"Let us pray. Our Father, there is so much work and so little time. There is so much special interest and so little concern for others. There is SO much need and SO little money. It's so easy to be expedient and SO hard to stand alone. It's so easy to work deals and SO hard to forge real moral agreements. It's so tempting to be politician and so easy to forget to be human. For these chosen Leaders, we pray for a generous measure of Your grace and mercy. Amen."

We have another Bill that he and I are the Sponsors of that we are going use as the cleanup Bill for the DUI, and this one would no 6 107th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 23, 1986 longer be needed for that purpose.

"Gentleman from Cook, Representative Cullerton."
"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Amendment would become the Bill. It deals with the sale of alcoholic liquors at Navy Pier in Chicago. Right now the people who rent Navy Pier can only sell beer. This simply authorizes them to sell alcoholic liquors. Be happy to answer any questions and appreciate your support."
"Gentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment #9. And on that, the Gentleman from DuPage, Representative McCracken."
"A point of order, Speaker. I question the germaneness of this Amendment in light of the fact that the Bill it amends amends, among other Acts, the Motor Vehicle Code, and I don't believe anywhere amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. It deletes everything after the enacting clause and sets forth a new and different Act being amended. And I object on that basis."
"Representative McCracken, your point is not well taken. The Chair will rule the Amendment's germane and the Parliamentarian will speak to it." 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 107th Legislative Day
April 23, 1986 "On behalf of the Speaker, the Amendment is germane because the Bill as amended already amends the Liquor Control Act in Section 3, and this Amendment further amends that Act."
"Further discussion? Representative Cullerton." There being none,
"Just ask for the Members' support on the Amendment."
"The Gentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment #9. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Amendment is adopted. Further Amendments?"
"No further Amendments."
"Third Reading. Representative Cullerton."
"I would ask leave to have the Bill heard on Third Reading."
"Gentleman asks leave to hear Senate Bill 1244 on Third Reading. Are there any objections? Hearing no objection, the Attendance Roll Call will be used. Gentleman has leave. Senate Bill 1244. Third Reading."
"Senate Bill 1244, a Bill for an Act to amend the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Third Reading of the Bill."
"Representative Cullerton."
"Thank you, Mr. Clerk. So, this Bill, then, does the same thing as Amendment #9. It authorizes the sale of alcoholic liquors, not just beer, at Navy Pier in Chicago. I ask for your support of the Bill. I finished about five minutes ago."
"Gentleman moves for the adoption of Senate Bill 1244. And on that, Gentleman from Bureau, Representative Mautino."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Representative Cullerton mumbled through that Amendment. My question was, what does the Amendment do?" 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 107th Legislative Day
"Oh. The April 23, 1986 reason why it may seem as if I mumbled is because it's so simple. Right now beer... only beer can be sold at Navy Pier. What the Amendment does is to expand that to include alcoholic liquors. That's all it does."
"I didn't hear it. That's all I'm asking."
"That's the whole Bill."
"Further discussion? The Gentleman moves for the passage of Senate 1244. The question is, 'Shall Senate Bill 1244 pass?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', opposed vote 'no'. Gentleman from Macon, Representative Tate. Representative Vinson, on the Bill."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I'm voting in favor of the Bill. I do think that there are Members who are traditionally concerned about the substance of Bills like this, and I just want to make it clear that what we're voting on is an authorization to sell liquor at Navy Pier. I do support the Bill."
"Have all voted? Have all voted who wish? Clerk will take the record. On this Bill, there 84 'ayes', 15 'nos', 9 voting 'present'. Senate Bill 1244, having received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Adjournment Resolution."

"Speaker, last week we had a memo where all the Members are supposed to contact the Chairman of the... or contact Veronica Lynch and Chris Freveletti if they wanted their Bills posted. I think this week we better have a different system because most Members don't even know their Bills are out of Rules Committee and I would hope that all of the Bills that have been assigned might be posted; otherwise, you're not... next week is the last week and we're not going to have these Bills heard because the Members don't know they're out of Committee yet... out of Rules.
