"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I need to ask a question of the Clerk. Has there been a second floor Amendment filed? Okay, the second Floor Amendment must not be ready yet, so I am going to have to take it out of the record."

Speaker Cullerton

"House Bill 628, Representative Flinn. There is a Fiscal Note request Representative, has that been filed? Representative Flinn."

Flinn

"No, it hasn't been filed, but I would like to have the Amendments heard and hold it on second until the Fiscal Note is ready."

Speaker Cullerton

"Fine. Mr. Clerk, would you please read the Bill."

O'Brien

"House Bill 628, a Bill for an Act to amend an Act 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 limiting indebtedness of counties under 500,000. Second Reading of the Bill. No Committee Amendments."

Speaker Cullerton

"Any Floor Amendments?"

O'Brien

"Floor Amendment #1, offered by Representative Flinn."

Flinn

"Withdraw Amendment #1."

Speaker Cullerton

"Withdraw Amendment #1. Any further Amendments?"

O'Brien

"Floor Amendment #2, offered by Representative Flinn."

Speaker Cullerton

"Representative Flinn on Amendment #2."

Flinn

"I would move for the adoption of Amendment #2, because it limits the Bill to only St. Clair County. It does not include any other county. This was a request of Representative Larry Wennlund, and I would move for the adoption of Amendment #2?"

Speaker Cullerton

"Any discussion with regard to Amendment #2? There being no discussion, all in favor say 'aye'. All oppose 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. Amendment #2 is adopted. Any further Amendments?"

O'Brien

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

Speaker Cullerton

"Representative Stephens on Amendment #3. You wish to withdraw the Amendment? Amendment #3 is withdrawn. Any further Amendments?"

O'Brien

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

Speaker Cullerton

"Representative Stephens, on Amendment #4."

Stephens

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker..."

Speaker Cullerton

"Mr. Stephens, excuse me for one second. Mr. Clerk, has this Amendment been distributed, or printed?"

Flinn

"Mr. Speaker, I couldn't hear what's going on when..."

Speaker Cullerton

"The Gentleman...Representative Stephens has 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 offered Amendment #4. The question was whether or not the Amendment had been printed and distributed, and apparently it was distributed to the Republican side, and checking to see if it was distributed to the Democratic side? So, Representative Flinn."

Flinn

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, this Amendment is a feeble attempt to either delay or stop the building of the joint venture of the Scott Air Force Base, which is very important in the Metro East area. Supported by the governor of the state of Illinois, supported by the two U.S Senators, supported by the southern Illinois Congressional Delegation in Washington, supported by all Representative Democrats and Republicans and all the Senators, State Senators, Democrats and Republicans. I would like to oppose the Amendment before the Gentleman gets a chance to get up and explain it, because..."

Stephens

"Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker. I haven't even introduced the Amendment."

Speaker Cullerton

"Representative Flinn, all we're trying to do now, is determine whether or not you wish to take the Bill out of the record, since some Members of the Democratic side..."

Flinn

"I don't want to take it out of the record, I want to beat his Amendment, and bad."

Speaker Cullerton

"Well...Representative Stephens, on Amendment #4."

Stephens

"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and Representative Flinn for your words of wisdom. The Gentleman is right. There is much support for the joint use of Scott Air Force Base. The expansion to joint use, that supported in St. Clair county has been made...I've been made aware of. The plan is developing. The Gentleman's Bill might be a little bit premature but, let's 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 presume that it's not premature. Let's just talk about issues at hand about the development of joint use at Scott Air Force Base. Whether you favor the Joint use of Scott Air Force Base or not, I think you would agree, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentleman of the House that the interest of the people who live and reside in and around the area affected most directly. The people at the end of the runway, if you will. I think we would all agree that their interest ought to be protected. As a matter of fact, as the plan has been developed, mention has been made about we ought to protect against sound noise pollution for those people who live at the end of the runway, or who will live at the end of the runway. This might very well, be the biggest capital development project to take place in Southwestern Illinois in many a year. But as those bulldozers are rolling down the road, we want to make sure that we don't trample the interest of the people unnecessarily. As so to that end, Mr. Speaker I have file two simple Amendments that do nothing to slow down the process, do nothing to jeopardize this major capital development project. They do...all they do, Mr. Speaker, is to protect the interest of the people at the end of the runway. We talk in these Amendments about asking the Airport Authority to develop a sound proofing program for schools, to protect children while their sitting in the school learning, as the airplanes pass over above. We talk about around proofing program for hospitals, SO that doctors while they're operating, nurses while they're tending to the sick and bed ridden, don't have to do it in a too noisy atmosphere. We talk about protecting families in their homes against noise pollution, Mr. Speaker. That's all this Amendment does. Well, that's not all it does. That's one of the things that it does, but it 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 certainly doesn't jeopardize the airport authority. It certainly doesn't jeopardize the expansion of Scott Air Force Base to joint use. The other part of the Amendment, Mr. Speaker, talks about protecting against decreased property values. Now, many people will tell you that any time an airport comes to your area that everything is good news, and certainly there is much good news about a development of this nature in our district. The good news we're pleased about, but we're a little worried about some of the bad news. We're worried about decreased property values. How likely is it? Well if it's not very likely then this Amendment won't do any damage, but if there is any likelyhood then this Amendment could save someone from a grievous future. Mr. Speaker this Amendment it it's second part calls for the creation of an Equity Protection Act, so that if you're the house at the end of the runway, and your house is worth (X) amount of dollars, and they put the runway in your backyard, and the value of your property goes down, that the airport authority will fund that decrease property value. Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentleman of the House, much has been made about this...these Amendments back home in our district. This morning's News Democrat says that in its editorial that I am trying to damage the expansion of Scott Air Force Base to joint use, and that is not my mission at all. My mission is simple. My mission is sincere on the behalf of the people who live at the end of the runway, those farmers that have farmed that land for a hundred years and mo more, we're simply saying, before you take their land, before you damage irretrievably their heritage, that you say that we will least protect your children and your schools, will at least protect you when you are in the hospital, from the noise pollution that the planes will bring, and if by chance, 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 your property values go down we will let... we will protect you from any loss, monetarely. The heart break that's to come. I'm not here to stop joint use of Scott Air Force Base, and the expansion to civilian use. Mr. Speaker, I'm just here on behalf of a few people, who ought to be heard, and I move for the adoption of Amendment #4 to House Bill 628,"

Speaker Cullerton

"The Gentleman has move for the adoption of Amendment #4 to House Bill 628, on that question, Representative Flinn. The Gentleman from St. Clair."

Flinn

"Well, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I guess I was a little bit premature, I get all excited when I find out somebody has played a little political games with something very important. This is what this is. It's a little political game for the Gentleman from St. Clair or Madison, I don't know where he lives out now. He moves every so often. But very simply, the subject matter of this Amendment covers has to do with sound proofing houses. Representative Stephens knows full well that that's already been taken care of by the Division of Aeronautical Department of Transportation. He's been told by me. He's been told by them that that's true. All ready, the money is set aside to do it, precisely what his Amendment offers to do. There was three towmships that voted in an non binding referendum to be opposed to the airport. Well, that's three townships out of 21 in the county, and that's not even counting the surrounding counties. This airport is more important since anything that's happened since the building of the Egypt Bridge 110 years ago or SO or maybe, 112 years ago. This will do more to weld, the Metro East Area, into a part of the St. Louis community, and stop us from being a stepchild once and for all, than anything I can think of. This Amendment will not kill the Bill. I 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 agree with the sponsor for that but, it most certainly will delay. has a chance of delaying the process of doing, building the airport, and every delay is many many dollars. I would suggest to you don't pay any attention to the petty politics of the Gentleman on the other side of the aisle. Vote with Flinn, and vote this down."

Speaker Cullerton

"Further discussion? Representative McPike from Madison County."

McPike

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, will the sponsor yield?"

Speaker Cullerton

"Gentleman indicates he will yield for a question."

McPike

"I apologize, I just received this Amendment, so I'm not clear as to what it says. Could you tell me how this sound proofing is paid for?"

Stephens

"According to this Amendment, The Airport Authority will fund this program."

McPike

"The Airport Authority is just a new entity, a newly created..."

Stephens

"Well, what I'm calling the Airport Authority is the sponsoring Authority, and that's St. Clair county."

McPike

"St. Clair county..."

Stephens

"The are the sponsoring authority, and they would run the Airport, yes."

McPike

"Alright, and how would they pay for this?"

Stephens

"However they choose."

McPike

"Well, under what Revenues? Would there be a tax on Aircraft or would there be a landing fee increase, or would they have property tax increase?"

Stephens

"However they choose."

McPike

"So, there would become tax of some sort, some revenue they would have to come up with some revenue to pay for this, or would they just, are you saying would pay for it out of the middle, it's a free lunch?" 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day

Stephens

"This program..."

McPike

"If it's not a free lunch, it's got to cost May 3, 1989 something."

Stephens

"This program calls for wound proofing, has cost aassociated with it, because it is a necessary program." associated with it, because it is a necessary program."

Mc Pike

"And, my question to you is how..."

Stephens

"And, it has to be paid for, and it will be paid for either by revenued created by the airport, because it's a new entity creating new revenue, and that new revenue should be dedicated to protect the interest of the people of our district. So yes, maybe it is a free lunch, because it is new revenue and that would qualify as a free lunch."

McPike

"Do any other major airports in the United States provide for the Airport Authority to pay for sound proofing out of the revenues generated by the Airport Authority? Those revenues being primarily the revenues, as you well know, come from landing fees."

Stephens

"I'm only interested in the people who live at the end of the runway, at Joint use at Scott Air Force Base, and somebody has to pay..."

McPike

"Does this only require for a sound proofing of buildings, or does it have other parts to this Amendment?" talks about sound proofing,

Stephens

"Section...section McPike: section 3, I believe,..." 2 "Section 3 is sound proofing..." 4 I

Stephens

"Excuse me...excuse me section 3 is sound proofing, guess section talks about the creation of the Airport Noise Sound Proofing and Equity Assurance Fund a special Fund created for the assurance of protection of property values that might decrease."

McPike

"If the property value goes up, do you get any money if your property value goes up?"

Stephens

"Do the people who own the property get any money when 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day McPike: their property goes up?" May 3, 1989 "Only if the property value goes down."

Stephens

"Only if it's...they only make money if the property is McPike: sold. It goes up. If it goes down..." "If the property is sold, how does someone make money off of this, how are they reimbursed?"

Stephens

"They wouldn't make any money, it's just a..."

McPike

"How are they reimbursed?"

Stephens

"It's just an assurance program from losing." McPike: I "How are they reimbursed? I own a thousand acres of farm land and a farm house. I sell 999 acres of farmland to a commercial development and I might become a millionaire. have a house on one of the acres of a thousand acres. The value of the house goes down. I make a million dollars off the sale of 999 acres of farmland. I want to know what happens to the dwelling?"

Stephens

"Well, your premise was McPike: interesting, but if the two would be unrelated, and if indeed...o.k." "Just explain to us what happens to the dwelling?"

Stephens

"If you have one piece of property, if I understand you question, your talking about a piece of property whose value went down because the airport came in then you would be insured against loss there." McPike:

Stephens

"And, who pays for this program?" "The program is..."

McPike

"The Airport Authority, or is this an independent insurance fund. Is the Airport Authority also responsible for paying for this?"

Stephens

"The Airport Authority would be liable, yes."

McPike

"The Airport Authority is also liable for this."

Stephens

"Yes."

McPike

"So, the Airport Authority is liable for all property values, and the Airport Authority is liable for insulating 25 34th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 3, 1989 all dwellings. Is there anything else that the Airport Authority is liable for under this Amendment?"

Stephens

"I don't believe so."

McPike

"Just so, just two major parts."

Stephens

"I think you understand it, yes."

Mc Pike

"Okay. Thank you, to the Amendment, Mr. Speaker."

Speaker Cullerton

"Proceed."

McPike

"I'm rather surprised that the Representative would offer an Amendment like this, in an attempt to kill a Airport Expansion in the Southwestern Illinois. When I first got to the legislature, we fought for many years to develop the water loose site for a major Airport in Southwestern Illinois. We lost that fight. We lost it in the Washington D.C. We did not lose it in Illinois. Some 10-12 years later, we come along with a joint use proposal for Scott Air Force Base, and the great majority of the people in Southwestern Illinois are in favor of a joint use Airport. All the predictions are that after the year 2,000, Lambert Airport in St. Louis will, certainly need a reliever Airport facility and it should be somewhere in Illinois. For the Representative, now to come along and attempt to kill that package as being put together. It doesn't make a lot of sense for my district, I can't understand how it makes any sense for his district whatsoever. But to say that there is cost to this that The Airport Authority is somehow just going to generate some revenue, and it's not going to cost the Aircraft that are landing there or the Airplane companies to land there, is extremely naive. Of course, it's going to cost money to soundproof every house in that area. It's going to cost money to soundproof all the dwellings and to assure property values. So, there's a real cost associated with this. He has no idea what it is, nor neither do I. There 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 is a real cost associated with it, and the people who are going to pay for it, are the Aircraft, or the Airplane companies, and they're going to pay for it either by increased fuel costs, or increase landing fees, or something that will discourage them from wanting to expand and develop this Airport. So, this isn't an attempt to stop it, to discourage it, to attempt to stop economic development in southwestern Illinois. I would join with Monroe, Flinn in trying to defeat the Amendment."

Speaker Cullerton

"Further discussion? Representative Hanning."

Hanning

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker Members of the House. Just to reiterate some of the points that have been made today. Much of the problems of Representative Stephens is trying to address, I believe will be, will be a part of the environmental impact study that the federal government by law must do. So, I think by asking a second or perhaps a third, forth, or fifth layer of bureaucracy to this whole procedure, we're going to do nothing but simply slow the project down. You know, we see a lot of Members from this area of the state come in for Bills trying to promote economic development. Now, we have an opportunity to see some economic development, something that our United States Senators have worked hard on, something that the members of the Legislature from that area supported them and worked hard on, and quite frankly when you see the St. Louis Post Dispatch and The Bellevile Democrat, saying that these are good Bills, or that these are good ideas and that these Amendments are bad and untimely and do not add to anything, I think that speaks for itself. So Ladies and Gentleman, I'd ask that all members join us in defeating this Amendment."

Speaker Cullerton

"Further discussion? Representative Hallock."

Hallock

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I think 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 we're losing sight of what the sponsor of the Amendment is trying to do. All he's saying is that obviously, we want to have the Airport here and that will benefit the community. But the same time Airports have impacts, both pro and con. We all know that, and one of the impacts of the Airport is a lot of noise, and those people who are in a hospital nearby ought to have the right to not hear all that noise. I imagine it's very stressful and distressing to those people in that situation. By the same token those who are in school, clearly, if your in an airport runway vacinity, and your in a school classroom, there will be times where you just can't hear. So, let's face the fact sound proofing for the school, also is a good idea, and of course, the home owners. If your living where an Airport is now about to be constructed or expanded you ought to have a right to say that if you lose value on your home, somebody is going to make that up to you. There's is nothing illogical about this Amendment. It's a good idea for the people, for the kids, and for people who are in hospitals, it's a great idea. Vote Yes."

Speaker Cullerton

"Further discussion Representative Granberg."

Granberg

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. Just to echo the remarks by Representative McPike and others. The people in Southern Illinois have worked long and hard for economic development, and they've come a long way. This project could be one of the biggest and the best for all Southern Illinois, and what this Amendment could do, could effectively put up an impediment to that development. The people deserve this project. Everyone's working together on this project, and I would respectfully, urge you not to adopt this Amendment."

Speaker Cullerton

"Further discussion? Representative McCracken, the Gentleman from DuPage." 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 3, 1989 34th Legislative Day

McCracken

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentleman of the House. This concept is not new to this General Assembly, nor is the concept limited even to necessarily virtual or inverse comdemnation created by Airport noise and use. As a matter of fact, this General Assembly, in the not to recent past, approved a neighbor or Home equity program for parts of the Southwest side of the City of Chicago. I suspect that many of the democratic opponents to this Bill voted for that Bill, and I don't know that they we're so terribly concerned that it was going to have a negative impact on property values. In fact, what this will do is help property values. This is a reason to approach to Airport expansion. Airport expansion which has never been adopted or approached as rationally before. If this we're done twenty years ago when O'Hara was expanding, we would have a large Airport and an adequate buffer or sound proofed area to allow people to live comfortably within it's area. There is no reason to be against this. It does no violence to the expansion, it will not have a negative impact. As a matter of fact to the extent, it's accepted by the community down there, it's going to be incentive to develop the immediately surrounding area. Don't kid yourselves. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. You all voted for the Chicago program, there's no reason it doesn't apply in this case."

Speaker Cullerton

"Further? discussion Representative Tate."

Tate

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentleman of the House. I listened to the opposition to this Bill, and I guess their playing to the media on this issue. Somebody should ask the question: Who else is going to help these people sound proof their homes? Nobody in this..., the sponsor of this Amendment..."

Speaker Cullerton

"Can we have some order for Representative 29 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day Tate, Please." May 3, 1989

Tate

"Nobody else is going to try to, nobody is here trying to stop economic development. The sponsor of this Bill is concerned about Hospitals. He's concerned about homes. He's concerned about schools. He's concerned about preserving the neighborhoods. This is a good Amendment, this doesn't stop economic development. This doesn't stop the project, but what this does is provides an orderly construction, and that's what we're all about here. So, the real issue is, I guess is, let's try to politically posture this Amendment into an Amendment that's attempting to kill the Bill, and I guess you know if you spent 175,000 bucks on a candidate, trying to defeat this guy, you're going to stand up and say a lot of these things on the House Floor. But the real issue here is, who's going to help these people in the neighborhoods, and it's happens to be this Legislator's neghborhoods. So, I guess if you don't care about his neighborhoods, it's alright. But if you care about his neighborhoods, and you care about his district then he's doing the right thing. Everybody should support this Bill."

Speaker Cullerton

"There being no further discussion. Representative Stephens to close."

Stephens

"Well, thank you, Mr. Speaker and Mr. Speaker don't take it personal. There has been much discussion on this Amendment and it is an important Amendment, an important issue for the people for Southwestern Illinois, but there's been some misconception (either that or some misrepresentation). I don't know what it is. Well, let's assume that it is misconception by some of the members on the other side of the aisle, because they've said some things like 'this is just politics'. This has nothing to do with politics. This is protecting the interest of a few 30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 people, who's interest ought to be protected. They've talked about well this is going to slow the program down. As much as this is slowing the program down, is as long as we've debated it here on the House Floor maybe 15 or 20 minutes. If we can't pause for 15 or 20 minutes on an important issue like this, then something's the matter. So, we're not slowing the program down. It's been intimated that the sponsor...that I'm trying to stop joint expansion, that I'm against this program, and that's not so. That's a misrepresentation of the facts. What I am in favor of, is taking care of the interest of a few people who happen to reside in my district. These Bills that were filed that affect the people in my district, we weren't consulted. These Bills were filed, one day I saw them on the calendar, and I questioned. Someone said earlier that well much of what the Representatives trying to do is in the plans. Well the plan is unofficial, and if it is in the plan, Mr. Speaker, why not make it law. This is the first official step in the joint use of Scott Air Force Base. Let's start out on the right foot. Let's protect the interest of the little guy, and if I don't stand up for them, who will? The sponsor of the Bill is not standing up for those people in my district. I think it's very appropriate that we protect the property values of those people who might be hurt. I think it's appropriate that we protect the children in the classroom. Why would you be against that? It's appropriate that we protect people as they lay in their hospital beds. Why would you be against that? Why indeed, it is political because you make it political. We're protecting a few people. Why would you sit here and not protect the people of your district. This does nothing to slow or damage the joint use of Scott Air Force Base. Nothing to stop the expansion. That's your 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 statement but not mine. We're simply trying to protect the interest of a few people who ought to be heard. Ladies and Gentleman, these Amendments help this Bill. They don't slow it down, they help move it along. They send a message to people of Illinois that while we're in favor of progress, we will not trample on the little guy at the end of the runway. I urge, and I vote."

Speaker Cullerton

"The question is, Shall this Bill, this Amendment be adopted"? All those in favor vote 'aye'. All those oppose vote 'no'. Representative Tate, for what purpose do you rise?"

Tate

"Yes, Mr. Speaker it's one thing to stand up and to have a political debate on this issue, but it's another thing to turn down the sponsors microphone, the electricity down. Now give the sponsor the Amendment and the opportunity to at least have the chamber hear this place."

Stephens

"Do you want me to give my speech again?"

Speaker Cullerton

"Have all voted who wish?"

Stephens

"Mr. Electrician, I'm done talking if you want to turn off my microphone now, you may. Thank you for your assistance."

Speaker Cullerton

"Have all voted who wish? On this Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this question there are 51 voting 'aye', 66 voting 'no', the Amendment fails. Any further Amendments?"

O'Brien

"No further Amendments."

Speaker Cullerton

"Third Reading. Representative Piel."

Piel

"Yes, Mr. Speaker according to the calendar it says that there is a Fiscal Note requested on that Bill, has that Fiscal Note been filed?"

Speaker Cullerton

"Yes, it has sir."

Piel

"Thank you."

Speaker Cullerton

"If we can return to...Representative Madigan 32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 3, 1989 34th Legislative Day in the chair."

Speaker Madigan

"The hour of 12:00 noon having arrived, we shall go to the special order of business shown on page 2 of the Calendar. The question of an income tax increase relative to House Bill 490. Mr. Clerk has that Bill been read a Second time?"

O'Brien

"The Bill has not been read a second time, yet."

Speaker Madigan

"Are there any Amendments?"

O'Brien

"House Bill 490, a Bill for an Act to amend Sections of the Illinois Income Tax Act. Second Reading of the Bill. Floor Amendment #1 is offered by Representative Williams."

Speaker Madigan

"Mr. Williams."

Williams

"Amendment #1, please take it out of the record?"

Speaker Madigan

"Take it out of the record? Are there any further Amendments? Withdraw Amendment #1. Are there any further Amendments?"

O'Brien

"Floor Amendment #2, offered by Representative Williams."

Speaker Madigan

"Mr. Williams?"

Williams

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentleman of the General Assembly. We all know what this is, and if we don't let's be clear this is the Income Tax increase, but let us relieve a lot of concerns at this moment it is not my intent to call this Bill this very second, on this very day. But it is my intent to express the needed desires of this State to put forth the Revenue to make it possible for us to basically fund a human society. And the realities of what we did last year, when we passed the school reform when we enacted various legislation that effect the children of the City of Chicago. Without the proper funding I thought it was my obligation as a legislature from that city to propose this tax increase. This is 33 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 basically a Governors tax package, for all those on either side of the aisle, who spent a lot of time talking about what one side won't do, what the other side won't do for the Governor who refuses to except any sort of spending limitations. For those of us who say we don't get an opportunity to vote. I want us to have that opportunity to vote this Session. Whether it's this package, whether it is a package that includes specific spending, whether it is a package that comes from the Governor, from the Mayor from wherever. We must face this problem and face our constituency of the result of what we do. Today, I've been asked by many of the proponents of this Legislation, many of your organizations who have lobbied for and talked about and pushed for a tax increase to postpone this action until such time, as they feel that we have an opportunity to garner the forces, to garner the constituency, to have the individuals back home come forth and express their view points in each of our districts. To each of you, I say, that this issue as tough as it is...as tough as it is in any times whenever you have to ask the constituency whether or not they want to pay more revenue, but the other question is do they want to lose services. Do they want to see schools go without proper funding? Do they want to see human services go without the needed in resources? Do they want to see a lot of other hardships that are covered by or without the addition of revenue? So, I say to those who ask me to postpone that I ask the Speaker here today, to allow that postponement to a date sometime before the May 26 deadline for calling of Bills on Third Reading, and I ask my fellow colleagues here today to take some time in their districts to see, not what they feel politically for what that constituency want. Find out what they want. If your districts are against it, fine. If your districts are 34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 for it, fine. But step forward and be counted as we say. Be counted and take a little heart and take a little risk. But this is an issue just as school reform came and had to be voted upon. This must be voted upon this Session, and with that I request of the Speaker, and I request of those proponents tha you do your work. Those proofs, those associations, those concerns, human services that you do your work, that you stressed to these to their constituencies in the various districts around this state, that we have an opportunity now, to pass the tax increase and I would hope that the Speaker would set a date when we would have that opportunity. Thank you very much and on that I would ask for a present postponement of this issue, and that it be rescheduled for a date certain before the May 26, deadline for House Bills on Third Reading."

Speaker Madigan

"The Gentleman has decided not to advance his Amendment today. I let... I'd like the record to clearly indicate that this matter was sent today because I did receive a request from Representative Williams to set today as a vote on the question of an increase in Illinois Income Tax. The Gentleman has now decided not to move ahead therefore, the Bill shall be taken out of the record. But as the Speaker I shall set this matter again for the same time two weeks from today, which Mr. Williams, I hope will give you time to work with your people. Mr. McCracken. Mr. Churchill."

Churchill

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to rise on this same issue. Last year at this time we went through the same charade that we're going to go through again this year. We got a Bill out of the Revenue Committee that dealt with the State Income Tax, we brought it to the floor. There were all sorts of contiuences, and we're going to try and talk about this issue next week, and we're 35 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 going to put everything together, and we're going to stand up and say we'll go back to our people in our districts and find out whether or not they want a tax increase or they don't want a tax increase. Face it, this is a charade, the whole thing is a sham. If an income tax is actually going to be considered in this Chamber this time it's going to take your Leadership, Mr. Speaker. It's going to take you coming to the table with the Governor and with the other Leaders, and you're going to have to sit down and your going to have to say what are we talking about in terms of revenues, and what are we talking about in terms of expenses. And until your willing to come up to the table and talk about that issue, this is just a charade, so don't anybody in this chamber get impressed by this move, don't be faked out, this is a game."

Speaker Madigan

"Mr. Churchill, Mr. Churchill, I have attended every meeting where I have been requested to attend, to talk about increases in the revenue for the State of Illinois, the Governor can attest to that. I've responded to every request talk. I've been very clear about my position on taxation, and I don't plan to deviate from the positions that I've enunciated on taxation. In your case, I do believe that the rules of the House do permit you to offer an Amendment to this Bill. So, if you have your ideas on taxation, you could file the Amendment, and as I've said this will set for two weeks from today, and you'll be in a position to offer your Amendments. Mr. Churchill?"

Churchill

"Mr. Speaker, will we have a chance to vote on the Bill on that day?"

Speaker Madigan

"Why not? We were ready to vote today."

Churchill

"Okay. Fine."

Speaker Madigan

"Mr. Williams." 36 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day

Williams

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. May 3, 1989 I wish to respond briefly because, the sham as it is called is partial...would be part and parcel of any sham that I want to address it right here today. Because, in all fairness I've not discussed this with the Speaker. This is not the Speaker's plan, the Speaker to the extent he got the same letter that I sent to every Member of this chamber. To the extent that I believe that we need the tax increase our put it forth, because my district asked me to put it forth. If in fact... and in fact the plan I put forth is the Governors plan, not necessarily my belief, my plan went down in Revenue Committee today. My plan which called for a different chair in the local revenue two governments went down to distribute it share, it went down. I feel we need to put more spending of restraints on this. I believe that this tax increase should be for education and human services, but I tried to present it in such a way that this Body could have it clean as possible, but to the extent that I have been said that I'm involved in any kind of sham. I take offense at that, because I myself, if in fact you feel that some other person is creating this sham, that's fine. But to the extent that you think that I am part and partial of it. I take offense to that, because I have not discussed this with the Speaker, if you want the Speaker to put forth the plan, if you want the Governors plan, then you propose it. I f you want the Speakers plan ask the Speaker. This for all practical purpose is my plan, and my decision based upon those who say they want support, and that want time to get that support. So, you will have your opportunity to vote and if you just try to ...if you wish to call it a sham, I wish you would call it one without me. Because, I've not put a sham on this General Assembly since I've been here, and I don't intend to put one on here when 37 34th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 3, 1989 I leave. I just don't want to be personally said to have done that. Thank you."

Speaker Madigan

"Mr. McCracken?"

McCracken

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Representative Williams I believe you when you say that your not participating in a sham, but let us stop putting off the day of recogning. Your constituency, you the Democratic Colleagues have had two years to determine whether you've got the votes to do it. I'm not saying I'm for it, but let's stop, let's stop. I warned everybody if I stood up and said this, that that would be the reaction. Let's stop the mascarading, Representative Williams, and everyone else who wants a tax increase. Stand up and vote for it, let's put our money where our mouth is. Vote for the Bill. Call the Bill for a vote. And if you don't get a favorable vote today, hold it in two weeks and call it again. Enough, enough. Either you want it or you don't, if you want it vote for it now. Otherwise, drop the subject."

Speaker Madigan

"Mr. Clerk, Mr. Clerk are there any other Amendments filed?"

O'Brien

"No further Amendments filed."

Speaker Madigan

"Records seem to indicate that no other Member has chosen to file another Amendment to this Bill. Mr. Piel I'm sure you have some words of wisdom on this subject."

Piel

"Yeah, I've tried to figure it out, Mr. Speaker. You sit here and you say you've referred to Mr. Williams about three different times the Gentlemans Bill and everything like this. According to the Board and according to the Calendar, it's Representative Currie's Bill. Now if there are no other Amendments, you know I thought that the you know if the Sponsor of the Bill, wants to take it out of the record and postpone it for two weeks, they fine let her 38 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 go along with the sham, or whatever you want to call it. But, what I think we ought to do is get it moving. You know the Bill in the position that she wants it right now, there is no other Amendments filed to the Bill, let's go to Third Reading. If there are Amendments the people want to file, they let her stand up and say so and so has a Bill that they or Amendment they want to file the Bill, and we'll hold it on Second Reading. But she has not stood up at all, and said what she wants to do, you've already moved that your not going to do anything for two weeks and I was under the assumption that it was the Lady's Bill, that you wanted the thing called today. Where do we stand? Now are you calling the Bill? Is she calling the Bill, or is Representative Williams calling the Bill? I'm not quite sure on this whole thing, Mr. Speaker?"

Speaker Madigan

"I was correct, you did have some words of wisdom to offer on the subject. Representative Currie."

Piel

"Usually are. Usually are."

Currie

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. Representative Piel is quite right, it is my Bill. I support Representative Williams in his Amendment and his decision to ask for a deferral of a vote today. That decision seems to be supported by the Governor of the State, whose tax plan we're talking about, Governor Thompson was quoted as saying, "That a vote today, might kill the effort for a tax increase for the people of the State of Illinois if we were have the vote this early in Session. So Representative Williams is responding to your Governor, Representative Piel, your Governor Representative McCracken and he is responding to the Human Service Advocacy Groups, the people who are working to put your votes on his Amendment. I support his actions to defer and I would ask the Speaker to hold House Bill 490 on Second 39 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day May 3, 1989 Reading and give us the opportunity to consider Amendment 2, at some future time."

Speaker Madigan

"Mr. Clerk, take this out of the record. It's now 2:20, and I know the Republicans are anxious to get to Committee because they enjoy Committee very much. The Chair recognizes Mr. Leverenz for the purpose of a Motion. Mr. Leverenz."

Piel

"that you're not going to do anything for two weeks and I was under the assumption that it was the latest Bill that you wanted the thing called today. Where do we stand? Now are you calling the Bill? Is she calling the Bill, or is Representative Williams calling the Bill? I'm not quite sure on this whole thing Mr. Speaker?"

Speaker Madigan

"I was correct, you did add some words of wisdom to offer on the subject. Representative Currie."

Piel

"You usually are."

Currie

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Member of the House. Representative Piel is quite right, it is my Bill. I support Representative Williams in his Amendment and his decision to ask for a deferral of a vote today. That decision seems to be supported by the Governor of this State, whose Tax Plan we're talking about, Governor Thompson was quoted as saying, "That a vote today, might kill the effort for a tax increase for the people of the State of Illinois if we were have the vote this early in Session." So, Representative Williams is responding to your Governor, Representative Piel, your Governor, Representative McCracken and he is responding to the Human Service Advocacy Groups, the people who are working to put your votes on his Amendment. I support his actions to defer and I would ask the Speaker to hold House Bill 490 on Second Reading and give us the opportunity to consider Amendment 2, at some future time." 40 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day
