House Resolution No. 356.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Rick Olson.
Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for his dedication to serving our state and working to enhance our shared future that we salute Rick Olson and thank him for his tireless work in the Ninety-sixth Legislature. His integrity and thorough analysis of complex issues has greatly benefitted the entire state and residents of the Fifty-fifth House District in Monroe and Washtenaw counties; and
Whereas, Rick Olson is a native son who left the state to explore opportunities and returned to lend the state his talents and gifts. Representative Olson was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula before traveling down state to earn a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University. He left the state to earn his juris doctorate degree from Stanford University and continued his journey with service to the Washington State Legislature and Governor's Office. On his return to Michigan, he made extensive use of his experience to succeed in financial professions, including as an agricultural loan officer and business manager for the Adrian Public Schools; and
Whereas, Representative Olson has brought an uncommon analytic ability to his work in the Legislature as he conducted and directed analyses of complex road funding, retirement, and public benefit programs. His attention to and grasp of details has made Representative Olson a quick study on many complex issues. His service as a member of the committees on Banking and Financial Services and Tax Policy and co-chair of the Committee on Administrative Rules has been greatly appreciated by this body; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we commend and thank Representative Olson for his service to the people of this state as a member of the Ninety-sixth Legislature; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Olson as a reflection of our gratitude and best wishes.
