"I have a couple. First, I guess, I have a parliamentary inquiry. There's a rampant rumor going around that maybe you can help us with. And as I have my… my trailer parked over at the campground and I am wondering whether I'm going to need to pay for Thursday night or whether this will be the last night I'll need to pay for, for my trailer. Because, I'm hearing that, maybe, Friday, we may not be… be around. And they charge, how… you know, I just got to make sure I have enough underwear and whether I need to do laundry tonight. So, if you can… maybe you can let us know that."

"Thank you. Thank you. Also, I have a Page, today, Maggie Thomas, from Woodstock. And I want to welcome her and her family. So, they're here. And also, I want to… I want to thank the Governor. Last night, he invited Members of the General Assembly over for a Seder. That it's been a tradition that unfortunately was broken by the prior's administration. And it was very nice. It was a lovely dinner that the Governor and the First Lady had hosted and we're very appreciative. But I want to talk about something, as well, that I just read about and it's very disturbing concerning the last administration. The gift that keeps on giving. I saw that there was $112 thousand spent on a study on the Illiana Expressway through Fitch to see whether the ratings company would believe this was a good idea. Apparently, they had a negative response, but none of us in the General Assembly have seen this study that cost the taxpayers $112 thousand. So, I'd like someone from IDOT or the General Counsel to come 09900028.docx 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 28th Legislative Day 3/25/2015 to our Committee in State Government this afternoon at 1:30 in Room 118 and please provide us with that… with that study or explain why they can't provide it because I think the taxpayers in the State of Illinois ought to know how their tax dollars are being spent.

"House Bill 2416, a Bill for an Act concerning education. Third Reading of this House Bill."
"Leader Durkin."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Bill is a Bill we've seen in this chamber before. This Bill will allow Lyons Township High School, which is in my district, the ability to disconnect from the school treasurer's office that is a part of the Lyons Township School Treasurer Office. They're currently being billed for services that they do in-house. They no longer need these services. We have done this in the past for a number of school districts, particularly in Cook County. And I'm asking for a favorable vote."
"Mr. Franks."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minority Leader yield?"
"The Leader yields." 09900028.docx 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 28th Legislative Day 3/25/2015
"Representative, is there any cost to the state should this pass for… with the… with the disconnect of this jurisdiction?"
"No."
"Okay. Why do you want to do it?"
"Why? Because this is an outdated form of government. The township's school treasures are only… they're unique to Cook County alone."
"Okay."
"The offices were statewide up until 1968. They were eliminated outside the state. Some school districts, it provides a valuable service for them. Doing payroll, account receivables, account… I got the list here… a lot of clerical functions that smaller schools within certain parts of Cook County don't have the capacity to undertake. But Lyons Township High School is a very sophisticated high school. They're being… currently being billed a quarter of a million dollars a year for services that they are doing themselves."
"Wow."
"It's a… it's… this have been going on for a while. And so, I think it's the responsible thing to allow them to no longer be under the auspices of this form of government. We've done this in the past for the Oak Park, River Forest School District 200, Oak Park Elementary School 97, River Forest School Districts, Cicero School Districts, all in Cook County who can provide these services on their own without having to be… which to me is, I think, would be a challenge… it would be… it would be a problem with, you know, part of their tax base. What they have to do is they have to levy their taxes 09900028.docx 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 28th Legislative Day 3/25/2015 and provide… and pay these services for things which they can do on their own."
"I think it makes sense. Should we go farther? Should we get rid of this office? Because it seems like it's a vestige of the past. It's probably not needed in today's day and age."
"I… I will say, personally, that I agree with you. And we have to come to some type of conclusion. I would actually… I've thought about conducting some type of broader inquiry into the ethicacy of this type of government throughout Cook County. And I do… as I said earlier, for schools such as Lyons Township High School and also some very good solid high schools throughout Cook County, they can do these services on their own. But I do know that there are smaller school districts who rely upon this service. But personally, I wish I could, but this has been… they've been trying this for years. And for whatever reason, there has been no success on trying to eliminate that office. But I will give you my word today that I plan to have a broader inquiry into the ethicacy, as I stated, of the township's school treasurers in Cook County. It makes sense."
"Well, you're word is good with me."
"Thank you."
"And I'll support your Bill. I just want to say tomorrow Lieutenant Governor is conducting the first of our hearings for the consolidation commission and this might be something that we should address. So, perhaps, you could have someone from your staff perhaps… give us a white paper on that and I can have it given to our committee tomorrow, which starts at 4:00." 09900028.docx 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 28th Legislative Day 3/25/2015

Therefore, those interest moneys have not… they've… they're locked into their principle fund.
