Rep. Barb Vander Veen, from the 89th District, offered the following invocation:

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me. Bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits--Who forgives all our iniquities; Who heals all our diseases; Who redeems our lives from destruction; Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; Who satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy towards those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him. Father, thank You for Your mercy. Thank You for being with us today as we deliberate in the House, and as we do the duties of the House for the state of Michigan. Thank You for all that You do and all that You are. In Jesus' name, Amen."

I voted no on the floor substitute to HB 5306 because the executive branch is currently reviewing and revamping the MEDC and this legislation would be counter-productive in governmental attempts to address job losses in the manufacturing sector. Frankly, adding another level of governmental bureaucracy does not seem to be an appropriate nor intelligent response to the problem, especially at a time in which this state has absorbed almost three billion dollars in cuts within one calendar year."

The motion prevailed, the time being 5:35 p.m.
