- The Senate agreed to the title of the bill. Senator Ananich asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal. The motion prevailed. Senator Ananich’s statement is as follows: I want to briefly comment on why I will be voting “yes”. The Commission’s counsel has put forth a legal opinion that we believe needs to be addressed. We simply want to get it cleared up to maximize transparency. That being said, let me assure you that the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission’s worst day is still a million times better for the people of Michigan than the best day of the old system, where Republicans drew the map in secret. Zero public hearings, zero public input. I was there ten years ago when these things happened behind closed doors. P eople I know met in secrecy and tried to buy off politicians with a promise of a better district. So any questions that need to be addressed with this Commission in its first year pale in comparison to how the majority used to lock up its own power. Thank you, again I ask for all of us to vote “yes” on this. The following bill was read a third time: Senate Bill No. 565, entitled A bill to make, supplement, and adjust appropriations for various state departments and agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022; to provide for certain conditions on appropriations; and to provide for the expenditure of the appropriations.
