"Ladies and Gentlemen, the hour of 12:00 o'clock having arrived, Members should be in their seats. The Chaplain for today will be the Rabbi Steven Moch, from Temple B'rith Sholom in Springfield. Rabbi Moch is a guest of Representative Curran. We invite our guests in the gallery to join us for the invocation. Reverend Moch."
The Rabbi Moch: "One of the central prayers in the Jewish Tradition addresses God with the words; Our God and God of our ancestors; God of Isaac; God of Abraham; God of Isaac; and God of Jacob. And the question comes to mind, why could the prayer not simply have said; God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Why does it need to repeat, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob? And I would answer, that it is because for each person, God is completely different, responding directly to the needs of that individual. The God of Abraham differs from the God of Issac, who differs from the God of Jacob. Each of them did not simply take over the faith of their ancestor, but added to it, based on his own inner response to God. And God in turn responded by becoming part of that new and unique relationship. Each of you, too, has a unique Faith and an inner set of guiding moral principles, by which you must live if you are to be true to yourself and to your Faith. You have been elected to serve by your constituency. They expect you represent their interests, but more importantly, they expect you to be true to your own beliefs and principles. And so we pray. Each to the God who we alone know and who uniquely guides each of us along the pathway which can be the only correct one for us. Oh, Teacher, of the way, and source of our strength, help us to be strong leaders of our districts in which we will legislate, according to that which we deem right and necessary for the well-being of to 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 95th Legislative Day April 26, 1988 this State, not by that which is expedient. Remind us, when we stand for election and reelection, that our constituents must vote for us not on the basis of popular stands that we take, but on the basis of our personal integrity. Grant us clear vision to penetrate through the veils of political self-interest and pursue and approach to the problems of our State of Illinois, with forthrightness, with courage and unselfishness. And thereby will we ourselves bring blessing to this State through the wisdom that You have given us, to keep far from this State iniquitous designs, intolerance and apathy. Amen."

"Regarding ... my ... conversation... or monologue last week regarding rules, I just want to report to everybody that indeed many Republican Bills were called the second time today. And I thank the Democratic Leadership for that. One hundred - eighty Republican Bills were called the second time, and one Democratic Bill was called the second time.

And we are committed to doing that in Chicago, as well as many of you I'm sure in the whole state. Our education system must be turned around so we can produce a better product.

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Amendment #1, addresses a problem that this General Assembly dealt with in part last year. We all are aware that there are certain county officials that receive stipends. And what...has happened in a couple of cases, or what has been threatened in others, is that the salaries of these county officials have been either threatened by the County Board to be reduced by the amount of the stipend.

"And under this Bill... Well let me ask this. Are you aware of another Bill sponsored here, which essentially would allow the stipend to be held back if the books aren't delivered on time, say the local assessing authorities?"
"No I'm not, Representative. But this should make no difference one way or the other. This simply says that the County Board cannot reduce the stipend.. or reduce the 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 95th Legislative Day April 26, 1988 salary rather by the amount of the stipend. Rather we want to hold it back for lack of appropriate work or so, that's another decision we can make."
