"Please state your point."

Daniel Swanson (R)

"Thank you. To all the Members of the House, listen up, please. In coordination with the Illinois National Guard, Major General Neely, Speaker Welch, and Leader Durkin, I've put together a field trip to visit Lincoln's ChalleNGe at Rantoul on 1 April. The Illinois Army National Guard will provide two CH-47 aircrafts, each capable of carrying 25 packs. General Neely will be on one craft. General Boyd will be on the second aircraft. Because of the limited seating, this is a first come, first serve opportunity. Please send an email to my legislative aide, Amanda Daley, at [email protected] with the following information: your full name, home address, emergency contact with their phone number. Additionally, the National Guard will require each passenger to complete a waiver form, which I have here at my desk that I will need you to fill out. I must turn these in this afternoon so the National Guard can create individual travel orders and the flight manifest. The first 50 people to send emails will get a seat on the aircraft. I'm going to reserve 51-54 so if someone drops off, I don't want to have an empty web seat on the aircraft. I reserved seats for our two House photographers. Additionally, the Air or Army Guard will have PAO personnel, public affairs office or personnel, traveling with us to help with additional coverage. For planning purposes, the aircraft will… the aircrafts will depart at 0800 hours from Springfield at the Stellar's air terminal. Possibly our Springfield colleagues can help us out 10200091.docx 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 91st Legislative Day 3/25/2022 with where that is. This is a military operation, so the aircraft will depart at 0800 hours, not at 0800 hours has come and gone. At 0800 hours. They will return back to Springfield at approximately 11:15 hours. So, I would suggest no later than 07:15 hours at the airfield so you can receive your safety briefing and we can load the aircraft. Once at Lincoln's ChalleNGe, we will receive an overview brief of Lincoln's ChalleNGe. And I'm working with Colonel Retired James Smith now, Chief of Staff the Illinois Department of Military Affairs, for the on-ground itinerary. After the overview brief, we'll be broken down into several smaller groups and escorted around Lincoln's ChalleNGe by current cadets in training. After the tour, we will return to Rantoul Airport, departing approximately 10:30 hours. Suggestions for those of you who want to go, dress appropriately. As Representative Mayfield's husband has said, Chinooks tend to leak oil, that means they're flyable. I suggest wearing pants, flat shoes, and a comfortable top. We may be loading the aircraft with the props turning, and I don't want to see anybody's… lose a… clothing. Hearing protection. If you have your own fitted, I would suggest you bring them along. Otherwise, some will be provided. There's not enough room on the aircraft for luggage, but if you want to carry a water bottle or something like that on with you, that's okay. Once all the details are finalized, I will most likely meet with the group next week to discuss any changes. The tough part. I'm sorry I could not get enough aircraft for everyone to participate. I think we are so fortunate to get two aircraft to be able to take on this opportunity so that everyone can 10200091.docx 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 91st Legislative Day 3/25/2022 see what goes on at Lincoln's ChalleNGe. I've got the documents, as I said, here. Rush your emails. I'm already going to… I'm going to be checking with Amanda to see what emails she's received so far. But please, I would like for you to come over and sign one of these forms. Fill it out so I can get them turned in. If you have any questions, I'll be in the chamber the rest of the day. Thank you."

"I would like to… in honor of Women's History Month, I would like to bring the attention of the passing of a great woman. WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of Representatives are saddened to learn of the death of Esther Isabelle Brazier, who passed away on March 19, 2022 at the age of 92; and WHEREAS, Isabelle Brazier was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on March 24, 1929; she married Bishop Arthur M. Brazier, and he preceded her in death; and WHEREAS, Isabelle Brazier was deeply committed to the Apostolic Church of God (ACOG) alongside her husband, Bishop Brazier; she played a vital role in many ministries of the church, including the ACOG choirs and the youth orchestra, all while raising her family and supporting her husband; and WHEREAS, Isabelle Brazier will be remembered for being a devoted wife, a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, a caring friend, and a dedicated leader; and 10200091.docx 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 91st Legislative Day 3/25/2022 WHEREAS, Isabelle Brazier was the wife of Bishop Arthur M.

This was a great woman, in the church that I belong to, that served the communities of thousands of, not only adults, but young people. She had a heart for the young people. And she gave so much to our church. She'll be deeply missed. We should take the example of a person that gives of themselves in this chamber 'cause that's what we are all here to do, give of ourselves for the people. As we say at Apostolic, praise the Lord, saints. Praise the Lord. Thank you."

"If any of you are like me, sometimes you tend to over… I tend to overindulge in some of the wonderful food that we have down here in Springfield. So, in an effort to stay maybe a little more physically fit and burn some calories, Representative Ford and myself started running every other day last Session. And so, we decided that we're going to make 10200091.docx 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 91st Legislative Day 3/25/2022 an offer to start the running caucus or the running/walking caucus in case anybody wants to walk. So, the last two weeks of Session, we're going to meet every morning and run a little bit. So, we'd like to invite anybody else that wants to come out with us. And we're going to start Tuesday morning at 6:45, so… I thought that might get some reaction. 6:45. Sometimes we run downtown. Sometimes we run out at the IDOT building. Sometimes Washington Park. So, Tuesday morning at 6:45, at the Lost Bridge Trailhead out at the IDOT building off of Dirksen. We would invite anybody to come out and run, walk at your own pace. And it's a good way to stay physically fit and have some good conversations about what we do here and build some camaraderie. So, please come on out and join us."

"Members, Representative Swanson gave us an opportunity, and I'm hoping so many of us will take advantage. We will be down here on April 1 for Session. So, this is a pre-Session event. So, for those of you who are not familiar with Lincoln's ChalleNGe, I do have a flier. I noticed that several Members from that side of the aisle bum-rushed him to get on this list. Members from our side need to go here as well. This is a free-tuition program. It is six months. It's for youth ages fifteen and a half to eighteen that are struggling. These are youth who are… we are losing them in the system. They're dropping out of school. They're struggling in school. They have… some of them have IEPs. Some of them have behavioral problems. The parents are at wits' 10200091.docx 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 91st Legislative Day 3/25/2022 end. They don't know what to do. But this school, what they do is, they refocus these children. They help them to obtain a GED. In some cases, they help them to do credit recovery so that they can walk on the… they can do the graduation with their classmates, which is really great. But just… I want to talk about just some of the classes that they offer for those students who aren't going to go back to school. They offer HVAC. They offer driver's training, OSHA training, finance classes, welding, computer classes, forklift certification, nutrition classes. Again, this is totally free. We are paying for this out of our public safety appropriation dollars. And I think it would be great to have several Democrats join me on this helicopter. I am terrified of flying, but as my husband stated, he's military, he stated that as long as the Chinook is shaking and spinning oil, we will be safe. So, please join me in signing up. This is a great program, and I want Democrats to join us. I want this to be bipartisan. This is a great experience for our youth, and it's something you can take back. I do have a flier if you want to come see this. But it's something that all of your schools should be promoting. It is free. Thank you so much."

"Thank you very much. Representatives, again, this is just a gentle reminder. We talked a couple days ago about the Diabetes Caucus. Just want a gentle reminder for anybody who still would like to sign up for the Diabetes Caucus, I've got the forms here at my desk. So, please come on over and grab 10200091.docx 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 91st Legislative Day 3/25/2022 one. If you take it with you, just make sure your LA gives it to… or your LC gives it to my LC, possibly before you leave today. So, just a reminder. If you're still interested in signing up for the Diabetes Caucus, please come pick up a form at my desk today. Thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This morning I had the pleasure of attending the Illinois State Police Heritage Foundation's unveiling of the inscription honoring fallen State Trooper Todd Anthony Hanneken. This was a very solemn event. We have a State Police Memorial Park, if you haven't seen it, over by the state police headquarters. It's 615 East Lawrence Avenue, where they inscribe the name of every fallen state police officer who's given his life in the line of duty. Today we honored Todd Hanneken, fallen State Trooper, who was a member of the Cadet Class #100. And also, coincidently, coincides with the day of his passing, one year ago today. Reminds us of the dedication that the men and women who serve us go through, I guess, is… and experience. We don't honor their service often enough. Today was a very solemn reminder of the last measure of service that Todd Hanneken offered our state. And I'd like just to take a moment of silence to honor the memory of fallen State Trooper Todd Hanneken on the first anniversary of his passing in the line of duty."

"I have the honor today to talk about a woman that… for Women's History Month… that I am so proud to say that was a friend of mine, was a friend to many people in this room, and to many people throughout this state. So, in honor of Women's History Month this time, I am happy to talk about one of the best-known women in Illinois political history, Judy Baar Topinka. As many people know, Judy was probably the best person in the world to talk about bipartisanship and working across the aisle. Topinka began her career as a reporter and 10200091.docx 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 91st Legislative Day 3/25/2022 was motivated to go into government because of the politics and local issues she covered. After winning in a crowded primary, she was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1980, and then continued to serve in the State Senate for over a decade. After serving three terms as Illinois Treasurer, Topinka ran for Governor and became the first woman to receive the Illinois GOP nomination for that office. She was also the first woman to serve as the Illinois Republican Chairperson. After her campaign for Governor, she made a political comeback by getting elected as Comptroller in 2010. And she was the first woman to win two different statewide offices. She passed away suddenly, only a month after winning reelection as Comptroller. She was a dedicated public servant until the… up until the very end of her life. Judy was known for her bigger-than-life personality, and her practicality, and her willingness to work across the aisle. Judy loved polka, and she never passed a garage sale without stopping in to check out the best deals. I have a personal connection to Judy. She was a great friend of my uncle, and they had a morning coffee club that they called the Rusty Button Club. And as my uncle passed away just a few years after Judy, they still remember both of them as they go. She was an institution in Illinois politics and our state. And our state is much better place for having her as part of it. Thank you for helping me honor Judy Baar Topinka."
