The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 348.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Matt Huuki.
Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for his commitment to the One hundred tenth District and our state and his notable efforts as a lawmaker that we join in expressing our respect and gratitude to our colleague Matt Huuki for his service as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives; and
Whereas, Matt Huuki is a proud son of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. After graduating from Houghton High School and attending Finlandia University, he started a small business and worked hard to ensure that he and his family could continue to call the U.P. their home. After becoming a member of the Keweenaw Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Businesses, he became keenly interested in the challenges facing small businesses. He brought his passion for the people and businesses of the U.P. with him to Lansing when he was elected to the House of Representatives in 2010; and
Whereas, During his time in Lansing, Representative Huuki shaped policy in a number of issue areas. He served as vice-chair of the Natural Resources, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation Committee and also sat on the Banking and Financial Services, the Health Policy, and the Transportation committees. He worked tirelessly to enact legislation to reduce the costs of government and bring good-paying jobs to the Upper Peninsula and all of Michigan. All told, Representative Huuki authored eleven public acts; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we commend and thank Representative Matt Huuki as he brings his legislative service to a close; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Huuki as evidence of our esteem and our best wishes.
