They are here with the Institute of Politics. Their names are Trenton Crawford, who hails from Lincoln, right down the 10000014.docx 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017 street. And Andrew Yin, who originally is from Raleigh. So, please join me in giving them a good Springfield welcome."
"Welcome. We're happy to have you in the House chamber. Mr. Sauer, for what reason do you rise, Sir?"
"Point of personal privilege, Mr. Speaker."
"Proceed."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like the chamber to welcome two constituents of mine from the great Village of Barrington. Mr. Greg Shields and his son, Cameron who are here. They're up here in the gallery. Cameron, it's nice to have another fellow Roslyn Road Elementary School kid. So, thanks for being here. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"Thanks for joining us. Enjoy your day here in Springfield. Representative Ammons."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If I can have the Assembly's attention for a moment in Black History Month. Thank you, so much. To the Members of this Assembly, as well as, the guests in this august Body, today we want to acknowledge the sacrifices of many of African descent brought to the shores of America during, the great maafa we called the slave trade. And Mr. Speaker, if we can have their attention because some 400 million people died along the way."
"Ladies and Gentleman, can we give Representative Ammons your attention, please? Thank you."
"It's important for this moment to be recorded in not just the public realm but in the audience of our Membership because the names of people I will call like David Walker and Nat Turner who ultimately died for the freedom of African Americans who sit in this audience, but more so for the 10000014.docx 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017 freedom of America. There are members who have died for as little as reading and I'll call a few of them. His name is Profit or Hercules. Either America will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States of America so written by the great doctor, W.E.B. Dubois. Literacy and learning could equal death at one time in this great country. At the heart of Black History Month is the importance of education. According to the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, their annual theme for this 2017, the crisis in Black education is especially relevant today given the heated controversy surrounding the hearings and confirmation of Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos. It is no underestimate to say that this appointment by President Trump has sparked tremendous concern in regard to the fate of public schools for minorities and the poor. The Association shares this concern and also emphasizes that the problem of educational inequality has a long history in America. In the days of slavery, State Laws deemed it illegal. And I said State Laws deemed it illegal to teach slaves to read and write. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm not sure if Black History is not important to people in the chamber, but I would hope that you would give me a few moments to acknowledge those who have gone before me. In Connecticut, in 1833, the white educated Prudence Crandall founded her school. She founded that it was burned to the ground because it was dedicated to the education of young Black girls. The legal case of Roberts v. City of Boston, in 1850, represents the story of the courageous Roberts family and of the large Black communities protest efforts against the city's segregated public schools. The 10000014.docx 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017 problem of the inequality in central… is essential to the history of Black education. In the public schools in the Southern states as well as, in the Northern states and such cities as Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston, and many other cities. Racial inequality has been a target of civil rights litigation throughout the twentieth century. Indeed, litigation and newspaper coverage today calls attention not only to unequal resources, but also incidents of racial prejudice in urban public schools. The Association further urges greater resolve towards addressing the existing problems in regard to education of Black persons at both the K through 12 and the college and university levels. These problems are multiple and varied in nature. They include the lack of resources in inner-city schools, the pipeline to prison reality for many youth, the summer learning gap, the too often placement of Black male children in special education classes, the severe financial challenges at many historically Black colleges and universities, and not least of all, the failure to teach correctly, if at all, the experiences of the contributions of African Americans in this nation. The Association further believes that to refuse to acknowledge the education of Black people as a crisis belittles the importance of many efforts to confront and combat the problem. It is not good enough to commemorate a particular person in Black history. It is more important to commemorate the fight and struggle for liberation and freedom of Black people in the United States. Herein, I close. Herein, lies the tragedy of the age, not that men are poor because all men know something of poverty. Not that men are wicked 10000014.docx 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017 because who's good? Not that men are ignorant, but what is the truth? Nay, but these men know so little of other men it is important to read more of Black history by Dr. W.E.B DuBois and thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. This is a Resolution honoring Officer Blake Snyder, who is… who was a St. Louis County Officer, but he grew up in my district. Actually, our son… my son, he played soccer together. Officer Snyder was responding to a disturbance call in October, this past year, when he was ambushed by the person that caused that call to be made. And he didn’t even have a chance to defend himself and he was fatally wounded. During the funeral procession from St. Louis County, which had over 200 cars and motorcycles in the procession. There was a tremendous amount of support from members of the Alton-Godfrey community who knew him, knew his family. And there were over… there were thousands of people that lined the bridge… the entrance to the bridge all the way up the river road to… you take a turn to his final resting place. And I think this is a fitting tribute to Officer Snyder and to his family. I ask for its adoption."

He served as an emergency medical technician with the Ash-Clif Ambulance Service. Unfortunately, November 10000014.docx 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017 6, 1988, Dana Schoolman was fatally injured in the line of duty.

He lost control on the ice and snow covered roadway near the intersection of Route 45 on Iroquois County Road 2400 North and he died from injuries sustained in that accident. He was 31 years of age and survived by his wife and by his two children. Dana was honored at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland, in 1989 and at the Illinois Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Springfield.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to present today House Resolution 30. This is a great bipartisan Resolution calling for the month of October 2017 to be recognized as Zombie 10000014.docx 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017 Preparedness Month. We know that many zombies walk amongst us and may be in this chamber, all jokes aside. Zombie Preparedness Month, I believe, is a good opportunity to grab young minds attention and help them learn something very important and that’s to prepare for a natural disaster. I am told that if you are prepared for zombies then you would be prepared to deal with a natural disaster like tornadoes, blizzards, natural disasters of any kind. You would have proper food storage. You would have identified a place you would go for shelter. And you'd be prepared for a natural disaster. So, I'm asking the Body to recognize why it is important to be prepared for zombies. And we declare October 2017, Zombie Preparedness Month. I ask for approval, Mr. Speaker."
"Mr. Welch, you have awakened various zombies in the chamber. There are four speakers. First, Zombie Andersson."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"The Sponsor will yield."
"Chris, I just got to ask. Now, there are a lot of different types of zombies out there. There's your Z Nation- type zombies; they move fast… they are fast. They're smart. Then, you got your Walking Dead, my personal favorite; slow, but can get a lot of them. What kind of preparation are we talking about?"
"Well, I'm talking about preparation for all zombies."
"All zombies?"
"If you're… if you're prepared for all zombies, you're prepared for a natural disaster." 10000014.docx 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017
"But you've got to adapt 'cause there's a lot of different types."
"You got to be ready. You never know when it's going to strike."
"Love your Bill. Thank you."
"Thank you, Representative."
"Mr. Wehrli."
"Thank you. To the Resolution. While this title may be a bit whimsical and fun, it really is a good bit of… a Resolution because it's not when things go well that we need a plan; it's when things go off the rails. And so, if this bit of humor levity allows people to prepare for blizzards, national disasters, floods, mass exoduses of large populations, this is a good thing. So, while I appreciate the humor and levity, the underlying issue here is a solid one that we should all support."
"Mr. Davis."
"To the Res… No, a question…"
"You can do…"
"question."
"You can… you can do either."
"Okay. Well…"
"We'll wait while you decide, Sir."
"Okay. So… so, the reference to zombies is that that's a cataclysmic end of the world event, in my opinion. I mean, natural disasters aren’t necessarily the end of the world. So, why make such a cataclysmic end of the world reference to encourage preparedness for natural disasters which, in my opinion, we can recover from. Now, unless those of you who 10000014.docx 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017 watch zombie stuff can tell me that if you then become a zombie that you cannot be a zombie again, then why have that reference?"
"Well, I think first and foremost, Representative, we… we got your attention."
"Absolutely."
"And anything we can do to get the attention… Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Right on… right on target. Anything we can do to get everyone's attention, especially to an important topic like a natural disaster."
"Right."
"…I think we should all be for and…"
"Well…"
"…people can relate to zombies lately."
"Well, but one of my concerns though is that I think the only way that you can stop a zombie is you have to bash their brains in. So, does that mean I get to now bring my bow and arrow, my bat with the barbed wire on it, for that matter, my AK47? I mean, can I… is that part of being prepared for zombies?"
"You can take whatever you want into your bunker."
"Well, I mean, I don’t have a concealed carry license, yet, but I'm just curious about something. That’s all. I was just wanting to make sure that it's more about natural disasters and not really the apocalypse where the living dead are walking and roaming the earth, as the Speaker mentioned, many of which are probably in this chamber right now. And that’s fine, but I just wanted to make sure that we are really talking about natural disasters." 10000014.docx 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017
"We are talking about natural disasters."
"Thank you very much."
"Representative Ives."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Bill. So, it's all fun and games here, but really the truth is if you really want to help with natural disasters maybe you join a search team in your local township area. Maybe you join the National Guard 'cause they help respond to natural disasters. Maybe you actually put on the uniform and do something like that. But I mean, this Bill is like incredibly misplaced at a time when our budget is in such dire straits. All the fun and games on the floor really need to stop. And just for a little bit of a reference here, in 2016, as a reminder, Illinois finished with the regions weakest job growth rate and the highest manufacturing job losses. In fact, in Illinois only 28,400 jobs were created in Illinois in 2016. That sounds like a lot, but it isn't. It's just under .5 percent annual job growth rate. And that rate… that rate puts us last in the region for payroll jobs. Every one of our neighbors did better. More specifically in the last four years, Illinois lost 18 thousand jobs, while Michigan created over 59 thousand jobs; in Indiana, nearly 32 thousand jobs and yet, we have the fifth largest economy and we can't even compete with our neighbors that have much lesser job growth strength. And so, this may sound like fun, but if you're really concerned about disaster, the national disaster that's happened in Illinois is all economic and it's all our doing. And actually, with the right policies in place, we can change this disaster into 10000014.docx 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017 a real benefit. So, let's get to work on the real stuff instead of Bills like this."
"Mr. Welch to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You know, fully recognizing that the state has gone 20 months without a state budget, I want to join in the call for a budget. And I hope the Governor appears here before us next week and present to us for the first time since he's been Governor, a budget. I would love to see that from our Governor, from the CEO of our state. But, we also have to recognize that natural disasters happen. And they can happen at any time. And it is very important that we be prepared. That we're all prepared. And if we need to do something like Zombie Apocalypse Month, Zombie Preparedness Month, to get people's attention to an important issue like preparing for a natural disaster, then sobeit. I think this is a good Resolution. I'm proud of my colleagues on the other aisle who support it. And I ask that we all approve House Resolution 30."
"Those in favor of the Gentleman's Bill will… Excuse me. Those who support the Resolution will say 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The ayes have it. And the Resolution is adopted. House Resolution 39, Mr. Yingling."
"Thank you… thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Resolution would designate the month of April of 2017 as Bring Your Own Bag Month. And it would encourage the residents of Illinois to bring reusable shopping bags home, instead of using the plastic shopping bag and bags issued by retailors. This idea was brought to me by one of my 17-year-old constituents by the name of Abby Goldberg, also known as Activist Abby who 10000014.docx 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day 2/9/2017 has been working on these issues for years. I would strongly encourage an 'aye' vote. Thank you."
"Mr. Morrison."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just really quickly. On this Resolution, we met with Representative Yingling's constituent in committee yesterday. Just want to bring up a lot of these things, they feel good, but there are unintended consequences. Plenty of stories of consumers, you know, we all talk about the need for education on public health and foodborne illnesses and things to that nature. And many of the consumers that bring their own bags, they're doing so because they want to be… you know, do good for the environment. And if you all recall, last month or about six weeks ago we debated a Bill on saving electricity and power usage. If you're using your own canvas bags, just remember they need to be washed. If you're not washing them, you put yourself, your family, and others at risk of foodborne illnesses. So, what does it take to wash them? Well, you've got to use electricity. You've got to use detergent. We ask that you use fresh water. You're using natural gas for hot water and such. And so, you know, while these sort of things are well intended, they're not as environmentally friendly as people would like to think. I think it'd be better if we just encourage people not to litter and to reuse the bags that they get from the store. Thank you."
