SR208, As Adopted by Senate, December 11, 2018
Senator Meekhof offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 208.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Morris W. Hood III.
Whereas, It is with great respect and appreciation that the members of this body acknowledge Senator Morris W. Hood III. He is a faithful public servant who has been a benefit to the Legislature; the Third District residents in Dearborn, Detroit, and Melvindale; and all of the good people of this state; and
Whereas, Coming from a family of hard workers and public servants, Morris Hood continued that tradition by working on the assembly line at the Dearborn Engine and Fuel Tank Plant and later serving in the House of Representatives. After leaving the House and before arriving at the Senate, he worked with Wayne County as a project manager; and
Whereas, Senator Hood was first elected to the Senate in 2010 and has served eight years in this chamber with thoughtfulness and care. He served as minority vice chair of the Infrastructure Modernization, Transportation, and Elections and Government Reform committees. He also sat on the Natural Resources, Environment, and Great Lakes; Government Operations; and Appropriations committees, among others. The Legislature utilized his knowledge and skills on both policy and budgetary matters, and he has held the role of Minority Floor Leader for the last four years. While his background pushed him to help workers, he also had a passion for improving community health and education policies; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Morris W. Hood III 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 Senator Hood as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
