Illinois House Floor Debate — June 27, 1985

"The House will be in order. The Members will be in their chairs. The Chaplain for today will be the Reverend Michael Pfleger, Pastor, St. Sabina Catholic Church of Chicago. Father Pfleger is the guest of Representative Howard Brookins. Will the guests in the gallery please rise for the invocation?"

"Let us pray. O Mighty God, Creator of all life whose choice it was to wake us up this morning and give us another day, help us to live this day in Your service. We ask You to send Your blessing on each of us whose heads are bowed before You this morning, that we may never forget that it is through Your blessing we have been given the opportunity to serve, to make decisions and to choose directions, to make our state and our world not only a better place to live, but a livable place for every man, woman and child. Guide us, Father, with Your wisdom and allow us to be Your instruments. Help us to create a state that is just and caring. Help us to create a state where quality hospital care for the poor may one day soon become a reality. Help us create a state that is committed to effective equal and quality public education where every child is given the opportunity to a future. And finally, Lord, help us, indeed, to build an Illinois, but build one as a governing Body in this room that is rooted in faith, in touch with our conscience, sensitive to the poor and the oppressed and who live and act always from our hearts as well as our minds, that all we do may enhance the quality of life for each and every person and bring us a little closer to the reality of Your kingdom. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."

Speaker Braun: "Be led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Representative Ropp."  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

"Roll Call for Attendance. Excused absences. 118 answering the Roll, there... a quorum is present. Representative Bowman for an announcement and an introduction."

"If I could have the attention of the Body, I'd like to introduce four students from the Fourth Legislative District, Representative District, excuse me. These young people have been chosen as the Outstanding Youth of 1985 by the Evanston Rotary Club and I would like to introduce them to you. We have Ms. Lisa English. Mr. Henry 'Camerly'. Ms. Heather Sampson. And Mr. David 'Tesca'. I have given them copies of a House Joint Resolution which we adopted recognizing their... this honor and indicating their... their achievements for which they were recognized. I will simply say to you that all of these young people have made significant contributions to their community and... and that is... this Evanston Rotary Club did a city-wide search and got dozens of nominees and these four young people were selected from the dozens of nominees made by teachers and adults from all over the City of Evanston. So we are honored that you all can be with us today. Welcome to Springfield."

"On page 2 of the Calendar on the Order of Senate Bills Third Reading appears Senate Bill 1, Representative Breslin. She's not here. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."

"Senate Bill #1, a Bill for an Act making appropriations to the Board of Regents. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the 2  63rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATF June 27, 1985 House. This is the companion appropriation for the funding of the new engineering school at the... at Northern Illinois University. It is an issue that has been debated many times already on the floor of the House. I would be happy to answer any questions."

"The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Hinnebago, Representative Hallock."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker, Members of the House. I rise in support of this appropriation measure. As Representative Breslin has stated, it's a very important issue for northern Illinois and I think for the future vitality of our whole state and I urge your support."

"Is there further discussion? The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Leverenz."

"Could you simply explain the appropriation Bill again?"

"Yes, yes. The appropriation is to fund the new engineering school at Northern Illinois University."

"Thank you."

"It's the same as the Bill that has already passed the House."

"That... Are we doing it... We are doing it twice?"

"It's... It's just the crossover."

"Til we get it right?"

"Right."

"Is there further discussion? The Chair recognizes the Lady from Marshall, Representative Koehler."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. As Representative Breslin said, this Bill has been debated previously and I will not go into great detail on it, but I do rise in opposition because we do not need, in Illinois, an additional engineering school. We already 3  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 have seven in the state and we have a declining enrollment with regard to those going into the engineering field. We do not need to embark upon a new... building a new engineering school and I oppose the measure."

"The Chair recognizes the Lady from Champaign, Representative Satterthwaite."

"Will the Sponsor yield for a question?"

"She indicates she will."

"Representative, isn't it true that these same funds are already in the system's budget also? Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the General Assembly, it makes little difference, then, what we really do with a vote on this Bill because the funds are already a part of the system's budget in another Bill and so, I think that the passage or failure of this Bill is not really going to affect the outcome of funding for the new program."

"The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Lake, Representative Peterson."

"Madam Speaker, I move the previous question."

"Previous question has been moved. The question is, 'Shall the previous question be put?' All in favor say 'aye', opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. The previous question is put. Representative Breslin, to close."

"Once again, Ladies and Gentlemen, we are voting on an appropriation for $1,057,000 to the Board of Regents to begin implementation of the engineering school at Northern Illinois University. I'd appreciate a favorable Roll Call."

"Lady has moved the passage of Senate Bill 1. All in favor vote 'aye', opposed vote 'no'. Voting is open. The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Piel, to explain his vote." 4  STATE OF ILLINOIS 34th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1995 63rd Legislative Day

"Wasn't to explain my vote, but I was wondering if we were talking about one or two engineering schools. She could probably hold up one or two fingers, but she was talking about Northern Illinois and according to our synopsis, it also says another one for Chicago State University besides Northern Illinois."

Speaker Giorgi:

Speaker Braun: "Chair recognizes Gentleman from Winnebago, Representative Giorgi, to explain his vote." "Hadam Speaker, I... I'd like... You know, I don't want to take too much time of the House, but our record in Illinois for training engineers, for seats for engineers, for keeping engineers after they have been educated is very abysmal and this Bill is going to make the engineering opportunities more available to Rockford students and I really appreciate your support."

"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this Bill there are 94 voting 'aye', 16 voting 'no'. Senate Bill 1, having received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Senate Bill 160, Representative Breslin. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."

"Senate Bill 160, a Bill for an Act making appropriation to the Department of Transportation. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Lady from LaSalle, Representative Breslin."

"Thank you, Hadam Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, this Bill appropriates $2,000,000 from the Transportation Series A Bond Fund to the Department of Transportation for the completion of the reconstruction of Route 51 between Rockford and Decatur. As you will well remember, the Governor proposed in his State of the State... State of the State Address that the state should make a special effort to finish off Route 51 regardless of 5  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 federal funding. This Bill is a mechanism to do that. It is offered under the assumption that his... his proposal will pass. This, however, is a backup proposal. Should the 'Build Illinois' funds not be included there, this would be a backup to the Governor's proposal. As you know, I live in this area. The building of Route 51 has been going on for my entire lifetime. I think it's time we complete it."

"Lady has moved the passage of Senate Bill 160, and on that, is there any discussion? The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Piel."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Will the Lady yield, please?"

"She indicates she will."

"I'm not sure if my hearing is off this morning or what, but how much was the figure. I thought you said $2,000,000 and the figure I've got is..."

"Two... It's two... $200,000,000."

"Two hundred million?"

"Yes."

"Now, that's all new money out of the road fund presently, correct?"

"No, it's out of the Series A Bond Fund."

"But so it's... But it's out of the Transportation Fund, correct?"

"The... There is no Transportation Fund."

"No, the reason I was asking, you know, they have tried killing the 'Build Illinois' Program over in the Senate and if that is not killed, this is money that... going to be taken from projects all over the state to fund one single project, correct?"

"Representative, I intend to support the 'Build Illinois' proposal for the completion of this project. This is merely a backup should that proposal not... fail to 6  STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day reach the Governor's desk, and..." June 27, 1985

"Well, that's what I'm trying to get at, Peg, is if that... if 'Build Illinois' does fail, we are sitting here and we are talking about $200,000,000 that are taken out of the entire road fund and I think, you know, that's... you know it's quite... you know, usually with a road project, instead of going with the whole thing, you know, they will go with one section or another section, but..."

"It would be done over a... in a section by section piece. This is just the authorization to use bond monies to do so."

"No further questions, Madam Speaker."

"The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Macon, Representative Dunn. Representative Dunn."

"Will the Sponsor yield for a question?"

"She indicates she will."

"If this Bill becomes law, are these bonds earmarked for any particular stretch of the Route 51 highway from Rockford all the way south to Decatur... either by way of the legislation itself, or intention of the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor?"

"It's my impression it... that it is for the stretch between Rockford and Decatur. No particular stretch there, but for the total completion. That's how much it will cost, between Rockford and Decatur."

"What is the cost of the section from Bloomington north to Streator?"

"I don't know."

"Do you have anybody there with you who does?"

"I have a staff person, but he doesn't know either. That's an important area to me too though, Representative."

"Yeah, thank you very much."

"Is there further discussion? The Chair 7  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 recognizes the Gentleman from Will, Representative Jack Davis."

"Madam Speaker, may I make an inquiry of the Chair? Since this is a bonding authorization, it is my assumption it will require an Extraordinary Hajority. Is that correct?"

"He have το examine the Bill. One second, Representative Davis. In the meantime, the Chair recognizes... We'll respond to your question. I just thought it made sense to go to the other questioners. The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from DuPage, Representative McCracken."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"She indicates she will."

"I confess to you I don't know if it's still in, now that the Senate has had its way, but was this originally an Amendment for funding in the 'Build Illinois' program?"

"NO, it was not an Amendment. It was a part of the original 'Build Illinois' proposal."

"Oh, that's right. It was a part of the Governor's speech, to build 51."

"Yes, yes, yes. That's what I indicated."

"So the Governor is publicly committed to building 51 Breslin: with state appropriated money?"

"That's correct." be... "And this is not state appropriated money. This would money from the proceeds of a bond issuance?"

"It's... It's state a... a bond... Series A bond monies. So, it's an alternative mechanism for funding should the Governor wish to accept it."

"And they use the term 'pay as you go' in reference to the Senate Amendments. Do you know what that refers to? Is this a pay as you go program?"

"I don't believe so." 8  STATE OF ILLINOIS 34th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985

"And what do we... what do we mean by that?"

"That... That's not my proposal, Representative."

"No, I understand, but do you know what... what the difference between a pay as you go program is and this program is?"

"They have nothing to do with each other."

"Okay. Have you had occasion to determine whether or not the Department of Transportation is in favor of this proposal?"

"I have spoken with the... Secretary 'Bays'. He has indicated that he much prefers the 'Build Illinois' program, and I have indicated that this is offered only as an alternative."

"Okay. And do you know whether or not the Governor is in favor of it or opposed to it?"

"I think that the Governor prefers his own program and I... I can't blame him. This is just proposed as an alternative."

"Is... Is there further discussion?"

"Yes, there is."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Now, as you know, the Department of Transportation works on five year programs where they allocate funds over a five year period which are disbursed throughout the state. Would this take away, to the extent of $200,000,000 the Department's authority to do that?"

"If they decided to do it all at one time, it would. They would have the authority to do it, but this gives them discretion."

"Okay. To the Bill, Madam Speaker. What we are talking about is a $200,000,000 alternative, an alternative to a commitment which the Governor has publicly made and which was not an Amendment to the 'Build Illinois' Bill, 9  STATE OF ILLINOIS 34th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 but which, in fact, was an original constituent part of that Bill. I understand the desire to get 51 built. I understand that it's been a priority of this and other Legislators for many years. We are all desirous of seeing it built, but this $200,000,000 allocation in this manner does a number of things. First, of course, it raises the bond issuance which would otherwise be engaged in. Second, it... it does, in fact, hamper the Department of Transportation in its ability to allocate over its five year programs on a statewide basis. This locks them into the $200,000,000 for the five year... or for the U. S. 51 program and is the... would create the only exception to that rule on a statewide basis. Now, we have all had our problems dealing with the Department of Transportation, but the fact of the matter is, the Department deals on a statewide basis, allocates over a five year period and we appropriate on that basis. This creates a new and dangerous precedent to that rule and I would ask you to defeat it for that reason."

"Is there further discussion? The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Leverenz."

"Simply to the Bill. I don't believe it does all of the things the Gentleman previous said. You have to show all of the project in a single Bill in the first year. It came out of Committee. It passed the Senate. I would encourage your green vote and get it over with. Pass it."

"The Chair has a response to Representative Davis' Parliamentary inquiry regarding the number of votes required for this Bill. The Parliamentarian advises that insofar as this is an appropriation of funds and not a bond authorization, 60 votes, Constitutional Majority, is required for passage. Representative Davis." 10  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day

"Well, Madam June 27, 1985 Speaker, maybe I didn't understand Sponsor who said it was a bond authorization for Series transportation funds, is that correct?" the A

"Representative Davis, the Parliamentarian reviewed the legislation, has interpreted that legislation as bond... as a bond appropriation, an appropriation from bonded funds as opposed to an authorization for bonds. Therefore, 60 votes, Constitutional Majority, would be required."

"Are we suggesting then, Madam Speaker, that the bonds have already been authorized, the Series A transportation bonds have already been authorized and this is appropriating... maybe I should ask the Sponsor that question."

"That... The Lady indicates she will yield."

"Representative Breslin..."

"Yes, Representative, the bonds have already been authorized. This... this appropriates money from that bond authorization."

"Well, then to the Bill, Madam Speaker. Representative McCracken was absolutely correct. I don't think there should be... that this Bill should pass for a variety of reasons. Number one, and I think all the downstaters who don't have 51 in their district ought to understand that this particular measure and this side of the aisle don't think there ought to be a Republican vote on this particular measure because some of those people who support 51, including the Governor and me and the Republican Leadership in 'Build Illinois' because it needs doing, it's been need needed done for a long time, but some of the people that surround that issue in that particular corridor have signed on to a program that will cut it out and are looking for this for a backup to take your Series A transportation 11  63rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1985 bonds in other downstate districts and your road projects over the next five years away from you. If you commit $200,000,000 of Series A bonds... authorization or appropriation rather, to this project, you take those Members off of the hook on 'Build Illinois' where we are committed to do 51 and then you put them in a position, by passing this Bill, of reallocating your highway dollars, your road projects in the five year multi-year road program, your road projects and your bridges away from you and committing them to 51 when 'Build Illinois' is the way to do it. We all know it. The Governor is committed to it. The General Assembly should be committed to it and you are taking everybody off the hook and you are losing your own road projects if you do this. This is definitely a 'no' vote for every downstate Democrat and every Republican."

"Is there further discussion? The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Bureau, Representative Mautino."

"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. As a downstater who does not have Route 51 in his Legislative District, I stand in support of this appropriation for... under Senate Bill 160. First and foremost, since it is the... one of... it is the number one priority of the Governor of this state, I think that it is a necessary appropriation to allow the Governor to make good on his priority system. We are helping the administration out in this regard because the bridge over the Illinois River has... is now in the process of being built. The first leg between the Illinois River and Winnebago County is under completion now and I think that the only way that we could ever embark upon a north-south freeway in this state is the continuation and completion of that road between the Illinois River and 12  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 Decatur, Illinois. This $200,000,000 appropriation will do just that. It makes Illinois the hub of the nation. The Governor will have the opportunity to stand up and be counted on his priority list and this takes it out of the realm of the previous speaker's position that downstaters should not be supporting it. I think downstaters should be supporting it because this is the only real thing you are going to be voting on. Everything else is going to be in a Conference Committee. So, I recommend most highly that you at least get your 'aye' vote on 160 so that that road can be completed. And I stand in support."

"The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Peoria, Representative Saltsman."

"Madam Speaker, move the previous question, please."

"Gentleman has moved the previous question. The question is, 'Shall the previous question be put?' All in favor say 'aye', opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. The previous question is put. The Lady from LaSalle, to close."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, if we are going to build Illinois, we are going to have to have a decent infrastructure. We are going to have to have a decent transportation system. We have one major transportation system that has a hole in the middle, if you want to say, from Canada to the Gulf of Hexico, there is one stretch between Rockford and Decatur that remains uncompleted. The Governor said, 'Let's build 51. Let's build it now. Let's build it whether we have state... whether we have federal funds or not.' This is a mechanism for funding it. Should the Department of Transportation not be able to use this money all at one time, and I don't expect that they can, there is authorization for reappropriation from year to year, but it at least provides them with the money they 13  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 need. They know they can budget it over a five or an eight year period and get the job done now like the Governor wants. I request 'aye' votes."

"The Lady has moved the passage of Senate Bill 160. All in favor vote 'aye', opposed vote 'no'. The voting is open. The Chair recognizes the Gentlemen from McLean, Representative Ropp, to explain his vote."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Someone said that during the time that Governor Stratton was Governor, he wanted to build a road from Chicago to St. Louis which was called 66. They did it in less than four years. Route 51 has been talked about for more than 20. It seems to me that it's long overdue and this Bill ought to pass so that we can get 51 built quickly. My concern is that this really probably will not speed up the process and for that I am sorry, but I am going to vote 'yes'."

"Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Bowman, to explain his vote."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise in support of the Lady's Motion, and I would like to refresh the memories of my Republican colleagues. This is the way we normally fund transportation projects. We normally use Series A transportation bond fund monies and/or federal monies in combination. Now, what I would like to particularly remind them of is that the Governor, in his 'Build Illinois' program, was talking about financing Route 51 with new taxes, new taxes, Ladies and Gentlemen, that haven't passed the General Assembly. Now, if you vote 'no' on this proposal, you are begging for a vote for a tax increase. You want to vote for a tax increase. You must vote for a tax increase to get Highway 51 if you don't vote for this proposal because this is the only other game in town. If you want 51, you better vote for this." 14  63rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1985

"The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Adams, Representative Mays, to explain his vote."

"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. To explain my vote, I had my speech light on in debate. I... We all got a five year road program on our desk about a month ago and a large portion of that, as I understand it, was premised on these Series A bonds funds. I would suggest that taking a $200,000,000 lump out of that, what... regardless of your district, there is going to be other road projects even if you are along the 51 corridor that will go by the wayside in this obligation measure. It's my understanding that all the Series A bonds have been obligated and for that reason, I would vote 'no' on this Bill."

"Gentleman has moved the passage of Senate Bill 356. On that question, is there any discussion? The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Bowman."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in support of this Bill. In addition, I just want to point out that we are about to consider a number of higher education appropriation Bills for the OCE expenses of various systems. This is the first in the series. There have been no House Amendments added to these Bills in Committee or on the floor, and therefore these Bills will go directly to the Governor. In Committee, it was made clear, and I think all parties understood, that if there are no additional taxes for education reform and the 22  STATE OF ILLINOIS 34th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 like that when time comes to negotiate the budget, everything will be on the table and it may be necessary to modify this legislation through the Governor's amendatory veto, but we have agreed that we will make recommendations to the Governor along those lines. That is... meets with the approval of the various system heads and the Board of Higher Education. So, with that understanding, I'm pleased to rise in support of this legislation."

"Is there further discussion? The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Keane (sic - Kendall), Representative Hastert."

"Thank you, Madam Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I want to reiterate what the previous speaker just said. All these appropriations, especially the higher ed appropriations, are without Amendment. There is also an agreement that unless we cut some of the spending that we have spent this year in appropriations or raise taxes, these appropriations can't go through the way they have been appropriated. I want to have you just listen up for a minute so I can repeat what I said. We have spent more money in appropriations than the State of Illinois will take in next year. That means we either raise taxes or we cut some of the funding of the Bills that have already come out of Committee. That ought to set the tone for what we are doing here today. I support this Bill and support the whole line of higher ed Bills as they came out of Committee unamended."

"It's...as I understand, it's from General Fund. Yeah, General Fund."

"General Revenue Fund?"

"Yes, it is."

"Now, is that supported by the state sales tax and income tax?"

"Yes, it is to a certain extent."

"Is that the same fund that we pay for education from?"

"It is and also it's... it's also supported by the tax on parimutuel betting too."

"To the Bill, Madam Speaker. I rise in opposition to this appropriation. I rise in opposition to the appropriation for three reasons. Number one, every cent we take out of the General Revenue Fund for some other purpose is a dollar or a cent that we deny to education. Now, every farmer that I have talked to, in the course of discussing what the state ought to be doing, says the state ought to live up to its obligation to fund education so that we can provide some property tax relief. This Bill, to the extent that it funds this purpose, denies money for education and as a result raises property taxes. Number two, what this Bill does is to create a program for farmers that was originally designed to facilitate and to help poor people. Now, what happened when we found that program... when we observed the operation of that program for poor people, it ended up not helping poor people. It ended up helping lawyers, employing lawyers for the purpose of lobbying for the purpose of social action, not for the purpose of helping poor people and this program won't help farmers any more than that program helped poor people. All this program is going to do is employ a bunch of expensive lawyers for the purpose of lobbying on legislation down 33  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 here. It's a bad idea. Now, Mr. Speaker, the... the third thing that this Bill does that's bad is that this Bill tries to turn farmers into an underclass. It tries to play on the difficult economic times that farmers are having and to try to turn them into a revolutionary force, an underclass, rather than to deal with their economic problems. This is the kind of thing Caesar Chavez might support. It's the kind of thing that Jesse Jackson might support, but it isn't the kind of thing that any self-respecting farmer with dignity would support. Farmers are rugged individualists and they don't like welfare programs. As a matter of fact, the biggest problem farmers in this state have right now is that we are throwing money down a welfare drain rather than putting it into education and properly funding education. That's what's wrong with the farm economy in this state. That's what's wrong with the budget of this state. All you are doing is making common cause with a bunch of Jesse Jacksons and Caesar Chavezes and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. I urge a 'no' vote."

"Is there further discussion? The Gentleman from Macon, Representative Dunn."

"Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I think the previous speaker has his figures a little bit backwards and perhaps he's confused because to do what he suggests, to fully fund education would probably cost about $400,000,000. This is a $400,000 appropriation. Let's get on with it and pass this Bill."

"Is there further discussion? The Gentleman from McLean, Representative Ropp."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This is a Bill that actually will assist those farmers who will be going out of business tragically 40  63rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ΤΡΑΝSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1985 a enough. This money really, if it is to be approved, ought to be redirected and spent in the area of merchandising or selling agricultural products in this country and overseas SO that those farmers who are in a position to continue to farm will be able to do that. It's a tragedy today that we are attempting to spend money on a program for a person that won't be in farming next year. I think this Bill ought to be defeated and the same amount of money ought to go into programs to expand international trade so that the costs of corn and soybean will be increased so that those farmers that are still operating will be able to farm for another year and another year. Thank you."

"Is there further discussion? Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Dupage, Representative McCracken."

"Well, for all the reasons the authorization Bill was bad, the appropriation Bill vas bad. These legal service... the experience the Federal Government has had with this legal service corporation has been disastrous. They have turned into political zealots paid by the taxpayer to attack the taxpayer. There is no reason to think this is going to turn out any differently and the authorization Bill was bad and the appropriation Bill is worse. And I think we should vote 'no'."

"The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Jersey, Representative Richmond, to close."

"Thank you, Nadam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. The Assistant Majority Leader... or Minority Leader listed some people who would support this type of Bill. He left out the Attorney General of the State of Illinois who supports it and wants this Bill very badly. He left out the National Association of Attorney Generals throughout this nation who, in March, passed a Resolution urging all of our states to take action of this type and so 41  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 I ask for your favorable action on this Bill."

"The Gentleman has moved the passage of Senate Bill 1410 (sic - 1411). On that, is there any discussion? The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from DeWitt, Representative Vinson."

"Yes, Madam Speaker, inquiry of the Parliamentarian or the Chair, whichever you prefer."

"Proceed."

"My understanding is that the title of this Bill in no way reflects what's in the Bill, and I would ask if it would be possible under any circumstances for the presiding officer to certify such a Bill because the whole Bill is in an improper form."

"Parliamentarian will review the Bill. Representative Vinson, we are reviewing the Bill and I think you... it would be better if you were to restate your question again."

"Well, Madam Speaker, I believe if you'll look at the 45  STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 Bill and if you look at the title of the Bill, the two things are totally unrelated. And I think that the problem is that you might have very difficult time certifying the Bill. And I just wonder if you might not want to take the thing back to Second Reading and clean up the title."

"Representative Young. Representative Young... Turner: Turner." "Madam Chair, can we have leave to amend the Bill on its face?"

"It may not be necessary, Representative. Just hold your thought."

"Okay. We'll wait for the Parliamentarian's rule."

"The Parliamentarian has ruled that the Bill does not violate the single subject rule of the constitution and it deals... and as amended, is a Bill having to do with appropriations and; therefore, is in proper form for passage. Yes, Representative Vinson."

"Well, Madam Speaker, I want to explicitly state for the record what the problems with the Bill are in terms of procedure. The title of the Bill is an Act to appropriate $5,000,000 to the Department of Central Management Services for minority business bonding. In fact, the Bill does... appropriates only $100,000 to the Small Business Bonding Assistance Board. It appropriates it to a totally different agency than the title says it does and it appropriates a different amount. Now, you're going to rule that that is in order?"

"Mr. Vinson, I have reiterated the ruling of the Parliamentarian, which was your question as a parliamentary inquiry. If you are addressing the Bill, that's one thing, but I'm... In regards to your parliamentary inquiry, it has been responded to."

"Don't you think you've got a conflict of interest in 46  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day making that kind of a ruling when you are the Sponsor of the Bill?"

"The Parliamentarian has made the ruling, Mr. Vinson. I've only reiterated it to you."

"Well, Madam Speaker, how... when did we get to the point when people that we employ determine what we do? I mean, at what point in this process did we get to that point?"

"Representative Vinson, are you addressing the Bill?"

"No, I'm asking you a question, a parliamentary question. I mean, how in the world have we gotten to the point where people we hire..."

"No, Sir, you made a parliamentary inquiry of the Parliamentarian. On behalf of the Parliamentarian, I've responded to your inquiry and answered it as he has answered it."

"Almost, Madam Speaker, almost every other time the words 'on behalf' have been used, it's been the Parliamentarian addressing the House and saying, 'On behalf of the Speaker, I'm making the ruling.' Now, you're saying it Speaker, that on behalf of the Parliamentarian, you're making a ruling?"

"Representative Matijevich."

"Madam Speaker, I made the point of order. You have made a ruling and his... he can only now appeal that ruling. All of what he is saying now is out of order. I might... I thought you might lift your Parliamentarian so you can show him who he is. Why don't you lift him up so Sam can show... that. But you've made your ruling."

"Representative Breslin in the Chair."

"Representative Vinson, for what reason do you rise?"

All that Bill does... the only thing in that Bill is an appropriation of $100,000, not $5,000,000, $100,000 to a different agency. Can you certify that Bill?

Taking leave from the Gentleman on the other side, Representative Vinson, I'm going to pull out my book on rules and take another look at this decision of his and because I think that we, as Legislators, should run this Assembly.

It provides for the grants to the Illinois Humanities Council, $500,000 in addition to the Forestry Development Commission of 35,000. The operating budget of the Department... This Amendment is the OCE, the grant program, the provisions in the Department of Conservation that got kind of hung up in the House Bill.

Representative Vinson, the Chair rules that your Motion is not timely, since further Amendments may change that... change the final decision on whether That has been a not the title has been amended. previous ruling of this Chair. Representative Vinson, for what reason do you rise?" I "Well, Madam Speaker, back when we had House Bills in the House, I had a House Bill in the House onto which I amended lights for Wrigley Field; and, at the time I did that, Representative Cullerton stood and asked, had put Amendment #2 on that Bill that, Representative Cullerton stood and asked that that Bill be returned to Second Reading, First Legislative Day. I stood and made the point that Amendment #3 was pending on that Bill and that to do on Amendment #3, the title was changed back to its original form and that you had to hear Amendment #3 before you could make a ruling on that. And at that time, the Chair ruled against me and for Mr. Cullerton. The Chair ruled that his Motion was timely. Now today, when the same situation is there and I'm making the point of order, you're ruling against me and for the other side. Don't you think that's a little bit arbitrary?"

"Representative Vinson, earlier this week, the same question arose and the Chair articulated the orderly and appropriate reading of the rules so that we can conduct our business here, and this ruling is perfectly consistent with that ruling. Representative Vinson, for what reason do you rise?"

"Yes, Madam Speaker, it is perfectly consistent with that ruling, but it's because that ruling was raised on that 50  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 side. But it's not consistent with the rulings we get on this side. Now, why can't we have rulings that apply the same to both Democrats and Republicans? Would you answer me that question?"

"Representative, the Chair tries very hard to be evenhanded and... in the interpretation of the rules of this House as I'm sure you will agree. Representative McCracken, for what reason do you rise?"

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. To the issue. Just a couple days ago, we had this same situation where an Amendment changed a title., I moved, at that time, to return the Bill to the Order of Second Reading, First Legislative Day. You ruled that that Motion was timely and in order and granted it and; thereby, refusing to acknowledge or to consider further Amendments to that Bill - the precise situation. Now, a second Bill arose that same day and you raised the issue of whether it was not more convenient to consider this issue after all Amendments had been adopted and if a title change had occurred in any of them, that you would grant the Motion for the convenience of the parties at that time. Now, I stand to make my point clearly. You ruled, at that time, that it was timely to make the Motion and that it was effective relative to the Bill, and that was just two days ago and that was a ruling made relative to my Motion which you granted."

"Representative, there was no ruling made at that time that is my recollection. We have... The Chair has ruled that this Motion is not timely at this time. You are certainly free to make the same Motion at a later time when it is timely..."

"Well, if..."

"...When we have finished and are ready to 51  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 advance the Bill from the Order of Second Reading to Third Reading. Representative Vinson, for what reason do you rise?"

"Madam Speaker, I know that in your mind and in your heart of hearts you think that you want to be evenhanded. I concede you that. In order to determine whether or not the Chair is being operated in an evenhanded manuer, would you be willing to let us get a dub of a tape of the proceedings on the Bill I referred to, the Wrigley Field Bill, and play that to the chamber and then play the... what... the tape of how you just ruled on this matter to the chamber and let the chamber decide if you're being evenhanded? Would you be willing to do that?"

"Representative Vinson, you are always able to get a copy of that tape. It is not in order that it be played for this Assembly, but you can certainly take it to everyone's office and play it if you would like just like Representative Koehler took her movies to the office and played them. The Gentleman from DuPage, Representative McCracken, for what reason do you rise?"

"Madam Speaker, if the implication of the Chair's ruling this morning is that if later Amendments change the title back to that of the original Bill thereby making this Motion out of order, then, in fact, in effect, you will have obviated the rule which allows us to change back to Second Day... or Second Reading, First Legislative Day on demand. All an Amendment..."

"Representative..."

"Well, then, let me ask you. Parliamentary inquiry. Is your holding going to be at the close of all Amendments if, in fact, adopted Amendments change the title back to the original title? Is it going to be that the Motion is out of order because of that reason or are you just asking 52  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 us to wait until all the Amendments are adopted and if any of them changes the title at any time, then our Motion will be in order? What is the scope of the ruling?"

"Your Motion will only be in order at such time as the Bill, when it is ready to advance from Second to Third, has had an Amendment placed on it, which... and adopted and it is in final effect, which changes the title of the Act. The rule is clear that the Notion is in order when it is time to advance the Bill... 'advance the Bill' is what the rule says, and we're not here advancing the Bill. On that question, Representative Vinson."

"Madam Speaker, I don't want to slow down the operations of the House any further on this point. I'd just like to, in closing on this point because I know that you're going to rule against us, I'd like to ask you to do one thing for me, if you would. I'd like to ask you to appear in a press conference in the press room and let me play the dubs of both things so you can explain to the press after they hear the dubs of both rulings exactly how they were evenhanded. Would you do that with me?"

"I'd love to appear in public with you, Representative Vinson." Vinson "Hould you do it?"

"Representative Mautino, are you on Amendment #32"

"Yes, and I stand in support of your position since we didn't change it, we added to it. Amendment #3 to Senate Bill 132 adds the sum of 1.2 million dollars to the Development Pinance Authority for its ordinary and contingent expenses, and I move for the adoption."

"The Gentleman has moved for the adoption of Amendment #3 to Senate Bill 132. And on that question, is there any discussion?

All those in favor say 'aye', all those opposed say 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. The Amendment is adopted. Are there any further Amendments?"

"Floor Amendment #4, offered by Representative Mautino."

"Excuse me. Representative McCracken, for what reason do you rise?"

"Just for purposes of preserving the record. The addition of that Amendment changes the title within the meaning of the rule and we renew our Motion for purposes of the record."

"Representative Mautino, on Amendment #4."

"Amendment #4 is a cleanup Amendment for four additional projects within the Department of Conservation. I move for adoption."

"The Gentleman has moved for the adoption of Amendment #4 to Senate Bill 132. And on that question, is there any discussion? Hearing none, the question is, 'Shall Amendment #4 be adopted?'

"I now move... I now move to suspend the appropriate 54  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 rule so that this legislation can be heard at this time."

"The Gentleman moves... Representative Mautino has made a substitute Motion that Rule 36 (d) be suspended and that the Bill be advanced to Third Reading and be heard immediately. On that Motion, is there any discussion? The Gentleman from DuPage, Representative McCracken."

"Initially point of order. It's not a Motion pending, it's a demand. I think a substitute Motion is not applicable under those circumstances. May I have a ruling?"

"Representative McCracken, your point is well taken. However, the Gentleman is within his rights to suspend Rule 36 (d) and advance this Bill to the Order of Third Reading for an immediate hearing on the Bill. In which case, if that Motion carries, your demand is not appropriate. Again, for immediate consideration, of course, it will require 71 votes. However, to suspend Rule 36 (d), it only requires 60 votes. So, there will have to be two votes taken on the question. Okay? The first question is, 'Shall we... 'Shall this House suspend Rule 36 (d) so that this Bill can be advanced to the Order of Third Reading?' All those in favor vote 'aye', all those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is open. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this question there are 60... there are 70 voting 'aye', 44 voting 'no', and none voting 'present'. Representative Mautino now asks leave for immediate... Okay, the Bill moves to Third Reading, Mr. Clerk. And now on Third... Read the Bill, Mr. Clerk, on Third."

The Gentleman from DeWitt, Representative Vinson, one minute to explain your vote."

"Madam Speaker, just to request a verification should this appear to get the requisite number of votes."

"The Gentleman from Bureau, Representative Mautino, one minute to explain your vote."

"I find it very difficult to understand our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. For approximately four weeks, there's been opposition by their party to provide the funding for the Department of Conservation. As a responsible position, I provided the funding of that Department within this legislation. I see no reason to not adopt and pass this departmental budget. If there is an individual who happens to be the Minority Leader of the other side of the aisle that has a problem, he should take that up with the Department. I don't think that the employees, the projects, the programs and the OCE budget of a department should be held hostage, and I don't understand why everyone is voting red. You're going to vote eventually, whether it's a Bill coming back from the Senate or this Bill in the House, and I think it's the responsibility of the Membership of this House to fund government. In that regard, the Department of Conservation deserves to be funded without any games being played. We've taken a responsible position. I ask for 71 votes, or that somebody who is voting red explain to me why they're opposed to funding a department of government under their administration?"

"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this question 56  63rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1985 there are 67 voting 'aye', 50 voting 'no', and none voting 'present', and the Motion fails.

There were many noteworthy achievements during this 50 years. And, of course, many of those were emplified in terms of the Resolution that we passed here a few days ago, and he represents the finest in civic and moral leadership through the years of service. He has been a devoted person erson with much integrity, ability and has provided much tireless service to his fellow man and he continues to do that. And all indications are that this is a world's record because the only one that we know, the only mayor that we know of that have served for any great length of time to that end was 41 years in New York State.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Amendment #5 was an increase in the budget of the Department of Public Aid of $36,250,000, and it was increased for the AFDC grant line. This was not an agreement by either side of the aisle. It was put on in Committee on a partisan vote, and, you know, very, very honestly, that money isn't there. And it's my position and the position of the people on this aisle... on this side of the aisle that we're portraying a sham, at least to those people who are dependent upon that grant, unless we pass a tax increase or cut $30,000,000 out of a budget item someplace else, I would just ask to pass this Motion." 143  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1995

"The Gentleman from Kendall moves to table Amendment #5 to Senate Bill 476. And on that, the Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Bowman,"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I believe that this Motion is inappropriate. It is wrong. It should be defeated. The Committee in its wisdom, deliberated. We heard testimony as to the... the need for these monies, and we, after proper deliberation, put this Amendment on the Bill. Now, let me say it was a... I acknowledge it was a partisan Roll Call. The other side of the aisle, of course, attempts at every opportunity to support the Governor's budget, and that's fine. That's their institutional role around here. But I just want everybody in this House to understand one thing about public aid budgets. The Governor has never once, in nine years, proposed a grant increase for public aid recipients, never once. He often and frequently proposes increases for medical providers, doctors and hospitals and pharmacists and chiropractors and so forth, and that's fine, but never once for actual recipients. Now, in nine years, we have approved six grant increases, and this will be the seventh, if it goes all the way through. And how does that... How does that happen? Well, the Legislature has always initiated the grant increase, and lo and behold, it gets negotiated out, and the Governor always signs it. So I want everyone to understand that this is par for the course, this legislative initiative that emanated from the House Appropriations Committee is par for the course. This is a necessary... part of the negotiating that goes on in the budget process, and I predict, if we are able to defeat this tabling Motion, it will all be negotiated out in the end, and the Governor will sign the Bill with a grant increase in it. I predict that. I urge a defeat of this 144  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day Motion." June 27, 1985

"The Gentleman from Lake, Mr. Matijevich."

"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I couldn't agree more with the last speaker. You know, every once in a while, we have to chase off... lobbyists off the floor of the House, within our rules. The poor people don't have a lobbyist down here. We've got to speak in behalf of the poor people, and I hope that that doesn't become a partisan issue. Now, today when we were led in prayer, I heard the message of the minister that led us in prayer. And he said, 'Let us, in the State of Illinois, provide for the poor.' I think that we, in the Legislature, are here to make life and the quality of life, as the minister also said, better for all people. Quality of life is what we ought to be about. And I think that... Chairman of the Appropriation II Committee, Woody Bowman, is absolutely right, that every grant increase has been at the initiation of the Legislature. The Governor has a 'Build Illinois' program. The 'Build Illinois' program, full of mortar and bricks, and at the same time, are we going to tear at the hearts of people and not provide for the ordinary needs of people? I don't think that we... that's what we're all about. I think that you - all of you understand the needs of ordinary people. I think that this cannot be a partisan matter. I urge the Members of the... of both sides of the aisle to vote against the tabling Motion."

"Mr. Hastert to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies Gentlemen of the House. I have the greatest admiration for the Chairman of the Appropriations II Committee, and the last speaker. I know they're compassionate, and I know they have concerns about their constituents and constituents around this 145  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 country, or this state, but one of the things that we've just done, the previous speaker talked about spending millions of dollars on bricks and mortar. We just passed Bills out of here where we spent, also, additional millions of dollars for concrete and sewers and schools and other things that were bricks and mortars, and I think we're both guilty on both sides of the aisle, of doing that. We have an appropriation before us, an additional appropriation under the public aid budget of thirty some million dollars. All I'm saying, and to focus on here, if you want to come back in a couple of hours or tomorrow or the next day and solve the problems with education in the State of Illinois and put on another 200 million dollars or 300 million dollars, or stick to the appropriated 400 million dollar level that was funded there, if you want to take care of the mentally handicapped and those people who are also in need in the State of Illinois, that's fine. If we want to take care of all those other people in the State of Illinois, farmers and agriculture and the unions and the other people who are workers and all those things that we want to appropriate and have appropriated, all I'm saying, Ladies and Gentlemen, is there's not enough bucks. There's not enough bucks. If you want to add on, if you want to add on 3... 35 or 36 million dollars here, fine, but you're going to have to take it off someplace else, or you're going to have to pass a tax increase. I want you to keep that in mind. You can vote the way you want to on this Motion, but you got to be honest with yourself, and you got to be honest with your constituents."

The reason the Committee had cut the money in the first place was not to reduce the program, but only because the Department hadn't spent the money. I'll support the Gentleman's Motion. I hope it passes. I hope the Governor signs it. But then, if that's the case, we will expect the Department of Veterans Affairs to spend money for this worthwhile program.

I hope not. By making a record, I hope to avoid that. There were two kinds of problems. Number one, there were numerous violations of state law and proper accounting practices that were uncovered by the Auditor General. Since this is a fairly recent report, however, and we have assurances from the Department that they are working on correcting those problems. I look forward to seeing a clean slate next year. But more significantly, we had a number of complaints from our Committee Members that veterans in their districts were not being properly served. And I think that that is a... not only a tragedy, but it's quite unusual. We rarely hear Members of the Committee so unanimous in castigating a Department for failure to serve their constituents. So, I just wanted to put the Department of Veterans Affairs on notice that if those kinds of problems are not dealt with, the budget next year will be in serious trouble, but for the time being and on the... with the assurance from the Department that they will move to correct those problems, I stand in support of the Gentleman's Motion."

"Excuse ше. Excuse me. For what purpose does Representative McMaster... or McCracken rise?"

"Point of Order, Speaker. I believe Amendment #1 is out of order. It refers to amend Senate Bill 168 as amended. There are no Amendments. Senate Bill 168 is currently unamended. I object. It's out of order."

"House will be at ease. Representative HcCracken, the Parliamentarian informs the Chair that the Amendment is in order and the word 'as amendment' is superfluous."

"A wise ruling. A wise ruling, Mr. Speaker, but I think I respectfully dissent from the ruling."

"That's your prerogative. Representative Brookins, on Amendment #1."

"Thank you. This Amendment will appropriate $508,000 to the Board of Governors for State Colleges and Universities to implement the Board of Governor's Human Resource Development Program. And with that, I ask for adoption of this Amendment."

"Gentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 168. On the question, here... Representative McCracken."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Amendment. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"He indicates he will."

"Representative, do you know whether or not this matter has been passed upon or approved by the Board of Higher Ed?"

"No."

"No, you don't know or no, it has not been approved?"

"It has not been. I... It has not been."

"Okay, and is the Governor in favor or opposed to 174  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day this?"

"I think he will be."

"I admire optimism. the Governor's FY '86 budget?"

"No." June 27, 1985

Have the funds been allocated in McCracken: "llas this been a program request made by the FY '86 budget?"

"No."

"Okay, thank you. To the Amendment. I... I understand that this is not a great deal of money we're talking about relative to the entire budget. However, the Board of Governors' Human Resource Development Program is one which I am not personally familiar with. I don't know exactly what it does. I think it is a... some type of board and I don't think it's been adequately justified that half a million dollars should go to a... to a board. We're talking about education. We're talking about Amendments to help Governors' State. This goes to a board or some sort of development program and I... I think it would be better to make this a clean Bill and I respectfully object to it."

"Further discussion? Hearing none, Representative Brookins, to close."

"This is a program that has already started in the Board of Governor's schools. It's at all five of their schools. It's just not enough money for them to implement in the way that it should be implemented. And with that, if it's implemented, it will help small businessmen in the areas of these schools. I now ask for your 'aye' vote in favor of this Amendment."

"Gentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 168. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed. Opinion of the Chair, we'll have a Roll Call. Mr. Clerk. All those in favor signify by 175  63rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1985 voting 'aye', those opposed 'nay'. Voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this Amendment there are 63 voting 'aye', 49 voting 'no', 1 voting 'present', and the Amendment is adopted. Further Amendments?"

"Representative Leverenz, on Amendment #2."

"Withdraw Amendment #2."

"Gentleman withdraws Amendment #2. Further Amendments?"

"Floor Amendment #3, offered by Representative Leverenz."

"Representative Leverenz, on Amendment #3."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Assembly. The Amendment appropriates $1,200,000 from the General Revenue Funds to the Illinois Development Finance Authority for its ordinary and contingent expenses. I move for the adoption of Amendment #3."

"Gentleman moves for adoption of Amendment #3. On the question, Representative from DuPage, Mr. McCracken."

"Point of Order, Mr. Speaker. I understand now that the Bill would purport to amend an Act relative to a July 17, 1984 effective date and now make the Act effective upon its becoming law... or strike that. Effective July 1, '85. If you look to Section 1 of the Bill, Section 1 of the Bill refers to a law approved July 17, 1984. That Bill, or Act, is amended to take effect, according to this Bill, July 1, 1985, and I think on its face it is a nullity because of that fact, and I would ask the Chair to rule it out of order." 176  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985

"Representative McCracken, could you restate your point? The Parliamentarian was..."

"Incognito."

"Bear with me on this one."

"The law which this purports to amend is an Act approved July 17, 1984, pursuant to Section 1 of the Bill. That Act, approved July 1... or 17, 1984 will be amended so that the Act, which is being amended will take effect only on July 1, 1985, so that it is not... by its Amendment, it either amends an Act that does not exist or it deletes the effectiveness of an Act which was at one time in existence, therefore amends something that doesn't exist. Is the Parliamentarian... okay, thank you."

"Point well taken, Mr. McCracken, but... Representative Vinson, do you seek recognition?"

"Not until I hear what comes after the 'but' and I suspect... no, I better not say that. It might be in poor taste."

"Parliamentarian is going to explain it."

"On behalf of the Speaker, the point is not well taken because the words in the... in Section 1, approved July 17, 1984, is merely descriptive and is not part of the title of the Bill and therefore, the Amendment is in order."

"Representative Vinson."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I don't believe the Speaker or the Parliamentarian understood the essence of the objection. An Amendment is out of order if the situation is that if you adopt the Amendment to the Bill, the Bill becomes meaningless or the Bill can't be read. Now, what Mr. McCracken accurately pointed out to you, and which I'm sure you failed to understand because if you had understood it you'd had to rule with him, is that the... we're dealing 177  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 here with a supplemental appropriation Bill. Section 1 of the Bill is a supplemental appropriation, a change in an appropriation Bill that we passed last year. Section 3 of the Bill is the effective date of the Bill, the effective date of this Bill. The effective date of this Bill would be July 1. Now, how in the world can you effect... can you effect an appropriation Bill for this fiscal year, which ends June 30th, if the effective date of the Bill is not before June 30? It's just literally impossible. I don't know how often you folks are going to make weird rulings, but one thing you can't effect is time. Time marches on and no man can stop time. Half of your Bill only effects what happens before June 30th, but your effective date makes the Bill only effective after June 30th. Now, Mr. Speaker, there is no way you can say that that is a meaningful, in order, thoughtful, considered idea. Time defies you in this case. I don't care whether you've got 67 votes over there that say time doesn't matter, but in this case, time defies you and I'd ask you to change your ruling. I think you now understand the issue. I think even the Parliamentarian now understands the issue and I'd like you to change your ruling. Would you do that?"

"Thank you, Mr. Vinson. Your remarks are very well taken and you did a very good job, however, the Amendment is in order. Are there further Amendments? You move to... Any... Representative Leverenz, on Amendment #3. You want to close?"

"Yes, in closing, I appreciate the fine words from the two Gentlemen on the other side of the aisle and regardless of what they say, I move to adopt the Amendment."

"Gentleman moves to... for the adoption of Amendment #3 to Senate Bill 169. On the question, Representative Vinson, you seeking recognition?" 178  63rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1985

"Yes, will the Sponsor yield for a few question?"

"Indicates he will."

"I now understand that you folks are going to operate things in the fashion that defies the concept of time and the Calendar and I'm even willing to acquiesce in watching the humor of that event, Mr. Leverenz. I... I would just like one question for the record. What about all of those valiant assertions that the people who have spoken on behalf of this agency on this floor have made for years? That this agency would never come in for an appropriation for operating expenses. What happened to those valiant assertions? Why are they suddenly changing?"

"Did... Did you want me to answer that?"

"Yeah, yeah."

"Well, keeping with their word, they did not come in. We are appropriating it and it is our idea."

"Do you remember the Speaker standing on this floor saying this will never require an appropriation for operating expenses? The real Speaker or maybe that's just Hr. LaPaille's Chief of Staff."

"Oh, slowly we turned, step by step."

"Yes, I thought so. Well, to the Amendment. I'd oppose it because it defies time and it would be a... it would be the Speaker reneging on a promise or at least the Speaker's Chief of Staff reneging on a promise and I'm sure he wouldn't want to do that."

"Further discussion? Hearing none, the Gentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment #3. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed. Opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. The Amendment is adopted. Further Amendments?"

"Floor Amendment #4, offered by Representative Hicks." 179  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985

"Representative Hicks, on Amendment #4."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker. Amendment #4 makes an appropriation of $5,000,000 for the Illinois Development Finance Authority for use in its direct loan program and I'd ask for its adoption."

"Gentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment #4. Any discussion? Representative McCracken."

"Does the Department Finance Authority currently receive direct appropriations from the... from this Body? How is it currently funded?"

"Yes, in the last six years they have received three direct appropriations similar to this."

"Oh, okay. What has the total prior appropriation history been? Has it ever been as much as this?"

"The total amount was approximately 5.5 million dollars in the three appropriations."

"Okay. Now, in the past, has that been deposited with the Treasurer of the state?"

"I'm advised that we believe that it was always made outside of the format of making it to the Comptroller himself."

"To the Comptroller... or Treasurer?"

"In the State Treasury, right. Right."

"Okay, so this is a... an appropriation Amendment which almost equals all of the prior funding history of this Authority and it is to go to the custody of the Treasurer of the Authority which is a change from the prior practice, is that correct?"

"Yes, Tom. I don't believe it's really a change in the format of which we have done it in the past. It has been made in the past to the Treasurer of the Authority and it's actually for direct loans to small businesses."

"Okay. Does this Authority also have bonding 180  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day Hicks: authority?" "Yes, they do have." June 27, 1985

"And is that bonding authority for the purpose of making loans to small businesses as well?"

"Principally, the bonding authority is for large businesses rather than for small businesses."

"Okay, do you define anywhere or does the Department define anywhere the distinction between small and large businesses?"

"I don't know what that currently is. The Department itself does have regulation by which they set up the bonding authority itself. Those regulations are within the Department. I'm not aware of what those regulations are, but these funds will be leveraged at a three to one ratio with private source money, not just with state money."

"Thank you."

"Further discussion? Representative Hicks, to close."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker. I would simply ask for the adoption of the Amendment for the appropriation."

"Gentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment #4. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'nay'. Opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. The Amendment is adopted. Further Amendments?"

"No further Amendments."

"Third Reading. Representative Vinson."

"Well, I want to wait until the next Motion is made and I'd like to be recognized as soon as somebody asks for leave to hear this on immediate consideration."

"Representative Hicks, do you move to have this Bill heard immediately?"

"It's Representative Leverenz' Bill, please."

"Representative Leverenz, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." 181  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985

"Yes, Representative Hicks and I would ask to have this heard immediately and hopefully no one will be opposing that because they didn't have the courtesy to walk over here and say, 'I gotta do this.'"

"The Gentleman... Gentleman moves to have leave to hear Senate Amendment #168 heard immediately... Senate Bill 168. Any discussion? Representative Vinson, are you seeking recognition?"

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, for purposes of discussion."

"Proceed." Vinson; "I object to that Motion because the way this Bill now stands before us, a substantial part of what is appropriated in the Bill would have to be expended before June 30th, but the effective date in the Bill doesn't occur before June 30th so it couldn't be done. We have here a nullity. The Parliamentarian has made a bad ruling on behalf of the Speaker or on behalf of the Speaker's Chief of Staff. It is apparent that the Democrat staff ought to be drafting these Amendments with some greater care. The Gentleman might have asked for leave to amend the Amendment on its face. He didn't. Might have redrafted the Amendment. He didn't. For those reasons, I object and ask for a Roll Call vote on the Gentleman's subsequent Motion."

"On that question, Representative Van Duyne."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker. I'm growing a little weary of Representative Vinson, and I move the previous question."

"All those in favor of suspending the appropriate rule vote 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is open. 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 69 voting 'yes', 48 voting 'no' and the Motion carries. Parliamentarian informs me that this takes 71 votes.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Amendment #7 reappropriates $100,680,128 from the Job Training Partnership Fund. As you recall, this afternoon we removed it from DCCA's main budget and the purpose of putting it in this budget is it will allow for more timely disbursement of funds to service delivery areas. I would move to adopt."

"I do believe that Amendment 10 is technically incorrect inasmuch as we adopted Amendment #5. You would now have two Section 17 (b) s. Could we make it... Could I 185  63rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1985 offer to the Chair that we would amend this on its face to make it Section 17-1?

"12, rather, yes, you are right." June 27, 1985

"12, it appropriates $23,000 for the Bethany High School Band to participate in the World Band Festival in Sarasota, Florida."

"What is the formula used by DCCA and would you also explain when are they going?"

"The formula for DCCA?"

"Yes, the formula DCCA uses to dole out this money."

"Oh, yeah, it's 20... It's 25 percent, I believe."

"This, then, represents 25 percent of what they raised?"

"I couldn't respond to that. I'm not sure. I don't know."

"Well, you knew the formula."

"That's because my staff just told me."

"You had the Amendment drafted for 23,000. Would you tell the body when are they going?"

"I think they have already gone."

"Well, you either think or you know."

"Well, I... I think they have. I'm not sure if they are back yet, though."

"Well, what dates are they to be in Sarasota, Florida?"

"I'm not sure, Representative Leverenz. I'm really not."

"Well, would you then withdraw the Amendment until you figure out if this meets the formula?"

"No, I think it's an appropriate Amendment. Everyone else has a band that travels worldwide and..."

"Oh, is it... it's a band that travels worldwide or just within the states?"

"Well, this band is... yeah, this band is just going to Florida."

"This time."

"Well, unless they win any other honors, of course. I'm sure they will, though. They are probably one of the best 188  63rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1985 bands in the nation."

"Would they use all $23,000?"

"If they don't use it, I'm sure they would return it."

"Hell, that's kind of impossible. It's only 25 percent of what they raise or the total cost of the trip does the state pick up. Would you make a point of sharing with the Members of the General Assembly how much the total cost of the trip was and then how much they paid and how much we subsidized so that it would meet the formula?"

"Representative Leverenz, I really don't know that."

"We might have a little problem on Concurrence. Thank you."

"Representative Johnson. Representative Johnson."

"This band and this village is not in my district, but because I live in downstate Illinois I'm aware... I really am of the... not only the terrific amount of success they have enjoyed, but the pride they have brought to that whole part of the state. For those of you who live in other areas, you have various projects and schools and so forth. We have passed some things earlier today that are important to you. This, to the people of this part of the state, very, very important. It's a small town with a group of people and their teachers and so forth who have put a lifetime of work into forming up what's one of the best bands in the country. It's a minimal amount of money for a terrific amount of civic pride and pride for this whole part of the state and I think they serve and I know from the number of people that I know that are involved with this organization as real goodwill ambassadors for the whole State of Illinois and our whole educational system everywhere they have gone. And I urge you, for this little amount of money, to support Representative Tate in his 183  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day effort to support the Bethany band."

"Mr. Speaker, I think it's my right to verify the negatives on this."

"Representative Barnes, are you seeking recognition?"

"Yes, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask Mr. Leverenz if he couldn't reconsider. After all, we have been here all day and there have been many other Members that have gotten their little bands and they are sending them to Hawaii and some people are coming from Germany and I don't see why Michael Tate, as a Member of the Appropriation I Committee who is a faithful Member and always in attendance, can't get this small amount for a band in his district. I don't think it's quite fair."

"Representative Leverenz."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, Representative Barnes. Representative Barnes, I would be happy to work with you.

"Will the Gentleman yield for a question, please?"

"He indicates he will."

"Representative, would you explain to me why we're deleting the effective date on a Bill?"

"So that the Bill becomes a pure vehicle, Representative Vinson. There were some nasty rumors floating around that this Bill actually had some substance to it, and I just wanted to lay those rumors to rest. We want to make sure the Senate has an excuse to put this Bill in the Conference Committee."

"We want to make sure what?"

"The Senate has reason to put the Bill into Conference Committee. If we don't put any Amendment on this Bill, it goes right to the Governor's desk. And we're not serious about the Bill. It's a vehicle Bill for appropriation matters in case we need it. If we don't need it, we won't use it."

"Well, then have her explain it."

"Yes, this is for the $2,300,000 to buy the building at 5th and Capitol in which is located the Department of Financial Institutions and the Department on Aging. They'd been there for now for 8 years. I think it's about time we started to think of buying instead of paying rent."

"The Lady moves for the adoption of Amendment #16. Any discussion? Representative Leverenz."

"Will the Sponsor yield?"

"She indicates she will." 202  STATE OF ILLINOIS 34th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1985 63rd Legislative Day

"You want 2.3 million to do what?"

"To buy the building at 5th and Capitol in which is located Financial Institutions and the Department on Aging. They've been located there since 1977, and they've been paying rent for the 8 years. It looks like they're going to continue to be there. I think it'd be a good investment to purchase it rather than keep on paying rent."

"Who owns the building?"

"I think it's Mr. Ralph... it is..."

"Horowitz and Clark."

"I think it's Horowitz."

"Has there been an appraisal of the property?"

"Has there been an appraisal?"

"Let me rephrase the question. Has a person qualified to make valuations of property given anyone a value of the property?"

"I understand that there have been three appraisals, and this is taking the average of all three. However, I'd like to advise you, Representative, that I used to be the assessor for the City of Springfield. I think I still have some knowledge. I think this is a very very fair price."

"But if they don't sell, will the state utilize condemnation?"

"I would think not."

"What does the annual lease cost?"

"I can get that for you immediately."

"Okay. Tell me immediately. Perhaps while you're looking that up, you'll respond to another question. Why is this not in CDB's Budget instead of CMS?"

"I don't serve on the Appropriations Committee. I just know what has to be done and should be done."

"Well, take that, Ted." 203  STATE OF ILLINOIS 34th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day

"Well." June 27, 1985

"Would we have a figure of what we pay in rental for this space currently?"

"He's on the phone getting it now, Sir."

"Is there any possibility that either one of these agencies could move into the new Willard Ice Building on the first floor where the Lottery, opened, has since the building not moved into, and the space has been vacant since the building opened?"

"I would suspect that the Lottery better move in from out in the boondocks where they are, where nobody can get to them, and leave Aging where it is, which is accessible to all the older people who use the Department."

"Is this in the Governor's Budget?"

"Yes, it is. This is an Administration Amendment."

"Is it in his original budget? The answer to that, Representative, unfortunately is no. It is not in his original budget. This is an agreed add-on. Have we found out what the lease cost is per year? I mean, we might only pay $100,000 a year, and we could stay..."

"Are you an optimist?"

"No, they rejected my application. But we may only pay $100,000, and we could stay here for 20 years for this amount of money."

"Representative Greiman in the Chair."

"And could it be separated..."

"Alright. I now have it. The rental is $238,612 a year for the three departments."

"Annually for all three different departments we pay $238,000. What additionally do we pay for the associated parking facility at a different address at 221 East Capitol?"

"421 East Capitol is 5th and Capitol. There are about 204  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day June 27, 1985 9 parking spaces in conjunction with this building."

"Are those included in the rent?"

"Yes, they are."

"And for how many years could we continue to rent, rather than use General Revenue funds to buy the building? It seems unconscionable with what we've had with prior Amendments to burn up that type of General Revenue funds for something we should perhaps bond. Has that Central Management Services made the decision that they should buy versus lease or build as we have through... the Audit Commission found they should?"

"During the ten year period, we could've purchased the building for the amount of rent, approximately. I recommended when I was Director of the Department of Aging that it would be a wise move to buy the building. At time, I was told that this would be under consideration. I'm glad to see it has finally come to fruition, and that they've realized that the rent should be put into payments to purchase a building."

"I would stand to oppose the Amendment."

"Ms. Oblinger."

"Vote red."

"Ms. Oblinger to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sometimes it's hard for me to understand opposition to Bills. I've never participated in anything called a Christmas tree thing around here in the eight years I've been here. When I put in an Amendment, it's because I believe it's a really worthwhile Amendment, and I'm not trying to pork barrel. I'm trying to do something that I think is to the wellbeing to the state and to the department in which it represents. I ask you to vote for this Amendment, because I truly believe it's worthwhile." 205  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 63rd Legislative Day
