"The problem generally revolves around the odor."
"Well, who created this problem?"
"The grass did."
"The grass clippings created the odor? Well, I wonder, who brought all this about? We didn't have this problem two or three years ago. How'd this problem come about?"
"Well, I wasn't in the General Assembly, so I'm assuming this was an initiative by the General Assembly."
"Oh. I remember that now. Yes. We passed a law down here that said that all landscape waste would have to go to a composting facility. That's right. Thank you very much 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 for reminding me about that. In other words, maybe that law didn't do exactly what many people told us it was going to do. I'll be darned. Well, okay.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Representative Schakowsky, is House Joint Resolution 44 similar to a Bill that Representative Balanoff had in the Energy and Environment Committee?"
"This...I'm not sure, Representative. This simply sets up a task force that includes the director of the EPA and ENR. They can appoint some citizens including those that live near the composting piles, and it's just to look into the problem."
"What is the makeup of the task force supposed to be?"
"It's supposed to be the director of the EPA, ENR, and they can appoint some citizen members, and...I know people that live within a mile can be on the task force."

"Now how would the four people living within one mile of a composting facility be picked? Are who would pick them out?"
"That's not designated specifically in this Resolution that I can see."
"Well, then I think your Resolution is flawed, and maybe you should take it out of the record, and try to fix it. To the Resolution, Mr. Speaker. This Resolution is similar to a Bill that Representative Balanoff offered in front of the Energy and Environment Committee, and it was killed in committee, and the reason it was killed in committee, because the committee Members, and our committee, we have a Solid Waste Subcommittee, who is looking into this issue. We're going to be going out this summer to a number of composting sites and looking on. We don't need to form another layer of bureaucracy that's not going to get anything done. There is a problem with odor in the landscape issue...and we're going to look at it this summer, but I think forming another...task force, which we don't know exactly who's going to be...how they're going to be picked, are they going to be paid, are they going to get their expenses or what. It's the wrong time to do it, and I would urge a 'no' vote on this Resolution."

"Mr. Speaker, and I want Bill Black to pay attention to this. Bill, I don't know if you remember yesterday's Speaker Madigan referred to Giorgi that that was the second time that anybody..."
"It's in the rule book." 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991
"Well, Representative Giorgi was on the podium, and the former Representative Slickman threw the rule book right at the podium...right at Giorgi. I thought maybe you want to repeat history, grab your rule book and throw it at Zeke Giorgi, so you know..."
"The rule books in those days were hardcover. That was quite a number of years ago, though. The Clerk said that's why we went to soft covers. I'm the only Legislator in history that a Speaker from the podium said that my Bills would not be called for two weeks because I insulted a Member of their party. I'm waiting for orders.

"Would the Sponsor then again make sure we know what we're going to pass here?"
"Let me tell you what the reason is. House Amendment #1 was the portion dealing with state income tax. We have a Bill on the Governor's desk that does exactly what Amendment #1 does, so there's no need for it. That's all it is. What it does, it extends the deadline for people involved in Persian Gulf and in future conflicts. We certainly hope there are never any more, but if there are any in the future, but there is a Bill identical on the Governor's desk."
"Identical to that Amendment, you mean, or identical..."
"Identical to that Amendment, yes."
"Alright. What does the underlying Bill do?"
"The other part of it deals with property taxes, and delaying their payment by veterans of the Persian Gulf."
"Okay, and the deadline...when would this be over and done with? I mean, you obviously don't want the deadline extended ad infinitum."
"Yeah, I don't have a copy of the Bill in front of me, but...let's see."
"Did he answer your question, Representative Black?"
"I didn't get an answer, I..."

Would you like to take Senate Bill 799 for Representative McPike on House Amendment #1, to refuse to recede? Representative Black, for what reason do you rise on this issue?"
"Yes. Well, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Representative Homer, are you going to...his conference is more important than ours."
"Yeah. This...our question simply revolves...I'm not sure it's been the practice to send IFA Bills to Conference Committee, and we just have some concerns with why it's going to go to conference, and what it might be used for."
"You want to take it out of the record for a couple of minutes, Representative Homer?"
"Take it out. We'll get the answer."
"Take it out of the record. Representative Black, he's not...".
"Alright. Thank you."
"Doesn't have the file in his hand. Let's go back to Senate Bill 83, and Representative Balanoff on House Amendment #1. Representative Balanoff, on Senate Bill 83."
"We want to recede from Amendment #1."
"The Gentleman moves that the House recede from House Amendment #1. Would you want to explain what the Amendment does?"

"Representative Black, on..."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, and I also wish to thank the Sponsor for bringing that up to us. There are several ways in which this Bill falls off so it can't be used for ever and ever. He's done an excellent job, I appreciate his efforts. Thank you."
"So, the Gentleman moves that the House recede from House Amendment #1 to Senate Bill...all in favor signify by saying 'aye'...this takes a Roll Call vote because it's final action.

"Continue."

"Can you clear the board, Mr. Clerk?"
"Yes. It looks like it's my fault that we're sitting here doing nothing."

"I did have a question for the Gentleman. I wondered what he had in mind for this Bill. Taking it to conference."
"Would you enlighten Representative Parcells, Mr. Saltsman?"
"Yes. I believe all the contents of this Bill was amended in 763. One of the other...if the Bills, and it got it...this Amendment got this Bill, and it'll be used as a shell Bill."
"You don't intend to do anything different than was in the language of this Bill and the previous one? No new language?"

"Will it be affecting the IFA employee?" Saltsman:
"Pardon." "I said would it be affecting the IFA employees in any way?"

"Go ahead. The matter has moved, but go ahead."
"Thank you. Representative, I believe it was about a year ago that an audit commission report was very critical of this agency for some substantial bonuses...maybe we should call it merit pay increases, but they were substantial. I just want your good word that no attempt will be made in this Conference Committee to again remove this agency from the various restrictions on such financial rewards that we expect state agencies to comply with."
"It's not my intent, but on...probably will not be in a Conference Commission."
"Alright. Thank you very much."
"Representative McNamara on House Bill 2642. House Bill 2642 on concurrence."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 2642 was a Bil1 that passed out of this House with a majority I think of over 110 votes, and what at it did was...is added two teacher's to the teacher's boards, with the Amendment, House Amendment...or Senate Amendment #1 does, that says one should be from Chicago, and one should be from downstate of the members that are added. We agree with the Amendment and ask for your concurrence."
"Representative Black, on 2642."
"You really think the Senate Amendment makes this Bill better?"
"In reality, I should probably be opposed to having one from Chicago, and one from downstate because there's none from the suburbs. However, I don't think in the whole scheme of things, it really makes an awful lot of difference, SO therefore...and I don't want it used as a vehicle for the School Code because there's enough vehicles out there. The safest place is on the Governor's desk."
"Yeah. I would tend to agree. As I recall, when I came 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 down here as a freshman, Gentleman took me under his wing. I think it's the Gentleman that's sitting in the Chair at this very moment, and he said, 'You know some of you downstaters come down here, and you want to make Chicago bashing the sole point of your existence. You can't do that. You have to go along with Chicago on occasion. Give them the respect a large, first-class city deserves.' You know, Representative Giorgi, I've always remembered that, so, in this case I think we probably ought to go along, and this is good for Chicago, but I also think it's good for the board, and I think you're right. We don't need a vehicle, let's accept this. Thank you, Representative."
"He uses with the pearls of wisdom. Representative McNamara moves that the House concur to Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 2642.

The June 29, 1991 Senate Amendment basically says that the corporate authorities of a municipality may also initiate the special service area, and it would follow the rules and requirements that they would proceed through their fashion, and so I would move to concur in Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 1256."

"Alright, on page 9 of the Calendar... Speaker's Table, page 9, appears House Resolution 359, Representative Satterthwaite. House Resolution 359. House Resolution 359, requests the Illinois Board of Higher Education to evaluate its announced wide minimum admission requirements."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker. This Resolution gives direction to the Board of Higher Education to come back to tell us how we're meshing with the new requirements for college entrance, to give us some idea whether they think that most of our high schools will be able to provide the courses that students need to meet those college entrance requirements, and if there are some that are not able to give those courses, how they plan to handle it through 32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 waivers or other kinds of means. It's simply an update on the situation that has been under discussion for several years, and I would move for passage of the Resolution."
"Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the Resolution signify by saying 'aye', opposed, 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and Resolution 359 is adopted. Representative Obrzut in the chamber? Jeff Obrzut? Representative Steczo on 927."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I would move to...I'm going to make a Motion to nonconcur with Senate Amendment #1, and concur with Senate Amendment #2, so at this time I would move to nonconcur with Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 927."
"You heard the Gentleman's Motion. Does the Gentleman have leave? Hearing none, leave is granted, and House nonconcurs with Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 927."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I now move to concur with Senate Amendment #2 to House Bill 927. Senate Amendment #2 increases the salary of sanitary district trustees not the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. Smaller sanitary districts, from $3,000 to $4,800 a year. There's a State Mandates exemption, and the last time their salaries were increased was 1977. So at this time, I'd answer any questions, Mr. Speaker, if not, I would ask for concurrence in Senate Amendment #2."
"You heard the Gentleman's Motion on Senate Amendment #2 to House Bill 927. Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor signify... Representative Black."
"Yeah. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Indicates he will."
"Representative, in your explanation about Senate 33 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 Amendment #2, it appears that some things have changed. Are all sanitary districts, which is what we're called downstate, are all of our sanitary districts included in this salary enhancement, or is it just specific water reclamation districts?"
"Representative Black, I would hate to use the term 'water reclamation district' 'cause that means the Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, which is not included in this, but as you're aware, there are a number of sanitary districts, and the way that those sanitary' districts are denoted is by the year of the Act that they were created, and this amends the Sanitary District Act of 1936, so there are a few that this relates to."
"Okay. So it's conceivable that this could affect a lot of sanitary districts around the state, correct?"
"It's conceivable, and I would also mention to you, though, that in terms of service on a smaller sanitary district, the fact is that while you don't want people to get wealthy, they certainly should have some periodic increases, and the fact is that they have not been increased since 1977. That's almost 15 years."
"Okay. Thank you."
"Sure."
"Further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the...oh, excuse me. Representative Younge." Younge, W.: "Is this Senate Amendment #1?"
"No. This is... Senate Amendment #1, we nonconcurred...this is to accept Senate Amendment #2." Younge, W.: "Okay."
"This is to concur on Senate Amendment #2. Okay. Representative Weaver."
"Yeah, Mr. Speaker. I'd just like to request a Roll Call on this." 34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991
"Alright, you heard the Gentleman's Motion to concur with Senate Amendment #2 to House Bill 927, and on that question, all those in favor signify by voting 'aye', opposed, 'no'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record, Mr. Clerk. Representative Steczo."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would request a poll of the absentees, please."
"Mr. Clerk, poll of those not voting."
"Poll of those not voting. Bugielski. Capparelli. Giorgi. Matijevich. Satterthwaite. Stern, White and Wyvetter Younge. No further."
"Representative Black."
"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Inquiry of the Chair, and in honor of the button my wife wants me to wear today, it says 'lighten up', let me make an inquiry of the Chair in a more calm and reasonable fashion. Rule #60 says, and I heard you say take the record, that once that is said, no Member may change his vote, add his vote, if previously not recorded. Now, I didn't quite get an answer last night on that rule #60. I think the Parliamentarian might have responded with the wrong ruling, but, again, an inquiry of the Chair, you did say take the record, and I realize that some people may want to change their votes, but under rule 60, I don't think they can, so I would just like the Chair to so rule."
"Representative Black, I think we're finally going to get to a...decision on this and there is two or three...rules that..."
"Oh, well one would be sufficient."
"What I'm going to do is ask, with your permission, ask the Parliamentarian to sight the rule rather than have him write it and take up the time of the 35 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 House. He can just explain it. Is that permissible?"
"That would be more than permissible, Mr. Speaker."
"With leave of the Body we will have the Parliamentarian instruct the procedures where which we will follow by Mr. Black's request. Our Parliamentarian, Mike Pollock."
"On behalf of the Speaker, our rules provide that...after taking the vote, in Rule 55(a), the Clerk shall complete the tabulation of all record votes, including any changes in the electrical Roll Call as directed by the Speaker. Prior to advising the Speaker of the result. The Speaker shall thereafter declare the result, further, in Rule 60 provide...60(a), that after an electrical Roll Call is completely recorded and the record is taken, no Member may change his vote. Mr. Black, if the Chair took your interpretation and once he indicated to the Clerk to take the record, no Member would then be able to change his vote even if there was a mistake..."
"Oh, I think that..."
"And the Clerk indicates, Sir, when the Clerk indicates to the...when the Speaker indicates to the Clerk to take the record, he is telling the Clerk to tabulate the votes, tabulate the record votes, at that time, Members may change their votes up until the time, it indicates in Rule 60(a), that the electrical Roll Call is completely recorded. Members may also be added up until that point."
"But when the board is locked out, would...would that not then mean that no more votes could be added or changed or...or do they have to seek recognition to change their vote? When he said...when you said, 'Take the record', Mr. Speaker, the board was immediately locked out. I guess, maybe it's Rule 56 that would explain it, Mr. Parliamentarian, if you could enlighten me. Perhaps, the Ü 36 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 definition of when the vote is completed the Clerk shall advise the Speaker of the result. Does that mean we have a completed vote only after that time? Rule 56-(b)."
"The vote is completed when the Speaker is ready to declare the result."
"Well, I...having had the privilege of sitting in the Chair a few years ago as a county board chairman, I certainly respect the power of the Chair, and, given that explanation (I'm not sure I totally agree with it), but it seems like a reasonable explanation, and I think, in light that my wife wanted me to wear this button today, I'm going to be very reasonable and...say I think it was a creative and calm explanation; and, I guess, if you want to change some votes...I guess you can change some votes."
"Thank you, Representative Black, and, with that, Representative Obrzut."
"Mr. Speaker, how am I recorded?"
"How's the Gentleman recorded, Mr. Clerk?"
"The Gentleman's recorded as voting 'aye'."
"Can you change me to 'no'?"
"Change the Gentleman from 'aye' to 'no'. Representative Satterthwaite. Representative Satterthwaite votes 'aye'. The Chair now is prepared to declare the vote, Representative Black; and, on this question, there are 57 'yes', 50 'no'. Representative Black."
"When I looked at the board, I just wanted to make sure you were ready to declare the vote. I didn't see many changes, but I agree with you. If you're going to record the vote, I think we are in strict compliance with the rules, and I congratulate you, Mr. Speaker, on upholding the long and hallowed tradition of the rules in this House. Abraham Lincoln would be proud of you today, Sir."
"Thank you. Representative Mulcahey wishes to 37 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day change his vote to 'no'. Rotello, 'no'. June 29, 1991 Marinaro, 'no'. Novak, 'no'. Anybody else? DeJaegher, 'no'. McGuire, 'no'. Anybody else? Granberg, 'no'. Anybody else? Okay, Mr. Clerk, take... The vote now is 50 voting 'yes' and 57 voting 'no', and the Motion, having failed...Motion to concur fails, and nobody else can change their vote. Representative Black."
"How was I recorded? I forgot. I didn't even look to see how I had voted. It's too late now, anyway."
"The vote's...the vote's been declared, and it's off the board. Representative Steczo. Move on. Representative Ryder, on House Bill 2352."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would move to not concur with Senate Amendment #1."
"You heard the Gentleman's Motion. Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed, 'nay', in the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and the House nonconcurs with Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 2352. Representative Curran, House Bill 1831. Proceed."
"Mr. Speaker, I move to concur in Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 1831. This is the earned income tax credit legislation. The Senate Amendment...is...is simply corrective legislation and doesn't change the nature of the Bill."
"Any discussion? Hearing none, the question is, 'Shall the House concur in Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 1831?' And, on that question, all those in favor signify by voting 'aye', opposed, 'no'. The voting is open. This is final action. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record, Mr. Clerk. And, on this question, 115 voting 'yes', none voting 'no', and the House does concur with the 38 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 1831, and this Bill, having received the required Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Representative Keane in the chamber? Representative Keane. Representative Ronan, House Bill...Senate Bill 844. This Bill appears on Supplemental Calendar #1 on the Order of nonconcurrence. House Amendments 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5."
"I nonconcur with the action of the Senate, and I request a Conference Committee for Senate Bill 844. I refuse to recede."
"The Gentleman move...moves to refuse to recede from House Amendments #1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 to Senate Bill 844 and requests a Conference Committee. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed, 'no', in the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and the Motion carries. Supplemental Calendar #2 on the Order of nonconcurrence, appears Senate Bill 45, Representative Kubik. Kubik. Nonconcurrence, Supplemental Calendar #2, Senate Bill 45 amends the Purchasing Act."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I would...I would move to nonconcur...oh no, I would refuse, I'm sorry, I would move to refuse to recede from House Amendment #1 and...ask for a Conference Committee be...appointed."
"The Gentleman moves to refuse to recede from House Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 45. Any discussion?

"Do...do you want...you want a Conference 39 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 Committee? Alright, the Gentleman moves to refuse to recede from House Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 151. You heard the Motion. Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed, 'nay', in the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and the House refuses to recede from House Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 151, and they request for a Conference Committee. Representative Balthis. Representative Balthis on Senate Bill 1310. Do you refuse...do you want a Conference Committee? Do you want a Conference Committee? Representative Balthis."
"The...House Amendment 2...was there an Amendment in the Senate?"
"Mr. Clerk, the Gentleman asked if there was an Amendment in the Senate. It's just House Amendment #2."
"Senate Bill 1310...was amended in the House with Amendment #2."
"Mr. Speaker, I put that Amendment on in the House."
"Yes, it went over to the Senate, and they nonconcurred with that House Amendment."
"Then...let's put...let's put it in conference."
"Okay. Alright, the Gentleman moves to refuse to recede from House Amendment #2 to Senate Bill 1310. Does the Gentleman have leave? Hearing none, leave is granted, and the House refuses to recede from House Amendment #2 to Senate Bill 1310 and requests a Conference Committee. Representative Lang, on Senate Bill 1455."

Representative Obrzut, are you...prepared to go with House Resolution 522? 522, House Resolution. Mr. Clerk, on the Speaker's table, page 9, appears House Resolution 522. Representative Obrzut."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Resolution 522 urges the Federal Aviation Administration and the air transportation industry to develop a standard of noise abatement profile by December 31, 1991. The Resolution urges the federal...the F.A.A. to establish an industry-wide noise abatement profile. The Resolution is a response to the problem of excessive aircraft noise around major airports. The Resolution calls for a profile with specific speeds, power settings and flap retraction schedules, in particular. Basically, what the Bill does, it'll help us with a noise abatement plan for O'Hare Field and other airports, and...I was amazed when I was researching this...noise problem that...this isn't already being done, and I would urge the support of this chamber. Thank you."
"Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the Motion signify by saying 'aye', opposed, 'no', in the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and House Resolution 522 is adopted. Representative Turner. Representative McGuire, are you ready on House...on Senate Bill 821, on nonconcurrence, on Supplemental Calendar #1? Do you want to refuse to recede and request for a Conference Committee? Oh, I'm sorry. Representative Hicks. I'm sorry, Representative McGuire. It's Representative Hicks."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I would move to refuse to recede from...House Amendment #1 to...Senate Bill 821 and ask for a Conference 41 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day Committee to be appointed."

Representative Steczo, House Bill 803. House Bill 803, Mr. Clerk. The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Steczo."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I would move to concur with Senate Amendments #1 and 2 to House Bill 803. The Senate Amendments deal with...regional or nonregional pollution control facilities located in forest preserve districts. The Amendment is a clarification of the original language as an intended...as intended to define expansion of landfills, and the language was drafted by the EPA, at least Amendment #2 was. It says that downstate forest preserve districts or conservation districts may not develop or operate any new regional or nonregional pollution control facilities on their property. The definition of a new regional pollution control facility, as defined in the Environmental Protection Act, includes 'the area of expansion beyond the boundary of a currently permitted regional pollution control facility'. The Bill is not designed to immediately close down any forest preserve landfill which is operating today, but rather the intent is to allow existing landfills in DuPage County to be filled to permitted capacity and allow the forest preserve to develop the planned recreational facilities on these landfill sites. Mr. Speaker...this...language, I believe, has been agreed to by all parties concerned or the language of these Amendments, and, I believe, Representative McCracken has a question to clarify legislative intent, and I'd be...then I'd ask for a 42 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day favorable Roll Call."
"The Gentleman from McCracken." DuPage, June 29, 1991
Representative McCracken: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Representative Steczo, the Bill states that new nonregional pollution control facilities cannot be developed or operated on forest preserve district land. Is it the intent of this legislation to prevent development of environmental technologies, such as landfill gas and energy recovery facilities and other environmental protection technologies at existing landfills on forest preserve district property?"
"Representative Steczo."
"Representative McCracken, no. As a matter of fact, there are existing statutes that encourage the development of landfill gas recovery project...projects, and the state has other strong environmental protection regulations already on the books, so this legislation will not prevent construction and operation of gas recovery systems on existing landfills on forest preserve district property."
"Thank you. I...stand in support of the Gentleman's Motion to concur and ask for a 'yes' vote."
"The question is, 'Shall the House concur with Senate Amendments #1 and 2 to House Bill 803?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', opposed, 'no'. This is final action. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Parke."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I might point out that this has been worked on by a lot of citizens in the...in the area of the two landfills in DuPage County, and...because of their efforts and the hard work, yes, I was hoping that we could have a unanimous 43 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 Roll Call on this, and I'm pleased to say that there has been a compromise worked out on this, and we're pleased that this legislation could pass."
"Representative Martinez, you seeking recognition? Have all voted who wish? Representative Cowlishaw, are you seeking recognition?"
"Yes, Mr. Speaker. Is it timely now to explain my vote?"
"It surely is."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I would like to join with Representative Parke in thanking all of the people, and there are a great many of them, who have really worked very cooperatively and very hard in order to arrive at this agreement. This was not an easy issue to deal with, and I think that the people who dealt with it and came up with something that everyone could agree upon certainly deserve to be commended, so I join Representative Parke in thanking the participants who arrived at this agreement. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"Representative Daniels, do you care to speak on this issue?"
"I was just...standing back here wondering why you hadn't taken the record yet, but, if they really must know, Amendment #2 was drafted by John Cross of the House Republican staff, so we would congratulate him as well."
"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record, Mr. Clerk. On this question, there are 110 voting 'yes', none voting 'no', and the House does concur in Senate Amendments #1 and 2 to House Bill 803; and this Bill, having received the required Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Representative Parke, you have a Bill on Supplemental Calendar #1, Senate Bill 1119." 44 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991
"Mr. Speaker, could you take this from the record, please?"
"Sure."
"Thank you."
"Representative Matijevich."
"These young Pages have...somebody ordered five Pepsi-Colas, and they don't know who they belong to. They know it's not Ellis Levin, though."
"Did anybody order five Pepsi-Colas, cans of Pepsi? Representative Turner, do you want to run...the House Resolution...House Joint Resolution 16?"
"Sixteen. Yes, Sir."
"On the Speaker's Table, appears House Joint Resolution 16, page 9 of the Calendar, Representative Art Turner."
"This is House Joint Resolution 16, introduced by Representative Mary Flowers, and we all know that Mary's not with us today but doing very well. What it is, is a Resolution that asks that there be a joint committee to...study the Afro-American male population in this state and to report to the General...to the Department of Human Rights...and...by January, 1993, to give final recommendations as to doing something to...address this problem. I move for the favorable adoption of House Joint Resolution 16."
"Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor signify by voting 'aye', opposed, 'nay'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record, Mr. Clerk. Representative Hultgren, are you seeking recognition? Hultgren."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I...while I had Representative Turner on the floor, I just wondered whether he was taking 45 76th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 29, 1991 orders for the 4th of July barbecue? My...my preference would be a...America's cut pork chop with an apricot sauce glaze...but, perhaps, you think my order's a bit premature; but, in case that you are taking orders, that...America's cut chop with an apricot sauce glaze, please?"
"Okay, I'll have to order my Betty Crocker Cookbook. Actually, I was doing baby-back with mumbo Sauce, but I will pull out the Betty Crocker Cookbook and see what we can do for you."
"Take the record, Mr. Clerk. On this question, there are 114 voting 'yes', none voting 'no', and House Joint Resolution, having received the required Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Representative Keane in the chamber? Representative Is Keane."
"Thank you. Mr. Speaker, can I have House Bill 1838..."
"House Bill 1838, Mr. Clerk. The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Keane."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move...I...refuse to recede from Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill...I would move to nonconcur."
"The Gentleman moves to nonconcur with Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 1838. Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed, 'no', in the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and the House refuses to...the House moves to nonconcur with Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 1838. Representative Turner."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was looking through the Illinois Times, and it appears the marching geese step off at 2:30 today at Lincolnfest, and I was wondering if we could get a recess until about 4:00. I hear that this is a sight to see, and I just thought that the Chair would, you 46 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 know, while we're sitting, would allow us to take a look at these marching geese downtown. I know the mayor...the mayor would certainly appreciate it. The local chamber would be glad if we could go down to Lincolnfest."
"Well, I think that's...that's a reasonable request, Representative Turner, but, in lieu of what's going on, I think rather than a recess we'll wait till we get the word, and then we can adjourn. How's that?"
"I...I second that Motion...for Adjournment, and we're just waiting patiently for your advice, Mr. Speaker."
"Give the Chair a little more time, and I'll be happy to make the announcement."
"How much more do you need, Mr. Chair?"
"Well, if everybody wants to move their Bills, we could probably do that."
"Anybody else wanna move any Bills in here today? I don't see any hands, Mr. Chairman, so...oh, there's one guy over there! Thank you, Mr. Chairman."
"Representative Black."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Under Rule 124, Section E, dealing with marching geese, I'll concur. One twenty-four, Section F, on a Saturday, when we recess to see marching geese, a Motion to commit all further Bills on the Calendar to Interim Study is in order if I can be joined by seven colleagues, and I think I see seven colleagues, so put the entire Calendar on Interim Study and let me know when you want me to come back next week. I don't want to miss the marching geese, either."
"Representative Matijevich."
"Mr. Speaker, I'm afraid instead of marching geese we're going to see a lot of sitting ducks."
"Representative Black."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen 47 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day of the House. I have a very important announcement. want all of you to understand that the Tribune Company is serious about their investment in baseball. You know, they changed pitching coaches yesterday, and I'm just very happy to rise on this occasion and say the Cubs are winning today 6-3. Here, here! Those people were out of order! Now, the second announcement: Representative Turner and I have June 29, 1991 I had a Conference Committee. We think we can hold the marching geese off till 5:00, but after that they get hungry and they get nasty, SO let's not delay here! Alright? And there is parimutuel on the marching geese, so let's run right down there, cheer on those Cubs and bet on the marching geese."
"Representative Monroe Flinn."
"I think the report on the Cubs leading the Cardinals 6-3 is a little premature. All we've done was spot the Cubs six points in the first inning. I, frankly, think it's not enough."
"Representative Black."
"Mr. Speaker, I would like to have many join me in a Resolution. By my recollection, if you would help join me in a Resolution that major league baseball games in the National League East can only go seven innings, by my recollection then, the Cubs would be in first place. It's the eighth and nine innings that are killing us, SO I'll file that Resolution in just a short period of time, all games can only be seven innings long in the National League East. Take that, Monroe."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, the Cubs would be almost in first place now if you turn the newspaper upside-down."
"Supplemental Calendar announcements."
"Supplemental Calendar #3 is being distributed."
"Supplemental Calendar #3, nonconcurrence. 48 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 Williams, Steczo, Capparelli and Novak.

"You heard the Gentleman's Motion. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed, 'no', in the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and the House nonconcurs with Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 406. Representative Homer, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On the lull here, I thought I would cheer everyone up in this chamber and announce that the ballgame is over. The Cubs win 6-4! Ya!"
"Representative Matijevich."
"Mr. Speaker, for those interested in marching geese, the Senate Adjourned until...1:00 tomorrow afternoon, so how about the rest of the marching geese?"
"Representative Williams. Supplemental Calendar #3, Senate Bill 659."
"I move not to recede from...House Amendments #1 and 2 to Senate Bill 659 and that a Conference Committee...be appointed..."
"The Gentleman moves to...that the House refuse to recede from House Amendments #1 and 2 to Senate Bill 659. Any discussion?

On the Speaker's Table, on page 10 of the Calendar, appears House Joint Resolution 44, Representative Balanoff."
"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Senate Joint Resolution 44 would create a Landscape Waste Composting Task Force...to be made up of the directors or of the Ι.Ε.Ρ.Α., the D.N.E.R. or their designees, three people who represent the waste industry, two people representing environmental organizations, four people living within a mile of an existing landscape waste composting facility, one person representing the for-profit and one person representing the not-for-profit recycling industry, as well as eight Members of the General Assembly, two appointed by the Speaker, two by the Minority Leader of the House, two by the President of the Senate and two by the Minority Leader of the Senate. They...what they would do is, up until next March, get together, at least, on four occasions to, well...to at least look at four different landscape waste composting facilities in the state and try to give us some answers to a problem that has plagued...many people in their district, smell from composting piles. I, for one, believe that there are solutions to the problem, and I think that, instead of gutting legislation that took effect 11 months ago, we could come up with solutions to the problem, and I just urge its adoption."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Kulas."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Representative Balanoff, is this Resolution similar to a House Bill that you had in committee, which was defeated?" 51 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 29, 1991 76th Legislative Day
"Yes, it is."
"Okay. Explain to me...what did Amendment #2 do to this Resolution?"
"It's Amendment #1, I believe it is, and it would add eight members, all of them being Members of the General Assembly, to the task force. Before this...prior to this, there were no legislative Members."
"You mean before Amendment #1 there were no Legislators on this task force?"
"That is correct."
"And who is to head this task force?"
"The director of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the director of the Department of Energy and Natural Resources."
"And how are the public members going to be chosen..."
"By...by the director of the IEPA."
"Pardon me?"
"By the director of IEPA."
"On what basis will they be chosen?"
"Well, certainly, I know that they probably have heard complaints, as have many Members of this Body, and I'm sure that they're very capable of being able to select competent and adequate representation to...for the makeup of this task force."
"And what happens if within the area of one mile from the landscaping compost or whatever, there aren't four members who wanna serve on this task force?"
"Well, I...I would respectfully say that I have talked to many Members of this Body who have gotten complaints from residents who live very close to composting facilities, so I'm sure that we could find four people living within one mile that would like to serve."
"Thank you. To the Resolution, Mr. Speaker. I rise to 52 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 oppose the Gentleman's Resolution for a number of reasons. First of all, we, as Legislators, have certain obligations, certain responsibilities and addressing problems such as these is one of these responsibilities. I, as Chairman of the Energy and Environment Committee, do not want to relinquish my responsibility as Chairman to address the problem. There is a problem with landscape waste in the State of Illinois, and this problem has to be addressed. That's why we have a solid waste subcommittee in the committee, which has already made certain overtures in this area which we are going out to look at certain sites, to talk to people, to discuss this issue, and to come back with some kind of relief in this area. All we're doing by this Resolution is we're going to be creating a new bureaucracy. I don't know what...when the reporting date on this Resolution is, but by the time the...director, one director meets with the other director and they have their little interagency squabbles, by the time they get this committee together, it'll be past the deadline for reporting on this issue. Why do we, as Legislators, want to abdicate our duties, I cannot understand; so, therefore, I would ask you to look carefully at this Bill...at this Resolution and ask you to vote 'no' on this Resolution."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Balthis."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I strongly support House Joint Resolution 44. I strongly support recycling, composting, but one of the worst Bills that came out of this House was the composting Bill that passed on problems and costs to local residents and local municipalities. This Resolution is a step in the right direction, and I urge everyone in here to vote 'yes' for it." 53 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day
"Representative Novak." June 29, 1991
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in support of House Joint Resolution 44, and, as Representative Kulas indicated, as the Chairman of the Energy and Environment Task Force, I, too, will be on the subcommittee on...on this problem, but as the Chief Sponsor of this Bill in 1988 that went into effect in July of 1990, I do have to disagree with the previous speaker, and it was not one of the worst Bills, it was an attempt to get this landscape waste out of landfills that currently comprise about 18% of the...of the waste stream that goes into our landfills seeking to extend the life of landfills. Now, we know not too many people knew much about composting and what some of its effects would be. The problems are very apparent. The Chicago Tribune did an excellent article about a week ago about the problems that we are facing with composting facilities, especially in the northern collar counties and...areas in the City of Chicago. I think we do need this composting...task force, as well as our solid waste task force, to visit these facilities this summer and, hopefully, come up with some legislative solutions to address these problems, such as odors and what we're doing with the mulch that is a result of composting, so I would ask for everyone's support."
"Representative Balanoff, to close."
"Yes, I would urge everybody to support House Joint Resolution 44. I don't look at this as an abdication of our responsibility as Legislators. I look at this as an effort to include everybody in solving a problem that face many communities: waste disposal and composting. This Resolution is a joint effort. It's rare that Clem Balanoff will stand up on this floor and tell you that not only do the environmentalists agree that this task force is 54 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 76th Legislative Day June 29, 1991 necessary, but the waste disposal industry, also. So, I would urge everybody to vote 'aye'. Thank you."
"The question is, 'Shall House Joint Resolution 44 pass?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', opposed, 'no'. The voting is open. Representative Anthony Young. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Representative Kulas. Have all voted who wish? Take the record, Mr. Clerk. On this...on this...on this question, there are 68 voting 'yes', 39 voting 'no', and House Joint Resolution 44, having received the required Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Representative Parke, on Supplemental Calendar #1. There's only one Bill that we haven't acted on, and that's your Bill, Senate Bill 1119. Do you care to act on that Bill or do you want to leave it? Representative Parke, on Supplemental Calendar #1. There's only one Bill remaining on that Order of nonconcurrence, Senate Bill 1119. Do you wish to act on that or...?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Quite frankly, I'm not prepared to act on that, and. I would just like to be...it to be held off."
"That's your perrogative, Sir."
"Thank you."
"Representative Keane, do you have some Bills that you want to call at this time? Representative John Dunn. Representative John Dunn."
