Senator Bishop offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 202.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Michelle McManus.
Whereas, The members of this legislative body are proud to commend Senator Michelle McManus and thank her for her contributions to the legislative process throughout her tenure. With diligence and determination, she has been an effective advocate for her northern Michigan community and has advanced causes of concern across our entire state; and
Whereas, Michelle McManus came to her responsibilities as a lawmaker with considerable familiarity with the intricacies of public policy. Her prior experiences as an aide in the House of Representatives and the Senate blended well with her strong ties in her community to make her a steadfast voice for her district. A graduate of Central Michigan University, she served with distinction over the course of her three terms as State Representative and worked as director of Governor Engler's Northern Michigan Office; and
Whereas, Over the course of her two terms in the Senate since 2003, Michelle McManus has taken on numerous issues. These include her leadership in advancing legislation to allow the direct shipment of wine; to create an apprentice hunting program to advance Michigan's outdoors heritage; to mandate the use of booster seats to safeguard children; and to ban partial-birth abortions. She has also contributed notably to the legislative process as the chair of the Campaign and Election Oversight Committee and as a member of the Appropriations Committee, which included her service as the chair of both the Joint Subcommittee on Capital Outlay and the Subcommittee on Natural Resources and Environment; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we extend this expression of our highest tribute to Senator Michelle McManus as she brings to a close her service as a lawmaker; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Senator McManus and her family as evidence of our respect and best wishes.
