Re: 2009 Senate Bill 588 (Cobo Hall Authority “re-do” )

Rep. Geiss, having reserved the right to explain his nay vote, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

This amendment takes funds from the 21st Century Jobs Fund. As the fund is derived from the Michigan Tobacco settlement revenue, I voice my objection for the following reasons: 1) The funds used are not consistent with the original intent of the 21st Century Jobs Fund. 2) If not used for the original intent of the 21st Century Jobs Fund, I believe the funds should be used for smoking cessation programs in the State of Michigan. Therefore, I respectfully vote no to SB 588.”
