"Thank you. Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen we come to Springfield at a very difficult time for all of us and for the citizens of our state. Mr. Speaker, I would like to refer to some comments made by Minority Leader Mr. Durkin recently. Where he said, that I'm not going to point fingers unless that I feel it is absolutely necessary, but it is time to move away from that. He went on to say that there will be a Governor's election in a year and half let the chips fall where they may. But the fact is everybody needs to lay down their arms for a little bit. Put things aside and think about the welfare of the State of Illinois. Well, I agree with Mr. Durkin. It is time to lay down the arms, it is time put away our weaponry, it is time to be concerned about the welfare of the people of the State of Illinois. And the Governor spoke yesterday for three minutes and some odd seconds about what he felt was his unity speech in the State of Illinois. But I notice also that while all this was going on for the last several weeks and even in the last several days the Governor of the State of Illinois gone about the business of attack. Gone about the business of attacking the Speaker of the House with millions of dollars worth of TV and other advertising. Gone about the business of attacking Democrats in the Illinois House with all kinds of mail pieces, just over the last few 10000060.docx 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day 6/21/2017 days. Representative Manley, Scherer, Yingling, Mussman, Fine and many others, maybe as many as fifteen. Millions of dollars of attack ads at the same time that the Governor of the State of Illinois is talking about unity. And at the same time Leader Durkin is talking about putting down our arms and being concerned about the welfare of the people of the State of Illinois. We agree, we should be talking about the welfare of the State of Illinois. We agree, that it is time to lay down our arms and our weaponry. And so, I challenge Leader Durkin today to march down to Room 200 in this building and ask the Governor to lay down his arms and his weaponry and do the business of the people of the State of Illinois. It will take even less than the three minutes and fifteen seconds he talked yesterday about the needs of the people of the State of Illinois. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"Representative Brady is recognized."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. A point of personal privilege."
"Please proceed, Sir."

"Representative Demmer is recognized."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Republican's request an immediate caucus."
