  • Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan
    Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan Submitted by Joshua Koss To The Honors College Oakland University In partial fulfillment of the requirement to graduate from The Honors College 1 Abstract Conventional wisdom in the study of members of Congress, pioneered by Richard Fenno, argues that one of the chief goals of elected officials is their reelection. However, this theory does not account for those who willingly retire from Congress. Who are these former members and what activities do they pursue once they leave office? To answer the first question, this project analyzes data on retired members of Congress from the state of Michigan regarding the years they served, party identification, and their age of retirement. The second and perhaps more interesting question in this research, examines the post-congressional careers of former members of Congress and whether their new line of work has any connections with their time in Congress through committee assignments and issue advocacy. In addition to quantitative analysis of the attributes of former members and their post-congressional careers, a qualitative analysis is conducted through a comparative case study of retired Senator Donald Riegle and former Representative Mike Rogers. This aspect of the study more closely examines their respective career paths through congress and post-congressional vocations. 2 Introduction In 1974, Democratic Congresswoman Martha Griffiths announced her retirement from the House of Representatives citing her age, 62, as a key motivation for the decision. After this, Griffiths would serve two terms as Michigan Lieutenant Governor before being dropped off the ticket, at the age of 78, due to concerns about her age, a claim she deemed “ridiculous” (“Griffiths, Martha Wright”).

  • SEMCOG Records
    Part 1 THE SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS (SEMCOG) COLLECTION .. Papers, 1947-70 7t Linear Feet Accession Number 1008 L.C. Number MS The files and records of the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) and its predecessor agencies were transferred to the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in October 1980 by Paul E. Tait, Director of Administrative Services, SEMCOG. The first fifteen boxes of this col­ lection contain the files of the Detroit Metropolitan Area Regional Planning Commission (DRPC), which became the Planning Division of SEMCOG in 1968. The DRPC was established in 1947 by an act of the Michigan State Legisla­ ture and received financial support from the state and participating counties. Members counties included Wayne, Macomb and Oakland, with Monroe County participating from 1955-61 and Washtenaw County after 1961. The DRPC was directed by an Advisory Commission, whose members were appointed by the governor, and an Executive Committee. The function bf the DRPC was the coordination of planning programs in the area. It encouraged and assisted local planning programs, collected area planning data and provided a channel through which area planning programs could meet requirements for federal aid programs. In 1965, a special Transportation and Land Use Study (TALUS) was insti­ tuted to develop a comprehensive 1990 regional plan. This branch of the DRPC operated almost as an independent unit and received separate funding. It was phased out in 1969. In the mid-1960's, studies were conducted on means by which the various regional planning agencies, primarily the DRPC and another predecessor agency, the Supervisors Inter-County Committee (SICC), could coalesce into one regional agency to avoid duplication of programs and services.

I ‘ d' 10r"'= ‘ :99 ABSTRACT A POLITICAL HISTORY or TILE mat-mac BRIDGE The Mackinac Straits Bridge, which links Lichigan's two peninsulas is an imposing structure. Five miles long, it curves gracefully across the waters of the Great Lakes. Traffic moves swiftly and smoothly across its great length twelve months of the year. With a price tag of $100 million it is the product of man's imagination and a monument to man's persis- tance. The first proposals to bridge the Straits are found in Indian legends. Ever since the task of con- quering the travel barrier has colored man's thoughts. The concept of conneCting the two peninsulas traces thread-like down.through the pasn eighty years of Michigan's history. This is the story of the political loops and turns, knots and tangles in that thread. It is the story of the role and effect of the bridge in the politicalcampaigns of the twentieth century, which is pinpointed through analysis of election statistics. It is the story of Horatio Earle, Prentiss harsh Brown, Lmrray Van Wagoner, w.s. woodfill, and G, Lbnnen Williams, Although the bridge did not change the direction of Michigan political hiStory, it probably swayed its course simply because it was seized upon as an issue by candidates of every ilk and stripe.

  • An Administrative History of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (Introduction)
    The Pictured Rocks: An Administrative History of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (Introduction) Pictured Rocks An Administrative History INTRODUCTION One hundred years ago the north woods region of the American heartland was largely in private hands. It was the center of a rich and prosperous lumber industry, an important component in the national economy. Immigrants from foreign lands were drawn to the developing region by its abundant jobs and readily available land. One of the most remarkable, if little appreciated transitions in the history of American public lands, was the repossession of this region by government land managers during the century which followed. The administrative history of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore can only be understood in the context of a trend which saw the evolution of county, state and federal parks, forest, and game reserves in the Great Lakes region and the transition of the area from a forest products economy to a tourist destination. [1] The National Park Service was the last of the public agencies to turn its attention to the north woods and its problems of resource management and economic development. Isle Royale, the first national park in the north woods region, was established in 1941. Local efforts to establish parks at Indiana Dunes and Apostle Islands were frustrated by a federal establishment that failed to see the recreational potential of the inland seas. It was only with the Great Lakes Shoreline Survey in 1958 and the federal government's expansive approach to regional redevelopment in the early 1960s that the National Park Service became a force in the protection of Great Lakes landscapes.

    A1 Smith was truly a humble hero, not one to draw attention to himself. His parents didn’t learn of his award for over a month after it happened. When A1 moved to Detroit his uniform and Medal of Honor were relegated to a trunk with his other memorabilia. In fact, no one back home or in Detroit, (including the newspapers), had heard of Al’s heroism and that was okay with him. It was in 1944 when A1 Smith’s two sons by his first marriage, (his first wife. Thelma, died of cancer January 1, 1946), were preparing to enter military service and found out that their father held our nation’s highest decoration for valor 23 years after it was awarded. The sons, David Webster Smith and Philip Hart Smith, were both paratroopers in World War II and both were badly wounded. It was then that Philip heard that his father’s name was on a plaque in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. In 1958, 37 years after being awarded the Medal, A1 and his second wife, Edna, visited the Navy Yard to see the plaque. Naval officers told them that the plaque had been moved to Washington and was on a building. The Figure 4: S~nith as a Balloon Pilot. Smiths went to Washington but could find no trace of the building much less the plaque. At Edna’ insistence they Albert Smith stayed in the Marine Corps for another year, went to see their Congesswoman, Martha Griffiths, who attaining the rank of Sergeant, and qualified as a Balloon started making calls and that’s where "the balloon went Pilot (Figure 4) receiving Marine Corps qualification up." No one could find an official entry of Private Albert identification card number 50.
