Would the Members please take their seats and give their attention to Mr. McCarthy."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. It's a great pleasure today to stand before the House and present House Resolution 1502. House Resolution 1502 acknowledges the... the fine work that Executive Director Larry Matejka has done for all of the people in the state in his position as executive director of the Illinois Student Assistance Commission. Larry has been the executive director since July of 1980, so he's been there over 26 years. And as such, he is the state's longest serving agency director. I see that Director Matejka is up in the chamber here today, so we're glad that you're able to be with us in the gallery. 09400134.doc 11 134th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11/16/2006 But during Larry's tenure at ISAC we've awarded over $5.7 billion to over 3 million different students during this time. And being director there for 26 years, he's actually been director for more than half of the 50-year existence of the Student Assistance Commission. All of us in the General Assembly who've had the fine relationship of working with ISAC know how cooperative Larry and his staff have always been. Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, you could always go to ISAC and get the information that was necessary, get it in a timely manner and... and also always in a friendly gesture. And he worked very well with the Higher Education Committee over the years. I know former Chairman Judy Erwin would join me in thanking Larry for his fine work for the... our committee. But the... unfortunately, Larry has decided that it's time to move along, so we'll have to find a new executive director in a couple of months. But we do want to thank him for his fine service at the State of Illinois and wish him all the best in his future decisions. So, Larry, we salute you. Please stand SO you can be recognized by the Body."
"Mr. Black."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I'm proud to be a cosponsor of this Resolution with my good friend Representative McCarthy. Ladies and Gentlemen, very seldom will you have the privilege of working with somebody of the integrity and concern and general knowledge that many of us have had over the years with working with Larry Matejka. And let me... let me just remind you of one thing. When somebody like Larry 09400134.doc 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 134th Legislative Day 11/16/2006 retires you lose a lot of institutional knowledge and a lot of institutional memory, but in Larry's case... and... and it's a concern to me... I wish him well in his retirement... but I want you to remember one thing, if you take nothing away from Kevin's Resolution and if you've not had the privilege of working with... with Larry, Larry always was an advocate for students seeking the opportunity of higher education, and he didn't let anything get in the road of that. Politics, polls, however the wind would change, Larry always advocated how can we maximize the amount of dollars that we allocate for students who need financial assistance to go to college. And with his leadership, I think ISAC is one of the best, if not the best, college financial aid programs in the State of Illinois, and most of that is due to Larry's hard work. And speaking for a number of students in my district who would not have been able to attend college without the Monetary Award Program or the very, very good student Direct Loan Program that ISAC has run and run so well, I want to thank Larry on behalf of literally hundreds of students, many of whom I know personally would not have been able to get their college education without the outstanding work of Larry Matejka and the direction and the love and the attention that he gave to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission. We will be paying... his service will pay dividends to this state for decades to come. Larry, we wish you the very best in retirement. I wish you'd stay another 26 years, but I understand that it's time perhaps to enjoy another phase of your life. Thank you very much for the effort and the work that you have done on behalf of 09400134.doc 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 134th Legislative Day 11/16/2006 higher education opportunity for people throughout the State of Illinois."
"Representative Myers."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also want to add my congratulations to Larry Matejka on his retirement. I echo everything that Representative McCarthy and Representative Black have said before me. In my years on the Appropriations Committee for Higher Education it has been a pleasure to work with Larry Matejka, and... as the executive director of the Illinois Assistance Commission. I agree that his best interest... that he has the students at their best interest in his heart when he focuses on all of the programs for the Student Assistance Commission. And I know that he's brought the agency along over the years into providing outreach to many areas, many high school students, many adult students that are interested in seeking MAP grants and other student scholarships to continue their education. We have students today that have been able to receive an education were it not for Larry Matejka and his help with the Student Assistance Commission. It's a sad day that we're going to lose your services, Larry, but it's a great day in your life, I'm sure, when you... when you finally are able to retire. But, we thank you for all of your services over the years and we're gonna miss you."
"Representative Monique Davis." Davis, M.: "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to offer my congratulations to Larry on his long years of service to ISAC. There are many students in the African- American community who certainly would not be aware of or 09400134.doc 14 134th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11/16/2006 have a possibility of going to college without the necessary information and the timely distribution of the funds from ISAC. Larry, I would ask, and I ask the Sponsor of this legislation, to include all of us as Sponsors of this Resolution to a person who has certainly served the state well. Thank you."
"Representative Turner."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Assembly. The previous speaker mentioned about some African-American students that have benefited from Larry's hard work and efforts. I'm here to attest to that. I was one of those students that back in 1969 when I walked into the financial aid's office at ISU, Larry Matejka was the guy there that helped made it possible for me to complete my higher education. And so, I'm a living proof of what Larry and his efforts and his... his willingness to help has provided. And also having worked here for the last 26 years and worked with him while he's at ISAC, I can only commend him. And as I say, he's held true from the days in 1969 when he helped me personally at the ISU financial aid's office `til today, and we just wish him well and Godspeed."
"Mr. Dunkin."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I, too, would like to express my congratulations of you going into another chapter of your life. As a Member who actually took advantage of the... of your program before I even came down here, your staff was the... were the utmost professionals. They were diligent and they made things work for me. So, Larry, I'm in... having served on the Approp Higher Education 09400134.doc 15 134th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11/16/2006 Committee a few years... when I first got down here, I listened to you and continue to have the utmost respect and positive regard for you in that you are running a tight ship and that you really appear to be enjoying your job. So, I think you give all us goose bumps when we think of good government workers who are taking care of the people here. So, I just want to thank you from having personally participated in your program. Thank you and Godspeed."
"Any further discussion? Any further discussion? Mr. McCarthy."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm sorry that the board didn't list my primary cosponsors: Representative Black, Representative Rich Meyers, Representative David Miller, and Representative Burke, but I really appreciate the suggestion by Representative Monique Davis to please add all of the Members of the House as Sponsors of the Resolution and I ask for the adoption of the Resolution at this time. Thank you."
