Senator Lana Theis of the 22nd District offered the following invocation:

From Psalm 33:14-22,

 

From his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.

 

No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

 

We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.

 

Lord, please give this Legislature ears to hear the cries of our citizens and the knowledge to improve what is within our purview. We ask Your forgiveness and grace, and we pray You give this body wisdom, discernment, and a peace that passes all understanding so that we can better serve the people of Michigan. We pray Your will is done on Earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

 

The President pro tempore, Senator Moss, led the members of the Senate in recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

A resolution to designate September 2023 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Whereas, According to the American Childhood Cancer Organization, an estimated 15,780 children between the ages of birth through 19 are diagnosed with cancer each year; and

Whereas, In 2023 alone, an estimated 9,910 new cases have been diagnosed; and

Whereas, Our goal is to increase awareness about childhood cancer, which is the leading cause of death by disease for children under the age of 14; and

Whereas, We honor the extraordinary resilience, courage, and strength of those who this harmful disease has effected; and

Whereas, Children’s cancer affects all ethnic, gender, and socio-economic groups; and

Whereas, Since the mid-1970s, advancements have been made in the fight against childhood cancer. Due to major treatment strides in recent decades, more than 80 percent of children with cancer now survive five years or more; and

Whereas, Increased awareness, support, and research will help to further improve outcomes and protect children from these serious diseases; and

Whereas, We must renew our commitment to curing childhood cancer and offer our support to the brave young people who are fighting this disease; and

Whereas, To honor the memory of every young person lost to cancer, we must unite behind improved treatment, advanced research and data, and brighter futures for young people; and

Whereas, We recognize the amazing strength, perseverance, and optimism of the families and friends of children who suffer from these devastating illnesses; and

Whereas, We acknowledge the medical professionals, researchers, and others who dedicate their time to search for new and safer treatments and cures; and

Whereas, All children deserve the chance to be healthy and find joy and fulfillment in their childhoods, as they deserve the chance to realize their full potential and grow into adults; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body designate September 2023 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Senator Geiss asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Geiss’ statement is as follows:

I rise today to offer Senate Resolution No. 69, to recognize September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Cancer at any age is horrific and traumatizing for the patient and their families. From chemotherapy drugs, of which there are over 100 different kinds—intravenous and oral; to radiation, both photon and proton; to surgeries that can range from one to multiple; to frequent blood draws to gauge the counts of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, neutrophils and more; to frequent CT scans, MRIs, and echocardiograms, all over the course of months to years; port or PICC line care; not to mention the wide range and compounded side-effects of cancer care, and additional medications to minimize those side effects and mitigate the harm chemotherapy has on healthy organs, childhood cancer is a waking nightmare, especially for the youngest members of our communities who miss out on school, playing with friends, and just getting to be a regular kid.

According to the American Childhood Cancer Organization, in the U.S., an estimated 15,780 children between the ages of birth to 19 are diagnosed with cancer each year—in Michigan, it’s nearly 500 diagnoses. This year in 2023, an estimated 9,910 new cases are anticipated to be diagnosed nationally. Nationally, last year in 2022, 10,470 children—birth to 14 years—and 5,480 adolescents aged 15-19 are estimated to have been diagnosed with cancer—my daughter among them. Gratefully, thanks to the amazing care of her oncology team, she was not among the 14 percent of children in the U.S. who died last year from cancer.

Childhood cancer affects all ethnic, gender, and socio-economic groups, and can be environmental, hereditary, or from a rare chromosomal shift—as in my daughter’s case of synovial sarcoma. Childhood cancer awareness is also why I wear gold and yellow today, as gold is the commemorative color for childhood cancer awareness and yellow is for my daughter’s specific type of cancer.

We are lucky to live in a time with heightened research and attention on childhood cancer, and to be able to benefit from the advancements that have been made since the mid-1970s in the fight against it. Because of major treatment strides in recent decades, more than 80 percent of children with cancer now survive five years or more. But every day is fraught with worry that it may recur, that remission—once granted—might be temporary.

We must renew our commitment to curing childhood cancer and offer our support to the brave young people who are fighting these diseases. We must also improve our data tracking of the different types of childhood cancer. Interestingly enough, at last check—yesterday—the MiTracking Data Portal only tracks the top two most commonly diagnosed childhood cancers: Leukemias—which are cancers of the blood and bone marrow—and brain and central nervous system tumors. It does not track lymphomas, sarcomas, or other solid tumor childhood cancers. We can, and should, do better.

We must honor the remarkable superheroes on the pediatric cancer units across the state—nurses, doctors, social workers and child life teams, physical therapists, and so many others who provide the best care while taking care of families at our lowest points. We must especially honor the memory of every kid lost to cancer and the gaping chasm left in the lives of their families.

We must unite behind improved treatment, advanced research and data, and brighter futures for young people. With increased awareness, support, and research we will improve outcomes further and protect children from these serious diseases, and maybe one day cure childhood cancer completely so that they have the chance to be healthy, find joy and fulfillment in their childhoods, and have the chance to realize their full potential and grow into adults who will hopefully have long lives ahead of them.

Senators Cavanagh, Irwin, Moss, McCann, Bayer and Camilleri offered the following resolution:

Senate Resolution No. 70.

A resolution to designate September 15-October 15, 2023, as Hispanic Heritage Month.

Whereas, There has been a long and important presence of Hispanic and Latino Americans in North America and the United States of America; and

Whereas, This month represents the anniversary of independence for Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua; and

Whereas, Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America; and

Whereas, The United States recognizes the economic, cultural, and social contributions that Spanish-speaking people have brought to our nation, including the gifts of law, religion, agriculture, art, music, education, technology, architecture, cuisine, theater, and exploration; and

Whereas, Throughout our nation’s history, time and again, Hispanic-Americans have faithfully defended the principles of freedom and a representative government; and

Whereas, Hispanic Heritage Week was approved by President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period from September 15 to October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, as Public Law 100-402; and

Whereas, Michigan is fortunate to count among its population a large concentration of citizens of Spanish and Latin American descent. Those who have lived in this state for generations as well as new residents contribute to our economy and society through their commitment to professions, commerce, family, and the arts; and

Whereas, During this month, Michigan’s Hispanic-American community celebrates through a series of special programs featuring Hispanic history, food, dance, and art; and

Whereas, Hispanic Heritage Month is the period of time in the United States when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the United States and celebrate their varied heritage, background, and culture; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body designate September 15-October 15, 2023, as Hispanic Heritage Month.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Senators Cherry, Geiss, Polehanki, Santana, Webber, Anthony, Bellino, Brinks, Damoose, Hauck, Hertel, Huizenga, Klinefelt, Lauwers, McDonald Rivet, McMorrow, Outman, Shink, Singh, Victory and Wojno were named co-sponsors of the resolution.

 

 

Senator Cavanagh asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Cavanagh’s statement is as follows:

I rise today in support of my resolution—Senate Resolution No. 70—a resolution recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month, a month of celebration of history, culture, and innovative contributions the Hispanic community has woven into the vibrant tapestry of our great state of Michigan.

Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15 to October 15 and it is a time to honor our achievements and all Hispanic communities throughout Michigan. This annual celebration was once a week-long observation in 1968 under President Lyndon B. Johnson, but later expanded to a month-long by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to commemorate the anniversaries of independence for several Latin American communities, including Mexico, Chile, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Costa Rica. Over 500,000 Michigan residents from every single Senate district across the state can trace their heritage to Latin or Central American countries. This is over 5 percent of the state’s total population—and we’re growing.

Our presence is deeply embedded in the fabric of our society, contributing cultural diversity, economic vitality, and a unique flavor that makes Michigan so special. It is vital to know the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans does not begin and end in agriculture or Taco Tuesdays. We sit in boardrooms, classrooms, and fire houses; we are doctors, we serve in the military, and we serve in chambers and as chairs in the Legislature.

In 1998, Belda Garza made history by becoming the first Latinx legislator in the state of Michigan. This achievement paved the way for many others, including myself, as we sought to make our voices heard in the halls of government. Although it was over 25 years ago, I am still only one of 14 members of the Latino community to ever serve in the Legislature. Underrepresented in government, our community is often overlooked, underprioritized, and often confined to our peoples’ understanding of who we are and what we need.

As I stand before you today, I am a testament of the importance of embracing one’s roots, heritage, and history. You see, I moved here from San Diego when I was five years old. Growing up, I was told to not speak Spanish to avoid being teased or disadvantaged due to my accent, to shy away from anything that might reveal my heritage through clothes and cultural symbols out of fear of looking too Mexican, as it was more beneficial to conform. It wasn’t until my time in the House of Representatives that I discovered the transformative power of embracing one’s true self. It was then that I realized how special it is to be different, to embrace your history and heritage, and the importance of representation. The pride I discovered as a daughter of a Mexican immigrant as the chair of the Latino caucus signifies the importance of this month for hundreds of thousands of residents of Hispanic backgrounds throughout the state.

My journey illustrates the profound impact that representation and inclusivity can have on the trajectory of a young person’s life and underscores the importance of creating a Michigan where everyone feels welcomed and valued. Being the youngest elected Latina ever elected to the Michigan State Senate and serving as Appropriations chair for Labor and Economic Opportunity is life-changing, not only for myself but for every Hispanic Michigander. Having the unique opportunity to advocate and invest in areas that embrace diversity, equity, immigrants, housing, and workforce development allows for a more prosperous and inclusive state. As we consider this resolution, let us remember that it is not merely symbolic. It is a call to action, urging us to pass policies that positively impact diverse communities. These policies should address critical issues such as drive-safe, language access, increased affordability, protecting voting security, and immigrants’ rights. Let us use this resolution as a springboard for creating legislation, policy, and budgetary decisions that truly embrace our great state.

Thank you, and I urge my colleagues to support this resolution.

 

 

Statements

 

 

Senator Albert asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Albert’s statement is as follows:

Mr. President, I rise today having just read a disturbing and disappointing investigative report in the Detroit Free Press that details how our Governor through her political operatives has sought to disparage and discredit local Marshall residents opposed to a large-scale factory project in their backyards. These people are not elected officials, they’re not politicians, they’re just concerned citizens. One 62-year-old gentleman is the manager of a local Family Dollar and this effort connected to the Governor put his face on a mass mailing across his community with a giant red X through it. What are we doing here? How low can we go? Too many citizens already feel like their government and politicians have stacked the deck against them. They can’t possibly stand up to the bureaucracy and those with deep pockets; here’s our Governor proving them right. Using bottomless campaign coffers to intimidate people who disagree with her, this flies in the face of the values we hold dear as Americans. It is unjust to squash someone simply because they dissent. Do you really have to use a dark-money campaign with no accountability to try and discredit people who oppose this project? Why not have an open and transparent debate about the project on its merits instead? Just convince people it’s a good project.

I will have more to say about this and how the Governor and her allies are running their economic development activities in the near future, but today I want to register my deep disappointment in the actions of our Governor and her team.
