We praise and thank You for Your gift of life to us. May we do all we can to preserve it and to enhance it. We ask Your continued blessings for those elected or appointed to public office. May they come to understand more clearly what it means to serve their brothers and sisters. May we do all that we can to deserve the trust placed into our hands. We seek Your special guidance that we may be especially sensitive to the poor, the elderly, the afflicted and those who are most forgotten by the system. Give us the enthusiasm of the first days of office. Give us the confidence to act decisively. Give us the wisdom to act rightfully. Give us the ability to be kind to all others, for this we can all afford to do always. This is our prayer today, and every day. Amen."

"Representative Greiman in the Chair. Mr. McCracken, for what purpose do you seek recognition."
"Point of information, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there had been an agreement between the Chairman and the Minority Spokesman of the Appropriations II Committee to pass out from Committee the Governor's Budget at the 1987 levels. This morning, except for one Republican add on, add ons totaling approximately 30 to 40 million dollars were added to the Appropriations Bills on a party line vote. And Mr. Speaker, and Members on the other side of the aisle, you should be aware if you intend on making these add ons, you're going to be responsible for passing the tax that goes along with it. So when these add ons come up and you're considering a vote on them, consider how you're going to vote on the tax package which the Governor proposed."
"The Gentleman from Macon, Mr. Tate."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. As the previous speaker had indicated on a bi-partisan basis, the House Appropriations Committee had attempted today to keep budgets at current levels of spending. In fact, it was a fact that the Chairman of that Committee demonstrated a great deal of fiscal responsibility himself; however, many of the Members of his own Party did not share that same concern that he had in protecting the integrity of this budget. I would like to 3 39th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 5, 1987 note for the purpose of all Members that today, what we did in Appropriations II Committee on the mental health budget was, we totally eliminated new initiatives, totally cut community action lines in mental health. People, there are going to be people in communities throughout this state that aren't going to be served in mental health today, yet we put $24,000,000 back in mental health's budget today to protect bureaucrats at mental health institutions across this state. People, if you're concerned about disabled people, if you're concerned about mentally ill people, I would suggest to you that this General Assembly should pass a budget that provides for services to those people rather than protecting bureaucrats. In addition, today, for all downstaters, I think it is important to note that we put $10,000,000 back. The only thing we did with the elementary and secondary education budget today $10,000,000 back for Chicago Public School Districts. I think that's a sham in this process. We all know that school districts, our own school districts need funding. We're not satisfied with the current levels of spending that we have, but if you're going to spend more money, you should be prepared to raise taxes in this state. And to allow Chicago to receive $10,000,000 and not one other downstate school district to receive..."
"Excuse me, Mr. Tate."
"...that kind of funding. That's a sham."
"...for your remarks. Alright. Fine. Thank you. Mr... the Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Matijevich."

"Mr. Bowman, for what purpose do you seek recognition, Sir?"
"Well, a point of personal priviledge. I won't prolong 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day May 5, 1987 the debate, but I think the record ought to be set response to straight on just a couple of small points in the previous two Gentlemen. Number one, I would simply observe that the Appropriations II Committee today cut over $600,000,000 out of the budget, Ladies and Gentlemen. We reduced the budget by $600,000,000 or more, and to the add ons that he was referring to, I would simply observe that even with the add ons, with everything that we did in the Committee today, we are still below the Governor's level for a no tax increase budget. We are below that level because we made even deeper cuts in other areas so that we can confidently assert that this budget will not require a tax increase. Thank you."
"All right, Mr. Dunn, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"
"Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I rise to waive some posting requirements.

"House Resolution 308, offered by Representative Preston. Whereas, the dangers of drug and substance abuse have threatened every social and economic level of the society; and whereas, efforts to stimulate drug awareness and education play a major role in alerting youth to the dangers involved in using drugs; and whereas, valuable support to halt the rise in drug and substance abuse has been coordinated by government, private sector, education and community leaders; and whereas, WLS TV and the Chicago Sun Times have joined forces to launch an unprecedented media campaign targeting the drug issue and seeking positive solutions; and whereas, this campaign, 'Say No To Drugs', has received a major committment and response from schools, churches, and community; and whereas, WLS TV will produce and air, live, the first national 'Say No To Drugs' Parade to salute and recognize any drug groups on Saturday, May 9, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon; and whereas, the 'Say No To Drugs' Parade will kick off a week long series of events for National 'Say No To Drugs Week' and make a significant committment to drugs and alcohol abuse education and contribute to the quality of life in our community: therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the 85th General Assembly of the State of Illinois that we extend to WLS TV and to the Chicago Sun Times our highest commendation for their efforts in the fight to combat drug and substance abuse in the Chicago area; and be it further resolved that a suitable copy of this Preamble and Resolution be presented to WLS TV and the 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day Chicago Sun_Times as a token of our esteem."

May 5, 1987 "Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I am very pleased to be able to introduce to you this afternoon Joe Ahern, who is the President and General Manager of WLS TV in Chicago. This Channel 7 has been involved for over a year, actually about two years, in a Say No To Drugs campaign throughout the Chicagoland, and indeed in Illinois, the entire state. This program that they have put together and publicized through their television station and elsewhere has been extremely effective in giving us what will be, in the next few years, a drug free generation of our children in this state. This parade is only one of many programs of awareness for children in schools. I know Joe has spoken to children throughout the state on the importance of having the courage to indeed say *NO to drugs. I'm am very pleased, and I hope you will warmly welcome Joe Ahern, President and General Manager of WLS TV." "Thank you, Speaker Madigan. Representative Preston, Members of the House of Representatives. On behalf of WLS TV and the Chicago Sun Times, I would like to thank you for recognizing our efforts to raise awareness to the drug problem for the past year. Response to our Say No To Drugs campaign has been overwhelmingly positive from business leaders and from community leaders, from educators and from anti-drug organizations throughout the area, but nowhere as immediate and consistent and as meaningful as the cooperation and encouragement that we have received from the governmental leaders from the very start. Lieutenant Governor George Ryan and his staff have been on our Advisory Committee from its inception nearly one year ago. Senator Lechowicz sponsored a Proclamation at the beginning of the campaign. Representative Lee Preston 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day May 5, 1987 organized a Say No To Drugs Student Forum for 25 schools in his legislative district in January, and this Resolution recognizing the First National Say No To Drugs Parade, which is based right here in the Midwest and will air this Saturday, and the campaign in general is an important show of support from this Body. Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to read to you a commentary that was in the Chicago Sun Times today, that I think says it best. And it is written by Michael Brownstein, who is a student teacher at Faren Elementary School. "I have watched eagerly the campaign against drugs by the Chicago Sun Times and various television stations. Though society has always been against drugs, it appears everyone is now participating in the Say No To Drugs campaign, and I wondered how effective it really is. I've discovered it is very effective, indeed. In a modern society devoid of real heroes, a new hero is emerging. He is not a caped crusader. Instead, this hero is a teenager, perhaps even an elementary school student. What makes him a hero? He has the guts to say 'No' to drugs. I teach school in an area where drugs can be bought right on the street. My students point out to me the dope houses. Teenagers show me where shooting galleries are located. A day does not go by when I do not find a discarded needle on the sidewalk, yet, more and more I find these same students talking with respect about a teenager who stood up to his peers and said, 'No, I'm not going to use drugs, and I'm proud of it.' Antoinette Henderson writes about her hero, a teenager named Jane. 'Sherry, a drug addict,' Antoinette writes, 'decided to have a dope party, and she threw it on a school night. Everyone in the class went, except Jane. Jane was tough. She did not need drugs. She did not want anyone else to do drugs, so Jane went to the party and she 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day May 5, 1987 saw everybody getting ready to do drugs, and Jane turned off the music and she grabbed all the drugs and Jane said, *School was in and drugs are out." Everyone was scared. They were all afraid to say 'No', but when they heard Jane, they became as brave as Jane. Sherry called them all chicken, but Sherry knew that she was the real chicken. She was too scared to quit drugs. Sherry wished that she could be like Jane, but she also knew that she was too weak. And that night Sherry went into her room, took an overdose and died alone on the floor of her room. Jane said *NO to drugs and became a real hero to these children. She became a hero for more reasons than that, though. She also stood up against Sherry, rallied her peers away from drugs and maybe saved some from Sherry's fate.. He further writes, I am proud of these children and all the others who have discovered this new hero. It does take guts to go up against one's peers. I now know the real hero of the modern teenager, Jane, and all the others who have stood up and said 'No, I'm not going to stand up and take drugs. I'm going to have fun with my friends, but I'm not going to do it with drugs. Ladies and gentlemen, we're very excited about this 'Say No To Drugs' campaign. I can tell you that this Saturday will kick of f I a national drug awareness campaign all over the United States and it's starting right here in Chicago and in Illinois. thank you for this Proclamation, Representative Lee Preston. Thank you for hearing us. We hope that there will be a drug free society as we move into the later 80's. Thank you."

"I was seeking leave on one of those Bills as the Lady mentioned. I understand she seeks to place it in the Subcommittee. Today's the last week for Committee hearings."
"Ms. Currie, was that for before a Full Committee, or a Subcommittee?"

This Amendment #1, which was offered by the Illinois State Scholarship Commission, allows the veteran to stay in school and gives him up to six months to make provisions for repayment of the loan, and I ask that we do adopt on the Amendment." 17 39th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 5, 1987

"Thank you. Will the Sponsor yield? Representative Weaver, the Bill itself would allow veterans to...would allow the Scholarship Commission to grant loans to veterans, even though they had defaulted on their loan?"
"This deals with the veterans scholarship, okay, which, last year, we removed from the Department of Veterans Affairs and allowed ISSC to administer. Previously, it had been thrown into a part of their Statute which allow them to withhold that veteran's scholarship from any veteran who is in arrears on any other student loan. This simply allows the Illinois State Scholarship Commission to work with a veteran to set up a program of repayment. It gives him six months of school time where he can stay in school and make arrangements to repay any loans that he may be in default on."
"What does the Amendment do to the Bill?"
"The Amendment makes that six month allowance. The Bill itself would have prohibited ISSC from denying him a scholarship. The Amendment now allows them to deny the scholarship if he, in fact, does not make arrangements to repay that loan in six months."
"Alright, thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Fellow Members of the General Assembly, you have noticed that this Bill has been waiting on Third Reading for a period of time, hopefully that I thought that this Bill would never have to be called and it's unusual that a Democrat is carrying a Bill that basically the Governor of the State of Illinois is receptive to. When the Governor of the State of Illinois went into our locale, and possibly some of you have never been in my locale, but each and every one of you have read about the Mississippi River. Governor Thompson said that he was, without a doubt, totally imposed about the implementation of riverboat gambling, to prevent it on the Mississippi River. I have taken issue with that particular legislation from day one. The ministers of my locale have taken opposition to riverboat gambling. The community itself, in the event that this would take place, the community would be divided. At the present time, the community is working hand in glove with one another. Four years ago the people of my area did not realize the 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day May 5, 1987 potential they had in the Mississippi River. Four years ago 180 buses went into the community. This year over 3500 went into the community. This is tourism. This is what tourism is all about. It's an essential growth industry we need in there. We cannot destroy it by the advent of riverboat gambling. Tourism is a family concept where man, woman and child participate with one another. You don't take children into the area where adults ride the riverboats and the children are left on shore. It's a family concept. This is the legislation that I'm interested in. hoping that you have studied this legislation from time to time. This would not be an asset to the State of Illinois. It would bring in additional problems. In addition to putting riverboat gambling on the boats themselves, this type of legislation would permit these riverboats to dock on the shore and permit casino-type gambling year around. You'd have every prostitute, pimp and drug pusher in the area. These are why it's so essential that basically we support, and hopefully that you will support this legislation that I have brought to you today. Please support House Bill 9. Do not permit riverboat gambling in Rock Island County or in any area of the State of Illinois. Thank you."

I really don't think Andy's Amendment will do anything to the Bill and I don't think it will assist the Bill, but I have no objections to moving it back to Second for the purpose of an Amendment and then hopefully that you will swing it back on to Third for a vote."

"Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Young, on Amendment #1."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. What Amendment #1 does, is it clarifies what a riverboat gambling is. It is particularly geared to the boat that sits in Lake Michigan docked on Navy Pier where sometimes charitable games are held and we want to make it clear that this legislation does not apply to that. I move for the adoption of Amendment #1."

I have tried to make you people knowledgable of what riverboat gambling could do to my community, hopefully that you will never be faced with this situation, but there is a possibility that this could happen.

"He indicates he will."
"Under this Bill as amended, Representative, are the options in the murder of a police officer the following 40 years, 80 years under the extended term, natural life, or death? Is any of those four options available under your Bill as amended?"
"Yes, yes, they are all available. This Bill allows it to be extended beyond 40 and up to 80."
"And is it your impression that under current law the extended term is not available for a crime of this type?"
"You are correct."
"Why is that?"
"Because that is the law. The law says that you either sentence that person to 40 years in prison, that's one of the alternatives, the other one is two, either death or life in prison, and what I am attempting to do is to allow the court to include that gap between 40 and 80 years for a sentence of a particular criminal who has committed a first degree murder of a policeman or a fireman on duty."
"Is it correct that the murder of an officer on duty is in itself an aggravating factor making the death penalty 30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day potentially available in that case?"

There is no existing language in current statutes that tells how a vendor should collect this interest and 106 says that the vendor only needs to initiate a written request for the interest penalty stating when it was due and payable. Last year we all voted for a similar Bill on a 116 to 0 vote to enable our venders, our small businesses in Illinois, to receive the prompt payment interest that is due them. that is actually law today. And House Bill 106 will help the small business people in Illinois to at least receive this interest that is due them and I do ask for your favorable vote."

Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this question there are 109 voting 'yes', 1 voting 'no', none voting 'present.' House Bill 106, having received the required Constitutional Majority is hereby declared passed. House Bill 172, Representative Countryman. Is Representative Countryman in the Chamber? 38 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day Representative Countryman.
May 5, 1987 Mr. Clerk, read the Bill." "House Bill 172, a Bill for an Act in relation to lost, destroyed or stolen instruments, amending certain Acts herein named, Third Reading of the Bill."
"Representative Countryman."
"Thank you. Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Bill amends the Uniform Commercial Code in the case that a certified check, money order or cashier's check is lost or destroyed or in some other way not subject to being cashed. At the present time the law now provides that you can file a court case and then have the court determine a reasonable amount of security to be posted for that instrument in case it ever appears. This would amend the law under this Bill so that you don't have to go to court and that you can post either a bond that is sufficient with the bank which issued the instrument or a letter of credit issued by another bank. I believe the Bill has no opposition and I think it's a good move to solve a problem with lost instruments."
"Question is, 'Shall House Bill 172 pass?' Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed 'nay'. The 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 116 voting 'yes', none voting 'no', none voting 'present.'

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 351 amends the Insurance Code that provides any insurance company may invest in mortgages on real estate, if such real estate is unencumbered except for a first mortgage, when requiring a second mortgage... or a second mortgage when requiring a first mortgage."
"The question is, 'Shall House Bill 351 pass?' Any discussion? Hearing none, the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Young."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Indicates he will."
"Sponsor could you just... I'm a little confused as to how you have a second mortgage and a first mortgage? Could you explain that extent of the Bill on this?"
"Okay, it's a clarification of ambiguous situation. It allows the purchase of, by an insurance company, of a second mortgage on a piece of property, which already has a first mortgage. That's all it does. It says that it clarifies it, and says that if they already have a first mortgage, they also can have the second mortgage."
"Has the Department of Insurance taken a position on this Bill?"
"I don't... from what I remember, nobody objected to this Bill at all, and I don't think the Department of Insurance has any problems with this. We talked... we talked to them about it originally and they had no problems with it, if I remember correctly."
"Well, could you tell me what... could you give me an example of when this situation would come into effect?"
"I'm sorry. Could you say that again?"
"I said, could you give me an example of... a working an 40 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 39th Legislative Day May 5, 1987 example of when this situation described in your Bill would come into a place... come into effect?"
"I'm sorry, I cannot."
"Other questions?"
"I don't know if Mr. Parke is saying that if we pass this Bill, you don't know how it will work?"
"No, I, did not say that. You said, can I have an example? I don't have an example, this came to me and did not come first hand from somebody in my district. It came from the Department. So a... perhaps a... I'll try to get an example for Representative Young so that we could clarify it. If you'll take it out of the record, I'll try to develop one for him, so as to satisfy his question."
"Mr. Clerk, take this Bill out of the record."
"Thank you."
