Michigan Senate adopts memorial resolution honoring former Sen. George McManus Jr.
Summary
The Senate unanimously adopted Senate Resolution 49, a memorial honoring former Senator George Alvin McManus Jr. for his agricultural leadership, public service, and community contributions; senators delivered tributes and family members joined in the gallery.
The Michigan Senate adopted Senate Resolution 49 as a memorial to George Alvin McManus Jr., a fourth-generation cherry farmer and former state senator who served his community and the Legislature for more than a decade.
The resolution, read in full on the floor, recounted McManus’s career with Michigan State University Extension, his leadership on agricultural and appropriations subcommittees, sponsorship of the Michigan Groundwater and Freshwater Protection Act, and involvement in community organizations. Senators Brinks and Demos offered floor tributes highlighting his bipartisan approach and contributions to farm and rural policy; both asked their remarks be printed in the journal.
Family members and former colleagues were present in the gallery for the moment of silence and the adoption of the memorial resolution. The adoption was ordered without objection and senators added the lieutenant governor and all members as cosponsors.
