    CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020

    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF AUGUST 3, 2020 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results RECORD-SETTING PRIMARY ELECTIONS A record number of voters participated in Michigan’s primary election on Aug. 4, with more than 2.5 million people casting a vote either in person or by absentee ballot. One of the most followed races in the primary was the 13th Congressional District rematch between U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit) and Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Jones represented the district for a few weeks in 2018, following the resignation of Rep. John Conyers (D-Detroit) in December 2017. After his resignation, there were two elections for the seat with Jones winning the special election to complete Conyers unexpired term, and Tlaib winning the regular race for the Congressional seat. This year, Tlaib and Jones were the only primary candidates. On Tuesday, Tlaib won the strongly Democratic district with nearly twice as many votes as Jones, potentially guaranteeing her a second term. In the 3rd Congressional District in West Michigan, Republican Peter Meijer, a U.S. Army veteran whose family founded the well-known Meijer retail chain, won a five-way contest with more than 50 percent of the vote, including holding a strong lead over his main opponent Rep. Lynn Afendoulis. Meijer will face Democratic attorney Hillary Scholten. The winner of that race will succeed U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, a former Republican turned Libertarian who is not seeking reelection. In the 10th Congressional District, a Republican stronghold in the Thumb region, Republican businesswoman Lisa McClain of Bruce Township, a pro-Trump Republican who outspent her opponents, beat state Rep.

    Submitted By: Patrick O. Lindsey, Vice President 1 Government and Community Affairs

    Submitted by: Patrick O. Lindsey, Vice President 1 Government and Community Affairs FEDERAL RELATIONS Scientific Integrity Act, S.338 Congressional Democrats in the Senate are rallying behind a bill to protect federal scientists from attempts to interfere with scientific discourse and dissemination of research results. Earlier this month, Senator Bill Nelson (D–FL) introduced S. 338, the Scientific Integrity Act. This legislation, of which Michigan Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters are original co-sponsors, would codify existing policies at some two dozen federal agencies. Those policies stem from a 2009 executive order from former President Barack Obama that required them to spell out how they would safeguard scientific integrity. There has been concern among some research institutions that some actions by President Donald Trump’s transition team and his fledgling administration have raised questions about its commitment to open scientific communication and respect for evidence. As a result, the issue has become a partisan litmus test. Senator Nelson’s bill has 27 Senate co-sponsors, all of them Democrats, and a similar bill is being drafted by Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The legislation is aimed at blocking attempts by political appointees to manipulate or suppress the results of research that could undermine the administration’s position on an issue. It would enshrine in law the idea of transparency, open communication, and protection for whistleblowers in a scientific context. In particular, the legislation has a provision giving government scientists the right to review and approve the contents of any press release or other document dealing with their research before it goes out to the public.

Randall, Clerk of the preceding House. Rep. Aaron Miller, from the 59th District, offered the following invocation: “Our heavenly Father, Thank You for this day that You have made. Thank You for the privilege of being in Your presence here in this place on this special day and in this special place that our forefathers designated as our seat of government. I pray for our wonderful state of Michigan. Lord, You have doubly blessed this land and its people and we are blessed accordingly to be able to call it our home. We ask that You continue to bless the state of Michigan. Guard its people and enrich its natural resources which are already great. I pray for each representative and senator in this 99th Legislature. I pray for each family member here today and for those at home and for those to come. Specifically, Lord, we seek Your blessing of safety, good health, and a sound mind over these few who will be laying down and amending statute for our great state and representing the constituencies therein.

    Michigan Register Issue No. 1 – 2020 (Published February 1, 2020) GRAPHIC IMAGES IN THE MICHIGAN REGISTER COVER DRAWING Michigan State Capitol: This image, with flags flying to indicate that both chambers of the legislature are in session, may have originated as an etching based on a drawing or a photograph. The artist is unknown. The drawing predates the placement of the statue of Austin T. Blair on the capitol grounds in 1898. (Michigan State Archives) PAGE GRAPHICS Capitol Dome: The architectural rendering of the Michigan State Capitol’s dome is the work of Elijah E. Myers, the building’s renowned architect. Myers inked the rendering on linen in late 1871 or early 1872. Myers’ fine draftsmanship, the hallmark of his work, is clearly evident. Because of their size, few architectural renderings of the 19th century have survived. Michigan is fortunate that many of Myers’ designs for the Capitol were found in the building’s attic in the 1950’s. As part of the state’s 1987 sesquicentennial celebration, they were conserved and deposited in the Michigan State Archives. (Michigan State Archives) East Elevation of the Michigan State Capitol: When Myers’ drawings were discovered in the 1950’s, this view of the Capitol – the one most familiar to Michigan citizens – was missing. During the building’s recent restoration (1989-1992), this drawing was commissioned to recreate the architect’s original rendering of the east (front) elevation.
