Members of the Michigan House of Representatives serve two-year
terms. The following votes took place during the 2001-2002
legislative session.Not voting counts as a negative in the
score. Representatives Humell, Drolet,and Palmer were elected
mid-term.Those votes t aken before their election to the House do
not count against them in their Overall Score.Rep.Kilpatrick left
the Michigan House upon his election as the Mayor of Detroit.Those
votes taken after he left the House do not count towards his
Overall Score.
1Subsidizing Air Pollution (HB 4792, PA 49 of 2001)
HB 4792 reauthorized the fee placed on power plants and large
stationary
sources of air pollution,which pays for the Department of
Environmental
Quality (DEQ) air permit and inspection program.However,the bill
that
passed the legislature will not raise enough money to run an
adequate
program.A "Yes" vote on this amendment offered by Rep.Kolb would
have
ensured adequate funding.Failed 37-60.
2Banning Directional Drilling 1 (HB 4259,PA 44 of 2001)
The scorecard contains two House votes on directional drilling
under the
Great Lakes because of its high-profile nature.This first vote
was an
amendment offered by Rep.Shackelton on the 2001-2002 Department
of
Natural Resources (DNR) Budget. A "Yes" on this amendment would
have
added one year to the moratorium on new directional
drilling.Failed 53-54.
3Banning Directional Drilling 2 (HB 5118 ,PA 148 of 2002)
Later in the session,due to intense public pressure brought by
environmental
groups,directional drilling was revisited by the legislature in
the form of a
stand-alone bill.A "Yes" vote on this legislation,sponsored by
Rep.
Shackelton,placed a permanent ban on new directional
drilling.Passed 98-7.
4Raiding Game and Fish Fund (HB 4912,PA 50 of 2001)
HB 4912 was an attempt by the Engler administration to raid the
Game and
Fish Protection Fund.The Fund is comprised primarily of dollars
paid for
hunting and fishing licenses and is dedicated to habitat
improvement.A "Yes"
vote on this amendment,offered by Rep.Birkholz, retained the
fund as a Trust
Fund,which will help ensure the integrity of the fund and
protect it against
further raids.Passed 96-7.
5Banning Mercury Thermometer Sales (HB 4599, passed House and
Senate)
Mercury is a potent neuro-toxin that has been shown to cause
birth defects in
infants and reproductive harm in women of child bearing
age.Digital
thermometers are readily available and are relatively
inexpensive substitutes.
A "Yes" vote on this bill,sponsored by Rep.Minor,makes the sale
of mercury
thermometers illegal beginning January 1,2003.Passed 97-9.
6Promoting Beach Safety Awareness (HB 4719,passed House and
Senate)
Beach closings due to unsafe and contaminated water have been a
chronic
problem in Michigan for the past decade.A "Yes" vote on this
bill,sponsored
by Rep.Birkholz, required public beaches to post a notice
stating whether or
not they test and,if they do,where beach users can obtain the
most recent
test results. Passed 94-11.
7Exercising Government Oversight (SB 1104,Sent to Governor)
Earlier this year,the Senate passed the DEQ budget with language
designed
to correct a failing wetland mitigation program and report on
enforcement of
our environmental laws.However,the final version stripped this
language and
further cut program budgets. A "No" vote on this bill means
taking more
responsibility for government oversight to ensure the DEQ is
protecting
public health and natural resources.Passed 60-44.
8Protecting Pollution Prevention Programs (HB 4626, PA 165 of
2001)
During the process of reauthorization of hazardous waste
fees,the law was
changed to allow funds previously dedicated for pollution
prevention
programs to cover operating expenses. In the past, program costs
have been
paid for directly using hazardous waste fees. A "Yes" vote on
this
amendment,offered by Rep. Callahan would have stopped the raid
and
ensured full funding of pollution prevention programs.Failed
40-60.
