"Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, if the Chair could have your attention, we would like to interrupt the proceedings today to introduce the 1985 Illinois Junior 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 Miss. Kathy Klockenkemper is the new Junior Miss for 1985. She's an 18 year old high school senior, honor student at Marquette High School in Alton, Illinois, which is my alma mater. She resides in Godfrey with her parents, Paul and Joan. She is a member of the National Honor Society and a member of her high school council. She will be representing Illinois on June 21, 1985, at the National Junior Miss competition in Mobile, Alabama. During the state and national competition, her talent is poetry, and she plays the piano, and I would like to have her say a few words to the Body now. Kathy?"
"Thank you. Thank you. I'd just like to thank all the Representatives for allowing me to be here today. It really is a great honor, and I'd like to ask a favor. Junior Miss' motto is 'Emphasis on Excellence', and there are many local Junior Miss programs in your districts. I would like to ask you if you could support these Junior Miss programs. Give them all the help they need so this excellence can continue. Thank you."
"Well, we certainly extend our congratulations to you, Kathy, and best of luck in the national competition. Representative Greiman in the Chair."
"We have another moment of introduction. Representative Woodyard?"
"We're getting some people on the podium, here. I think you've all heard of Hoosier Hysteria. Well, I'll tell you, my home town had some hysteria a few weeks ago when we participated in the championship game for the Class A Boys' Basketball Tournament, and although we didn't quite make it past Providence St. Mel, I don't think many teams in the state would have. But anyway, it's indeed a real pleasure and honor for me to introduce our coach and present the members of the team to you. We have passed a 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 Resolution congratulating the team, and suitable copies of that will be presented to everybody. But I think a couple of notes of interest where's Randy 'Demoss'? Where... Down here? Take a look at this young guy. I don't know how many of you had a chance to watch that game that night, but in the coffee shop the next morning, I guess Randy had a little bruise under his eye, and somebody said, 'Why did you get that bruise?' And he said, 'Well, the last slam dunk that Lowell Hamilton made, his knee hit me in the eye.' The other thing I thought a real note of interest as the team was leaving town, a young person had put up a sign that said, 'The last one out of town, turn out the lights.' And in my home town of only 1300 people, that is about true. You could have shot a cannon down the streets, I'll tell you, and not hit a soul the afternoon of the championship game. But anyway Roger, congratulations to you. I would like you to introduce your team members, and I would like, at this time, to introduce to you our coach,
Roger 'Beals'.' Roger 'Beals': "First of all, I want to thank Babe Woodyard and Max Coffey for their friendship and the chance to come here today. You fellows and gals, when you're introduced, raise your hand or something. It's the only way we're going to find out where you're at. Okay. Randy 'Demoss', Steve 'Redmond', Troy 'Hollingsworth', Walter 'Holt', Wayne 'Pennington', Greg Hunt, Tony 'Randall', John Johnson, Eric 'Lusader', Dale Good, David 'Lawliss', John 'Morris', Jason 'Coe'; and our cheerleaders, Kim 'Walls', Angela 'Walls', Charlotte 'Shackman', Dawn 'Peg', Cindy 'Froman', Pam 'Beals', 'Julia Hobert', Valerie 'Debaun', Darla 'Redmond', Angela 'Hickson', Tammy 'Dillon', Candy 'Gillespie'; assistant coach Dave 'Chandler', my wife and statistician, Betty 'Beals'. Thank you." 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day
April 10, 1985 "Thank you very much, Roger, and I must also impose a few minutes more on your time. We also passed another Resolution, this time congratulating Coach Roger 'Beals'. In addition to the first time that my little home town has ever gotten to a championship game, Coach 'Beals' is being inducted into the hall of fame... the Basketball Hall of Fame later on this month, and I think that's just a tremendous honor for Coach Beals, and we congratulate him for that. He only lives about a block from my house, by the way. One other point of interest - he also drives the team bus. That way, we at least get to the games on time.

"Well, I wonder if you could just bring your remarks to a close at this point. We'll get back to you, Mr. Brunsvold. We were in the middle of debate, and I 7 22nd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 10, 1985 frankly thought you were going to address the Bill. We'll get back to Mr. Brunsvold. Excuse me, Mr. McCracken. The Clerk has examined the records, and I am advised that the Bill was moved to the Order of Third Reading on March 12, and that the request for a fiscal note was filed on March 13. Accordingly, the... As I indicated earlier, the request for a fiscal note was not timely. If you wish to address the Bill, Sir, you may do so."
"I would... I would defer to my colleague, Representative Wojcik, whom I interrupted on the point of order."
"Alright. Alright. There being no further discussion, the Gentleman from Fulton, Mr. Homer."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House."
"Excuse me. Excuse me. Ms. Wojcik, were you... did you not conclude your remarks?"
"I concluded my remarks, but in the meantime, there has been so much conversation regarding everything else but the Bill, and I just want the House to be alerted to the fact that this is a very costly Bill that we're discussing."
"Alright, Ms. Wojcik, thank you. You did conclude your remarks. Mr. Homer, proceed."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members of the House, this Bill affects about 16,000 residents in the State of Illinois. 14,000 of them are in long term nursing care facilities, and the other 2,000 in mental health institutions. What it provides is that those people - those 16,000 residents - who are drawing SSI benefits from the Federal Government, who are currently required to turn those benefits over to the state because the Department of Public Health made... Public Aid makes up the difference between the SSI benefits and the cost of living in that facility, they've been 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 allowed since 1974 to retain, for their personal needs, a total of $25 a month. That's $25 for each month they're allowed to keep to spend on all the types of personal items that they need. That amount has not been changed since its inception in 1974. What House Bill 87 does is simply increase that amount from $25 to $50. With the inflation growth since 1974, that will keep them at a lower rate than they really were drawing when the program was started. This Bill had bipartisan support last Session. It passed out of here with over 100 votes, died in the Senate Rules Committee. Similar legislation has passed the House of Representatives in Washington, with Cosponsors being Representative Bob Michel, Republican, the Minority Leader, and Congressman Lane Evans, a Democrat from Rock Island. This Bill should have all of our support. It's a fundamentally decent and fair thing to do. The $6,000,000 price tag is certainly more than reasonable when considered against the hardship imposed upon these residents, and I would urge your favorable support."
"Further discussion? There being none, Mr. Bowman to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This is an important Bill. The House last year thought it was an important Bill. It passed with over... with 100 votes. This directly affects the lives of many of our senior citizens and disabled persons who are living in nursing homes. At the present time, all they have to spend on their personal needs is $25 a month. That works out to less than a dollar a day, and out of that, they have to buy medicines, including some prescription medicines and all over-the-counter medicines. Out of that, they have to buy clothing. In fact, the incident which brought this to national attention - it was on the AP wire services - was 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 an incident in Canton where a lady could not afford to buy a pair of shoes because her old pair was 11 years old and worn out. So Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I don't care what the Federal Government's doing, I stand with the Governor when he says we ought to build Highway 51 regardless of whether we get another federal dollar or not. I don't care what they're doing, I think we ought to address this problem right here and now. This is for our old people and our disabled people in nursing homes so they can afford to buy prescription medicine and items of clothing and other personal needs, and I think it's time we passed this Bill and let the Senate work on it again this year."
"The question is, 'Shall this Bill pass?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is now open. This is final action. The Gentleman from DeWitt, Mr. Vinson, to explain his vote."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker. I think Members ought to look at this Bill very closely. It is another attempt to buy votes of a special interest group. We can't afford to buy enough votes with the resources this state has available to fund all of Mr. Bowman's schemes, and I would urge a 'no' vote on the Bill."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Brookins, to explain his vote. One minute, Sir."
"Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Assembly, let me explain just in detail what this Bill will do. When the old folks in nursing homes, the toilet articles, the toothpaste, and their little personal things that they need is taken from this fund that is set up, this little money. This would enable them to support themselves, to buy toothpaste, to buy toilet articles, and even to get some of the other little things that they warrant. After 10 22nd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 10, 1985 sacrificing and spending half their life in frugal work for the state, I think that they're entitled to this, and I think that we should give this to them. So I rise in support of this Bill. Thank you."
"Have all voted... Oh, the Gentleman from Bureau, Mr. Mautino. One minute to explain your...
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A 'yes' vote is the proper vote on this proposal, mainly because the appropriation by this administration shows Public Aid receiving the largest increase. I think it's about 138,000,000 above last year's expenditures. This is less than a dollar a day increase for those individuals who are in state facilities, which I think is something that is necessary, but more importantly, we tip our pages more than that in one day. We should be able to give those individuals in need an additional $25 a month for their personal effects."
"The Gentleman from Jersey, Mr. Ryder, one minute to explain your vote."
"Mr. Speaker, in the event - and it appears that event is here - I would request a verification."
"The Gentleman requests a verification. We'll get back to you. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this question, there are 64 voting 'aye', 44 voting 'no', none voting 'present', and the Gentleman from Jersey has asked for a verification of the Affirmative Roll Call.

"The Gentleman from Winnebago, Mr. Giorgi."
"Mr. Speaker, House Bill 131 amends an Act to relating the Circuit Courts. What it does is, this was the same as... this Bill is identical to House Bill 2252 which passed last Session, and just the... the Calendar caught it in the Senate. But what this does, it authorizes the Supreme Court to establish administrative programs under which certain multi-county circuits only multi-county circuits designated by the Supreme Court may acquire essential administrative personnel. As the case is now, the administrative personnel is hired by the county and then sometimes is in conflict with the judiciary because it reflects the legislative part of the government. And their pay is from the county, and in some of the multi-county districts, generally the Chief Judge's county bears most of the expense. So this puts it in the hands of the Supreme Court, and they are going to fund it, and they don't plan to fund it until 1986, and there are 10 circuits that are multi-county circuits. Nine of them are single circuits, and they are not included in this Bill. I'll answer any questions of any Legislators."

"House Bill 296, a Bill for an Act to amend the School Code. Third Reading of the Bill."
"The Gentleman from Peoria, Mr. Tuerk."
"Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, House Bill 296 is of an emergency nature. It involves, to my knowledge, only two school districts, one of which is in my district. The other school district is in an adjoining district. It may apply to other districts throughout the state, but at this point, I don't know. But what the Bill does in the case of reassessment of property of a major taxpayer, particularly if that taxpayer offers at least 25 percent of the district's total EAV, and if the assessed valuation of that taxpayer decreased enough to cause the total assessed valuation of the district to decrease by 6 percent or more, then the district will be permitted to use the previous assessed EAV rather than the lowered assessed EAV. It's designed to help those school districts who have been hurt 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 horribly by an assessed valuation decrease in assessment, and therefore this is like I said, an emergency type legislation. There is some precedent for it. We passed a Bill in the last Session allowing one school district the same provisions as this Bill provides. So I would solicit your support for this measure."
"The Gentleman from Peoria has moved for the passage of House Bill 296. And on that, is there any discussion? The Lady from Lake, Ms. Stern."

"Indicates that he will."
"Sir, does this use of the lowered equalized assessed valuation go on on an indefinite basis, or is it only for a year or two or five or what?"
"No, it's a one time basis. It would only apply to the next EAV calculation as it would be used for determining the school aid formula. It would be a one year deal."
"Thank you very much, Sir."
"Further discussion? There being none, the question is, 'Shall this Bill pass?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye'... Excuse me. Excuse me, Mr. Cullerton. Are you seeking recognition?"
"Yes, Mr. Speaker. Does the light not work?"
"The light is not showing here, Mr. Cullerton."
"Would you inform the electricians? Thank you."
"Alright."

"Proceed. I'm sure... I'm sure that Mr. Tuerk would be understanding."
"Basically, Representative, we changed the school aid formula for one year so as to give two school districts in your district $372,000 out of the State Treasury. Is that 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day correct?" April 10, 1985
"I don't have the exact figures, but it amounts to somewhere in that vicinity where the school districts are going to lose those funds if we don't pass this Bill. That's correct."
"And so it's going to come out of the General Revenue Fund?"
"Well, it comes out of the Common School Fund."
"Okay, which is the fund that we use to disperse funds throughout the state for education."
"That's correct."
"Well, I think we should support this. The Gentleman has always been supportive of the problems up in Chicago, and he has always been willing to look at the school aid formula in Chicago so as to have a fair and equitable resolvement of the problems there in Chicago, and here we have a situation where Caterpillar apparently had some problems, and they're a nice big employer in his district, and he's coming down here to try to get some money out of the General Revenue Fund to give to his own district, and I think that in light of the support that he's always shown us, other parts of the state, that we should keep that in mind when we vote for this Bill."
"Further discussion? Ms. Braun."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Gentleman yield?"
"Indicates he will."
"Which specific school district is benefited by this formula?"
"It's the Illinois Valley and Chillicothe and Illini Bluffs and 'Glasper', one of which is in my district, one of which is in an adjoining district."
"So two school districts in the state will benefit from this legislation." 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day

"But by virtue of the definition, only two districts qualify. I mean, it's almost like the dress was made for the districts the definition was created to fit the districts that this situation arose in. Right?"
"To my knowledge, that's the only two at the moment."
"Okay. Now, are we talking about $400,000 per district for each of these two districts, or $400,000... 372 for each district or is it just 372, period?"
"The one school district, Illinois Valley, would lose about 275,000 and the remainder would be for the other district. Just a moment. It would be around 450,000 between the two." Braun: does this legislation have "Okay. Now, let me ask you any kind of a phase out? I mean, is this just going to go into... "

"Proceed, Ms. Braun. Turn on Ms. Braun, please." Braun: question, "Something is wrong with the microphone. Okay. My Representative, is whether or not this 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 legislation is open-ended so that if, for example, a steel mill in Chicago went under and the... and it caused some dislocation in the amount of revenues that was received by the school board, if any school district could qualify under the formula here at any point in the future, or is this a finite, special interest, specially constructed piece of legislation having to do with the two school districts that you've mentioned."
"My immediate concern was of the two school districts involved. Now, if other school districts - and that's why I prefaced my remarks by saying to my knowledge, there's only two. However, if a school district were to lose at least 6 percent of its EAV as a result of one taxpayer providing at least 25 percent of that EAV, then a school district would qualify only for 1985-86 school year. Now, that's about as clear as I can get on the subject."
"It is. Thank you. One last... One final question, I suppose, or comment. Wasn't this situation... I mean, all the school districts in the state are in trouble. Wasn't this situation included in the Governor's proposal for re-educating and rebuilding Illinois schools? I mean, can't we just look to that pot of money as opposed to specially legislating for these two districts?"
"There's been a lot of money proposed to help schools, and as you indicate, some school districts are in trouble. I don't know of any proposal that's alive that addresses the issue that I'm addressing, and that is, and I repeat, when the EAV of one single taxpayer drops at least 25 percent or amounts to at least 25 percent of the total EAV, and if that assessment drops at least 6 percent, then this triggers in. Otherwise, it doesn't, and that's what the legislation proposes."
"Thank you, Representative" 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985
"The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Huff."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would the Sponsor yield for a question?"
"Indicates that he'll yield for questions."
"Representative Tuerk, I understand what you're trying to do, and I think asking the resource equalizer to consider the EVA of 1984 is really not inconsistent with the way that formula works. But my question is, has there been any diminuition in the ADA, the average daily attendance in the district that you're trying to support?"
"Not to my knowledge."
"Thank you."
"The Gentleman from Fulton, Mr. Homer."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen. The other school district that Representative Tuerk referred to is Illini Bluffs which is in 'Glassford', and it's in my legislative district. This type of legislation has a lot of historical precedent and in fact, just last Session, we passed almost identical legislation to address an identical problem that occurred in East Peoria school district, there. The Caterpillar plant in East Peoria fit the criteria of this Bill, and for last year on a one time only, legislation was passed to accommodate that situation. This year, there are no other school districts in the State of Illinois, in my understanding, that would qualify, because nowhere in the State of Illinois is a school district SO reliant upon one taxpayer that 25 percent of its total equalized assessed valuation comes from one taxpayer who has gone into a property tax appeal procedure and had its property taxes reduce the overall EAV of a district by more than 6 percent. This causes a catastrophic effect for these school districts. In the past, when this situation has arisen because of the 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 peculiarities of the equalizer formula, we've granted one year temporary relief by this type of legislation. We did the exact same thing with the farmland assessment Bill. In that case, where the farmland assessment legislation drove the EAV of a school district down below a certain level, last Session we passed legislation which allowed those school districts to utilize the... the subsequent year's EAV to plug into that school aid formula, which resulted in less of a decline in state aid. It isn't a hold harmless. These school districts are still going to come out on the short end because of the tremendous adverse impact of the reduction in the EAV. All that this does is allow them some sort of a modest cushion by taking the sting out of what will happen in the resource equalizer formula unless we take this type of action. So it only applies to the '84-'85 assessment, and it is a one time measure, and if in the future, some other school district in this state should find itself in the same predicament that these do as a result of the equalized assessed formula and its application in these circumstances, I'm sure that I would support an accommodation as we are asking for here. So I would ask for bipartisan support of the Bill."
"The Gentleman from Marion, Mr. Friedrich."
"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I had not intended to support this, but after Mr. Cullerton's remark about fairness, I'm reminded that in this state, a fourth of the pupils get a third of the money. I think that's fair. This ought to be fair, too, so I'm going to support it."

The current law allows the liquor control commissioner in the City of Chicago is the only one that... with the option of levying a fine on a licensee for violations of city ordinances. In municipalities under 500,000 population, the local liquor control commissioner 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 is limited to revoking or suspending any license if he determines that violations have occurred. We have a problem in the Village of Schaumberg due to the fact that we have many, many restaurants, liquor stores and areas where we are serving liquor or people are purchasing liquor. Oftentimes, the small business owners are products of entrapment, and they willfully do not sell liquor. However, they have to be closed down. So what we are asking today is that a fine could just be placed on the small business owner, and that's the way that he would be accountable for his actions. I ask for a favorable passage."
"The Lady from Cook moves for the passage of House Bill 314. And on that, is there any discussion? The Gentleman from Bureau, Mr. Mautino."

"Representative, are you providing that a fine will be levied statewide as it is in municipalities over 500,000 that is now the law? Turn her on."
"Representative, just home rule municipalities."
"Well, that's the current law now."
"Yes."
"Okay. Now, if I live in a home rule municipality under 500,00, let's say, or a county, a home rule county, are they under the same provisions?"
"It would not affect home rule counties."
"Only home municipalities like DeKalb and Springfield."
"Yes. Yes."
"That means if someone, let's say, was picked up for serving a minor, they would no longer be closed by the local liquor commissioner, but would be fined? Or would it 25 22nd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 10, 1985 be a combination of both?"
"It would be the fine first. They would not be closed."
"And then a closure."
"If there was continual acts of breaking the law in that respect, they would have been closed by the choice of the liquor commissioner."
"In other words, you're imposing both the closure and the fine with no limitation to the fine?"
"It's at their option."
"And are there any limits on the fine?"
"One thousand dollars maximum."
"And what would you... would you have any differential between, let us say, serving a minor or, let's say, if there's a under age minor in a place of business but not, for example, drinking, just happens to be in there, does that come under your purview of charges that would come under this?"

Specifically, the Bill mandated a design contest every four years, that quadrennial contest mandate was deleted, and it's now left at the prescription of the Secretary of State. In other words, he could change the license plates every... it's about every seven years, which 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 we changed them now. He could continue to do that. Additionally, there was some language deletion which, for purposes of vehicle identification or license plates identification by the law enforcement authority, if a design was chosen and had to be slightly modified because of identification of license plates, that would be permitted now under the Bill."
"The... What you suggest there is that the Secretary of State, rather than every four years, could do it whenever he found fit, for example, to line up with the issuance of multi-year plates. Is that correct?"
"Exactly. As he does now."

Now, this Amendment would appoint four Legislators, and I see no reason why the General Assembly should get involved in here.

The only type of bonds that this agency can float to begin with are revenue bonds, and revenue bonds, of course, stand or fall on the credit of the private developer. The Amendment would place an arbitrary number of 50 percent non-governmental monies. What about a situation where there vas only 49 or 48 percent non-governmental money available? The inflexibility makes this Amendment arbitrary and capricious, and it should not be adopted, because it would unduly hamper and limit the members of the 35 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 board to make a development plan, and implement a development plan that is badly needed in the East St. Louis are, and I ask you to vote 'no', to vote 'no' on this Amendment."

"Could you show me in the Bill where it says that it contemplates something other than revenue bonds, because the Sponsor believes it does. I was under the impression that it did. Perhaps we have a misunderstanding, here."
"We may. I don't know. I thought it provided for some other forms of funding besides revenue bonds."
"Well, if it doesn't, then your Amendment would be arbitrary and capricious."
"I don't think it's arbitrary and capricious."

"Floor Amendment #6, offered by Representative Vinson, amends House Bill 49..."
"The Gentleman from DeWitt, Mr. Vinson, on Amendment #6."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Assembly. Amendment #6 is a very simple concept. What the Lady is creating with the legislation is the East St. Louis Development Authority for the purpose of issuing revenue bonds to enhance the growth and development of East St. Louis. Now, East St. Louis is something that this chamber ought to be vitally concerned with. We ought to develop programs that will help it grow and will help it struggle out of the economic malaise that surrounds the area today. So I want to help her do that. The one concern I have, in looking at the Bill, there is no limit on the amount of bonds this agency could issue, absolutely no limit. It's an unlimited amount of bonds. Now, we have never done that with bonding authorities that we've created in the past. With groups like IDA, with groups like the Health Facilities Planning Board, the Environmental Facilities Funding Agency, Speaker Madigan's proposal last year for the Illinois Development Authority, with all of those, we always come in with the concept that the Legislature should set an upper limit on the number of bonds that these agencies can issue so that we can come back and reexamine whether the agencies are serving their purpose, whether they are funding appropriate projects, so that there is some role of legislative oversight as they issue the bonds. 37 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 By putting a limit on the bonds, after they get to that limit, they have to come back to us for further authority, and that gives us a full-fledged opportunity for legislative oversight. Now, with Ms. Younge's Bill which she proposes, the East St. Louis Development Authority, there is absolutely no limit on the amount of bonds this agency can issue. I just believe there should be some limit, and so I have arbitrarily chosen the figure of one trillion dollars. I do not believe that this agency should come back... should be able to issue more than one trillion dollars in bonds for the development of East St. Louis without us having some legislative oversight to see what they're doing there. I think one trillion, nobody can object to the fact that at one trillion, at least, there should be a limit. If somebody wanted to propose some other limit, I would certainly join with them in looking at the appropriateness of that limit. But when the Lady says 'no limit', I say there should be a limit of at least one trillion, and I would ask for a favorable Roll Call on Amendment #6, which imposes a one trillion dollar limit on the liabilities this agency can issue."

So this Amendment would force this authority to come back to the General Assembly in the year 4985 to increase their bonding authority, roughly?"
"Turn Mr. Vinson on, please."
"Mr. Mcpike, I think you're familiar enough with what 38 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th. GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 goes on in that area. I understand that they could spend more than a million dollars a day or probably more than a million dollars an hour if they really set their minds to it. So, I think that you are... you're probably stretching the dates that they would have to come back, even within a trillion dollar limit."
"So at a million dollars an hour, they would certainly have to come back by the year 2185?"
"Yes. And at least by then, we should have some right to utilize legislative oversight of this agency. Don't you believe?" McPike: :I don't know. I think this is unreasonable."
"The Gentleman from Winnebago, Mr. Giorgi."
"Mr. Speaker, in this moment of 'levitous (sic - levity), I'd like to spread some good cheer. Tonight the Illinois Arts Council of Coalition is hosting a cocktail party for the General Assembly at the Sangamon Club at 6:00. You're all invited to participate in the Arts and discuss this further."
"The Lady from St. Clair, Ms. Younge, on the Amendment."
"Yes, I'm opposed to this Amendment because it mocks the effort of the Sponsor to pass a Bill to bring about redevelopment in my severely depressed area. And I think it is a front to this whole chamber. And I think that we ought to resoundingly say to Representative Vinson that this is not a game - we're not playing - that we're dealing with the lives of people, and that we wish to get on with our serious business and I ask you to resoundingly defeat this Resolution... or this Amendment."
"Further discussion? There being none, the Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Huff."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm against this Amendment for 39 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 22nd Legislative Day April 10, 1985 the reasons already outlined by the previous speaker. It's... It implies a certain amount of irresponsibleness on the part of the Sponsor with regards to... And I think this is not worthy of the Representative, Mr. Vinson, and I would suggest that he withdraw this Amendment."
"Having no further discussion, Mr. Vinson, to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen. I am somewhat distraught about the Sponsor believing that this is an effort to mock her. It is not an effort to mock her or to mock her program for developing East St. Louis. It is just an effort to demonstrate that there are flaws in this Bill. And I believe that this Amendment will correct one of those flaws by putting an upward cap on the amount of bonds that this agency can issue. I would ask for a favorable Roll Call."
"Question is, Shall Amendment #6 to House Bill 49 be adopted?" All in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'nos' have it, and the Amendment fails. Further Amendments?"
"No further Amendments."
