Senator Meekhof offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 191.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Tory Rocca.
Whereas, We are happy to extend gratitude and praise to Senator Tory Rocca for his service to the Legislature. His skills as a legislator and sincerity as a public servant proved to be a great asset to the Senate, as he worked to better the Tenth District in Macomb County and the whole state of Michigan; and
Whereas, Tory Rocca attended the University of Michigan where he graduated with a degree in business administration and later attained a juris doctor. He has worked as a lab technician and put his law degree to practice in the areas of business law, premises liability defense, and product liability defense. Prior to his election to this legislative chamber, he served three terms in the House of Representatives; and
Whereas, First elected to the Senate in 2010, he served eight years of distinguished service over two terms of office. His eye toward making government run efficiently without any waste was utilized as he was called to chair the Regulatory Reform Committee. Additionally, he led as vice chair of the Families, Seniors, and Human Services Committee and the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. He also was a member of the Banking and Financial Institutions, Judiciary, and Local Government committees and the Legislative Council. Ensuring accountability in public agencies and making state government accessible to all people were cornerstones of his work as a lawmaker. He set a prime example for future legislators to follow; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we offer this expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Tory Rocca 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 Rocca as evidence of our gratitude and best wishes.
