SR-193, As Adopted by Senate, December 2, 2014
Senator Richardville offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 193.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Roger Kahn.
Whereas, We extend our thanks and gratitude to Roger Kahn for his outstanding service to the Thirty-second District and the entire state. His integrity, commitment, and leadership will be deeply missed by his Senate colleagues and the Michigan Legislature; and
Whereas, Roger Kahn was born in Monroe and is a proud alumnus of Delta College, Michigan State University, and the Wayne State University Medical School. After earning his medical degree and specializing in cardiology, he settled in the Saginaw area. Constantly striving to help his patients, Roger Kahn brought many life-saving treatments to Saginaw and transformed the area into one of the best cardiac centers in the Midwest. Wanting to inspire and mentor others, he became a professor of medicine at Michigan State University and received a Teacher of the Year award. His medical and educational careers demonstrate his passion for helping others. His election to the Saginaw County Board of Commissioners would begin another career of helping others as a dedicated public servant; and
Whereas, After serving one term in the House of Representatives, Roger Kahn was elected to the Senate in November 2006. Senator Kahn has been an eminently successful legislator. He has introduced and guided to enactment dozens of bills that benefited his district and the state of Michigan, such as legislation to help veterans, punish animal cruelty, increase the accessibility of the flu vaccine, keep children safe from toxic toys, provide for medically safe marijuana, and many others. During his eight years in the Senate, he has served primarily on the Appropriations Committee and has been the chair since 2011. The state and this legislative body have benefited greatly from Senator Kahn’s contributions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That we commend and thank Roger Kahn for his dedicated service to the Michigan Senate and the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Senator Kahn as evidence of our high esteem and our best wishes for his future success.
