Rep. Mark Tisdel, from the 45th District, offered the following invocation:
“God of Abraham, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
Which should be changed,
And the Wisdom to distinguish
The one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
This we pray in the name of the Devine Spirit that lives within us all. Amen.”

Messages from the Senate
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 20.
A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for John A. “Jack” Welborn, former member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Whereas, It is with great sadness that the members of the Michigan Legislature learned of the passing of Jack Welborn. He served his constituents and the people of the entire state with great conviction and dedication during his time in the House and Senate; and
Whereas, Jack Welborn brought a wide range of public and private sector experience with him to Lansing. He spent two years in the Naval Reserve and, over the course of his life, was a dairy farmer, insurance agent, and volunteer firefighter. In 1966, Jack Welborn started his public service career when he was elected Cooper Township Supervisor. He also served as chairman of the Kalamazoo County Board of Supervisors, on the Gull Lake School Board, and as Kalamazoo Soil Conservation District Director; and
Whereas, Jack Welborn arrived in Lansing in 1973 to represent the people of Kalamazoo County in the Forty-seventh House District. When the area’s Senate seat became vacant the following year, the voters of the Twenty-first Senate District – encompassing parts of Cass, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties - sent Jack Welborn across the Capitol in the summer of 1974, where he remained until 1982 when he ran for Governor. Following the death of his brother, who represented the Thirteenth Senate District, Jack Welborn signed up to serve the people of Barry, Ionia, Kalamazoo, and Montcalm counties as their senator in a 1985 special election. Those voters would elect him twice more, in 1986 and 1990; and
Whereas, While serving in the Legislature, Jack Welborn championed smaller government, deregulation, lower taxes, and pro-life causes. Despite his strongly held conservative views on many issues, he was able to find common ground with his colleagues across the aisle, championing bipartisan criminal justice and corrections reform while chairing Senate committees on those issues. He also supported issues back home, including saving the historic Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital Water Tower from demolition. Jack Welborn served on many committees in both chambers, including serving as chair of Senate committees on criminal justice and law, family law, corrections, urban affairs, and economic development and the Senate Select Committee on Export and Trade; serving as vice chair of Joint Committee on Administrative Rules; and being a member of Commerce; Regulatory Affairs; Appropriations and Retirement, including many subcommittees; Labor and Retirement; Municipalities and Elections; Finance; Constitutional Revision and Women’s Rights; Taxation; Tourist Industry Relations; and Youth and Student Participation. He introduced dozens of bills every session to push for measures important to his constituents, with a particular focus on mental health and issues affecting children; and
Whereas, After leaving Lansing in 1994, Jack Welborn returned to his family’s homestead farm where he grew up and opened an antique shop with his wife. He enjoyed time in his workshop and with his grandchildren during his retirement; and
Whereas, Jack Welborn was a committed and hardworking legislator who cherished his family. Upon his passing, we offer our condolences to his family and friends. We hope that they may find comfort in the knowledge that the community and state share in their bereavement and that the legacy of Jack Welborn’s contributions will long continue to enrich our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of John A. “Jack” Welborn, a member of the House of Representatives from 1973 to 1974 and a member of the Senate from 1974 to 1982 and 1985 to 1994; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Welborn family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

House Resolution No. 182.
A resolution to declare October 11, 2021, as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The state of Michigan understands
that in order to help close the equity gap, government entities should change
their policies and practices to better reflect and uplift the experiences,
culture, history, and contributions of the people they serve; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes that Columbus Day has been viewed by many as a celebration of our country’s rich immigrant and, in particular, Italian and Catholic heritage; and
Whereas, Recognizing the valuable contributions of immigrants to our history is important, it should not come at the expense of recognizing the experiences of the Indigenous people of the American continent; and
Whereas, Michigan honors the 12 federally recognized tribes and many more tribally recognized tribes native to this land and acknowledges the people, land, traditions, and customs stolen by colonial systems through government practices of forced separation, forced assimilation, and forced removal; and
Whereas, The idea of Indigenous Peoples’ Day was first proposed in 1977 by a delegation of Native Nations to the United Nations-sponsored International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas; and
Whereas, In 1990, representatives from 120 Indigenous Nations at the First Continental Conference on 500 Years of Indian Resistance unanimously passed a resolution to transform Columbus Day into an opportunity to reveal historical truths about pre-existing indigenous cultures that have survived a violent colonization process and continue to exist and thrive in present day America; and
Whereas, The United States endorsed the United Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples on December 16, 2010, and Article 15 of that declaration states “Indigenous peoples have the right to the dignity and diversity of their cultures, traditions, histories, and aspirations, which shall be appropriately reflected in education and public information. States should take effective measures, in consultation and cooperation with the Indigenous peoples concerned, to combat prejudice and eliminate discrimination and to promote tolerance, understanding, and good relations among Indigenous peoples and all other segments of society”; and
Whereas, The state of Michigan recognizes the presence of the three major groups in our state today, the Three Fires Confederacy, the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi, collectively known as the Anishinaabe who have lived upon this land since time immemorial, and values the progress our society has accomplished through Native American thought and culture; and
Whereas, The establishment of Indigenous Peoples’ Day shall be used to reflect upon the ongoing struggles of Indigenous peoples on this land and to celebrate the thriving cultures and values that the Anishinaabe of the Great Lakes and other indigenous peoples contribute to society; and
Whereas, Many of our indigenous relatives and Tribal Nations in the Michigan have contributed much to our state’s success, history, economy, politics, and cultural heritage, and there are many things to be proud of as an indigenous person in Michigan; and
Whereas, Even the name Michigan is derived from the Anishinaabemowin word michigami meaning “great lake,” and there are many other examples of how the Anishinaabe of the Great Lakes have helped shape who we are as the state of Michigan, and
Whereas, The state of Alaska, the cities of Seattle, Washington, Berkeley, California, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and many more cities around the country including Traverse City, Ann Arbor, East Lansing, and Alpena in Michigan have voted to rename Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day to honor the culture, heritage, and contributions of Native Americans; and
Whereas, On this second Monday of October, we should honor the historic, cultural, and contemporary significance of Indigenous peoples and their ancestral lands that also became known as the Americas and celebrate their contributions to communities throughout Michigan, the United States, and all over the world; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare October 11, 2021, as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the state of Michigan. We recognize this day in lieu of Columbus Day to uplift our country’s indigenous roots, history, and contributions; and be it further
Resolved, That Indigenous Peoples’ Day shall be used to reflect upon the ongoing struggles of Indigenous people on this land and to celebrate the thriving culture and value that Odawa, Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and other indigenous peoples add to communities throughout Michigan and our Great Lakes region.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Messages from the Governor
The following veto message from the Governor was received and read:
Executive Office, Lansing, October 7, 2021
Michigan House of Representatives
State Capitol Building
Lansing, MI 48909-7514
Representatives,
I am returning Enrolled House Bill 4088 to you without my signature.
The Natural Resource Commission’s ban on deer and elk feeding is based on strong scientific evidence, which demonstrates that feeding disrupts normal wildlife movement patterns, causing animals to congregate and thereby accelerating the spread of deadly diseases like bovine tuberculosis. HB 4088 would cast aside sound disease management principles to loosen restrictions on deer and elk feeding, threatening our agricultural and hunting industries.
For the foregoing reasons, I am vetoing HB 4088 of 2021.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Whitmer
The question being on the passage of the bill, the objections of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding,
The motion prevailed.
______
Rep. Frederick moved that House Committees be given leave to meet during the balance of today’s session.
The motion prevailed.
