The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 469.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Jim Tedder.
Whereas, It is with great appreciation for his commitment to the people of the Forty-third District, as well as the entire state, that we honor Representative Jim Tedder on his retirement from the Michigan House of Representatives after four years of dedicated service; and
Whereas, Jim Tedder joined the Legislature in 2015, bringing with him a wealth of public and private sector experience. A graduate of Central Michigan University and Oakland University, where he received his bachelor's and master's degrees, respectively, he started his own business in 1987, Jim Tedder Productions. He also served as a public school teacher, coach, behavior interventionist, and for six years, as a lecturer at his alma mater, Oakland University. In addition to being a leader in several local civic clubs, including the Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce, Waterford Area Chamber of Commerce, Clarkston Rotary Club, and Clarkston Foundation, the former cubmaster worked on state and local policy for the National Association of Home Builders and the Associated Builders and Contractors; and
Whereas, Representative Tedder's tenure in the Michigan House of Representatives has been well served by his business acumen and leadership. During his tenure, he served on numerous committees that addressed issues in taxes, workforce and talent development, communications and technology, energy, education, and regulatory reform. Chair of the Committee on Tax Policy and vice chair of the Health Policy Committee and the Workforce and Talent Development Committee, Representative Tedder has worked tirelessly to make Michigan a better place to live. He worked to lower the income tax liability for Michiganders, promote business growth, and reform the laws governing health care facilities and providers. These past two years, he has admirably served as Associate Speaker Pro Tempore; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Jim Tedder 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 Tedder as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
