"Leader Durkin."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the true joys and I would say perks of this job is the opportunity to meet some amazing human beings from all walks of life. I can say that I have 10000131.docx 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 131st Legislative Day 5/16/2018 availed myself to many of these opportunities, but I can also say today that one of those individuals is the definition of a patriot and an American Hero, and that's United States Senator John McCain. House Resolution 1077 is a statement of gratitude to this fine American. As we all know, Senator McCain is experiencing serious health challenges and is at his home in Arizona with his family. I've had the good fortune of meeting Senator McCain in 1999 when he was contemplating a run for United States Presidency. At that meeting he invited me to join him at a private fundraising dinner with leaders of the Chicago business and social community, it was a very small intimate group. During the course of the dinner one of the attendees asked all of us about movies that had made impressions upon their lives and provided meaning. One after another mentioned various artsy, avant-garde, thought- provoking movies. As it came to Senator McCain's turn, he proudly stated that the movie that has influenced him with the most over his career was a 1963 comedy called, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World with Spencer Tracy. Everyone in that room had their jaws were dropped, people dropped drinks from their hands, and it was silence for ten seconds and then Senator McCain burst out laughing in the way that I've known him over the years. At that point, I realized that John McCain is my guy. Now, I was involved with both of his Presidential campaigns and I will say this, one of the finest decisions I've ever made wasn't easy. And I think a lot of us getting somebody on the ballot in Illinois is a real struggle. But it was worth the effort and… of attaching my name to this great man's candidacy. But I will say that I've had a wonderful 10000131.docx 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 131st Legislative Day 5/16/2018 friendship and relationship as other Members of this… of this Body have over the years. And his love for Illinois and his many trips here is well document… documented and established. It was recently a… I think this is important, I just read a story that was in the paper about a tribute that was made to Senator McCain within the last few days. And there's a lot of those going around. And that was from Defense Secretary James Madison. He made the following statement, 'He is a giant and in my mind of American public life. He leads steadfastly. Nothing can diminish him. He steadfastly represents the best of our country. His influence today is so deeply felt in this Capitol as it is in villages and refugee camps in all places all around the world. We need to look no further than his work as an international statesman to see that he can surmount any obstacle.' I echo those comments. I do believe that Senator McCain is watching this from his computer in Arizona and I just want to say, thank you, Sir, for your service, your mentoring, and your friendship. God Bless You, Sir."
"Representative Stratton, do you rise to this Resolution? Representative Flowers, do you rise to this Resolution? The Chair recognizes Representative Flowers."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I just would like to request from my colleague that you add us all to this Resolution. Because we too are very proud of the service that Senator John McCain has served this state… in the United States. And I would appreciate that we have a moment of prayer for him and wish and pray that he have a recovery. Thank you." 10000131.docx 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 131st Legislative Day 5/16/2018
"Thank you, Representative. Representative Barbara Wheeler on the Resolution." Wheeler, B.: "Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Leader Durkin for doing this Resolution. And thank you, Representative Flowers for including us all in the Resolution. John McCain and his wife, Cindy, have led the McCain Institute which is part of Arizona State University and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. I became aware of it because of its humans rights issues, most specifically in regard to human trafficking. They do a tremendous amount of work and it is because of his leadership and his wife's leadership that they have done… have quite an impact across the world. So, thank you very much. Thank you, Senator McCain."
"Mr. Harris, do you rise to this Resolution? Chair recognizes Mr. Harris." Harris, D.: "Thank you, Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I really applaud the Minority Leader for bringing this Resolution and having us recognize Senator McCain. You know, think for a second what this man has done. At the call of his country he got in an F-101 Jet, flew it over enemy territory, and got shot down. He spent six years in the Hanoi Hilton suffering incredible torture and… and harm to himself. And was offered the opportunity to leave and chose not to do it because he refused to leave his comrades behind. He then comes back, he serves in the United States Senate with distinction, and he serves knowing that the grease that makes our system work is the grease of some compromise. And he wasn't… he wasn't ideologically rigid. He was willing to work with the 10000131.docx 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 131st Legislative Day 5/16/2018 other side of the aisle. He would case votes one way or the other as he saw them. I had the pleasure to meet John McCain on several occasions. The last time was when I was in Iraq and he was there on a visit back in 2006. He really dug into issues. And he has been maligned, unfortunately, at levels that… governmental levels in this country that in my mind are disgraceful. And I will say something today, which we are all aware of, about what has happened in the news. And that is, an apology is warranted by an individual on staff in the White House to this distinguished, outstanding public servant who has given his life to the United States of America. Thank you."
"Mr. McSweeney."
"Mr. Speaker, to the Resolution. First of all, I want thank Leader Durkin who is a very close friend Senator McCain for bringing this Resolution. This is really about a family… a family that has served this country. A family that's died for this country. His grandfather, his father, himself. And Representative Harris did a great job talking about that. And this is a man who can't even comb his own hair because when he in the Hanoi Hilton, they tortured him so he can't life his hands. This… this is a man whose son, his family, has served our country in Iraq. This… this is the definition of… of a hero. We might not agree with him in everything but we always knew where we stand. And that's what I love about that man. God Bless John McCain."
"Leader Durkin to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. All I say is a thank you for this opportunity for all of us to say words and to honor this 10000131.docx 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 131st Legislative Day 5/16/2018 amazing human being, someone who we all should aspire to be, to follow in the footsteps that he has made for so many of us. We need more John McCain's. But we still love him and we want to make sure that Illinois is proud of him and today we're doing that. And I would ask that we add all Members of this Body as cosponsors to this Resolution."
"Leader Durkin moves that all Members be added as cosponsors. Is there leave? Leave is granted. Those in favor of the Resolution will say 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. And the Resolution is adopted. God speed, Senator McCain. Representative Mah is recognized."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like a point of personal privilege."
"Proceed."
"I'd like to introduce my shadow today from the Illinois Youth In Care Program. Shaniah Alexander who is up in the gallery right now, is a youth advocate on behalf of the Department of Child and Family Services under the agency You Can.

"This morning in the House Human Service… this morning in the House Human Services Committee the Resolution that would make Illinois the 37th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment passed with a vote of 7 to 5. While I am thrilled that we are now one step closer to enshrining equal rights for women in our Constitution, I have to admit that I am disappointed that not a single 'yes' vote came from my Republican colleagues. The reality is plain and simple. We do not have enough Democrats in the House to pass the ERA with the required three-fifths majority. But the fact of the matter is that women's rights should not be a partisan issue to begin with. The world is constantly changing. I am fortunate enough to have more opportunities than my mother, Velma, did. And my daughter's, Tyler, Cassidy, and Ryan, have many more doors open to them. However, we are still faced with the stark reality that black women only make sixty-seven cents to the dollar that a white man earns. This is still the case even though black women are the most educated demographic in the United States. So, while we have made progress it is very clear that we still have a long way to go. With the ERA there will be a stronger recourse to make sure that women, all women, will be paid an equal wage based on their abilities and qualifications and without discrimination based on sex. In almost every situation in which women are treated unequally, women of color face more discrimination than their white counterparts. Passing the Equal Rights Amendment will help provide workplace protections, which due to the increased discrimination that women of color face, will help protect us the most. The ERA will apply to every facet of our 10000131.docx 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 131st Legislative Day 5/16/2018 lives including healthcare. For instance, white women are more likely to develop breast cancer but black women face a higher mortality rate. Including in the Constitution that all women should have access to the medical care that they need will save black women's lives. Over the past year and a half we have seen how easily decades of progress can be erased when our rights are not guaranteed by the Constitution but rather left up to the interpretation of administrations. For all of our mothers who have worked so hard to build a world that is more just than the society that they grew up in, it is now our responsibility to our daughters and to young women like so many that we have watching us today in the gallery who deserve to have their basic human rights guaranteed by the Constitution to vote 'yes' for the ERA. The Equal Rights Amendment will not guarantee that women will be treated equally overnight. Just as African Americans and people of color continue to fight for equal rights under the 14th Amendment, women will have to remain vigilant to protect their rights after the passage of the ERA. It is time to finally put women who make up over half of our country's population into the Constitution. It will ensure that discriminatory practices and policies towards women are enshrined in our founding documents. I am urging my Republican colleagues to consider your mothers and your daughters and all of the women in your districts when the opportunity comes to vote for the ERA. Focus on them rather than politics. And I am calling on Governor Rauner to prove that he truly believes in equality as he said that he does last week and encourage Members of his caucus to vote 'yes' for the ERA. Thank you." 10000131.docx 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 131st Legislative Day 5/16/2018

"Thank you. So, my first point of personal privilege is to acknowledge my shadow, Dani Townsend. Dani Townsend is in college for social work, she is an alumni of the foster care system. And she had the pleasure of working with me and sitting in Jud Civ all morning. And I think she learned a lot from that process, and I certainly had a wonderful opportunity to talk with her. I am convinced she will be sitting in one of our seats in the not so distant future. She's a wonderful advocate for the causes she believes in. So, please give her a welcome if you would."
"Thank you for being with us today. We appreciate it. And number two, Sir."
"And number two is for the benefit of all the Members of the chamber, as you may recall I am the leader of the bacon caucus in Illinois.

I'm very, very proud of them. I, too, have a shadow today.

As I have mentioned on other occasions, Asian Americans are the fastest growing demographic group in Illinois and across the nation. In our state, our numbers exceed 600 thousand or more than 5 percent of the Illinois population. 10000131.docx 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 131st Legislative Day 5/16/2018 We are talking about an extremely diverse population with over three dozen ethnic groups and hundreds of languages spoken. We are also extremely diverse in terms of socio- economic status, number of generations in the United States, from the very recent immigrants who experience daily barriers to those who have been here for five, six, or seven generations. We have highly educated professionals as well as those who arrived as refugees having been uprooted from their homes because of war or political turmoil. What binds us together despite this diversity is our common experience and history of struggle within a system of racial inequality in the United States. I am proud to have the opportunity to serve in this chamber to represent this community and to lift up their contributions and experiences, their needs and interests. I would like to acknowledge and applaud the advocates who have joined us in the Capitol today, they are here in the gallery behind me and I ask that they stand.

And the great thing is, she's sitting with the seventh and eighth grade students from Zion Lutheran School in Mt. Pulaski. So, the fact that we have someone from the City of Chicago, from Representative Flowers' district, sitting with the folks from Mt. Pulaski a community of 17 hundred from the 18… the 87th District is a wonderful thing. And I know they're having a good time talking to each other today. So, please welcome to the Capitol today."

"Thank you very much. Mr. Bennett."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Two points if I may…"
"You may."

The first, if I may, I'd like to turn to my right up in the gallery and ask for Lindsey Jensen, husband-Morgan, parents-Deb & Alan Karch, Alan Passwood, Monty and Amy Jensen stand also if you would with me. Here we go. If I may, Lindsey Jensen is the 2017/2018 Illinois Teacher of the Year. Yes, that's a tremendous honor. Tremendous.

She began teaching 12… or has been teaching for 12 years. And began her career as a teacher's aide. Lindsey is known for presenting material in creative ways, through song and for her desire to… for students to not only earn good grades but also truly understand the material. A selection committee formed by the Illinois State Board of Education, a group of veteran Illinois Teachers of the Year and finalists along with Superintendent Dr. Tony Smith selected Lindsey Jensen to be the Illinois 2018 Teacher of the Year for her passion for teaching, her commitment to students, and for dedication to the profession.

"Mr. Speaker, you know my fondness for foster children, I've spoken about it a number of times here on the floor. I want to thank my colleagues for the support they gave us on House Bill 5122, a Bill that would allow at-risk Foster Youth In Care to go on to get a higher education degree with a lost dollar waiver. Many of the students that we're recognizing in here today would probably be students who could benefit from that program. So, I'm looking forward to that becoming law. I would like the House to give a warm Springfield welcome to my shadow for the day, Pierre Hogan, who is volunteering with the Foster Care Alumni of America, the Illinois Chapter. He is a former Youth In Care, currently lives in Bronzeville and is a working, productive citizen of this great state. Let's please welcome Pierre Hogan, my shadow for the day." 10000131.docx 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 131st Legislative Day 5/16/2018
"Thank you for being with us. Appreciate it. Mr. Bennett, I forgot your second point of personal privilege."
"It's all good, Mr. Speaker, and I thank you very much for allowing me to have a second point of personal privilege. We just mentioned Lindsey Jensen and her family. I also need to take a moment to recognize Ann Marrero. Ann, if you would please stand. She's with us here. She has been with the State Board of Education for over 33 years, folks. This will be her twentieth year contributing Those Who Excel Program, which annually recognizes educators, administrators, board members, staff, and community members from across the entire State of Illinois. Ann is not one to put herself in the spotlight, so she will hate that we are recognizing her right now. But based on her commitment to this program through the State Board and to her teachers, as she calls them, she's more than deserving. Would you please help me give her a wonderful thank you, please."
"Welcome. And thank you. You don't have a third one do you, Mr. Bennett? Want to give me one for next week, save some time? No?"
"No, Sir. We're all good for now. But thank you."

"There's… there's only one more. Representative Bellock."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Thank you for doing that. I just wanted to take the time also to introduce my shadow for the day, Kyrie Ghant. And she's here, she goes to school in the City of Chicago. We had a short discussion but a very serious discussion on her ideas about more jobs for kids and more homes for the homeless.
