91st Legislature

REGULAR SESSION OF 2002

House Chamber, Lansing, Wednesday, January 9, 2002.

12:00 o'clock Noon.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Constitution, the Representatives assembled in Representative Hall in the Capitol at Lansing on the second Wednesday in January, the 9th of January, 2002 at 12:00 o'clock Noon, and in accordance with law, were called to order by the Honorable Rick Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Rep. Larry DeVuyst, from the 93rd District, offered the following invocation:

"Today, I want to offer a prayer for our country. Almighty God, You have given us this great land as our heritage. We humbly pray that we may always remember Your generosity and faithfully do Your will. Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education and an honorable way of life. Defend our liberties and strengthen the resolve of the people who have come from throughout the world to make America their home. Lead us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong. Help us to appreciate the opportunities that are ours as we struggle to bring harmony to an unsettled world. May we balance our concern for justice with a willingness to display mercy, and may our concern for security be tempered with a willingness to take risks which will produce worthwhile change for the good of all people. O Lord, we pray for Your guidance as we work together for the best interest of our communities, our nation, the world, and the ultimate goal of peace. When times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful and in troubled times may our deepest trust be in You. Amen."

By the direction of the Speaker, the Clerk called the roll of the House of Representatives and announced that a quorum was present.

A resolution honoring Glenn Marshall upon his retirement after 29 outstanding years of service to Michigan workers and their families.

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that Glenn Marshall has put forth on behalf of the people of the state of Michigan that we offer this expression of thanks and best wishes in his retirement. As the people of the state of Michigan recognize the loyalty and devotion of this conscientious individual, we add our sentiments of gratitude for a job well done; and

Whereas, In his 29 years of service to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO, Glenn Marshall has been working in the public arena during an era of great change. As Glenn Marshall has experienced, financial pressures and changing expectations have combined to make the recent past a challenging work environment. With the personal sense of duty that Glenn Marshall brings to work each day, however, he has been able to meet this challenge with enthusiasm and a genuine interest in efficiency in service to the workers of this state.
