Reps. Chatfield and Marino offered the following resolution:

            House Resolution No. 42. 

            A resolution to declare March 20, 2017, as Snowplow Driver Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan.

            Whereas, Removing snow and ice during the winter months from hundreds of thousands of miles of streets and highways in Michigan is a monumental job; and

            Whereas, Michigan depends upon thousands of snowplow drivers who work long hours under severe weather conditions to ensure that the rest of us can travel to work, school, and other destinations; and

            Whereas, Throughout Michigan’s enduring winter season, snowplow drivers use their years of knowledge and skill in a determined effort to make roadways safer for all motorists as well as maintain the movement of goods and services to support our state’s businesses and commerce; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 20, 2017, as Snowplow Driver Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan. We ask that all residents of Michigan join in showing appreciation for the hard work and valuable service performed by snowplow drivers.
