"The House will give the Gentleman their attention. Proceed, Sir."

Everyone will have a fair opportunity to have his Bill presented and heard and I don't want to be confronted at a later time with a great number of Bills and an inability to devote sufficient time to them. It will only be the Sponsors who will suffer at that later date."
"Representative Kane."
"Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, I think that there's more to hearing Bills than just simply the convenience of the Members. I think that there are people who are interested in this legislation. They should have an input. We have rules that require posting deadlines. I think that we ought to adhere to them except in an emergency. I don't think this is an emergency. The Bills can be heard next week and I would object."
"Representative Stearney, according to the rules if there's not unanimous consent your request cannot be put."
"Mr. Speaker, let me make another Motion for Mr. Kane. Can we suspend the rule to have Senate Bill 100 heard tomorrow? Representative McAuliffe is the Sponsor and wanted it called."
"The Gentleman is amending his request to suspend the rules, to suspend the posting rules for hearing for the Judiciary Committee only to apply to Senate Bill 100. The Gentleman asks the substance of the Bill."

"What's the nature of the emergency for this?"
"Representative Neff."
"Representative Kane, we have a limit of amount of time. We have more Bills we will have to hear. I've only got two Bills posted for tomorrow and we'll have the time to hear the three more. I can't even tell you what the Bills are because I just got them assigned to me and haven't looked them up yet but I see no reason why we shouldn't go ahead 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day and hear them."

"I would say the same thing as if the chairman of the Committee doesn't know what's in the Bills I don't think anybody else does either and I would object. I think we have plenty of time for regular posting notices."

"Mr. Speaker, some of the mushrooms have been getting restless and they've been attacking me this morning. It seems that there's a nasty rumor floating around that we are going to go home tomorrow afternoon. Could you enlighten this Body as to the validity of that rumor?"
