            The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

            House Resolution No. 436.

            A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Tim Greimel.

            Whereas, It is with pleasure that we extend this expression of thanks to Representative Tim Greimel as he brings to a close his tenure with the Michigan House of Representatives. In these past six years, he has shown tremendous dedication and commitment to the Twenty-ninth District and this body, often from a position of leadership; and

            Whereas, A graduate of the University of Michigan, where he received a bachelor's degree in economics and political science, master's degree in public policy, and juris doctor, Tim Greimel went on to become an attorney in labor, employment, and civil rights. The former Sunday school teacher was a member and president of the local school board and a member of the Transform Pontiac Now Board, Pontiac Youth Assistance Board, and Pontiac Veterans Memorial Committee. As a member of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, Representative Greimel established a small business micro-loan program; and

            Whereas, First elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in a February 2012 special election, Representative Greimel has served with distinction, putting his expertise and leadership to good use. He was elected Democratic leader by the caucus in late 2012 and went on to serve two full terms in that capacity from 2013 through 2016. Through his many roles, including as the minority vice chair on the Insurance, Judiciary, and Government Operations committees, he steadfastly advanced policies that bettered the lives of Michiganders. His presence and counsel in this chamber will be missed; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Tim Greimel for his notable contributions to this legislative body and to our state; and be it further

            Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Greimel as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
