NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the members of this board support securing the definition of marriage – exclusively between one man and one woman – in our state constitution and encourage Oakland County’s delegation to the Legislature to support the referral of a constitutional amendment to that effect to the people of Michigan on the November, 2004 ballot.
