House Resolution No. 446.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable David Maturen.
Whereas, With recognition for his service to this legislative body, we duly honor and thank Representative David Maturen. The residents of the Sixty-third District in Calhoun and Kalamazoo counties have been well-represented; and
Whereas, David Maturen attended Western Michigan University where he earned his bachelor's degree in business administration and his master's degree in public administration. He is a decorated U.S. Army veteran, having served from 1971 to 1973. He later worked for the Michigan Department of Treasury before starting his own real estate appraisal business. His qualifications and certifications in the field made for success and recognition, including seats on state and national industry governing boards. A stint as board member and president of the Michigan Riparian Magazine evidenced his love of, and dedication to, the Michigan outdoors. Prior to his election to the House of Representatives in 2014, Representative Maturen served on the Brady Township Board of Trustees for 14 years, then served on the Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners for 12 years, the last few as chair; and
Whereas, In his two terms in the Michigan House, Representative Maturen sponsored several successful bills on tax and health issues. He served as vice chair of the Tax Policy Committee as well as sitting on the Energy Policy, Local Government, Natural Resources, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Financial Liability Reform committees. His contributions in each of these varied areas are much appreciated; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable David Maturen 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 Maturen as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
