Senator McBroom’s statement is as follows:
Mr. President, I have a guest here with me today. Many of you know Joy Brewer who’s been a clerk in the Senate and a clerk in the House as well as a staffer for more than 30 years, and she’s retiring this week. I have written up a special tribute for her that I’d like to read. If you’ve ever had the chance to work with Joy, you know a little bit about her delivery and style, so you’re going to notice a little bit of that in this tribute.
So you see what happens is, Joy Brewer has spent decades in service to the people of Michigan by working for them in the State Capitol. She has dedicated more than 30 years to the people of the state by working for members in their offices or as a clerk in both the House and the Senate. What happened was, her time in the Senate began as clerk for Senator Patty Birkholz, chair of Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs, in 2003. From 2007 to 2010, Clerk Brewer was assigned to train and supervise Senate committee clerks by Majority Leader Bishop. Afterward, she returned to serving in the House until now.
What happened was, much like her time in the House, Joy always kept a close eye out for people and the land of the Upper Peninsula—her birthplace, and where her heart always resides. Always one for process and proper procedure, Clerk Brewer never would improperly push outside the job description for nonpartisan staff to advocate or lobby for a position. However, every chair, member, and lobbyist could be certain that if there was a U.P. angle to an issue, there was somebody—I’m not sure who—who would make sure that someone would bring it up and make it known. Countless residents of the U.P. knew they could get in touch with Joy about their problems and that she would forward them on to a legislator. Legislators knew that Joy could get them in touch with the right U.P. person on nearly any issue for the west end or the Keweenaw.
What happened was, as much as Joy Brewer’s heart has always been for the U.P., she so always had enough heart for everyone in Lansing too. Joy is a determined prayer warrior for all those in need of prayer. She cooked for her colleagues, put on parties, organized cookies, soup, and other food for those in need. She invited numerous people to her home for Swedish Christmas and introduced countless downstaters to U.P. fare and wares such as pastys, Sayklly’s, Trenary Toast, Stormy Kromer, and properly-proportioned state of Michigan pins.
So you see what happens is, Joy Brewer is a woman with a true servant’s heart. She cares deeply for her family, sons Jason and Justin, daughter-in-law Janet, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, her community of the U.P., and her community at the Capitol. She lives the Scripture that says, In all you do, work with all your heart as working for the Lord. We will deeply miss her friendship, kindness, indomitable spirit, resilience, and respect for the rules of fair play and proper procedure. We wish her the best in her retirement, knowing that none of her wonderful attributes will retire, but only be transferred on to her next endeavors.

Resolutions
Senator Lindsey offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 30.
A resolution to recognize April 15-22, 2023, as International Dark Sky Week.
Whereas, Michigan was the first state in the Union to initiate Dark Sky Preserves; and
Whereas, There are nine dark sky preserves in Michigan, three of which are internationally designated dark sky parks; and
Whereas, Our state is best known for three internationally designated dark sky parks, Headlands International Sky Park in Mackinaw City, Dr. T.K. Lawless Park in Vandalia, and Keweenaw Mountain Lodge in Copper Harbor; and
Whereas, These parks are designated areas that allow for thousands of astrotourists to see the true beauty of the Michigan night sky, and to observe the wonder of meteorological events such as the Northern Lights; and
Whereas, Astrotourism helps bring unique economic opportunities into our state; and
Whereas, We aim to spread awareness about
dark sky preserves and the negative impact light pollution may have on them and
on the human population; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize April 15-22, 2023, as International Dark Sky Week; and be it further
Resolved, That we continue to support the success of dark sky parks across Michigan and show continued devotion to preserving access to the night sky.
Senator Singh moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Senator Bayer was named co-sponsor of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Lindsey’s statement is as follows:
Today I offer Senate Resolution No. 30, recognizing April 15-22 as International Dark Sky Week. International Dark Sky Week encourages everyone to reconnect with the benefits of a dark, star-filled sky. This concept is simple, yet profound. As long as humans have walked the earth, we have looked to the night sky with awe and wonder. The heavens have inspired us for as long as we’ve been able to see them.
Personally, as a young boy, I can remember gazing into the mystery of the night sky with both a recognition of my smallness and a deep call to ponder and pursue mysteries of the world around me and beyond. Like many, I dreamed of being an astronaut. I guess you could say I shot for the stars and landed somewhere else.
When I left the small farm where I grew up in southern Michigan to attend college, I remember a feeling that something was profoundly different, even missing, in my new environment. It took time and a return home to rural Michigan to realize it wasn’t simply a matter of social differences that felt off to me, it was the fact that I could rarely glimpse the wonder of the night sky, something that I had taken for granted growing up in an area with little light pollution.
Later in life, the stars impacted me again. This time during a deployment to Afghanistan. I wrote my wife, asking her to go outside in the evenings and look at the stars, promising that I would do the same. A world apart, we could still look at the same stars despite the separation of distance, time and even war; the night sky was a shared point of reference, something real we could use to connect.
Finally, I now have the privilege of watching my children learn about the cosmos. My other experiences pale in comparison to the feeling of joy as I watch my son gaze at the stars through his first telescope and begin to ask questions about what’s out there.
We all have our own stories of connection to the night sky and the heavenly bodies we see there. We also have shared stories. As Americans we have a proud heritage as our nation, during the space race, answered the stars longstanding invitation to explore, to push beyond the boundaries of our earthly home. The great innovations that led to those achievements are tied directly to the inspiration we draw from looking into the night sky and the questions it has caused us to ponder.
More recently, as technology has advanced, especially the ability to capture video, an increase in footage of unidentified aerial phenomena has increased questions that have also been asked for a long time, such as, Are we alone? Yes, my resolution today is about recognizing International Dark Sky Week, but really it is about hope and inspiration. In the words of a famous astronomer, “Astronomy is useful because it raises us above ourselves; it is useful because it is grand… It shows us how small is man’s body, how great his mind, since his intelligence can embrace the whole of this dazzling immensity, where his body is only an obscure point, and enjoy its silent harmony.”
We live in a time where politics are tense and the future uncertain. I do not know how we will make it through, but I do know it will require hope and inspiration. It is in that spirit that I ask for your support for this resolution. Thank you.
Senators Singh and Anthony offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 31.
A resolution to recognize April 9-15, 2023, as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (NPSTW).
Whereas, The safety of Michigan’s residents and visitors is of utmost importance and emergency response is a critical component in ensuring that safety; and
Whereas, 911 public safety telecommunicators
are an integral part of the emergency response system, playing a crucial and
life-saving role by answering and prioritizing calls for police, fire, and
medical assistance, while also providing essential medical instructions to
callers and coordinating the dispatch of emergency personnel; and
Whereas, There are approximately 2,200 highly skilled public safety telecommunicators in Michigan serving a population of approximately 10 million, who possess a unique set of skills including the ability to manage high levels of stress, communicate clearly and calmly under pressure with life and death situations, and multitask effectively at an extreme level to provide efficient responses and essential information to responders; and
Whereas, Michigan public safety telecommunicators process an average of 6.5 million 911 calls annually, demonstrating the critical nature of their work to ensure the safety and security of our communities; and
Whereas, The first point of contact between the public and emergency services during a crisis is public safety telecommunicators, and their ability to accurately assess and respond to emergency situations is essential to the safety and well-being of everyone involved; and
Whereas, Public safety telecommunicators are required to have strong communication skills, active listening, quick thinking and decision-making, multitasking, knowledge of local resources and emergency protocols, and emotional stability, all while keeping the responding personnel safe; and
Whereas, Often, public safety telecommunicators handle difficult and traumatic situations, such as death, suicide, abuse, and other traumatic events and are required to maintain accuracy and composure in high pressure situations; and
Whereas, National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week initially started in 1981 by the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office in California. In 1994, President William J. Clinton signed a Presidential Proclamation declaring the second week of April as NPSTW; and
Whereas, This week is a time to celebrate and thank telecommunications personnel across Michigan who serve our communities, citizens, and public safety personnel 24 hours a day, seven days a week; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize April 9-15, 2023, as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (NPSTW). We acknowledge public safety telecommunicators as first responders for their vital and life-saving roles in emergency response and their highly specialized skill set; and be it further
Resolved, That we express our deep appreciation to all public safety telecommunicators in Michigan for their unwavering dedication, professionalism, and exceptional service to our communities. We also recognize the unique skills necessary for them to adapt to changing circumstances and navigate complex and rapidly-evolving situations.
Senator Singh moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Senator Geiss was named co-sponsor of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Singh’s statement is as follows:
I rise today in support of Senate Resolution No. 31, which would commemorate the second week in April as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in the state of Michigan—those who are 9-1-1 operators throughout our state. This group of dedicated people look at their work every single day never seeking the spotlight and it brings me great honor to officially offer appreciation on behalf of the state of Michigan and this body.
As many Senators, staff in this chamber, and many of our family and friends here in the mid-Michigan area witnessed and experienced first-hand if they were listening to the scanner the night of the tragedy at Michigan State University, you heard our 9-1-1 operator with poise, with dignity, with professionalism, answer call after call with an assurance and an ability to have calm in a very unknowing time. These public servants are working behind the scenes with unwavering poise and the uncertainty of never knowing what challenge the next call might bring. Their work isn’t accompanied by flashing lights and sirens but make no mistake, they are often the first responders to tragedies in our community.
Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been
working with my capital-area colleague, the good Senator from the 21st
District, to address the misclassification of these employees delivering such critical
services to our neighbors. We hope to have more on that issue soon, but today
please join me in supporting this resolution to let our public safety
communicators, our 9-1-1 operators throughout the state of Michigan know that
we value and honor their work and thank them for their service to the state of
Michigan.
Senators Hoitenga and Damoose offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 32.
A resolution to urge the Department of Natural Resources to deny the Michigan National Guard’s request to expand the Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center.
Whereas, The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is currently considering a proposal to greatly expand the Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center despite resounding and repeated opposition from Michiganders across the state. Camp Grayling comprises a 148,000-acre area in the northern Lower Peninsula, already making it the largest National Guard training area in the United States. Last year, the Michigan National Guard requested a 162,000-acre expansion of the facility, which would more than double its current size. Following this request, the DNR sought public comment on the proposal which was met with numerous negative responses from concerned citizens, environmental groups, and local governments statewide. The DNR is a state agency that exists to serve the people of Michigan and should take seriously the concerns that have been expressed by these parties – concerns that we reiterate here; and
Whereas, The proposed expansion of Camp Grayling is completely contradictory to the purpose underlying our Department of Natural Resources. MCL 324.503(1) provides that the DNR is to “protect and conserve the natural resources of this state[,] provide and develop facilities for outdoor recreation[,] prevent the destruction of timber and other forest growth by fire or otherwise[,] promote the reforesting of forestlands belonging to this state[,] prevent and guard against the pollution of lakes and streams within this state and enforce all laws provided for that purpose with all authority granted by law.” Further, in its own mission statement, the DNR has expressed its commitment “to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state’s natural and cultural resources for current and future generations.” Expanding Camp Grayling against the wishes of so many concerned Michiganders across our state and without regard for the serious implications that the proposal has introduced would defy the ideals the DNR stands for; and
Whereas, This expansion risks creating new and exacerbating existing detrimental effects on Michigan’s treasured natural resources, risks that the DNR should recognize as unacceptable. The areas comprising the proposed expansion would include vital forests comprising one of the precious few habitats for the Kirtland’s Warbler as well as portions of Dead Stream Swamp, a National Natural Landmark and one of the largest white cedar swamps in the United States. Introducing new uses, including proposed electromagnetic warfare training, to these areas does nothing but raise new potential risks to the flora and fauna that exist therein. And, as the proposal is being considered, there are efforts underway to contain and clean per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – commonly known as PFAS – already present across the current Camp Grayling area, prompting the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Grayling Post to oppose the expansion. The DNR should pay heed to the reasonable and widespread concerns that expanding military activities into these new areas raise; and
Whereas, The people of Michigan have the right to demand accountability from state agencies like the DNR and direct such agencies to act in accordance with their wishes and well-being. Michiganders across the state – but especially those in the northern Lower Peninsula – value the recreational and sporting activities that are possible in our pristine rivers, lakes, wetlands, grasslands, and forestlands. We must remain steadfast in protecting all our natural resources to maintain our reputation as the most beautiful state for hunting and fishing enthusiasts, outdoorsmen, and visiting tourists in the nation. And, alongside fellow states in the Great Lakes region and Canada, Michigan has a duty to protect our invaluable freshwater supply – a supply that accounts for 20% of the entire world’s fresh surface water – and be guarded against any proposed activities that would threaten such a vital natural resource. These are resources that are recognized, revered, and treasured by Michiganders. We must be steadfast in demanding that all state agencies – especially the DNR – work on behalf of these interests and acts to represent the will of the people voiced today in this Chamber; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we urge the Department of Natural Resources to deny the Michigan National Guard’s request to expand the Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the State of Michigan; the Director of the Department of Natural Resources; the Director of the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; and leadership of the Michigan National Guard.
Pursuant to rule 3.204, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
Senator McCann offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 33.
A resolution to designate April 2023 as Community College Month.
Whereas, Community College Month is an
appropriate time to acknowledge community colleges and the important
contributions they make to the richness and accessibility of post-secondary
education; and
Whereas, The leaders and staff of community colleges are fully devoted to the praiseworthy mission of providing relevant academic and technical coursework leading to industry-recognized credentials; and
Whereas, Each year, Michigan’s community colleges enroll 270,000 students while granting 19,400 degrees and 6,100 certificates. In Michigan, 52 percent of students who earn bachelor’s degrees have completed courses at a community college; and
Whereas, Investing in community colleges helps meet the real and immediate challenges of economic development, student achievement, and competitiveness; and
Whereas, Students of all ages and backgrounds who attend these exceptional schools receive a superb education and earn degrees, certificates, and training that help them become skilled members of a workforce that propels economic growth and encourages learning and culture; and
Whereas, The strength and success of Michigan’s community colleges, the vitality of its communities, and the effectiveness of our American society depend upon excellent organizations, exemplified by community colleges; and
Whereas, We honor and salute Michigan’s 31 community and tribal colleges in recognition of April 2023 as Michigan Community College Month; and
Whereas, It is altogether proper and fitting for this legislative body to pause in its deliberations and recognize Michigan’s community colleges, affirming their importance to the citizens of this state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body designate April 2023 as Community College Month; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the continued awareness of community college job training for Michigan students to ensure the sustainability of our workforce for the years to come.
Senator Singh moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Senators Geiss and Hertel were named co-sponsors of the resolution.
Statements
The motion prevailed.
Senator Theis’ statement is as follows:
Yesterday our Appropriations Committee met and one thing we didn’t take up was the money that could be transferred to Gotion. Every aspect of Gotion battery plant near Big Rapids from conception to the transfer of the money, along with hundreds of millions of dollars more in incentives, is beyond concerning. There is a reason why this whole deal has been so secretive.
First, the Gotion plant represents a great environmental risk to our state, especially along the Muskegon River where the plant is to be built. We need to be concerned about that. We need to be concerned about downriver and where it empties into our Great Lakes, and the surrounding communities. EV battery components are volatile, combustible, and hugely toxic. It warrants caution and concern at every level. Gotion has not produced evidence of its environmental record. We don’t know if an environmental impact study has been done—in fact, all of my research shows that it hasn’t; it should be. This is going to be a huge plant and if an accident occurs, it would be devastating to the environment for years to come.
My second concern is for the health and safety of Michigan citizens. A toxic event at that site would endanger residents, impacting air, water, and land, causing evacuations like we’ve seen recently in Ohio and Indiana. The too-few local first responders are—through no fault of their own—completely incapable of handling an event like this. It would require more resources, more people, more equipment, all at significant cost to locals which they cannot afford. At the same time, Gotion won’t be required to pay local taxes to help support these efforts. A catastrophic event along the highway also poses great risks to life and infrastructure. These risks could have long-lasting economic consequences.
Third, Gotion is a national security
threat. I’ve seen it brushed off but we need to pay attention. We shouldn’t be
giving away land and tax dollars to a company that can take orders from the
Chinese Communist Party. The national security threat is greater considering
potential armed conflict between the U.S. and China, especially with respect to
Taiwan. It’s not crazy to think that the Gotion plant could be weaponized in
such a scenario.
For these reasons, I will be voting “no” on this project should it come to a vote in the Appropriations Committee. I’m asking for our committee to do a serious deep dive on the implications associated with this particular project. I encourage my colleagues and Michigan residents to become better informed of these very real risks and not just blindly accept Gotion’s narrative. The plant’s looming disaster is likely; it’s too great a risk to ignore. And if it’s approved, Michigan will soon regret this decision.
The motion prevailed.
