The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 354.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Mark Meadows.
Whereas, In acknowledgement of his distinguished service to the Sixty-ninth District and the entire state of Michigan, we commend and thank Mark Meadows. He is leaving the House of Representatives having earned the admiration and deep respect of the entire Michigan Legislature; and
Whereas, Mark Meadows has dedicated nearly four decades of his life to serving the state of Michigan and in particular East Lansing and Meridian Charter Township. After earning his Juris Doctor from Michigan State University College of Law, Mark Meadows served the state as an assistant attorney general for twenty-seven years. He served as East Lansing's mayor for eight years and as an East Lansing city councilman for eleven years. He brought his dedication to public service and his legal expertise to the Capitol as a lawmaker in 2006 when he was elected to the House of Representatives in a special election; and
Whereas, Michigan has benefitted from Mark Meadows' strong understanding of the challenges facing the state and his district and his commitment to helping others. Recognizing his extensive knowledge of the law, Representative Meadows was appointed to serve on the Judiciary Committee soon after coming to Lansing. He served as chair of the committee during the 2009-2010 legislative session and as the vice-chair in the 2011-2012 session. Representative Meadows' knowledge and problem solving skills have also benefited the deliberations of the Tax Policy and the Great Lakes and Environment committees. His notable legislative efforts include the introduction of anti-bullying legislation, legislation to provide medical amnesty to underage drinkers seeking medical care, and legislation to require the addition of a bittering agent to antifreeze to protect animals and children from poisoning. Mark Meadows over-arching commitment to children, working families, and seniors has never wavered in his three terms in the House of Representatives; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of gratitude and commendation to the Honorable Mark Meadows for his outstanding service; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Meadows as evidence of our esteem and best wishes.
