Eileen Kowall, from the 44th District, offered the following invocation: “Dear Lord, As we gather this new day, I pray that You give us understanding, insight, and a generous heart of gratitude for all our many blessings. On this last day of session before Christmas, let us radiate the light of Christ everyday, in every way, in all that we do, and in all that we say. I pray we keep the spirit of Christmas at heart as we continue our work this day. We ask guidance, protection of our loved ones, and health and well-being to all who serve the people of our great state and nation. And lest we not forget, please bless and keep our troops serving in faraway places. We ask for Your direction as we strive to do what is best for the people of the state of Michigan. May the grace of the Lord be with each of us in this holiday season. Amen.” ______ Rep. Angerer moved that Reps. Ebli, Lemmons, Miller, Nerat, Bettie Scott and Switalski be excused from today’s session. The motion prevailed. Comments and Recommendations Rep. Angerer moved that Rule 75 be suspended. The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor. Rep. Angerer moved that the following remarks be printed in the Journal. The motion prevailed. Rep. Corriveau: “LET IT BE KNOWN, That it is with deep appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that Janet Olszewski has put forth on behalf of the people of Michigan that we offer this expression of our sincere gratitude. As the people of Michigan recognize the loyalty and devotion to public service of this assiduous individual, we add our sentiments of gratefulness for a job well done. Janet Olszewski spent the better part of 30-plus years working to make Michigan a safer and healthier place for the men, women and children who call this state home. Her tenure as a state employee began in 1977 with a post in the Office of Services to the Aging. Ms. Olszewski quickly expanded her public health expertise and earned a reputation for being one of the smartest people in the room who knew how to bring people together and solve problems. That reputation and a track record of delivering results propelled her to leadership positions within the former Department of Public Health and the state’s Medicaid program. Director of the MDCH since 2003, Ms. Olszewski oversaw one of state government’s largest departments, a department charged with promoting the health and safety of all Michigan residents. She led the department during some of our state’s most challenging economic times. As resources dwindled and the need among our residents swelled to new heights, Ms. Olszewski expertly guided the MDCH’s efforts to provide more effective services and programs in a more efficient manner. Never did she waver from the department’s mission to protect the most vulnerable among us. Janet Olszewski created a culture that encouraged employees to unleash their innovation and they responded, making Michigan a national leader in several public health arenas. She herself became a public health leader in the state of Michigan and beyond. Her extensive knowledge and proven leadership vaulted her to prominent positions in several state and national organizations and garnered her numerous awards. More importantly, she is directly responsible for improving the lives of countless Michigan families. A public servant of the highest integrity, she leaves a legacy of leadership and service before self that will serve as a beacon for the countless employees and colleagues she has mentored and inspired. IN SPECIAL TRIBUTE, Therefore, it is with deep gratitude that this document is signed and dedicated to join with the citizens of Michigan in saluting Janet Olszewski for her many outstanding years in public service. We wish her the very best as she departs state government to embark upon a new life chapter.” No. 96] [December 2, 2010] JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE 1991 By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of Third Reading of Bills Senate Bill No. 589, entitled A bill to amend 1972 PA 106, entitled “Highway advertising act of 1972,” by amending section 7a (MCL 252.307a), as added by 2006 PA 447.

  • 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.

  • What Happened?: the 2020 Election Showed That Libertarians Have a Long Way to Go Before They Can Become a Page 1 of 4 National Movement
    USApp – American Politics and Policy Blog: What Happened?: The 2020 election showed that libertarians have a long way to go before they can become a Page 1 of 4 national movement. What Happened?: The 2020 election showed that libertarians have a long way to go before they can become a national movement. In the 2020 presidential election, the Libertarian Party candidate, Jo Jorgensen, gained 1.2 percent of the vote, less than half the party’s 2016 election result. Jeffrey Michels and Olivier Lewis write that despite signs that pointed towards the potential for libertarian voters to be king makers in the 2020 election, their dislike of Donald Trump turned many to Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. Following the 2020 US General Election, our mini-series, ‘What Happened?’, explores aspects of elections at the presidential, Senate, House of Representative and state levels, and also reflects on what the election results will mean for US politics moving forward. If you are interested in contributing, please contact Rob Ledger ([email protected]) or Peter Finn ([email protected]). In the 2016 US Presidential election, the former Republican Governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson gained 3.3 percent of the national vote share, the highest on record for a Libertarian Party presidential candidate. This modest milestone could have been written off as the result of a race featuring two highly unpopular mainstream candidates, Donald Trump and former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. But it might also have portended a more meaningful movement in US electoral politics, one in which a growing Libertarian Party – or at least an increasingly independent bloc of libertarian voters – gains the critical mass to tip the race.

  • The Campaign for Environmental Justice in a Southwest Detroit Border Community
    Building Bridges Where There is Nothing Left to Burn: The Campaign for Environmental Justice in a Southwest Detroit Border Community by Amy Erin Krings A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Social Work and Political Science) in The University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Lorraine M. Gutiérrez, Co-Chair Emeritus Professor Gregory B. Markus, Co-Chair Professor Donald R. Kinder Professor Michael Spencer ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am heavily indebted and grateful to many people who guided me and supported me throughout my dissertation process. Perhaps the most meaningful part of my dissertation is that I was able to study a group whose mission I believe in. I want to thank and acknowledge the leadership of the Southwest Detroit Community Benefits Coalition for granting me access to their campaign and for helping me to better understand the impact of living or working within an environmental sacrifice zone. In particular, I need to thank Tom Cervenak, who mentored me in 2003 when I was a social work intern, and who welcomed me back to Southwest Detroit in 2010. Thank you Simone Sagovac for being patient with me and generous with your time. Thank you Scott Brines for your vulnerability, humility, and kindness. Thank you Debra Williams for teaching me about hope, and thank you Rashida Tlaib for teaching me about courageously and strategically speaking the truth to power. In addition to the Delray residents and members of the Community Benefits Coalition, this dissertation would not have been possible without the consistent support of my dissertation committee--Donald Kinder, Michael Spencer, and my co-chairs Lorraine Gutiérrez and Greg Markus.
