SR220, As Adopted by Senate, December 20, 2018
Senator Meekhof offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 220.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Brian N. Calley.
Whereas, The members of this legislative body are proud to acknowledge the Honorable Brian Calley after eight years of distinguished service as both the Lieutenant Governor of this great state and President of the Michigan Senate. His long and illustrious career working for the people of Michigan has been of great benefit to all of us; and
Whereas, Brian Calley holds degrees from Michigan State University, Grand Valley State University, and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. His academic accomplishments and background in community banking were highly valuable when he began his public service as an Ionia County commissioner in 2003. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 2006, serving two terms before accepting the opportunity to represent all of Michigan as Lieutenant Governor; and
Whereas, Elected to the first of two terms in 2010, Brian Calley redefined the role of Lieutenant Governor. During his time in office, he promoted wellness in physical and mental health, pursued special education reforms, and advocated for people with disabilities. He has also worked closely with the Legislature to expand economic opportunity and private-sector job growth in the state; and
Whereas, As President of the Senate, Lieutenant Governor Calley honored the traditions of this chamber and ensured the people's business proceeded in a civil and deliberative manner. His knowledge and guidance will be missed by the members of the Senate and the residents of the state of Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Brian N. Calley for his notable contributions to our state; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Lieutenant Governor Calley as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
