The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 453.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Rose Mary Robinson.
Whereas, It is a great honor to congratulate Representative Rose Mary Robinson as she completes her tenure in the Michigan House of Representatives. Representative Robinson has been a passionate advocate for the people of Michigan and her constituents in the Fourth District; and
Whereas, Representative Robinson came to the Legislature after a distinguished career serving her community in Detroit. After earning a juris doctor from Wayne State University, Representative Robinson spent 40 years as a criminal defense attorney. She was also one of the first women to be elected to the Wayne County Commission in 1970, where she served for 12 years, and later served on the Detroit Charter Revision Commission; and
Whereas, Following her election to the House of Representatives in 2012, Representative Robinson quickly became known as an independent voice who was willing to ask tough questions. During her three terms, she was the minority vice chair of the Oversight and Ethics Committee and also served on committees dealing with criminal justice, the judiciary, financial liability reform, and families, children, and seniors; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Rose Mary Robinson for her notable contributions to this legislative body and to our state; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Robinson as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
