"Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, I rise today to address an issue that strikes at the very heart of Illinois' economic stability: The growing crisis in Chicago's 10400005.docx 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 5th Legislative Day 2/4/2025 commercial real estate market and its ripple effect on property taxpayers across the state. Not a week go by that bills aren't filed, presented in committee, and sent to this chamber for consideration that concerns some type of taxing issue. Whether it's special exemptions or carve outs for a particular population, a TIF district extension, a sales tax, income tax, or real estate tax matter, someone will attempt to move bills that get them a great press release in their district, maybe a regional or statewide media attention, and ultimately a photo opt with the Governor that says look here, we are doing a great thing. Let me draw your attention to recent op-ed in the Chicago Tribune concerning the activity in and around the Cook County Assessor's Office. Concerning these staggering… consider these staggering numbers. 70 West Madison Street, once valued at over $375 million just over 10 years ago, recently sold for 85 million. The former Groupon headquarters was valued at… at 600 West Chicago Avenue was valued at over $510 million and now has a sales price of $89 million. And now, 311 South Wacker Drive, once worth over $300 million, may sell for a little as $70 million. Yet, despite these market realities, Cook County's Assessor clings to outdated evaluations. 70 West Madison is still assessed at $317 million, almost four times its actual sales price. This disconnect doesn't just reflect four… poor fiscal management, it actively harms businesses struggling to survive in a challenging economic climate. These businesses are forced to appeal their property tax assessments, creating legal battle that cost time and resources. But the damage just doesn't stop at the Chicago city limits. As commercial properties win 10400005.docx 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 5th Legislative Day 2/4/2025 these appeals with their assessments and they are lowered, the tax burden doesn't just disappear. It shifts. It shifts to suburban homeowners, and small business owners, and communities across Illinois. Families already stretched thin are now facing skyrocketing property taxes, not because of their own community spending, but because of the fiscal irresponsibility miles away in Chicago. This is, yet again, another cautionary tale about the dangers of government overreach and fiscal mismanagement. When property taxes are used as a bottomless well to fund an ever-growing government budgets, we all suffer. Chicago Public Schools, for instance, continue to demand more funding, regardless of enrollment declines for budget inefficiencies. The result? Tax levies climb higher and higher, forcing assessors to inflate property values to meet revenue demands. But what can we do? First, we must reform our property tax assessment process to ensure that it reflects real-time market conditions. Assessments based on outdated or inflated valuations are not just inaccurate, they're unjust. Second, we need to impose tax levy restraints. Capping annual increases can prevent run away government spending from crushing taxpayers. And third, we must reform our overall tax and regulatory structure and create an environment where businesses can grow and thrive. Instead of relying on piecemeal incentives, we need comprehensive reforms that reduce burdensome regulations, lower taxes, and ensure a fair and predictable system that attracts investment and job creation in Illinois. Finally, we need greater transparency and accountability. An independent review process for major assessment discrepancies and strict 10400005.docx 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 5th Legislative Day 2/4/2025 oversight of government spending are essential steps to rebuild trust. Colleagues, this is not a Chicago problem, it's an Illinois problem. But without bold action, it will continue to erode our economic foundation. Ladies and gentlemen of the House, we need to fix this problem before it's too late. Thank you."

"I rise today as an elected Representative and former high school history teacher to speak out against something that chills me to my very core and threatens to impact young people for generations to come. Last week, the President of the United States issued an executive order purporting to end radical indoctrination in K-12 schools. In reality, this order does the exact opposite. It narrows the scope of education and limits the development of critical analytical skills in our children. Today's public school curricula in Illinois are rigorous explorations of the United States and the world. Students are not… are not taught what to think, but rather how to think. Today's students examine primary historical documents from multiple viewpoints to learn how to read and to think critically so they understand the complexity of our great nation through facts, not fear, justice, not jingoism. I can't think of anything more frightening than a generation of impressionable children taught to see through the lens of fear and ignorance. This President has 10400005.docx 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 5th Legislative Day 2/4/2025 demonstrated outright hostility towards immigrants, women, and LBGTQ folks through his rhetoric. And now, he seeks to attempt to turn this hostility into educational policy. Executive orders are threatening to take federal funding away from schools that thoughtfully examine historical facts, to prevent schools from acknowledging students' gender identity, or teaching students how to respect people, and insidiously to demand only patriotic admiration of a country whose story is truly complex. Demanding patriotic admiration has dangerous historical precedent. In Nazi Germany, Hitler and his regime targeted children with nationalistic propaganda to ensure their loyalty. In schools and in clubs they were taught not to think critically but to love Hitler and to be obedient to the state. I am proud that our students in Illinois are taught to consider the whole history of our nation's history: Its achievements, and its failures. Its proudest moments, and its most shameful. That is how we truly build a society that values all of its people. We do not yet have to give into this censorship. President Trump's executive orders are being challenged in court because it is illegal for the United States Department of Education to attempt to direct curriculum at the local level. I urge teachers, parents, and district leaders in the strongest possible terms to follow the laws of our nation and our state by continuing your normal operations. In a world where students, where all of us are inundated with so much misinformation and disinformation, we must stand up to those who would prevent us from seeking truth. We must demand that this executive order be rescinded. We must insist our children's education focus on critical 10400005.docx 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 5th Legislative Day 2/4/2025 thinking and facts. To do otherwise is a bold step towards tyranny. Thank you."

"I rise today to recognize the World Cancer Day. As many of you are aware, last month I announced that I share a bond with millions of Americans when I learned I have prostate cancer. After sharing this deeply personal news, I was overwhelmed with the thousands of text messages, comments, calls, and emails from many of you in this chapter as well, people across the state and even across the country. I want to thank… thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your words of encouragement, prayers, and kindness. Today, I am 17 treatments into my radiation and it is going well. I still plan to get through this bump in the road and get back to my old self in a little while. Cancer affects every single one of us in this body and across the state. All of us know someone who has been touched by this disease. I've learned that cancer is deeply personal. Whether you're living with cancer right now, in private, a caregiver, an advocate, your experience matters. I urge you to share it and become part of the movement to improve cancer care and one day irradicate it forever. On World Cancer Day, I want you to shed light on the importance of screening and early detection of not only prostate cancer, but all cancers. Screening tests are available for lung, colon rectal, breast, prostate, and cervical cancer. Each cancer type has recommendations for 10400005.docx 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 5th Legislative Day 2/4/2025 when to start screening and the frequency. By screening for cancers that have a screening test, it can be caught in an early stage. By increasing cancer screenings for these cancers types, we can all work together to lower the mortality rate of this terrible disease. I want to give special thanks to the Illinois Department of Public Health, and specifically Scott Reimers for your help in educating me about cancer and providing the steadfast support that I needed in this difficult time. I also want to thank the American Cancer Society, Cancer Action Network, and specifically Ally Lopshire for offering to work together to find legislative solutions towards expanding cancer research screening and early detections. As I continue along this journey, I am excited to learn more about what we can do right here in Illinois to move forward, a world where we can have a cure. I'm asking you for us all to join in this fight. Thank you."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I rise because some of the conversation that was just had in this chamber about the public education system and about critical thinking and indoctrination from the Trump administration. I want to make one thing clear: I stand with President Trump. Government- run schools are failing the State of Illinois. They're failing our kids. We spend $24,000 per kid. Seventy percent of them can't read or write and Governor Pritzker is bragging on this. 10400005.docx 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 5th Legislative Day 2/4/2025 I don't know if you guys remember, there was a bill called Senate Bill 818 several years ago when I was a freshman. You want to talk about radical indoctrination? You want to talk about something that we shouldn't be teaching in schools? Right now, they're teaching kids that are kindergarteners, they don't know the difference between a boy or a girl. Third graders, don't talk to your parents about it, but you can get gender hormone treatment. Sixth and seventh graders, hey, you can have surgeries to change who you are. I stay with President Trump. We have zero school choice in the State of Illinois since you guys killed the Invest in Kids Act. And you have the nerve to come in here and say, well, Donald Trump's not doing his job, boo this man. He's trying to change America for the better. Our kids need to be educated. Reading, writing, arithmetic. Enough with this radical indoctrination. Stand with our kids. Stand against the radical indoctrination. Nationalistic agendas, school choice is here to stay folks. Everybody in this room needs to understand that. Look at other states, look at Texas, look at the fight going on down there. We stand for our kids. Invest in kids. Kindergartners again… and remember, guys, two genders, male and female. Thank you."

"And if you could, Mr. Speaker, just oblige me for a little bit. On behalf of the Black Caucus, happy Black History Month, happy Black History Month, happy Black History Month. 10400005.docx 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 5th Legislative Day 2/4/2025 It is no secret. We are fully aware of the contentious and polarizing times that we are living in today. Where are those… there… there are those that have no interest whatsoever to preserve Black history. We stand here today proud, humbled, blessed, honored, excited to recognize, highlight, and celebrate Black history. Throughout this month here in Springfield, you will hear from various Black Caucus Members as we shield light on just some of the great accomplishments and contributions we've made to impact change here in Illinois, across the country, before our entire world. If we said it once, we'll say it again. Black history is American history. Black history is American history. Black history is American history. It's been quite the journey, ladies and gentlemen, for Blacks in America. Ladies and gentlemen, we're talking about 1619 and how millions of Americans were brought here through the Middle Passage. Two hundred and fifty years, 250 years of chattel slavery, 11 years of failed reconstruction, 63 years of Jim Crow, but yet, we rise. We rise and we press forward with this unbreakable, phenomenal, unwavering, remarkable resilience. So, when we talk about equity, we talk about equality, we talk about fairness, if we've done anything this month, we want you to gain a deeper understanding about this very important historical context. And, Members, it's really not just about regurgitating history. Today, in 2025, Blacks in Illinois are disproportionally impacted by every social determinate of health. Are you going to hear us preach this month? Yes. Are you going to hear us advocate? You will. But we come to you in a collaborative spirit. It's not just about being a State 10400005.docx 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 5th Legislative Day 2/4/2025 Rep. and being in the room. We have to get something done. We need you. We need each and every one of you. We go further together. We go further together. We go further together. Many of you know, the Pentagon making a conscious decision not to celebrate Black History Month. I only thought it was fitting that we lift up the first and only Africa American to rise to the ranks of the Secretary of Defense. Rep. Tarver, Rep. Buckner, I think he's your Que Dog. Curtis, I think he's your Que Dog. Clayton. I'm talking about Secretary Lloyd James Austin III. Secretary Austin is a retired United States Army general, who served as the 28th United States Secretary of Defense from 2021 to 2025 in the administration of President Joe Biden. Before retiring from military in 2016, Austin served as the 12th commander of the United State Central Command, beginning in March 2013. Prior to that, he served as the 33rd vice chief of staff of the Army from January 2012 to March 2013. He was also the first Black to do that. As a commander of United States Forces-Iraq from September 2010, also to December 2011, he is the first African American to hold each of these positions. Very accomplished guy here. After retiring from the Armed Forces, Austin joined the boards of Raytheon Technologies, Nucor, Tenet Healthcare, and Auburn University. On December 7, 2020, he was nominated for Defense Secretary by then President-elect Joe Biden and was confirmed by United States Senate on January 20… January 22, 2021 by a vote of 93 to 2. Secretary Austin holds the unique distinction, all right listen to this, guys, the unique distinction of having commanded in combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan at the one-, two-, three-, and four-star levels 10400005.docx 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 5th Legislative Day 2/4/2025 and was the first African American to command a division, corps, and field army in combat. He is a recipient of the Silver Star, the nation's third highest award for valor, for his actions during the Iraq invasion, as well as five, five, Defense Distinguished Service Medals. Let's just think about it, ladies and gentlemen, we're talking about our military and what it means to us. It's there to protect our families, protect our communities, protect our country. So, when you talk about an African American male, through the pain, through the suffering, through systematic racism, served this country for 41 years, what it's telling you is that even though we've gone through these trials and tribulations, we love this country. We love this country. It also just goes to show you that when given the opportunity, when given the opportunity, we will rise. In this case, Secretary Austin rising, rising honorably with distinction, serving our country as the first and only African American to be the Secretary of Defense. Mr. Speaker, thank you so much, and thank you for allowing me to shed light on this important part of our Black history. Thank you."
