"Roll Call for Attendance. Representative Granberg." 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day
"Madam Speaker, would the July 8, 1993 record reflect Representatives Blagojevich and Representative Flinn have excused absences today."
Speaker Currie: "Representative Black, do you have? Representative Black are there any excused absences among your Members?"
"I have no idea, but I'm going to take a chance and say 'no', I don't believe there are. We're all here, ready to do the business, Madam Speaker."
"Thank you. One hundred sixteen answering the roll call. The Clerk will take the record, a quorum is present. Introductions and First Readings."
"House Bill 2466, offered by Representative Johnson, a Bill for an Act making appropriations for fiscal year 1994. First Reading of the Bill. House Bill 2467, offered by Representative Black, a Bill for an Act to amend the Animal Control Act. First Reading of these House Bills."
"Representative Granberg, for what reason do you rise?"
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I move that we dispense with the reading of Journals and the following House Journals be approved. The 62nd through 73rd Legislative Days for the Regular Session of the 88th General Assembly."
"All in favor of Representative Granberg's Motion signify by saying 'aye'; opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Motion is adopted."
"Is a...Madam Speaker, is a...can the Clerk get off the phone for a moment? He is..."
"I don't know. The House will stand at ease until the hour of 1:00 this afternoon. The Chair would like to advise the Members that when we reconvene at 1:00, we are going to be taking votes on Bills, so that's a way 2 79th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE July 8, 1993 of the Chair just reminding everyone that this is not a signal that we're standing at ease for two hours, that everybody should go home...that everybody shouldn't go home. Hang in. At 1:00 we will reconvene. Representative Black, for what reason do you rise?"
"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. An inquiry of the Chair, before everybody...before everybody leaves. We have filed several Motions in the last 24 hours that do not appear on the Calendar. While we're at ease, will you check? I know Representative Clayton filed a Motion to reconsider an action yesterday, immediately after that action was taken, Representative Johnson had several Motions that he has filed and they're not on the Calendar and perhaps when we come back at 1:00, we could be advised as to what the problem is?"
"We'll certainly look into, Representative."
"Thank you. Thank you very much."
"The House will now stand in recess until 1 p.m. this afternoon."
"All right. The Chair's ready to make an announcement and the announcement is, that we will stay in recess for another hour, at least another hour. We do intend to come back to the chamber and act on some legislation, so again the Chair would advise the Members that the delay is not a signal to go home. We will stay in recess to the call of the Chair and our expectation is that will be at least another hour. For what reason does Representative Krause rise?"
"I, too, during this period of time invite all of the Members here at the House to share in some birthday cake which they are bring now down for Rosemary Mulligan to celebrate her birthday today." 3 79th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE July 8, 1993
"For what reason does Representative Stephens rise?"
"Will there be a Supplemental Calendar printed in the interim?"
"The Chair can't answer that question."
"Maybe you ought to ask Representative Black."
"Well the Chair is in the House is in recess to the call of the Chair at least one hour."
"The House will come to order. The Chair regrets that she misled the Members in respect to exactly how long we would be at ease, but we are now back in Session and ready to act upon legislation. There was an earlier request for information from Representative Black, with respect to some Motions that have been filed by Representative Tim Johnson. Those Motions could not appear on today's Calendar because they involved Bills that were not introduced until the House came into Session this afternoon and with respect to a Motion filed by Representative Clayton on the Bill that passed this chamber yesterday, due to the cracker jack work of the House Clerk, although she filed her Motion relatively soon, after action on that Bill in the meantime the message in respect to that Bill had already left this chamber and gone back to the Session, so the Motion is no longer relevant, no longer timely. For what reason does Representative Tim Johnson, rise?" Johnson, Tim: "Just a little puzzled by the Chair's comment. Not to question whether you're intentionally misleading, but we physically took the Bill to pay all the state employees yesterday, together with all the Motions that you alluded to and physically took them to the Well and I'm not sure how they could have not been introduced until today?" 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day
"The July 8, 1993 point, Representative is that the Bill had not been read the first time until today. It will be on...your Motion will be on tomorrow's Calendar." Johnson, Tim: "So, in other words, even though we physically filed it yesterday, somebody made the discretionary choice not to read it for the first time and so we can't..."
"There was no Black: opportunity to read it for the first time yesterday. We didn't go to that Order of Business. We've gone to that Order of Business today. The Motion that you made in respect to that legislation will appear on tomorrow's Calendar, which reminds the Chair to make another announcement and that is that we will be in Session tomorrow at 10 a.m. for those of you who wondered whether today was a travel day, the fact is that tomorrow is a travel day. Representative Black, for what reason do you rise?" "Yes, thank you very much, Madam Speaker. The news that we will be in Session tomorrow is good news. I think we should stay here and conclude the business of this chamber and I am prepared to stay until the proverbial you know what, but be that as it may..."
"Thank you, Representative, for the editorial comments."
"Yes, but I... I am somewhat puzzled as is Representative Johnson by the ruling of the Chair on a Member's Motion to reconsider filed almost immediately after the vote and you're telling me that something was sent via cracker jack electronic mumbo jumbo, then...then the rule to reconsider evidently seems to be null and void at this point."
"It's been the practice of the Clerk's office throughout the Session, Representative, to move in a timely fashion on messages like the one that involves Senate Bill 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day July 8, 1993 940 yesterday, faster than a speeding bullet yesterday and all through this Spring Session and that explains why the Motion is not timely."
"I recall though, a similar Motion to reconsider made one of the Members on your side the day after and that was heard."
Speaker Currie: "Sometimes there's a slipped twix..., but the Motion that you wanted heard today was filed 20 minutes after the Bill was passed by this chamber yesterday, so I think we've said enough. The Motion's not timely. For what reason does Representative Cowlishaw rise?"
"Madam Speaker, I realize that it is fully within your power to declare that that Motion filed by Representative Clayton is not timely. Whether it is or not, of course, is irrelevant. It is simply a matter of displaying the power that is yours."
"Rep..."
"If that Bill could not reconsidered as other Bills have been, when someone who voted on the prevailing side has filed a written request to have the Bill reconsidered. I submit to you that it takes a few minutes to get the wording right, SO that the Motion can be filed and be in the proper form. I hardly think that 20 minutes is an excessive amount of time..."
"Representative, perhaps you mis...perhaps you misunderstood. The point is not at what time, Representative Clayton filed the Motion. An issue is the question when did this chamber lose control of the Bill and the point is that the message in respect to that Bill went to the Senate before Representative Clayton filed her Motion. That's why the Motion is not timely. Representative Weaver, for what reason do you rise?" 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day Weaver: July 8, 1993 Yesterday, We find today not on the "Thank you, Madam Speaker. Just a question. we filed 2466, Representative Johnson and I. after a full day it's not been printed. It's Calendar. It's an attempt to provide some appropriations for state workers to get paid, along with the Public Aid recipients. It's only fair."
"Representative Weaver, perhaps you forget the procedures of the chamber. A Bill may not be read the first time. You know there is a three reading requirement for all Bills in each chamber. A Bill can not be read when the House is not in Session and there was not opportunity to read the Bill in yesterday. was read in this afternoon..." Weaver: an It will be...it "Madam Speaker, we filed the Motion to discharge the Committee and to go through all the same procedures that 2464 went through in a matter of a day."
"I don't understand your point. My...the Chair's point is only that a First Reading must occur before you can take action because it is no Bill until it's read in the first time."
"Well, like the old saying, where's the beef, where's the Bill? Where is the Bill?"
"The Bill has now been read a first time, introductions and First Readings have happened. Representative Wirsing, for what reason do you rise?"
"Well, Madam Speaker, I am deeply concerned as one of the Sponsor's of this Bill as well that it was filed in here today. We are in Session, we've been sitting in Session for sometime, in recess, I will agree, but that we couldn't have brought that to the floor and dealt with it."
"Now, had the Bill been called a week ago, we've obviously been a different posture from the posture we're 7 79th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE July 8, 1993 in today. Representative Stephens, for what reas..."
"Why did you call tomorrow a travel day?"
"We anticipate that the House will go out of Session tomorrow if we do not go out of Session tomorrow, then it will not be a travel day."
"So we're anticipating that the four Leaders and the Governor have an agreement ..."
"Some people were of the view that today might be the day that we adjourn for the weekend and it was the Chair's intent and to assure the Members..."
"I think we should...out the weekend, Madam Speaker and go about the State's business."
"We are not. Representative Stephens...Representative Stephens were are happy for your editorial comments, perhaps you would like to share them with the Governor and the Legislative Leaders and so forth."
"I don't know why, you're being rude to me, but I just ask you..."
"I don't think that was rude."
"I think it was and in my opinion, I think will prevail. The fact of the matter is, that we shouldn't be here just for the weekends, we should stay here until the business is done."
"Thank you, Representative. Representative Brady, for what reason do you rise?"
"Thank you...thank you, Madam Speaker. A question on 2466. You've indicated that it was read the first time today. Do we have the Speaker's word that this Bill will be called tomorrow as it is of utmost importance."
"Representative Brady, you may remember that first of all, a Bill introduced at this point would have to 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day July 8, 1993 go to rules. Generally, you don't have a Second Reading on a Bill until it has passed Committee. The usual procedures, I'm sure, will apply to this as to all other legislation. Representative Black, for what reason do you rise?"
"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. Representative Johnson has been seeking recognition from the Chair for some time on a point of order. I would like to yield to Representative Johnson, if I might."
"I had recognized Representative Johnson, I believe twice before, but I am happy now, the Chair is delighted at this time to recognize Representative Johnson for the third time. Representative Johnson, for what reason do you rise?" Johnson, Tim: "It's only the second, but that's all right. Our Bill that would pay state employees is on...has now been filed. It's been read into the record. We have filed and filed yesterday several Motions, including a Motion to discharge rules, another Motion to discharge appropriate committees, none of which have to be on the daily Calendar. It may require unanimous consent or it may require in some cases 71 votes, but those Motions that I just eluded to don't have to be on the Calendar, so I'm asking that you call our Motion and give us an opportunity to move to discharge rules, so that we can consider this Bill to pay state employees for working for the State of Illinois and I want a roll call on that...on that Motion."
"The Motion is..." Johnson, Tim: "And they are, the Motion itself provides right on the very face of the Motion that it doesn't have to be on the Calendar and it requires unanimous consent and if somebody is going to object, let them object, but at least 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day July 8, 1993 give us the opportunity to put the Motion that doesn't have to be on the Calendar."
"Representative, the Chair has already informed the Membership that the Motion, that you are talking about, will appear on tomorrow's Calendar." Johnson, Tim: "But, the point is that it doesn't have to be and I'm asking that it be heard today because it doesn't have to be on the Calendar."
"We do have some work to do this afternoon. Representative, we are not on that order. We are not on that order. That Motion will appear on the Calendar tomorrow. We have some business before us." Johnson, Tim: "You missed my point, Madam Speaker. I said it didn't have to be on the Calendar. Your rules provide that it doesn't have to be on the Calendar, so who cares about tomorrow's Calendar. Let's call it... let's call it today and pay state employees."
"Representative, we are not on the Order of Motion. We are however on the Order of Conference Committee Reports and on that Order on page 5 of the Calendar appears the Conference Committee Report on House Bill 1974. Representative Lopez. Just a moment, Representative. For what reason, does Representative Parke rise?"
"Thank you, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I just like to interject here on a follow up on Representative Stephen's comments that I would like the leaders and the Governor to know that many of us on the Republican side are willing to stay in Session and stay through the weekend and next week if it's necessary to finish the people's business and for us to adjourn and send us home and be totally inappropriate and I think that we 10 79th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE July 8, 1993 should stay down here until we get the work of the House done and I'd like the record to say that."
"Representative Lopez. Representative Schoenberg, for what reason do you rise?"
"I like such a... Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'd like the Chair to be aware that I'm sure that I speak for all my colleagues on this side of the aisle, that we're not only willing to stay until the end of the week, we're willing to stay until the world to come in order to resolve this issue as well."
"Thank you, Representative. Representative Lopez, are you ready? Representative Lopez."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives. Conference Report 1974 amends the Medical Systems Act, it also amends the Juvenile Court Act and the Crime Victim's Compensation Act, the Fiscal Note Act, the Insurance Code, the Code of Civil Procedure and also the Criminal Code and I'll be happy to answer any questions to any of these."
"Representative Lopez moves that the House adopt the First Conference Committee Report on House Bill 1974 and on that Motion for discussion, Representative Black."
"Yes, thank you very much, Madam Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates that he will."
"Yes, Representative, the quick take provision in this Bill, is it limited to specific counties or is it granted to all 102 counties?"
"Just Cook and DuPage."
"Cook and DuPage and is it stated in this Bill for what purpose the quick take could be granted for a period of two years?" 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day
"It's for the Bensonville Ditch Control... Flood Control Project."
"So, it would be solely for flood control purposes?"
"Yes."
"It wouldn't be any for developmental purposes? It can only be used and I...is the language so stated in the Conference Committee Report that it can only be used for flood control purposes?"
"Yes, just for that particular project."
"All right. That's...that's what I thought. I wanted to make sure that that intent was on the record. One other question if you would, Representative, I noticed that there is a provision dealing with the licensing of electricians in this Bill. We have argued that before, but in the Conference Committee Report, it appears to me that this will only apply to cities between 100,000 and 200,000 in population? Is that your intent?"
"Yes. Non-home-ruled-cities."
"Right. Thank you very much. I appreciate your patience and your honesty."
"Further discussion? Representative Balthis."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates that he will."
"Representative Lopez, could you explain to us the items under the emergency services technician and what the standards are for these technicians to return to work?"
"Okay, they would have to repay the license fee. They would also be required to certification from their boss that they can actually do the job and also they will have to take a refresher course."
"Does this apply to people who have been off because of an illness or injury or is this just someone who's taking 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day time off?"
"Temporary disability." July 8, 1993
"Temporary disability, SO they have to bring their licensing up to date as well as pay any back fees and what about a release from a doctor or something of that effect?"
"Yes, that's required from whatever it takes to get off disability."
"Okay. Is there any requirement that if they've been off a period of time due to disability, that they must have a doctor's release indicating they are able to come back to work?"
"They wouldn't be eligible to get on disability unless they are cleared from a doctor."
"Okay, thank you."
"Further discussion? Representative Biggert."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Thank you. Representative Lopez, was...was this Bill before us...before as a Conference Committee or as a Bill from the House?"
"Yes, it had, but there was some technical errors SO we had to redo it over."
"So that, you had a Motion to reconsider, a couple of weeks ago?"
"No, I did not."
"Representative Biggert."
"Can you tell me? Were they just technical changes or was anything added to this Bill since we passed it the last time?"
"Two things were added."
"Could you tell me what those were?"
"In one second. The licensing for the electrician that we 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day July 8, 1993 just talked about a couple of minutes ago and...and where the county sanitary inspectors for townships, for counties that don't have a health department."
"Were those technical changes or just additions for substantive law?"
"It was an addition."
"Substantively? Thank you."
"Further discussion? Representative Kubik."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Would the Sponsor yield for a question?"
"He indicates that he will."
"Representative, could you explain the provision with respect to electricians? I know that there was a provision put in the Bill and I was just curious what that had to do? What...what is the provision? Does this set up a new licensure for electricians?"
"It allows non home rules cities to set up a immunizations regulations for electricians that are registered in a different city."
"Now, non home rule cities, did you say or home rule cities?"
"Non home rule cities between the population of 100,000 and up...100,000 to 200,000."
"So, home rule communities between 100 and 200,000."
"Non home rule?"
"Oh, okay. Why are we doing this? I mean, is there, is somebody requesting this or, you know, a particular city requesting this?"
"It affects Rockford."
"Rockford. So Rockford wishes to license electricians, is what they're asking for?"
"Correct." 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day
July 8, 1993 "Okay and, we as I recall do not do that in this We do not do it on a statewide basis, the only...?" "You're correct." state? Lopez:
"We only license plumbers."
"Correct."
"Due to the good work of Representative Giglio, I'm sure. Okay, that answers my question. Thank you."
"Further discussion? Representative Cowlishaw."
"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. particular Conference I Committee find our voting on this Report today very interesting. The fact is, if I remember correctly, and the Chair I'm sure will be more than willing to correct me if I'm mistaken. We passed this Conference Committee Report on House Bill 1974 on a day when there had not even been a Conference Committee issued, the report had not been printed, not a living soul had signed it, nobody had seen it, it had not been distributed. It just got called by the Chair and it passed with more than 80 votes, without a living soul in this House knowing what was in it. So, of course, we have to call it over again, now that we do know what's in it. Dear me, occasionally the Chair, it would appear may make an error. Thank you."
"Representative Lopez to close."
"I just move to adopt to Conference Committee Report, 1974."
"Representative Lopez has moved that the House adopt the First Conference Committee Report on House Bill 1974. All in favor vote 'aye'; opposed vote 'no'. Voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this Motion there are 91 voting 'aye', 21 15 79th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE July 8, 1993 voting 'no' and the House adopts the First Conference Committee Report on House Bill 1974 and this Bill having received the required Constitutional Majority is hereby declared passed. Representative Black, for what reason do you rise?"
"Yes, thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I have an inquiry of the Chair?"
"State your inquiry."
"Yes, on the Calendar today on page 2, there is an Order of Business called Senate Bills, Third Reading. I don't find reference to Thirf Reading in my rule book."
"Representative Black, what the Chair did face that exactly that same problem, was to change the final letter on that third word to d and then..."
"You mean we can do that, just by changing it?"
"And then...and then with leave of the House we could perhaps amend on its face the Calendar on page 2, so that it should read if we...if we accept this change, Senate Bills, Third Reading, THIRD, would that be acceptable to you?"
"It might be a job that I do not agree with. Does it take unanimous consent?"
"Yes, it does."
"Well, I think we should correct the Calendar, in that case, we'll withdraw our objection because I... I think the Calendar should reflect a Third Reading rather than a Third Reading."
"Thank you very much, Representative. The Chair agrees. For what reason does Representative Kubik rise?"
"Well, thank you, Madam Speaker. I don't think that anybody would object to changing that except perhaps a smurf, who might like the term, Third Reading." 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day Speaker Currie: rise?" July 8, 1993 "Representative Black, for what reason do you
"Yes, thank you very much. Madam Speaker. I have an inquiry of the Chair."
"State your inquiry."
"Thank you. As you can see, my colleague and close personal friend, Representative Wennlund, who is now the national spokesperson for safety in the home is somewhat concerned and has called back from his office that is accessible to handicapped. The inquiry of the Chair is Madam Speaker, we find it very difficult to wheel him into his desk, although, I see that he does have a temporary parking sticker, but the stairs here are impeding the progress of my colleague, Representative Wennlund and he wants to know if that is permissible under the American with Disabilities Act. He does not think his seat is handicapped accessible."
"The Chair will certainly check that out. My initial impression is that under the 80(a), it's when you do reconstruction that the issues raised, but we can certainly check with the engineers, the building engineers to see whether a ramp might be installed during this difficult time."
"Yes, even one that's temporary."
"Another option, Representative, is that you might see that there aren't Members on your side who are proficient at the old fireman's carry. W could park the chair at the aisle and maybe we could find a way to move, Representative Wennlund forward."
"We...we offered to do that and, in fact, did yesterday and we dropped him he said, that is not helped under the ADA. He wants a ramp or if you would have the electrician 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day July 8, 1993 simply put a voting switch back in his office, he is willing to do that."
"The alternative that's been recommended to the Chair is that we might just park him in the gallery."
"Well, he hasn't fallen for that trick in a year or two, but who knows, but he would like to come to the floor and be able to get himself in here and I'm sure he has some...some words of wisdom about how one must be very careful at home when we adjourn. When the legislative business has not been completed. I don't know what happened. I haven't heard the real story yet. I would like him to be able to come out here, so he could tell us. He is in gre...grievous pain, Madam Speaker."
"We are...well certainly the Members are sorry to hear that and we will wish Representative Wennlund well and we will see if we can find some way to permit him to join us."
"Yes, well if you will join with us in seeing that it is done, we would appreciate it. He is taking medicine on a regular basis, pain killer, on a regular basis and may be able to get through the day."
"We would certainly hope he can. Some of us thought he was on pain killer before the accident. Representative Granberg, for what reason do you rise?"
"For the information of the previous Speaker, Representative Black. It's my understanding that Representative Wennlund was entered at a Grateful Dead Concert at the World Theatre and that's how he sustained that injury."
"Representative Black."
"He may have a point there. I...now I can't remember, did we pass that Universal Reporting Act or did he have to fill 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day out a report remember." Granberg: Black: or July 8, 1993 did that Bill fail to pass, I can't "I guess we'll have to check by the law he is supposed to do that. I am sure he'd live up to that." "Well, I'm sure knowing that he's a respected Member of the Bar that he would certainly make sure that all proper forms are done and you say it was a Grateful Dead concert?"
"Yes it was, but what Bar? I'm sorry."
"The Illinois Bar or any bar in the neighborhood will do, whatever. He belongs to all accredited Bar Associations."
"Representative Lang."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I just like Representative Wennlund to know there's a line of trial lawyers at my desk waiting for the opportunity to interview him and at his convenience he could stop by here, hobble over at your convenience, Representative."
Speaker Currie: "Representative Granberg. All right, Representative Wennlund has joined us under his own steam making his way to his desk. Welcome, Representative. Agreed Resolutions."
