This is a… this is not a doughnut, for those of you who don't pay attention, this is called a Paczki.

And they're spread throughout the Capitol, at my office, the Speaker's Office, the Leaders Office back in 314. Please, enjoy me… enjoy joining me in a delicious Paczki. Thank you."

And I wish you so much in life, Jerry. It's his 49th birthday today. And what I wish for you, and God's blessings, is more treasure, talent, and all the happiness and love that one man can have 'cause that's what your family does in this state.

"If I could have everybody's attention, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Today, I'm joined by Representative Stewart and 10000099.docx 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 99th Legislative Day 2/13/2018 Representative Demmer to remember Pamela Sue Knight. Pamela Sue Knight, of Dixon, who passed away over the weekend. Like most of you here, we did not know Pam personally, but was introduced through… to her through the tragedy that took her life. On the afternoon of September 29, Pam Knight, a wife, a mother, and a friend to many, devoted her life to serve others through her work at the Department of Children and Family Services and Lutheran Social Services, was brutally beaten when attempting to take a two-year-old boy into protective custody from an unsafe environment in Milledgeville. The boy's father physically and violently assaulted her. Officials stated, that Pam Knight was kicked in the head and the beating fractured her skull causing permanent brain damage, injuries that she would never recover from. Since the attack in late September, her husband, Don Knight, and her daughter, Jennifer Hollenback, have stood by her side. They have prayed for her to awaken from her coma and kept vigil while she endured numerous surgeries. They watched as health care workers tried to teach her new ways to communicate with her eyes, when she could no longer speak. And while she underwent hours of physical therapy in an attempt to regain her movement in her arms and legs, last week on February 8, her condition worsened and she sadly succumbed to her injuries. Pam Knight devoted her life to serving others through her work with social service agencies. She studied family social services at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. She went on to become a welfare specialist at Lutheran Social Services for nearly 20 years before coming to the Department of Children and Family 10000099.docx 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 99th Legislative Day 2/13/2018 Services 11 years ago. Pam literally gave her life trying to protect our most vulnerable. Pam Knight was a member of AFSCME Local 448, and was given a Public Service Award from AFSCME Council 31 at the Union's 20th Biennial Convention in October, here in Springfield. That award reads, in recognition of exemplary dedication to the mission of child protection and family support, for going above and beyond the call of duty, and providing to all Illinois citizens a powerful reminder of the vital work that public service employees perform every day. With our deepest gratitude, admiration, and hope for the future, we hold you in our hearts. The Sterling office, where Pam Knight worked, has been devastated and completely shaken by the loss. I want to commend AFSCME Local 448 for their support to Pam's husband and daughter Jennifer, and bringing social workers to help her workplace family deal with this tragedy that has very personally affected each one of them. Unfortunately, Pam Knight's attack and death is not an isolated incident within our social services network. DCFS workers, Adult Protective Services workers, and many others put their safety at risk every day to protect those who cannot protect themselves. According to state news report, a dozen DCFS workers have been attacked or seriously threatened as they have entered homes to protect children or investigate mistreatment allegations since 2013. It is our responsibility, as Legislators, to do what we can to enact laws that may help protect those that we serve. In response, we have introduced two Bills, HB4147 and HB4586, to strengthen criminal penalties for the people who commit these unforgivable and heinous acts. It is our duty to protect those 10000099.docx 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 99th Legislative Day 2/13/2018 who protect our most vulnerable citizens here in the State of Illinois. Please keep Pam Knight's family, friends, and her DCFS family in your prayers. Please join us, and honor Pam's memory, by recognizing her devoted… her devotion and her dedication to her job and her community, but most importantly her sacrifice of her life in protecting those that she could not stand up for… that cannot stand up for themselves. A Resolution will be forthcoming. And it is my hope that you all will join me in signing this Resolution to honor Pam, her family, their sacrifice for the people of Illinois, Mr. Speaker, I would ask for a moment of silence."
"The Body will take a moment of silence. Thank you, Representative. Mr. Drury."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Point of personal privilege."
"Proceed, Sir."
"I want to address the elephant in the room. I'm sure we all saw the news yesterday; the horrible news yesterday of more sexual harassment allegations that have tainted this august Body. And we need to look at what is going on and what is the common thread going on between the allegations that roiled this House of Representatives back in September, back in October, and now again in February. And the fact is, we can no longer say, oh, that's just Uncle Mike. That's how he is. We need to stand up as a General Assembly and say we are better than this, we are not going to tolerate this. It is not enough to just say #MeToo. It's not enough just to say we have a task force. We need to stand up and we need to do what's right by the women in the State of Illinois. It is inappropriate for the highest official in the House of 10000099.docx 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 99th Legislative Day 2/13/2018 Representatives to condone the conduct that we have seen going on in the General Assembly. Now we can pretend that he doesn't, but everyone on this side of the aisle knows that Speaker Madigan rules with an iron fist. It's his House, it's his rules. But somehow when it comes to people being assaulted, people being harassed, people being abused, we turn our heads and we pretend that maybe he didn't know it was going on. Maybe he didn't condone it. Maybe when it happened in his Ward Organization, maybe somehow he missed that too. We need to wake up people. We need to wake up. It is time to call on Speaker Madigan to step down as the Speaker of the House, because he is not worthy of that position. It is tarnishing the State of Illinois. It is tarnishing this august Body. And if he is not going to step down on his own, I'm going to give everybody a path to make it happen. We don't need 60 Democrats to vote 'no'. We don't need 60 Democrats to say, I've had enough. We just need to have 8 Democrats brave enough to say that we will not vote for anymore legislation that he puts up there until he steps down because then he will have 59 votes. So, I call on my colleagues, and you know who you are. People who campaign every two years and say, oh, you’re independent, you're going to stand up, and you're going to show your community that you are not with the Speaker on everything that he wants. Well, here is your chance because publicly… publicly he is the face of sexual harassment in the State of Illinois. So, I call on Laura Fine; I call on Will Guzzardi; I call on Kelly Cassidy; I call on Ann Williams; I call on Katie Stuart; I call on Sam Yingling; I call on Deb Conroy and Sue Scherer, I call on Mike Halpin; and I call on 10000099.docx 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 99th Legislative Day 2/13/2018 John Carroll. Stand with me, or stand with each other and discard me altogether. But stand together and make sure that we take power back in this House, and that we elect a Speaker who’s going to stand up for women in the State of Illinois. And when there are people being harassed, he's not going to turn his head, he's not going to have task force, he's going to take full responsibility for it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"Mr. Harris." Harris, D.: "Well thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think my comments will be a bit different from what you just heard. I'd like to say something about good about the State of Illinois today. Specifically… specifically, the National Council for Home Safety and Security just issued its list of the 100 safest cities in the United States. One question that everyone has on their mind when moving to a new city is, is it safe. Not only does this affect your decision to move to a place, it also affects the way you feel after you have settled down. By focusing on safety, people looking for a new city, feel more secure. They look for a place to establish themselves, raise a family, and improve their lives. Let me give you a list of the 10 municipalities in Illinois that made the list. Number six the City of Wheaton. Number 15, my home municipality of Arlington Heights. Hoffman Estates was number 16. Palatine was number 17. Mount Prospect was number 20. Des Plaines was number 35. Obviously, the North West Suburbs are well represented. The city of Naperville, not only did it make number 41, but it was also #3 most successful city in the United States, according to the career resource website Zippia. Tinley Park was number 46. Oak Lawn was number 79 and 10000099.docx 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 99th Legislative Day 2/13/2018 Bolingbrook was number 86. My point, Ladies and Gentlemen, is this, there are 100 cities on this list, there are 50 states in the Union, Illinois has 10 percent of the cities on that list. Good for Illinois and good for those municipalities that made the list."
"Thank you, Representative. Bring us more… bring us more like that. Representative Ives is recognized."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to echo the comments of Representative Drury. And the fact that everybody is sitting here, milling around, talking among each other, when he's making a serious statement about a serious… situation that's occurring in the Democrat House. And yet, all of you all are just walking around, not paying attention. You know, I often go to places and I tell folks, why don't you just watch… watch online what’s happening in the House. Why don't you come down and visit, and watch for yourself the lack of attentiveness to serious issues. So, as Representative Drury is speaking very candidly about a significant issue, many of you, many of you women, who want to buy in to the #MeToo Movement, are just sitting around talking on your cell phones, not paying attention, and not recognizing that Speaker Madigan is one of the folks who didn't even appoint a Legislative Inspector General for three years even though he knew there was 27 complaints sitting there waiting to be adjudicated. So, I agree with Representative Drury. We have a problem in the State of Illinois. We have a problem with our culture, we have a problem with our Leadership that just allows this to continue. And oh, by the way, just because you have a number of sexual discrimination harassment training on the… on the 10000099.docx 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 99th Legislative Day 2/13/2018 schedule four… four places in the next two months, doesn't mean that you've solved the problem.

"Mr. Wehrli is recognized."

"Thank you. I would just to thank my esteemed colleague from Arlington Heights. Representative, thanks for bringing a positive to Illinois. We do have good things going here. Many of us come from a background of small government and I'm willing to bet that if you go down and look at those municipalities and how they operate and how they do things, it's an example of how we need to be doing things here. Whether it's budgeting with a… with a open thoughtful transparent process. Whether it's having the fiscal discipline to make sure you can get that AAA bond rating. And it's having the foresight to govern for outcomes and not for political purposes. So thank you, Representative, for 10000099.docx 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 99th Legislative Day 2/13/2018 bringing that forward. Those are the things… the best practices that we need to be doing at the state level. Thanks for the positives."

"Oh, wow, thank you so much, Mr. Speaker. I rise today… I'm sorry, we have to get this right. I rise today on February 13 to recognize the birth of my son Isaiah Bruce Shelton. Fourteen years ago on the best Friday the 13 of my life, I gave birth to this beautiful, beautiful boy who is a lovely athlete and an aspiring mathematician. He currently is the statistician for the girls' basketball team at his middle school; and I think that that's very fitting. And as we move further into Black History Month, I thought I would share with you and him, when he sees this video, about the first African American to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics, and his name was Elbert Frank Cox. He was born December 5, 1895 in Evansville, Indiana. After graduating from Indiana University in 1917, Cox served in World War I and then pursued a career in teaching. In 1925, he earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from Cornell University, becoming the first African American to earn the degree in the United States, and in fact, the world. You hear that Izzy? The world. After earning his degree, Cox taught at West Virginia State College and then at Howard University where he remained until his retirement in 1965. Ten years later, the Howard University Mathematics Department established an Elbert F. Cox Scholarship Fund to encourage young black undergraduates to pursue mathematics studies at the graduate level. Cox died on November 28, 1969. And though 10000099.docx 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 99th Legislative Day 2/13/2018 he did not live to see his scholarship, or the Ph.D. program launched at Howard University, it is certain that it was he who made it possible. Thank you for listening to that Black History Month moment. Again, happy birthday, Isaiah."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I ask that Senate Bill 332 pass, notwithstanding the Governor's Veto. This Bill was passed during Veto Session in this chamber with a bipartisan Roll Call of 80 'yes' votes. The Senate overrode the Veto last week with a vote of 48 to 2. This is a Bill that helps a small business in my district. It's a restaurant run by a husband and wife team who put together their life savings to open this restaurant in the neighborhood in my district and it is on the site of a formerly condemned building. They are struggling to get return customers because they cannot sell a simple glass of wine with the meals at their restaurant. The establishment is supported by local officials and the church that is within a hundred feet of their entrance. I had those letters of support, which I brought with me when we first passed the Bill. I understand that the Governor has an issue with piecemeal exemptions such as this, but Senator Nybo has filed a Bill to address the Governor's concerns and that will be coming into our chamber for consideration later on. We currently don’t have this Bill. And so, in the meantime, we do need to support a small business and the local economy in my district. So, it's important that this Bill be passed. And I ask for an 'aye' vote. Thank you."
"Seeing no debate, the Lady moves that the House concur with the Senate and that Senate Bill 332 do pass, notwithstanding the Veto of the Governor.
