SR-204, As Adopted by Senate, December 1, 2010
Senator Bishop offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 204.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Alan Cropsey.
Whereas, With the conclusion of the 95th Legislature, Senator Alan Cropsey is bringing to a close an exemplary career working on behalf of his district and our state as a lawmaker. His lengthy tenure, especially valuable in our term-limited era, has been marked by his knowledge of the legislative process, his strong principles, and his unwavering concern for Michigan's future; and
Whereas, A native of Paw Paw and a graduate of Bob Jones University and Cooley Law School, Alan Cropsey has served as a legislator in distinctly different situations in state government and with ever-deepening challenges facing our state. First elected to the House of Representatives in 1978, he was a member of the Michigan Senate from 1983 to 1986, serving alongside his dad, Senator Harmon Cropsey. Following work in private law practice, he returned to the House of Representatives for three terms (1993-1998) before returning to the Michigan Senate in 2003; and
Whereas, Highlights of Senator Cropsey's distinguished efforts as a lawmaker include his staunch defense of Second Amendment rights, commitment to law enforcement, advocacy of crime victims' rights, and understanding of the complexities of the corrections and the judicial systems. In addition, his work on the budget during an age of serious economic difficulty, as well as his leadership as the Majority Floor Leader, have been essential to the work carried out by the Senate. His insights and integrity have clearly served Michigan well; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we extend this expression of our highest tribute to commend and thank Senator Alan Cropsey upon the occasion of his retirement from his long and effective tenure as a lawmaker; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Senator Cropsey and his family as evidence of our gratitude for his contributions to this legislative body and to our entire state.
