"The House will be in order. Members will be in their chairs. We shall be led in prayer today by Representative Grasse. Members and guests are asked to refrain from starting their laptops, turn off all cell phones, and rise for the invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance. Representative Grasse."
"Welcome all. I'm grateful to be with everyone today. As we gather here this day, may we speak the truth, even when it's difficult, even when it challenges power, even when the silence is easier. Honesty must be our foundation, not shaped by ideology, convenience, or personal gain. May we act with integrity, making decisions that serve the common good, not just private interests. Our responsibility is to the people, all of the people, not just the loudest voices or the wealthiest. May we stand for justice, ensuring that our laws uplift rather than oppress, protect rather than exploit. May we listen to those who have been ignored, advocate for those who have been overlooked, and hold ourselves accountable to those we serve. And may we treat one another with dignity. Debate should be strong and never cruel. Disagreements should be passionate, not hateful. We are not here to defeat one another but to build something greater together. May we remember that history will judge our service by the words we speak, by the actions we take, and by the lives we impact. Let us do this work with courage, with fairness, and with the unwavering commitment to leave our people and communities better than when we started. Thank you."

"I have with me today the infamous Johnathon Showalter. Those of you that have been here before, he's never been stumped on the House floor as far as who's the president of the United States. You pick a year, he'll tell you who the president was. In fact, a couple years ago, we had a meeting with the governor, and the governor thought he had him, but Showalter showed up and showed out. So, this is Johnathon 10400008.docx 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 8th Legislative Day 2/18/2025 Showalter. He's from Hamilton County Jr./Sr. High School. He's in seventh grade. He started doing this when he was in third grade, as far as memorizing the presidents, and he's now in seventh grade. His parents are in the gallery, Jodi Showalter and Gary, and his little sister, Faith. He participates as a… he's a choir member. He performs the national anthem. So, not only does he have an amazing mind, he also has an amazing voice. And so, he helps also in the concession stand at different events. He's a member of the 4- H since fifth grade. He's a participate… a participant in Veterans and Memorial Day services, IMPACT Youth Groups. If you guys are thinking you're going to overtalk me, it ain't going to happen. Mr. Showalter comes once a year, and I want you to hear about who he is. Again, he's… he participates in the 4-H since fifth grade. He's a… participates in the Veterans and Memorial Day services, IMPACT Youth Group at Ten Mile Baptist Church, and he's actually recently helped to make lap blankets for the elderly. He's received the President's Award for Educational Excellence, Drug Abuse Resistance Education. He's a graduate of that and a distinguished high honor since fourth grade. How about a great big welcome? Make some noise for Johnathon Showalter."

So, I 10400008.docx 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 8th Legislative Day 2/18/2025 just want to wish… wish him a very happy birthday and… and everyone can join me in wishing him the… the greatest of days as well.

"Thank you. Today, I speak with enthusiasm and ambition as we announce the transformative step forward toward a more efficient and responsive governance system in Illinois, the formation of the Illinois Government Efficiency Caucus. This bipartisan effort marks our commitment to alleviating the financial pressures of our constituents by reducing government expenditures and tackling inflation. As the governor prepares to deliver the State of the State and the Budget Address tomorrow, the 19th, it's imperative to recognize this is a pivotal moment of embracing sustainable fiscal policies. The IGEC brings a novel approach to our legislative community. Our primary focus is to achieve legislative efficiency by identifying and advocating for initiatives that lower costs and bolster the quality of public services. We do not… we do this with a sharp focus on learning from successes beyond Illinois. On the national stage, the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, sets a precedent by pioneering cost-saving measures while maintaining and even enhancing service delivery standards. Parallel to DOGE's mission, we envision a similar roadmap for Illinois by 10400008.docx 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 8th Legislative Day 2/18/2025 adopting these proven methods to our unique needs and circumstances. This is why I urge my colleagues to cosponsor Leader John Cabello's HB1266, which establishes the Illinois Department of Government Efficiency to bring accountability and cost-saving measures to our state. Our commitment extends further to ensuring a transparent budget reform by crafting a comprehensive budget proposal grounded in transparency and open to public scrutiny and legislative debate. We present an invitation to all stakeholders to actively engage in this journey. Governor Pritzker's upcoming budget address provides an opportune backdrop to reevaluate our budget priorities under this new light of efficiency and accountability. Members in the IGOC is a… IGEC is a call to action for all Members of the 104th General Assembly. It's a… more than a commitment, it's a pledge to uphold fiscal responsibility and champion public trust. By participating actively in our caucus meetings, undertaking a critical review of legislative proposals and a legislative collaborative budget reforms, Members stand at the forefront of advocating for a government that works smartly for the people. Moreover, our foundation stands on nonpartisan principles, ensuring that every Member, irrespective of party alliance, has an equal voice in this crucial mission. In a climate often divided by party lines, the IGEC seeks to unite us in the pursuit of greater efficiency and transparency. As we forge ahead with purpose and resolve, the goal remains centered on restoring visible, effective governance and directly impacts the quality of life for all Illinoisans. The time for fiscal responsibility is now. Illinois cannot afford more reckless spending, more 10400008.docx 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 8th Legislative Day 2/18/2025 borrowing, and more crushing taxes. Governor Pritzker must recognize that the path forward requires discipline, restraint, and a commitment to economic sanity. The people of Illinois deserve a government that respects their hard-earned dollars and prioritizes real solutions over political expedience. Governor Pritzker, the time is now. Let's not waste another golden opportunity. Let's do the right thing. Thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to recognize my page for the day, who's an incredible young man. You can see the top of his head floating here next to me. He's one of my absolute favorite people in the world. I've loved him even since before he was born, but I really could've never imagined the young man that he was going to grow up to be. He's the oldest of all my siblings' kids, and since I don't have any kids of my own yet, we've got a pretty special relationship. I always tell him, 'Dude, how does it feel, out of a hundred million 9-year-olds on earth, to be the coolest one alive?' And he just kind of smiles and shrugs his shoulders 'cause he's so humble, but he is the coolest one. And I also need to give a shoutout to his mom, who is up in the gallery today. She's amazing, y'all. She wrangled her five kids to come down here, and we're hoping that that fifth one stays in the oven for about two more weeks or else Dr. Hauter might need to do a delivery in the chamber today. Willie loves baseball and 10400008.docx 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 8th Legislative Day 2/18/2025 Minecraft. He's an awesome big brother. He sets a great example for his siblings. And Willie has a real unique opportunity to get ahead in life because Willie is homeschooled. You see, here's the thing: Homeschooled kids tend to do better on standardized tests. They score 130 points higher on the SAT. Homeschooling empowers kids to learn in a tailored environment, helps build strong family bonds, enables kids to learn beyond what a normal curriculum would allow. Y'all, this kid is nine and can recite the Gettysburg Address, the Preamble of the Constitution, and can name all the presidents. I don’t know anybody in this chamber else that could do that, except for maybe Representative Severin's page. Unfortunately, some Members of this General Assembly are trying to wrap homeschooling in red tape. Nobody wants this. Parents don’t want this. Kids don’t want this. Teachers don't want this. Instead of scapegoing home… scapegoating homeschool families, who do an amazing job of preparing the next generation for success, let's get real about how in Quincy only a quarter of white students read at grade level. In Waukegan only 11% of Hispanic students read at grade level. In Decatur only 1% of Black students are proficient at reading. Think about that. There's a hundred people in this room right now. Imagine if only one of us was proficient at reading. That's a problem. Homeschooling isn't the problem. Homeschooling is part of the solution. If we're serious about helping kids, let's support our teachers and get kids back on track. We can do things that will help this. One, daytime curfews to address truancy. Two, give kids a second chance to be successful in a grade instead of just passing them to keep 10400008.docx 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 8th Legislative Day 2/18/2025 up KPIs. Three, bring back vouchers so that families can have true choice in education. There are some things we can be doing right now to give kids a brighter future. Coming after homeschool families is not one of them. So, I ask all of you, let's stand up for homeschool kids like Willie. Let's make sure they have every opportunity to succeed. Thank you."

"I rise to state my dismay at the far left's reaction to President Trump renaming the Gulf of America. It seems strange to me the same party that supports the renaming of historic landmarks, such as Mount McKinley and military bases, would oppose the renaming of a body of water. President Trump, in his executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, stated the reason was, 'The area formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico has long been an integral asset to our once burgeoning Nation and has remained an indelible part of America.' The intent of the proclamation is to honor the greatness of our nation and to restore national pride in our country. What exactly about this concept does the Democrat Party oppose? It seems the Democrat Party's hatred for President Trump supersedes love of country, which is sad. As Americans, we should take pride in our nation, our heritage, and our values, but the modern left is more interested in focusing on the things that divide us rather than the things that should unite us. The Gulf of America honors the greatness of our nation, while also preserving the namesake of the two 10400008.docx 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 8th Legislative Day 2/18/2025 largest continents in the Western Hemisphere, North and South America.

"Representative West, for what reason do you seek… I'm sorry, Leader West, what reason do you seek recognition?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm… I rise for the Black History Month tribute."
"Please proceed."
"Thank you, sir. I wanted to do my Black History Month on the… on Lewis Lemon, who was the founder of the City of Rockford, where I reside. Once a slave, forever a founder. Born a slave in North Carolina in the year 1812, like most child slaves, he did not have much hope for his future. But after 17 years, his life was about to change and his whole destiny as well. Lewis' master, Orrin D. Lemon, moved him to Alabama, and there he was selling Lewis as a slave for life for about $450. This would equate in today's money as… for over $13,000 for his body. A businessman by the name of Germanicus Kent purchased young Lewis to most likely be a house servant. Lewis Lemon was then known as Lewis Kent, traditionally taking the last name of his master. Shortly after purchasing Lewis, Kent's brother told Germanicus that Galena, Illinois is a place of opportunity. Germanicus Kent then decided to them move to Illinois with his family and Lewis Lemon. Arriving in Galena, Kent and Lewis met a man by the name of Thatcher Blake. Blake and Kent grew into friends and decided to travel to the Rock River Valley together. In June of 1834, they had left Galena in a wagon and set off to 10400008.docx 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 104th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 8th Legislative Day 2/18/2025 Northern Wisconsin. They reached the Pecatonica River and bought a canoe and traveled the rest way on the river. Lewis was traveling with Kent and Blake and most likely doing much of the hard manual labor, like paddling the dug… the dugout canoe, considering he was the slave for Kent at the time. The men stopped at a junction with the Pecatonica and Rock Rivers, reaching a small stream that… it is now known as Kent Creek, named after Germanicus Kent, and decided that this was the place to live and started his lumber mill. On August 24, 1834, the men began the start of the City of Rockford. Lewis Lemon and Germanicus Kent had an agreement that Lewis Lemon would work for Kent until he… until he had paid $800 with a 10% interest for Lewis' freedom. It would take Lemon about six years and two months to earn enough money to pay for his life back. Lewis Lemon was a slave in Rockford, Illinois from May 1835 to September 1839, making him now a free man. Lewis is now recognized as one of the official three founders of the City of Rockford, later having a local elementary school share the same name. Additional recognition for Lewis Lemon came to light when an eighth-grade class in 1995 from Wilson Middle School discovered his empty gravesite and placed a gravestone reading, 'Born a Slave-Died free.' Lewis Lemon is one of the amazing stories last… lost in history. He conquered so much as an African American man, once a slave, then starting over as a free man with barely anything to show. Lewis Lemon worked hard for Kent and for… and for Rockford, but, more importantly, for his freedom. This is in honor of Lewis Lemon, the founder of the City of Rockford.
