. The creation of specialized public-managed care organizations and prepaid inpatient health plans can be attributed to Dave’s work. While at HCAM, Dave helped lead several enacted positive changes, such as nursing facilities survey process improvements, guardian regulations and DNR orders, nursing facility license fees, and direct employment of physicians, as well as developing a quality measure initiative.
I’ve had the personal pleasure of working with Dave and his team during the course of my terms on issues impacting our most vulnerable populations in nursing and rehabilitation settings. Above all, Dave has treated people with respect and dignity, and there’s no doubt his example will long be appreciated by all who have come into contact with him.
It’s with great pleasure to extend this expression of our thanks and best wishes to David LaLumia upon the occasion of his retirement. Thank you, Dave, for all your years of service to the great state of Michigan. Would my Senate colleagues please take a moment to recognize Dave on this fine occasion?
Recess
Senator Kowall moved that the Senate recess subject to the call of the Chair.
The motion prevailed, the time being 10:23 a.m.
10:45 a.m.
The Senate was called to order by the Assistant President pro tempore, Senator O’Brien.
During the recess, Senator Johnson entered the Senate Chamber.
Senator Hertel asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Hertel’s statement is as follows:
I know we’ve already had a couple presentations today. I also have the distinct honor but also the sadness of someone leaving my office: Tom Flammer. When I met Tom, he was single, 38, and he worked in a comic book shop. You have to think Big Bang Theory without all the science. Now, after all this time, he’s 44, he has an amazing wife, and two beautiful children. Tom has really blossomed in the time that I’ve gotten to know him. I’m really proud of not just the person he is but the family man that he is.
Tom came to me during my first campaign for Register of Deeds. We worked together once I was there to help hundreds of people stay in their home. Tom was really the person they first talked to in that process and was able to help people stay in their home. For the last three years, he has been focused on helping the people of the 23rd District, and I’ve received countless letters and phone calls to thank me for having Tom and to thank me for his work. He has really taken that lesson of service to heart and has done amazing work for the people of the 23rd District.
Although we often, in my office, have fun at Tom’s expense—the fact that his wife makes him lunch every day, and, as he would say, sometimes it’s just sandwiches; that once, in the U.P., he tried to make a bagel, because he doesn’t know how to cook for himself, it was pitch-black and, I think, on fire; the fact that it’s a real fear, and I mean this, a real fear for anyone in my office to go on a road trip where Tom is driving, and one time he said he was not that bad of a driver and proceeded to get out of the car while we were at a gas station with the car still in “drive” and almost drive us into the actual gas station—but despite all the good-natured ribbing, I am proud to call Tom my friend.
I am proud of the work he has done for the people of the 23rd District, and I look forward to his success in his new endeavor in the lower chamber across the Capitol and everything he will do in his career, because I know he will always be committed to helping people. Please help me thank Tom for his years of service to the Michigan Senate.

Senator Stamas’ statement is as follows:
Thank you Madam President. It’s my honor tonight to memorialize Marine Lance Corporal Ryan Burgess by sponsoring Senate Bill No. 481. Ryan Burgess is the son of Jon and Kim Burgess. He lived his childhood in Sanford and attended Meridian Public Schools, graduating in 2003. After graduation, Ryan attended one year of college before deciding to serve his country and joined the United States Marine Corps.
While Ryan was serving his second tour in Iraq in 2006 he gave the ultimate sacrifice of his life for the freedom that we so cherish.
While in the Marine Corps, Ryan was a vehicle commander and squad leader, taking great pride in the responsibilities the Marine Corps bestowed upon him. His marksmanship skills during boot camp earned him the Expert Rifle Marksmanship Badge. These skills were called upon during his tours in Iraq as he often asked to be the sniper.
I would ask for your support for this bill, and thank you for your attention.
By unanimous consent the Senate returned to the order of

Statements
Pursuant to rule 3.507, Senator Bieda submitted a statement in writing for inclusion in today’s Journal.
Senator Bieda’s statement is as follows:
I would like to take a moment to thank the Capitol docents who have worked so hard this year. The docents help fill the great need for Capitol tours by assisting our wonderful full-time employees in the State Capitol Tours and Information Service. Without these docents’ dedication and support, the State Capitol Tours and Information Service would not be able to provide the large number of tours that occur each year.
This group of retired teachers, nurses, state and federal employees, lawyers, a physician, a minister, and veterans give up their own time to help provide incredible tours of our Capitol. These tours not only give our guests a complete education on the history of our Capitol but also showcase how beautiful this building truly is.
The docents go through a pretty extensive training program. They are given a large manual containing information on state history, the legislative process, the Capitol’s history, and the state of Michigan’s history. They are then tested on items contained in the manual, including all of the Capitol’s portraits, the architecture of the building, and the rest of the remaining artwork. After passing this test, they shadow current docents and slowly take more control of tours until they are comfortable and experienced to do their own tours. Our docents work two days per week for four hours, usually giving two tours per day. Last year, the State Capitol Tours and Information Service provided 3,391 tours to almost 11,000 visitors.
We are grateful for all of the docents listed below and the full-time staff at the Capitol tour desk for their hard work and commitment to the education of government, Michigan, and the Michigan State Capitol: Sheri Beecroft, Penny Byelich, Doug Finley, Maribeth Fletcher, John Folkers, Janet Foran, Ken Frankland, Becky Jones, Mary Keller, Carl Kentner, Gary Koelsch, Nancy Logan, Susan Palmer-Alvarez, Jim McCoy, Renee Schuette, Tom Nelson, Mary Sothard, and Alvin VanderKolk.
Senators Ananich and Meekhof asked and were granted unanimous consent to make statements and moved that the statements be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Ananich’s statement is as follows:
Thank you, Madam President. If you would indulge me for a second, I want to put my jacket on because, as you know, decorum is always something that is of the utmost importance to me.
Madam President, thank you for enduring a couple comments from me before we adjourn for the year. I want to take a moment to share my appreciation for the efforts of my colleagues this year, and to touch upon a few things yet to be done. It is easy to just be in the opposition. None of us who sit in this chamber—and particularly none on my side of the aisle—are here because we want to be just a voice of opposition. I did not run for office to see my name in print. My caucus members did not come to session each day just to throw bombs. We are here to serve our communities and effect change. There were several times this year when we joined with our colleagues on the other side of the aisle to support legislation and pass bipartisan policy in the Senate, but those opportunities have not been as many as I would like.
I would like to highlight a couple items that I hope we can address in 2018. We have devoted resources to the residents of my community to help them to being to recover from an unimaginable crisis. Unfortunately, policy has not allowed appropriations for Flint. We have managed to pass some legislation, there is still more to be done to ensure a full recovery for the residents of Flint. I introduced more bills this week to provide a voice for communities in crisis and ensure accountability. I look forward to working with members of this chamber to see these bills come up for a vote. The residents of my community deserve consideration.
I also want to see this chamber take action to review the policies of Michigan State University and better understand how the heinous actions of one man could have gone undetected for so long. The Legislature has the power of oversight. If there is legislative action we can take to require better from MSU and ensure that there is never another victim, we must do it.
We must also do better for our teachers. This year took a toll on our education community. We have balanced state obligations on the backs of educators. The Senate has increased anxiety in the classroom and for parents by passing legislation that no longer allows districts to set their own policy about firearms. We are not serving our public schools well. Our students in our communities will suffer as a result, and I believe we can do better.
But we did come together to improve legislation for our firefighters and police officers. Our first responders can rest a little easier this holiday season knowing that the state cannot change their retirement benefits, but instead will take the responsible route of providing financial advice for communities in need. The evolution of policy related to municipal retirement is proof that legislation is better when both parties come together in support of a solution. There are many times when we disagree, but there is always opportunity to reach consensus. I assure you, if you are willing, we are able.
Thank you to all of my friends in this chamber, on both sides of the aisle. I truly enjoy working with all of you. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, and I look forward to what can be accomplished in the New Year.
Senator Meekhof’s statement is as follows:
Before I begin my prepared remarks, I was going to find a way to suspend the rules to object to the Leader’s sweater, but I think I’ll just go on to my other comments.
As I crossed the Mississippi River twice this weekend in order to be present for the birth of my newest grandson, Roman James Meekhof, after he arrived healthy and super cute in South Dakota this last Friday afternoon, I drove back to Michigan, spent Monday night at my daughter’s house along the way, and I woke up in time to make it to work on Tuesday morning in order to begin another week of session in this magnificent chamber. As I drove back and forth through the Midwest this weekend, it occurred to me that while we accomplish many important things as legislators, we often lose sight of the big picture and find ourselves stuck in the details. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m guilty of getting stuck on details. My frustrations accumulate, my blood boils, and I soon find myself sitting in my chair on the Senate floor after hours and hours of session trying to remember why I didn’t send everybody home earlier. I think we’re all guilty of getting lost or stuck on the details.
A lot of that is owed to the fact that the issues we deal with are not small. We make decisions that impact millions of people’s lives. The weight of that responsibility often leads to reviewing and revisiting legislation in order to ensure that we are on the right path. Ultimately, our willingness to tackle those issues has led to a number of achievements over this past year—passing economic development packages to spur job growth and investment in our communities and our state, protecting and securing retirement of veterans, reforming teacher retirement, making significant changes to the criminal justice system, combating opioid addiction, promoting first-time ownership and many, many more, and I’m not going to take all of your time to do the list. Clearly the work we do in Lansing is worth the frustration and irritation when the result is a state that is in much better shape than it was just a decade ago.
While I greatly respect you for all your work as public servants, I want to take this opportunity to remind you that our greatest jobs—yours and mine—have nothing to do with our titles or elections. The most important contributions you make to the state and to this world are in the form of being a spouse, a parent, a grandparent, a child, sibling, and friend. The challenges and rewards of your roles within your families are the achievements that mean the most in life. That thought occurred to me as I drove hundreds of miles in order to be witness to the arrival of one more little person into this world who I hope will make a huge impact and a huge difference one day. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to this state. I appreciate it, the citizens deserve it, and I know your families are proud.
As I close, I beg you to drive safely and arrive home to enjoy your families for this holiday season.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
