Protest
Senator McBroom, under his constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of Senate Bill No. 1112 and moved that the statement he made during the discussion of the bill be printed as his reasons for voting “no.”
The motion prevailed.
Senator McBroom’s statement is as follows:
Mr. President, I know that I stand alone on this and stood alone when we passed internet gaming last term, but I object to continuing to tie more and more of our future to these dollars. While this may seem like a practical solution, all this means in the future is that when we come to our senses and realize the damage and harm we’re doing to our families and communities with legalized gaming, it’s going to be that much harder to wean ourselves off it. I ask for a “no” vote.

The motion prevailed.
Senator Irwin’s statement, in which Senators Moss, Santana, Bayer, Polehanki, McCann, Bullock, Wojno, Chang, Hollier and Alexander concurred, is as follows:
I’ll keep it brief. Look, as I said in my previous statement, I think that when we have disasters, when we have emergencies, when people are dying in our state, we need to make sure our public health protections are in place and that doctors and medical professionals and public health professionals are in the driver’s seat, not politicians. We saw how politicians here in the Capitol tried to use this pandemic for political effect, and that put people’s lives at risk. I don’t think we should do that in the future and that’s why I’m saying let’s keep public health professionals in the driver’s seat and keep politicians off the wheel.
Senator Irwin asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Irwin’s statement is as follows:
As many of you probably know, this bill is a bill to take away power from our public health officials to enact public health protections that are longer than 28 days without coming back to the Legislature for approval. What my amendment would do is say that if, in the preceding 28 days, a thousand or more Michigan residents have died from that emergency, that the emergency can then continue without specific action from the Legislature. If we have an emergency, a disaster, maybe even another pandemic, that is taking a thousand lives every month, this amendment would say that our public health protections would still be in place and our public health professionals would still be the ones in the driver’s seat, not the politicians.

Protest
Senator Irwin, under his constitutional right of protest (Art. 4, Sec. 18), protested against the passage of House Bill No. 6193.
Senator Irwin’s statement is as follows:
Just very briefly, I wanted to get this on the record. Tried to fix this in committee, but House Bill No. 6193 also affects our building officials and I believe that what happened was just what happened now is that the Senate amended—I just want to alert my colleagues and the Journal to I think what is an unintended consequence of what was just passed. I tried to fix this in committee, but essentially it seems to me that the changes to the emergency powers act are all relative to the public health officials but this also affects our building officials. Usually in a city or a township, if you have a building that is unsafe and uninhabitable, the building official can come along and say this building needs to be tagged and marked as unsafe and uninhabitable, but through House Bill No. 6193 we just took that power away from local building officials. I don’t think that was intended and I wanted to include that in my “no” vote explanation.

I rise to urge my colleagues to support this measure. We allowed for limited pre-processing of absentee ballots during the last even-year general election to help clerks be more efficient with the increased number of absentee ballots from no-reason absentee voting that was created by Proposal 3 in 2018. This process worked very well.
The legislation before us would remove the sunset to allow clerks to again use this tool to efficiently and securely process absentee ballots. This bill would also allow additional communities to participate and increase the time available for clerks to pre-process ballots to ready them for counting on Election Day. The bill also adds important election integrity measures important to the people of Michigan. This includes bipartisan legislation to allow county clerks to help remove deceased individuals from the voter rolls. It also improves security standards for absentee ballot drop boxes, including maintaining appropriate chain-of-custody for absentee ballots.
Finally, this bill contains a tie-bar to important bipartisan legislation that would help our brave men and women serving out of the country in our military to more easily vote while using existing technology to ensure security of their ballots. This bill maintains important safeguards for pre-processing, including requiring election inspectors from both parties and allowing for challengers to be present during this process.
I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting this bill.
Senator Moss’ statement is as follows:
It’s not every day that a liberal Democrat from metro Detroit champions Florida’s laws, but here we are. Back in 2020, recognizing the influx in absentee voting, Democrats here in Michigan introduced legislation to process these absentee ballots two weeks before Election Day, just to catch up further to states like Florida which allows for 22 days of processing these ballots ahead of the election. Michigan Republicans in 2020 instead went with only 24 hours of pre-processing, just enough time and scope to say they did something while also creating that space and scope for bad actors working in bad faith to wreak havoc as absentee ballots were reported late into the night.
Adding one more day here in Michigan is a step in the right direction, and I will vote for it. But I don’t want anybody here on Election Day this year to fill any voids with conspiracy theories when ballots are still being counted on Election Night because we did not give clerks the same lead time that election administrators have in Florida and Ohio and Kentucky and Arkansas and states all across the country. We could go much, much further.

The substitute was concurred in, a majority of the members serving voting therefor, as follows:


context_text:
Whereas, The Inflation Reduction Act will allow nearly five hundred billion dollars in new spending by our federal government over the next decade, with almost eighty billion dollars being directed to the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) budget. The budget allocations of this law spell out the current Administration’s big-government intentions for the future of the IRS. Over forty-five billion dollars will be directed to “enforcement” while a meager three billion is expected to be used for “taxpayer services.” As part of these budgetary expansions, the IRS would hire eighty-seven thousand new employees, making this agency larger than the FBI, Pentagon, State Department, and Border Patrol combined. This Act is not intended to benefit Americans – it is just the latest development in this Administration’s police state agenda; and
Whereas, This bloating of the IRS’s budget and staff also comes at the same time Americans are learning of the massive stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by the government agency. The latest data, released in a 2020 report analyzing the militarization of federal agencies in years prior, found that the IRS had thousands of rifles, shotguns, pistols, and submachine guns as well as an arsenal of over five million rounds of ammunition. Additionally, a 2017 report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that the IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division repeatedly violated the civil rights of Americans under the guise of enforcing tax laws and seizing taxpayer property. Michiganders are right to fear a massive budget expansion for a tax collection agency that feels it necessary to arm itself to the teeth in pursuit of collecting our citizens’ hard-earned money with little to no restraint; and
Whereas, In 1974, then-President Gerald Ford warned Congress that “[a] government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.” This Administration represents just the latest installment in a half-century long tradition of paying no heed to past generations’ commonsense understanding that government should play a minimal role in our lives. As the only President who was a fellow Michigander, it is appropriate for our citizens to take seriously President Ford’s warning and strongly condemn this massive expansion of a federal agency that only exists by virtue of our collective tax dollars. The Inflation Reduction Act would hand over tens of billions of dollars to create an IRS big enough – and well-armed enough – to take whatever it wants from our citizens whenever it pleases; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we condemn the expansion of the Internal Revenue Service through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

I’d like to request to speak to the whole package at once so you don’t have to hear me multiple times.
I rise to oppose this legislation because this legislation is burning hot garbage. Now that’s not just said to insult the work product here that’s in front of us and that has been substituted so hastily to take what was once a good bill to promote recycling and twist it into burning hot garbage, but that’s what we have here today. What we’re talking about is redefining burning hot garbage as chemical recycling as part of a greenwashing campaign and it defines these processes as including pyrolysis and gasification. What is that? It’s burning hot garbage. If you look at House Bill No. 4455, the next bill in this package, it literally defines pyrolysis as burning hot garbage. It’s a manufacturing process in which polymers are heated in the absence of oxygen until melted and thermally decomposed. What wonderful sanitized language for us to consider today about the process of burning hot garbage. I would just ask you before you vote on this legislation, to think about the people downwind from that burning hot garbage. What is it they’re going to have to breathe? Think about the people who live in that neighborhood near that burning hot garbage and then ask yourself if you really want to continue to support this burning hot garbage.
