Context text
“Mr. Speaker and members of the House: I voted no on this bill because it isn’t really a bill about allowing alcohol sales, rather, it’s a bill that changes the threshold needed to put the vote to the public. If the community wants to allow alcohol sales to be on the ballot, there is already a democratic process in place. This bill seeks to change that process simply because the threshold isn’t being met. To me, this seems like a dangerous precedent. In a democracy, we accept our wins and losses based on popular vote. To change the rules because you didn’t get the desired outcome is a slippery slope that undermines democratic principles.” House Bill No. 4017, entitled A bill to amend 1974 PA 154, entitled “Michigan occupational safety and health act,” by amending section 35 (MCL 408.1035), as amended by 2024 PA 17. Was read a third time and passed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor, by yeas and nays as follows:
