"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. There are four Amendments to House Bill 2950. The first one covers House Bill 3030 which did not get out of Rules, and it was passed by a substantial majority in the House. The second was 2949 and that was a Bill that someone else wanted to use as a vehicle in the Senate. So the Senate Sponsor and myself agreed to permit them to have the Bill and we put this on 2950. The third and fourth Amendment or fourth and fifth Amendments, rather, deal with a subject matter that the Senate decided and I think that it considerably improved the Bill - which would...When the tax sales were made, that when you paid for the tax property you had to pay all the local liens.

The third one was deleted. The board should be corrected, hopefully, in a minute. Representative Black, do you have questions of the Amendments?"
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, a question of the Chair. Our file indicates that Senate Amendment #2 was also adopted in the Senate."
"Why don't we take this out of the record until we get it straightened out?"

"Any discussion? The Gentleman from Vermilion, Representative Black."
"Yeah, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Indicates he will."
"I remember one day, Representative, somebody got up and said that, as you did, 'That it was only a minor change'. A few years ago somebody said, 'It only changes one word'. I asked, 'what word does it change?' And he said, 'million to billion'. So, if you would, perhaps, enlighten us as to what the 'minor change' is, I'd be most grateful."
"Representative, you know I would never do that to you."
"Absolutely."
"What...What this Bill does, as you know, it says that 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 163rd Legislative Day June 27, 1992 the job...JTPA Board in the State of Illinois will be raised from 50 to 55 members, and there will be five members from veterans' organizations. The original Bill said that 'two members must be members representatives of nationally chartered veterans' organizations'. The Amendment says 'two members must be representatives of nationally or state-chartered veterans' organizations'. That's the only change in the Bill. It allows a state-chartered veterans' organization to also be included. It was an omission...in the original drafting, and we certainly didn't want to keep those organizations out of being possible members of this board."
"Well, absolutely not, I...I certainly agree. I think it's a major change, and it took your... It took a very good Bill that you sponsored, made it even better. So, I...I certainly stand in support of your Motion to concur."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, we've got the problem straightened out. The Senate put Amendments 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 on and then tabled Amendments 2 and 3. Amendment 1 puts House Bill 3030 on this Bill and I've already explained the 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 163rd Legislative Day June 27, 1992 reasons. And it puts Amendment #4 puts 2949 on this Bill, and I've already explained that. And the last Amendment, #5, what it does, generally speaking, it causes the tax buyer to pay not only the taxes but for the liens on the property. So...the counties will be collecting money from the municipalities for weed cutting liens or whatever the case may be. This is supported by the Municipal League, and it's supported by the Urban County League and it's supported by everybody except the small group of tax buyers. I would ask for the adoption of Amendments..."
"Any discussion? The Gentleman from Vermilion, Representative Black."
"Yeah. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. We certainly appreciate Representative Flinn taking the Bill out of the record until we could get straightened out with our various staff people as to what Amendments were on the Bill, and, as the Gentleman says, two of the Senate Amendments were tabled.

"Thank you. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"She moves to nonconcur."
"Will the Sponsor yield for a question as to why we're nonconcurring?"
"Representative Currie."
"Because it was a vehicle Bill when it left here and it's still a vehicle Bill when it came back. Were we to concur, Representative, we would be sending a shell Bill to the Governor's desk. I know it happens from time to time, but hardly ever does it happen on purpose."
"Could you repeat that, please?"
"What I said is that the Bill as it left here was a shell Bill. It's come back with an Amendment but the Amendment keeps it a shell Bill. Now if we were to concur in this Amendment, then we would be sending a vehicle Bill to the Governor's desk, and while we may occasionally do that we hardly ever do it on purpose. So I would instead move that we nonconcur in the Amendment that retains this as a shell Bill."

"I move to concur with Senate Amendment 1 to House Bill 3587. It expands the prompt payment Bill to include automatic payment for Senator Davidson's Amendment to interest penalties, optometrists, physical therapists, physicians, medical doctors and podiatrists. This is Senator Davidson's Amendment, and then Senate Amendment #2, Senator Cullerton's Amendment, adds new language to the Prompt Payment Act. It requires that bills not paid within 30 days will be subject to a 1.5% interest penalty, rather than a 2% interest penalty, which I think is more generous 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 163rd Legislative Day June 27, 1992 to the administration. I'd be glad to answer any questions and I move for concurrence."
"Any discussion? The Gentleman from Vermilion, Representative Black."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Indicates he will."
"Representative, what's the fiscal impact of this Bill as amended?"
"Two answers. First of all, considerably less than when it went to...when it went to the Senate...when we voted it out of here...out of the House. Second, zero if we pay our bills on time."
"Well, let me follow that up with another question. I certainly agree with you. I don't think we have any disagreement about paying our bills on time, but isn't it a fact that the current group insurance, for example, for state employees, is underfunded by approximately $55 million?"
"I think you realize that we...we just passed a supplemental. Representative, when this Bill left the House, it had a 2% interest on it. It's coming back to us with 1.5% interest. Arguing against accepting this Amendment argues in favor (as I don't think you intend to do), for higher interest penalties against this administration when they make late payments on bills to vendors."
"Well, you know...and we're...we're certainly not rising to...to dispute that with you at all, but when we know, for a fact, that we've underfunded, because of the fiscal crisis, certain line items in the budget, then obviously the interest expense becomes a significant cost because we 29 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 163rd Legislative Day June 27, 1992 know those bills won't be paid on time because there aren't sufficient dollars appropriated to pay them. So it looks to me like we're in a Catch-22 here. We're kind of darned if we do, darned if we don't. I just don't know how you can impose an interest penalty that, even under the revised estimates, would cost in excess...in the millions of dollars for Public Aid and close to $4 million for the Central Management Services program. It isn't going to guarantee that anybody gets paid on time when the money isn't there - hasn't been appropriated - to...to pay the bills."
"Any further discussion?"
"Well, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. To the Gentleman's Motion. This is...this is not (and in all due respect to the Sponsor), this is not a philosophical difference. In fact, Representative Curran and I probably agree on 'most every issue that would come before this House. I simply stand in opposition to his Motion, for the fact that our latest fiscal impact shows that this would cost the Department of Public Aid some $50 million at some point in the process. Not because they don't want to pay their bills on time. Not because they aren't willing to pay their bills on time, but because we have not appropriated sufficient dollars to pay those bills on time. So we're compounding an error that I think we make, not the department. We appropriate the dollars. We know, both of us know, all of us know, that the dollars appropriated, in fact the dollars that are available, are not sufficient pay their bills in a timely fashion. That's wrong. We...we all know it's wrong, but I see no...I see no other course in the next few months until we get our fiscal house in order, and I don't think it helps to put our fiscal to 30 163rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1992 house in order to add millions of dollars in interest costs that will eventually have to be paid. We're simply compounding our debt. Now, given that, what I consider to be a fact, I cannot support this Bill. I would urge Members on my side of the aisle to vote 'present' or 'no'. We'll continue to work on this and, Mr. Speaker, should this Motion get the requisite numbers to pass, I feel I have no choice but to ask for a verification."
"The Gentleman from Macoupin, Representative Hannig."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. I would rise in support of the Gentleman's Motion. The prior speaker said that maybe it's our fault sometimes that we don't appropriate this money. Well, maybe that is true, but I don't think that two wrongs make a right. It's not right for the State of Illinois to say that simply because we didn't appropriate enough money to pay that bill, then now we don't have to pay any penalties or interest to the vendor after 30, or 60, or 90, or 120 days. You know, if a small businessman tells the State of Illinois that he doesn't quite have enough money in the bank to make his sales tax payment or his income tax payments, we don't give them any kind of special situations and say, 'Well, if you don't have the money we'll just let it ride for 90 days interest free.' The first thing that we do is we assess a penalty and an interest charge to that vendor, and he has to pay that in addition to whatever he owes us. So, this Bill is really only fair, and, as Representative Curran said, if we would get our financial house in order and quit overspending here in the State of Illinois, we could pay these bills on time and there'd be no fiscal impact. It's a very simple Bill, a simple concept. It's just asking for 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1992 163rd Legislative Day fairness. What is fair for the goose is fair for the gander. We assess a penalty and interest when they don't pay. We ought to pay interest when we don't pay. Sounds like it's a fair thing to me, and I'd ask for a 'yes' vote." "Further discussion? The Gentleman from DuPage,
Representative McCracken."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to this Concurrence Motion, and I've had occasion to debate this with the Sponsor and with other Members of the House on previous occasions. But, you know, a new thought has occurred to me in how to illustrate the point I wish to make about this, and what this is, is the Springfield version of deficit spending. Our Constitution, unlike Congress, does not allow us to spill red ink on the chamber of this floor like the blood of SO many taxpayers. So, instead, we promise benefits that we can't afford to pay. We pass the substantive legislation; we stand up; we take credit from the press; we send out a newsletter; we send out a press release saying that we've solved the problem. But we haven't addressed the problem, because this problem has nothing to do with any substantive issue. This problem has only to do with money. Only money. The reason we don't pay our bills now is because we don't have money, and if you think, at least in the short, term if that situation is going to change, you are mistaken. And if you think, in the short term at least, that that situation is going to improve, you are doubly mistaken. All you do is pile benefit on top of benefit on top of benefit. Now, I understand why this sells because there is a superficial appeal to it. If I had all the money in the world, I'd be willing to pay interest on late payments. Don't get me 32 163rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1992 wrong. No one denies the issue of fundamental fairness that this raises, but that's a false issue. The only issue is money, and the only issue is being responsible to the taxpayer and avoid the temptation to engage in the Springfield version of deficit spending."
"Representative McNamara. Representative Keane, in the Chair."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. When we had money in the State of Illinois, we didn't pay our bills on time. Let's face it. The State of Illinois suffers from poor management principles. If we paid our bills on time, even when we had the money, what we would have done would be to lower the cost of the products, because, let's face it, every vendor raises the price of those products to us as a state because we cannot pay our bills on time, or we don't want to. We need management in this state that reflects what our businesses are expected to do. Let's look at another point on this. We are closing businesses in this state because we don't pay our bills on time. Ask your small pharmaceutical companies, ask many of the small businesses that cannot get the money from us that are closing. What happens then? We not only lose the tax revenue, we lose the employees; we increase the joblessness rate in this state; we destroy our economy. We are driving people out of work. We're closing businesses. If Illinois pays its bills on time, it generates more money. It's a simple, business practice. Voting against this says that you're for a higher interest rate. This lowers it to 1.5% per month. That's logical; that's realistic; that's the way to go. I urge your 'aye' vote. There's no excuse for any other vote."
"Representative... Representative Wennlund." 33 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 163rd Legislative Day June 27, 1992
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. For one thing, the prior speaker has forgotten that it has been a long, long time since there was a Republican Comptroller or Republican Treasurer, because, in fact, it's been a Democratic Comptroller and a Democratic Treasurer who hasn't been paying their bills on time. If that's what the problem is, you better look to within, but the real...the real story here is the contradiction, the big contradiction. Representative Hannig, not more than three weeks ago, told us why. Not only did he propose cutting by $45 million services to the developmentally disabled and the mentally ill in Illinois - those that cannot take care of themselves - he wants to cut $45 million out of their budget - and now comes back and says that really what we ought to do is...we're still gonna cut that $45 million to the developmentally disabled and the mentally ill, but now we're gonna come back and spend $56.7 million this year in interest charges because we're unable to pay our bills on time. Think about the contradiction. Think about how that's gonna look next November. Think about how that's gonna look on the campaign trail. It is totally contradictory; it is absolutely ridiculous to propose spending a another $56.7 million in interest charges, but yet we refuse to help those who cannot help themselves - the mentally ill and the developmentally disabled in Illinois. It is totally contradictory and ridiculous."
"Representative Klemm."
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I've been so involved in the prompt payment Bill that, obviously, I maybe have a self-interest, because I probably represent the business community more than anyone else in the General Assembly, and as much as I 34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 163rd Legislative Day June 27, 1992 support the Bill, I really don't think that this Amendment is something that is gonna work with the Governor, to make it livable. And I think perhaps we should maybe go back to a Conference and try to make it more reasonable. And let me give you a suggestion to the Sponsor. I think the interest rates are a little bit excessive under today's conditions, and I think probably a 1% penalty would be more in keeping with what we're doing. Secondly, I understand...and the business community who has talked to me and has sponsored and supported the prompt payment Bill that I have on the calendar now - have supported the concept that let's wait, maybe one or two years, and maybe make it effective January 1st, 19...say '94 when the state does get in a better financial condition, and then allow it to be made automatically so the businesses aren't cheated again. But what we're trying to do is have a reasonableness between the real life of our financial and fiscal problems of today, with our genuine, honest concern of trying to be fair with our businesses around Illinois. So, I would (almost and I have to almost reluctantly) concur that we should not agree with the Senate Amendment, so that we would have a chance, maybe, to reach that compromise between the Central Management and the Governor's Office, that could be real and honest and something that we would finally promise our business community, once and for all: that we will pay our bills promptly. The state has a chance to get out of its financial dilemma what we know we'll do. Because very honestly, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Governor would be forced to veto this Bill. I know it, and you know it, and I don't want that to happen. We've fought the battle too long. I think today we should send it back, not to...not 35 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 163rd Legislative Day June 27, 1992 to scuttle this concept (because I would not want to do that), but to make it honest and reasonable because that's what we're here to try to do. And then allow it to be automatically paid, and perhaps two years from now we won't have to fight it. We'll have the funds to do it, and we can move on to the other problems of Illinois. So I think we should not concur in Senate Amendments 1 and 2."
"Representative Curran. Representative Curran."
"Want me to close?"
"Before you close, Representative Edley."
"...Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the General Assembly. I want to make this very brief because I know we would all like to get out of here, and we've talked about this time and time again. But let me clear up a couple of what I think were misstatements by some of those who, on the other side of the aisle quite frankly, rose to oppose this Bill. There's a difference between authorizing spending and having money in the bank to pay the bill. Here, about three weeks ago, many of the same people who are rising opposing this legislation supported spending about $125 million in additional GRF spending supplemental - for this year. There was no increased taxes, no increased revenue to pay for that, and it was a very easy vote because what they did was just simply increase the lapse period spending - spend out of next year's revenue. Now that is...fiscally irresponsible. What we're saying, with this Amendment, is if the Legislature, in conjunction with the Governor, want to continually...continue to act in a fiscally irresponsible manner, there will be a penalty. As bad as the Federal Government is, at least when they deficit spend, they pay interest. When we deficit spend, we simply stiff-arm 36 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 163rd Legislative Day June 27, 1992 hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies hundreds of millions of dollars of bills and are SO irresponsible we are unwilling to even compensate them with interest. That's wrong. That's even worse than what the Federal Government is doing, and I would encourage all of my Members to do the right thing and vote and support the Amendments."
"Representative Jay Hoffman."

We have the Republican side of the aisle now is saying that it's the Comptroller and the Treasurer's fault. Give me a break. Do you really believe that? Give me a break. For 14 years, we had a Governor who used sleight-of-hand budgeting. We had a Governor who didn't care what they spent. We had a Governor who carried balances over from one year to the next. And you're going to blame a Comptroller and a Treasurer who refuse to spend money that we don't have? I think it's time that we quit blaming each other. I think it's time we work together for a solution. What we're doing now is, we're borrowing. What we're doing now is we're borrowing from our small businessmen. What we're doing now is we're saying to each other, 'It's okay. Mom and Dad Pharmacy can close. We don't care. We don't want to pay interest.' And we're gonna turn and we're gonna blame somebody else - the Comptroller and the Treasurer - instead of who's really at fault. Let's grow up. Give me a break."
"Representative Curran, to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the 37 163rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1992 House. A little history. When this Bill passed the House with 70 votes, it had a 2% interest penalty payment on it. Another like Bill, with an interest penalty payment at, I think, was it 2%, passed the Senate in the last couple days with 55 votes. Every Republican Senator voting for it. Every single Member on the other side of the aisle who spoke against this voted yesterday to build the largest, the most expensive airport in the history of the planet. You guys are dreaming. One of the Members said that this is about money, and I agree this is about money. It's about who pays the interest rates. When the State of Illinois borrows, the State borrows for about 3 or 4%, but when your local businessman borrows, he borrows for 8, or 10, or 12% or more. We are mindlessly cheating our business people when the state becomes a deadbeat and doesn't pay its bills. I move to concur with this Amendment, 1 and 2, a Democrat and a Republican Amendment, because it is a good philosophical policy to follow, to pay your bills. That's what Illinois needs to do. Illinois needs to be stopped paying...stop being a deadbeat and pay its citizens, pay its taxpayers, who we owe. I ask for an 'aye' vote."
"The question is, 'Shall the House concur in Senate Amendments #1 and 2 to House Bill 3587?' All those in favor vote 'aye', all opposed vote 'no'. The voting is open. Representative Daniels, to explain your vote."
"I'm voting 'no', but it's interesting to listen to the Gentleman who just spoke in front of his TV cameras, cite the fact that we can go ahead and spend all this money and then turn our backs on the handicapped, the disabled, the people's safety and their welfare, and cut their budgets by $373 million. He doesn't have any trouble doing that, but 38 163rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 27, 1992 he's going to try to spend another $80 million dollars. This is a crazy vote."
"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this Bill, there are 73 voting 'aye', 23 voting 'no', 7 voting 'present'. Representative Black requests a verification. Representative Black."
"Yeah, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. We had requested a verification, but I think with 73 votes that would be dilatory. We'll probably visit this again. I'll withdraw the request."
"All right. On this question, there are 73 voting 'aye', 23 voting 'no', 7 voting 'present', and the House concurs in Senate Amendment #1 and 2 to House Bill 3587, and this Bill, having received the required Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. House Bill 2916, Representative Brunsvold. Representative Brunsvold."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I would move to concur in Senate Amendments #1 and 2. Senate Amendment #1 became the Bill. It was the municipal rewrite of the third article dealing with officers. It also included the original...original provisions of 2176 which was simply a transfer of property and who's responsible for any demolition. Senate Amendment #2 clarifies... If you're eligible to run for office, if you still owe the...owe any money to the municipal government then you would not be eligible; indicates you must live one year in a municipality to be eligible to run for...alderman, and the last provision in #2 deals with appointments of clerks and finishing that term. I would ask for concurrence in Senate Amendments #1 and 2 to House Bill 2916." 39 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 163rd Legislative Day June 27, 1992
"On that question is Representative Black."
"Yeah. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Representative, as this Bill started out, it repealed a liability factor that the municipal governments wanted out, and it's a little noisy in here, but it appears to me that the Senate Amendment deleted that."
"We...I took that out before it left the House..."
"Okay."
"...and it was not something that a few of the organizations could live with. We took it out and left just the one provision in."
"So, basically, this Bill is one that you had to pass out of here without any 'nay' votes."
"Yeah, the rewrite on the article went out of here on the Consent Calendar."
"Okay, thank you."
"The question is, 'Shall the House concur in Senate Amendments #1 and 2 to House Bill 2916?' All those in favor vote 'aye', all opposed vote 'no'. Voting is open. Have all voted who wish?

The question is, 'Shall the House nonconcur in Senate Amendment #1?' All those in favor say 'aye', all opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, and the House does not concur in Senate Amendment #1. The Clerk has an announcement."
"There is a form at the Clerk's well that Members should sign if they intend to travel to their district today and return to Springfield tomorrow. Anyone that wants to travel to their district office, please indicate on this form. Thank you."
"Can we have your attention? Can we have your attention? We don't want anyone being embarrassed.

All right. Representative Curran, Concurrence. You have House Bill 3650. Representative Curran."
"This Bill has been a vehicle Bill for the Intergovernmental Cooperation Commission on the way in which we deal with the way federal funds come into the state. The arrangements haven't quite been worked out. We need to nonconcur in this Amendment so that we can get a Conference Committee and work out the final details. There is absolutely no controversy on this Bill, so I move to nonconcur in the Senate Amendments to House Bill 3650."
"The Gentleman's Motion is nonconcur in Senate Amendment 1 to 3650. All in favor say 'aye', all opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, and the House nonconcurs in Senate Amendment #1. Representative Curran, on House Bill 3843. Mr. Clerk..."
"I move to..."
"Mr. Clerk, one moment...3843. Representative Curran."
"I move to concur in Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 3843. It simply deals with the detail of local waste fee road clean-up. I believe there is no controversy. Ask for a favorable roll call."
"Is there any discussion? There being none, the question is, 'Shall the House concur in Senate Amendment #1?' All those in favor vote 'aye', all opposed vote 'no'. Voting is open.

"Can we nonconcur now?"
"Representative Matijevich now moves to recede from...refuse to recede and requests a Conference Committee Report. All in favor say 'aye', all opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, and the House refuses to recede. Representative Currie, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I think this is the Special Order of Call- 'Parties'. I wish to announce two parties to which all the Members are invited. One is an end-of-Session party tomorrow afternoon from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., sponsored by Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice. That would be Bob Churchill, Carol Frederick, Ted and Alice Phillips. It's at Carol Frederick's House, 404 West Jackson Parkway. There's parking in the Visitors Center parking lot which is immediately east of the house.

So, if this Spring Session should ever come to a close, we'll all have a wonderful time celebrating at 801 Williams, and you'll get invitations in your mail boxes, but I wanted you to mark your calendars (if you can find the right day), mark your calendars now.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I would move that the House recede from Amendment #2 to Senate Bill 1763. This was the language on consolidation, the Governor's consolidation report that we discussed the other day. The Senate decided they did not want to address that issue this year. So I, at this point, would move that the House recede from that Amendment."
