"On page 2 of the Calendar, under Motions, there is a Motion with respect to House Resolution 124. The Chair recognizes Representative Granberg Motion."

"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. Pursuant to the same rule, I would object to the discharge Motion and ask for a recorded vote."
"The Chair recognizes the Member from Coles, Representative Weaver."
"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I also add my voice to the objection. The Higher Ed Committee met today, and this Resolution was not even posted, not even scheduled for a hearing, and I find it difficult to believe that the Gentleman wants to sidestep the committee and sidestep the committee process when we have just begun. We have the time, we have the ability, and we have the people on the committee to hear this Resolution. it ought to go through." I think that's the way 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day February 18, 1993
"The Chair recognizes the Member from St. Clair, Representative Younge."
"All right. Madam Speaker, there has been no conversation with the Chairman of the Higher Education Committee about this matter and so, for that reason, I would oppose...this Motion."
"Chair recognizes Representative Younge."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I've had a chance to look at the Resolution, and I have no further problem with it."
"Any further discussion? Now that the Gentleman has moved to discharge the Committee on Higher Education and advance to the Order of the Speaker's Table House Resolution 124 and on that question, all in favor vote 'aye', all opposed vote 'no'. Voting is open. This Resolution takes...The Motion takes 60 votes. Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this Motion, there are 66 voting 'aye', 48 voting 'no', and the Motion is adopted. And now on the Resolution, the Chair recognizes Representative Granberg."
"Thank you...Thank you, Madam Speaker. I move for the adoption of House Resolution 20...124. The Lieutenant Governor has made serious and substantial recommendations for the renewing and changing the Higher Education in this State. This Resolution will simply allow the Higher Education Committee and the Appropriations Committee on Education to meet in Joint Session to consider these substantial changes."
"The Gentleman has moved for adoption of House Resolution 124 and on that Motion, are there...is there any discussion? The Chair recognizes the Member from Vermilion, Representative Black."
"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. Will the Sponsor 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day February 18, 1993 yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker, could we have some order in this chamber? It's very difficult to hear. I didn't...I didn't hear Chairman Younge's objections or comments."
"The Gentleman is within his rights if the... if the Body would please be quiet. Listen to the..."
"It never ceases to amaze me how we're asked to vote...to vote in the...on a measure..."
"You may proceed, Representative."
"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, and that some people just don't pay any attention and assume that whatever happens is for the best of the people of Illinois. This is a blatant example, early in the Session, of, 'I have the votes, and you can all go jump in the lake.' Now, if this Resolution is so doggoned important, why wasn't it heard in committee today? And I would ask the Sponsor of this Motion, what's your intent today? To move this out or set a joint hearing date?"
"Representative Granberg."
"Thank you, Representative. The idea, Representative, is to allow this Body and a joint meeting to review the substantial changes in the Higher Education System. We're trying to open up the process where everyone's input can be allowed, and that's what...This will do that."
"I thought that's why we had a committee structure: that the committee could convene and hear this Bill, it could get a fair hearing, a full debate, and then brought to the floor with a 'do pass' or perhaps a 'do not pass' recommendation or no recommendation. What...What's the problem here? I mean really! Tell me...Tell me the unadorned truth. This could have been heard in committee 4 14th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 18, 1993 today. We could have been in Session next Friday. I mean, for crying out loud, this isn't the 27th of May and you're already ramming a Resolution down our throat. What is it, to send the message to the Governor or just to show us that you have 67 votes? Tell me the truth."
"Representative Black, we always tell you the truth."
"I...I know you do."
"What this allows us to do is to do joint hearings between the Education Appropriations Committee and Higher...Higher Ed Committee. There are no recommendations. This would mainly allow them to have joint hearings on the proposal. That's all."
"Thank you very much, Representative. Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I am sure that the Gentleman believes wholeheartedly in what he said, and I am sure this will make a good press release and your 'spin doctor' will say that you're heading off some ulterior motive that the Governor is planning to make, even prior to the budget message. This is boloney! It's pure unadulterated power. I urge every Member, on either side of the aisle, if you want to be treated fairly, between now and the end of May, then vote 'no' and use the committee system. That's all that stands between you and a complete dictatorship in this chamber, and you're already seeing how it's going to be used all year long. We don't need the committee structure. Not if it's sponsored by that Gentleman. Well, I say you do need the committee structure. This could've been heard in committee. I vote 'no', and everybody in this chamber should vote 'no'."
"The Chair recognizes the Member from McDonough, Representative Edley."
"Madam Speaker. This is using the committee structure. 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day February 18, 1993 This is combining the Higher Education Committee, which has to do with substantive changes, and the Education Appropriation Committee, which is responsible for appropriating state monies. The governance is a question that involves both of these committees and so it is proper and rightful that a Joint Committee Hearing be scheduled and as soon as possible. Last year, the Governor promised to have his task force report to the General Assembly by June 1st, but he was tardy in his report, failed to present his task force report until the last few...days of our Legislative Session. We don't want to let that happen again. So, I support the Gentleman's Resolution. I think it makes good sense and is in the best interests of the citizens and taxpayers of our state."
"Chair recognizes the Member from Coles, Representative Weaver."
"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Indicates he will."
"...Representative Granberg, when these two committees (if this should happen to pass) when these two Committees meet in Joint Session, what is the Bill number that they're going to debate?"
"Representative, if this is a subject matter Committee Hearing, Joint Hearing, it would just enable those two committees, instead of doing separate hearings at separate times, to combine those hearings on the Governor's task force recommendations."
"When are these committees going to be scheduled to meet? Are they going to be statewide hearings? Are there going to be hearings in Springfield? When are they going to meet?" 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day February 18, 1993
"At the convenience of both the Chairman and the Minority spokesman of both of those committees. They will arrange the appropriate times."
"Is there a date certain in terms of some kind of conclusion? When are they to be finished with this debate?"
"Well, Representative, I think that's up to the respective Chairman and the Minority Spokesman on the committee. This would enable them to speed up the process on the Governor's recommendations instead of having two separate hearings with the Educational Approp. and the Higher Education Committee. I would assume they would have to make some recommendation...before the Governor's...recommendation would actually go into effect. This will be the subject of much interest during the course of the spring. Lieutenant Governor Kustra has made the recommendations. These committees will jointly hear on the subject matter on their recommendations."
"And so the committee will then publish its recommendations or the combined committees?"
"This will be strictly a subject-matter hearing, Representative. They are going to hear testimony from affected and impacted parties on whether this is a good idea or not."
"Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, the Gentleman's Motion has no conclusion to it. It has no Bill to debate. It has no date certain as to when the committee's even going to meet or when the committee's going to conclude its hearings. It has no requirement that any kind of results or any kind of report will be issued based upon those hearings. And...And a previous Speaker said that there is a complaint about the task force on 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day February 18, 1993 Higher Education co-chaired by Art Corn and Lieutenant Governor Kustra, didn't have their report. Their report is on our desks. We have that report. As a matter of fact, the only report we don't have is the Democrat task force report on Higher Education that has been empowered for over a year. If you want to study the issue, I've got a Bill for you. I've got a Bill filed in the Higher Education Committee to do just this. Let's debate it in committee where it's supposed to be, not start this open-ended process that gives us no report, no conclusion, no...no dates of meeting, and nothing to keep it from going on until next year. All this is...is a delaying tactic to give the Speaker another bargaining chip on May 27th. I vote 'no'."
"The Chair recognizes the Member from Macoupin, Representative Hannig."
"Yes, thank you, Mr....Madam Speaker and Members of the House. I am not so sure what...you know, what the big fuss is with the Members of the other side of the aisle. You know, we have nothing to do in the next two weeks in our Appropriations Committees because the Governor has not yet introduced his budget. Now, what better time for us to take a look at this issue. It seems to me that we should not ask these committees to study these issues while we're trying to deal with the budget itself, but we should try to arrange the time frame so that we can look at this issue in the Higher Ed Committee now, when we have the time. So this is simply an opportunity for us to better manage the time of the House. It is...It's nothing cynical about it or secretive about it or a problem about it. It's just...a way of allowing us to better manage our time. So let's give us an opportunity to listen to all Members of the 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day February 18, 1993 highered community come in and talk about this issue. The Lieutenant Governor is certainly welcome to come in and say what he wants to say, and I know he's very interested in some higher ed issues. So, let's give everybody a chance to come and talk to the Appropriation Committee and let's not make a big deal about it. It's a chance to give the... It's a chance to give the people a hearing on this issue, and I ask for a 'yes' vote."
"The Chair recognizes the Member from Cook, Representative Parke."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I'd just like to comment on the previous speaker, that 'What's the big deal?' Well, I'll tell you what the big deal is: It's the sanctity of the committee process. That's what we're talking about here. It affects each and every one of you. We're talking about the committee process. Why circumvent it? I wi11 let you know that ramming down the throat of the Minority is not the way to set the pace for the rest of the Session. I will tell you, raw power, abusive power is not what we want here. We want to start off in a good stead. We want to cooperatively work together. Next week, you can do this. You can put it through the committee process. Why do this right now, just to show raw power? Cooperation between both sides is going to be paramount, especially if we are going to work together with our colleagues in the Senate and work together with our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. I ask you, put this off, pull this from the record, go through the committee process. Let's wait for next week and thereby show that cooperation is important and that you're willing to work with us. I would ask, if it's not pulled from the record, that we vote 'no' on this 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 14th Legislative Day February 18, 1993 legislation."
"Representative Granberg, to close."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, we are not circumventing the committee process. If anything, we are strengthening it, making it better, making it more efficient. We want to combine both committees to do hearings, joint hearings. We have the Education Committee on Appropriations, and we have the Higher Education Committee. Our move is simply to combine it so they can do joint hearings on very, very serious proposals to modify the whole entire higher education system in this state. These will be public hearings to allow input from everyone in this state from all impacted parties, from all citizens. We are trying to economize the process. We're trying to open up the process. This is good government. We're not circumventing. We're making it better. This is the way the system is supposed to work, and I ask your 'aye' vote."
"Representative Granberg has moved adoption of House Resolution 124, and, on that Motion, all who are in favor vote 'aye', all opposed vote 'no'. The voting is open.
