Clerk Bolin: “Committee Reports. Representative Bradley, Chairperson from the Committee on Personnel and Pensions, to which the following measure/s was/were referred, action taken on Wednesday, January 14, 2004, reported the same back with the following recommendation/s: 'be adopted' Senate Bill 1705.

“Mr. Clerk, what is the status on Senate Bill 1705? 1705.”
“Senate Bill 1705, the Bill’s read a second time, previously. No Committee Amendments. Floor Amendment #1, 09300081.doc 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 81st Legislative Day 1/14/2004 offered by Representative Currie, has been approved for consideration.”
“Representative Currie on the Amendments.”
“Thank you, Speaker and Members of the House. But for technical changes, date changes primarily, this legislation is a measure we have voted on before. This contains the City of Chicago’s early retirement initiative meant to help the city save approximately $15 million by virtue of early retirement options for people in the municipal and laborer’s funds. There also are some pension changes for firefighters and Chicago police uh… personnel, as well as members of the Chicago Park District pension system. All of the dollars involved in any of the liability changes are local dollars only. This is a critical key to the city’s ability to avoid layoffs and continue appropriate levels of servic… services for the city… city residents in Chicago. I’d be happy to answer your questions and I hope I will have as much support this time as we had the last time we voted on this measure.”
“The Lady offers the Amendment. The Chair recognizes Mr. Parke.”
“Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker. We wish you a great day and a great new Session that’s before us. I have a question for the Sponsor.”
“The Sponsor yields.”
“Thank you. Representative, you’ve just shelled this Bill so that new language can be put in later on… oh, Mr. Speaker, the Sponsor cannot hear me.” 09300081.doc 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 81st Legislative Day 1/14/2004
“Can I have order… order… a little order, I can’t hear… I can’t hear? Could you try again?”
Ladies and Gentlemen… Ladies and Gentlemen… Ladies and Gentlemen… I know we’ve been away for awhile and we have to share some war stories, but please take your seats and give your attention to Mr. Parke and Representative Currie. Mr. Parke.”
“Thank… Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Representative, I’ve just simply… you’ve shelled this Bill so that new language can be put in so that’s acceptable to vote the unions and the City of Chicago… is that what we have here…”
“Sub… substance… substantively it’s identical to the measure we adopted when we were here during Veto Session. The changes have to do with a couple of clarifications, technical in nature, and date changes because we are acting now, rather than November or December.”
“So… it’s not really a shell Bill, it’s substative language that uh… and you… uh… your amending it to reflect a… what is necessary to make it current.”
“This is the whole package. We’re redoing the whole package, but the changes between the old Bill and this are date changes and two technical clarifications.”
“Representative, is it your intention when this goes to Third Reading to call it right now?”
“Yes, this Bill has been read a second time, previously.” 09300081.doc 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 81st Legislative Day 1/14/2004
“So, we that will be… we’ll be working on this legislation as soon as it moves to Third Reading. We now will be prepared to vote on the legislation.”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Thank you. To the Bill. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a substantial piece of legislation for the City of Chicago as amended, and I would suggest that uh… all the members pay close attention to this Bill to make sure that this is the legislation they wish to vote for… or against. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.”
Speaker Madigan: “There being no further discussion, the question is, ‘Shall the House adopt the Amendment?’ Those in favor of the Amendment say ‘aye’; those opposed say ‘no’. The ‘ayes’ have it. The Amendment is adopted. Are there any further Amendments?”
“No further Amendments.”
“Put the Bill on the Order of Third Reading. Has the Bill been read a third time?”
“Senate Bill 1705, a Bill for an Act in relation to public employee benefits. Third Reading of this Senate Bill.”
Speaker Madigan: “The Bill is now on the Order of Third Reading. Mr. Capparelli. Mr. Capparelli on the Bill. This is the City of Chicago pension Bill. You’re the Sponsor of the Bill.”
“Thanks for the quick uh… warning here. I… is this the same Bill as 1704 that we passed last year? I ask for a favorable Roll Call, thank you.” 09300081.doc 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 81st Legislative Day 1/14/2004
“The Gentleman moves for the passage of the Bill. There being no discussion, the question is, ‘Shall this Bill pass?’ Those in favor signify… Mr. Black. Mr. Black.”
“Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?”
“Sponsor yields.”
“Representative, these uh… this Bill now embodies five new pension proposals for the City of Chicago. Can you tell me uh… how much accrued liability do these pension proposals add to the uh… City of Chicago pension funds?”
“I’m told that um… some of them are raised from 1 percent and some of them are 2 to 3 percent.”
“How many dollars of accrued liability is… is included in this Bill? It’s a substantial amount of money, about a half a billion dollars.”
“A half a billion is about correct, but these funds have such huge amounts of money at the present time that we find no problem in doing what we’re doing.”
“Well, I… I find a lot of problems when you’re… when you’re running a Bill this quickly, that deals with the Chicago Firefighters’ Pension Fund, the Chicago Police Pension Fund, the Chicago Municipal Employees’ Pension Fund, the Chicago Laborers’ Pension Fund and the Chicago Park District Employees’ Pension Fund. The Economic and Fiscal Commission says that this Bill, that’s before us on Third Reading, would increase the accrued liabilities of these five pension funds in the City of Chicago by an 09300081.doc 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 81st Legislative Day 1/14/2004 estimated $456 million. Now, the question that I want to focus on is that the Bill, in addition, reduces city funding by $56 million over the next ten years. Now, how is that done? Is the city reducing its contribution to the pension fund?”
“What I am told now, uh… Mr. Black, is the city is reducing paying some of the funds, and they expect a big… a lot of retirements at this time, and they would… the city really doesn’t seem to have any problem, even though you may see some calculations that may be wrong. The city feels that they can handle it at this time.”
“Well… I… I would… well, I mean it goes without saying that there’ll be a lot of early retirements. If you put a $700 million package out there… Absolutely there’s gonna be people take advantage of this early retirement option. But the $700 million in new benefits only impact the City of Chicago. I can’t get a straight answer out of anybody in this chamber. Will the teachers early retirement option be extended? Everybody tells me they don’t know.”
“That has nothing to do with the downstate, this is another issue.”
“I understand that. I understand that,but…”
“…but… but you did bring it up, though. And I want to say that the issue is not downstate, it is this issue.”
“I understand perfectly that this doesn’t have any impact downstate whatsoever. But what I do understand is that you’re asking me to vote, in about 20 minutes, on a $700 million benefit package for the City of Chicago. And 09300081.doc 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 81st Legislative Day 1/14/2004 I have sat here for the last three years trying to get property tax exemptions for the senior citizens who live in my district, the same exemption that a senior gets in Cook County. And your party says ‘no’. Seniors are worth more in Cook County than they are in the 101 counties. I can’t get an answer on the downstate teacher’s early retirement option extension. There’s another thing in here that just kinda gets my… it gets stuck in my craw. Chic… why do Chicago city workers get to go back work on a contract, who take an ERI? If you retired under IMRF, you can’t go back to work ever. For an employer who pays IMRF… IMRF benefits, I think that is discriminatory and yet this Bill says any employee of the City of Chicago who takes an early retirement initiative can go back to work for the City of Chicago on a contract. Now, what’s fair about that?”
“Mr. Black, but the state employees can come back 75 days a year, without losing their benefits…”
“I’m not talking about state employees…”
“Well, the City of Chicago can afford to do this under its own budget, the State of Illinois… and I’d be willing to support anything downstate as you know, but I don’t know if the State of Illinois can afford it. But if it can, I will vote for it and you know I will.”
“You… you’re a man of your word, and I know you would. But I think there’s some gross iniquities in this Bill, and I… you know, Zeke Giorgi was one of the finest people I ever had an opportunity to work with down here. And Zeke always told me ‘look, you can make a career out of bashing 09300081.doc 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 81st Legislative Day 1/14/2004 Chicago, if that’s what you want to do.’ I don’t wanna bash Chicago on this. I think it’s important to the City of Chicago. They’re in a budget crunch like every other city, but there are things that Chicago gets out of their Bills, that nobody else gets. When the IMRF, the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, had an early retirement initiative two or three years ago, the law specifically prohibits an ERI employee covered under IMRF from going back to work in any capacity, if the employer is in IMRF. Yeah, I know state employees can work 75 days. How many days would a Chicago city employee be able to work under this Bill? 75, 150, 280?”
“Representative Black, what’s that question about 75 days?”
“Under the State Employees Retirement System, if they took the early retirement initiative, they can come back and work for the state, an agency of th… state government for 75 days. I have a lady working in my district office, who’s working 75 days. How many days can a City of Chicago employee can come back and work for the city who takes advantage of this ERI?”
“I don’t think there’s any, there is not a hireback situation in the city, I am told.”
“You mean there’s no time limit, they can come back to work for contract for 50 weeks a year?”
“Right. Right. Right. That’s what I am told. Yes, Sir.” 09300081.doc 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 81st Legislative Day 1/14/2004
“All right. Thank you very much uh, Representative. Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, to the Bill. I am not going to stand up here and go off on what I think is an inherently, and becoming more inherently unfair in this process everyday. I have great respect for a firefighter, whether they live and work in Chicago, or the City of Danville, or they’re a volunteer in some rural district. I have great respect for anybody who works for any unit of government, generally speaking, there are exeptions, but generally speaking they do not make a great deal of money and I think most of them work a lot harder than people perceive them to work. But at some point I’d like to see a Bill that I think is inherently fair for workers wherever they live. In this Bill a Chicago city employee can take advantage of the early retirement initiative, and go back to work the next day for the City of Chicago for 52 weeks. How are ya’ gonna save any money if you have 800 people take advantage of the early retirement initiative, and you hire 750 back on Monday and you allow them to work the next full year. You… you…we…. We don’t allow that for state employees, we don’t allow that for IMRF, and yet were saying to employees in the City of Chicago, ‘once again, you will be treated differently than an employee under any other system. I’ll tell ya what I’ll do, Representative, I have enough respect for you, and enough respect for our late colleague, ‘Zeke’ Giorgi, I’m not going to bash the City of Chicago. These pension systems are the responsibility of the City of Chicago. 09300081.doc 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 81st Legislative Day 1/14/2004 There is no downstate, use that term loosely, there’s no downstate General Revenue Funds involved in this. I’m not gonna be responsible for this pension program in the City of Chicago. The City of Chicago taxpayers will be responsible for this program. If they think this is fair, and they think it’s right, they have to live with it and they have to pay the Bills. I’m going to vote ‘yes’, but I want to tell you something… it’s not the easiest ‘yes’ vote I’ve made, because once again I think there are things in Bills that we’re asked to vote on that give the City of Chicago and their employees just a little different imolument than any of the rest of us get, and I don’t think that’s right and I don’t think it’s fair and I will expect your vote on a IMRF Bill to let them go back to work for some extent and also to equalize the property tax exemptions between the County of Cook and the other 101 counties. It’s out of respect for the Dean of the House, respect for our friend, the late ‘Zeke’ Giorgi, I’ll vote ‘yes’ because this is the City of Chicago’s responsibility. But there will be some things I will ask for later.”
“Question is, ‘Shall this Bill pass?’ Those in favor signify by voting ‘yes’; those opposed by voting ‘no’. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question, there are 96 people voting ‘yes’, 19 people voting ‘no’. This Bill, having received a Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed.”
