  • Issue No. 13 – 2020 (Published August 1, 2020)
    Michigan Register Issue No. 13 – 2020 (Published August 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. (Michigan Capitol Committee) Michigan Register Published pursuant to § 24.208 of The Michigan Compiled Laws Issue No. 13— 2020 (This issue, published August 1, 2020, contains documents filed from July 1, 2020 to July 15, 2020) Compiled and Published by the Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules © 2020 by Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules, State of Michigan All rights reserved.

  • 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.
