Cynthia Johnson, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement: “Mr. Speaker and members of the House: Too often we, legislators, vote on Highway Bills not knowing who the people are or the backgrounds of them.

Of course, I support law enforcement but I can not just rubber stamp names. For these reasons, I must vote no.” Senate Bill No. 435, entitled A bill to amend 2001 PA 142, entitled “Michigan memorial highway act,” (MCL 250.1001 to 250.2081) by adding section 1075a.
