  • Michigan 2018 Lame Duck Legislative Session Scorecard -- Dec 21 2018.Pdf
    2018 Michigan Legislative Lame DuckSCORECARD 1 2018 Michigan Legislative Overview ......................................2 Vote Descriptions .........................3 Lame Scorecard: Senate ........................4 DuckSCORECARD Scorecard: House .........................5 The 2018 lame duck legislative session has moved at a record pace. More than 300 bills were introduced since the midterm elections on November 6th. Lame duck sessions are often used by corporate lobbyists and lame duck lawmakers, no longer accountable to their constituents, to push through wildly unpopular legislation in the final days of the year. During the 2012 lame duck session, the Emergency Manager law was reinstated, just weeks after having been struck down by voters at the ballot box. This year’s lame duck legislative session has been the most anti-environment and anti-democracy in Michigan’s history. Clean Water Action has been organizing voters, leading lobby day activities, testifying at committee hearings, hosting rallies and keeping our members up-to-date on the blatant and daily attacks on our water and democracy. The following scorecard tracks some of the worst legislative assaults on our water and democracy. On all bills tracked in this scorecard, the pro-environment and pro-democracy position was to oppose (a No vote) the legislation in question. There have been many bad bills introduced this session, but the following six are the worst of the worst. Brief descriptions of the legislation are below. Each bill has been weighted equally. If a Senator or Representative was absent (A) from the vote in question, that vote does not affect their overall score. In 2019, we will have a new legislature and new state leadership, but some of the elected officials scored below will be returning to Lansing.

  • October 12Th, 2020 Dear Michigan Senators, We Urge You to Take Up
    October 12th, 2020 Dear Michigan Senators, We urge you to take up and support the substitute version of Senate Bill 241 sponsored by Sen. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit). The bill places a statewide moratorium on water shut offs through the end of the year and ensures water service is restored to any Michigander currently shut off. Access to water is essential to human life at any time, but even more so during a public health pandemic when hand washing and bathing is critical to limiting spread and exposure to COVID-19. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Order 2020-144 required public water supplies to restore water service to Michiganders across the state during the state of emergency. The EO allowed low-income households – many of whom are fixed income, unemployed, underemployed and/or essential workers – to have essential water service. The recent Michigan Supreme Court decision invalidated the EO, leaving behind an inadequate patchwork of local policies for water access for our most vulnerable Michigan households, including the elderly, children, people with disabilities, and pregnant women. Michiganders across the state are experiencing financial hardship that has put their access to basic utility services at risk. This is a statewide problem that needs a statewide solution. Unfortunately, Michigan has no comprehensive water service reporting requirements so access to data on water shut offs is limited. In Detroit – the most glaring example of water unaffordability and shut offs – a Freedom of Information Act request by Joel Kurth from Bridge Magazine found that 9,500 occupied homes that were disconnected for non-payment in 2019 were still without service in mid-January 2020.1 Further, a national survey found that the average water utility disconnected five percent of households for nonpayment in 2016, affecting an estimated 15 million Americans.2 EO 2020-144 did include a one-time reporting requirement, but the reporting from public water supplies under the EO was flawed and filled with gaps and missing data points.

    Michigan Register Issue No. 21 – 2020 (Published December 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.

    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE January 22, 2021 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF JANUARY 18, 2021 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER PROPOSED SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING Gov. Whitmer presented a proposed supplemental appropriation that adds $575 million in state funds to about $5 billion in federal coronavirus relief on Tuesday, with more specific bill language on Wednesday of this week detailing how recommended appropriations would be doled out to school districts. For school districts, Whitmer’s proposed fiscal year 2020-21 education supplemental would provide: • Total federal spending of more than $1.656 billion to K-12 schools for addressing the impact of COVID-19. • $157.35 million of the federal amount in addition to another $300 million in state school aid revenues, will be disbursed to districts through a different formula than what is usually used for Title I federal funding, which typically is based on levels of poverty. The combined federal and state COVID-19 funds totaling $457.35 million would be disbursed as follows: o $10 million to intermediate school districts, half based on the number of special education pupils in the district and the other half disbursed on an equal per pupil basis with no ISD getting less than $25,000 o Half of the remaining $447.35 million distributed to districts based on the number of special education pupils in each district in the 2020-21 school year o The other half distributed on an equal per pupil basis with no district receiving less than $25,000 o $8.3 million would go toward the Department of Education for administration and oversight purposes.
