Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senatez Senate Bill 28, basically starked life comin: out of my district, through a district problem: whereby one of my local school boards -- their secretary saw fit to really provkde some compensation for themselves that was rather outlandish. In working with the Illinois Associakion of School Boards, we came up with this bill, and all khis bill does, is puts a five-hundred-dollar cap on annual compensation for school board secretaries, khether they be members of the board or nonmembers. To my knowledge it's agreed to by allz it's supported by a1l school groups, and there is no opposition. So I would appreciate your favorable vote.

Thank youy Mr. President. This bill was heard in the Elementary and Seeondary Education Committee. It Was suggested by a school district in my Senate district, and what is does, it allows for the construction or remodeling of a school building without referendum, but only When no tax dollars are involved. Thatês no tax levy, no bonding that wâll be repaid by taxes, it's only when it's done from, gifts as is intended by the local school district, which has a citizens committee, whieh is seeking to raise money for a building.

7 ! STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT ! 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 Senator Hawkinson. SENATOR HAWKINSON: Thank you, Mr. President. Two years ago, the Legislature passed a law regardin: the Eheft offense, which made the dollar amount of the property stolen an element of the offense. And we did that two years ago because the Appellate and Supreme Courts indicated that there Was confusion in the statutes about whether the value of the property stolen should be an element to be proved at the time of the offense, or only considered at sentencing. We corrected that situakion, but we 've now determined that the same situation exists When you have the offense of criminal damage to property, that there is confusion as to whether or not that is an element of the offense. This bill clarifies it in exactly the same way that we clarified it in the theft statute, which provides that the value, thak is whether it is over or under three hundred dollars, is an element of the offense to be proven at trial. It was heard in the Judiciary Committee and passed eight to nothinq , and I would ask for your support for Senate Bill l23. PRESIDENT ROCK: Is there any discussion? Any discussion?

Thank you, Mr. President. The analysis in on the Republican side is not quite correct. don't know about the other side of the aisle. This is a piece of property that was bought -- there are two pieces of property that are adjacent to each other. 0ne is on the -- on the road, the frontage. And then there's a part in the back. The school district owns the property that is adjacent to the road, and was qoing to build a school there, so the park district picked up the back part of this property to build a park.

Senate Bill 385. (Secretary reads title of the bill) Appropriations -- there are no committee amendments. PRESIDENT ROCKJ Any amendments from *he Floor?
Senators Welch, Rea, Severns and others offers -- offer Amendment No. 1.
Senator Welch, on Amendment No.
Thank youw Mr. President. Amendment No. 1 has been passed 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2y 1989 out. What Amendment No. 1 will do, is add thirty million dollars to the Common School Fund . After reviewing the balance in the Lottery over the past year, the Lottery has done much better than We estinated at the end of last fiscal year. So with this extra moneyy what we want to do with this amendment is get it to the schools as soon as possible, and this amendment will provide thirty million dollars to do so. Pifteen nillion dollars of the thirty, will go towards the State Aid Pormula; seven and a half million dollars will go for the regular transportation line; and seven and a half million foi special education personnel reimbursment. Be qlad to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Senator Welch has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 1 to Senate Bill 385. Discussion? Senaeor Maitland.
Thank you very much: Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senator Welch, I -- I understand khat you are doing here, but I think there is one very important thing that needs to be recognized here: and and quite frankly, wedre going ko recommend the defeat of -- of -- of this amendment and -- and add one -- later. This Will be the first time that we have -- we have taken money from the Common School Pund and -- and taken it to General Revenue. This Body stood rather strongly, I think, a couple of years ago, in suggesting that all the money from the Lottery need to be dedicated to the Common School Fund, and -- and I think this is extremely importanE that we recognlze this, and the amendment that we w;ll offer a bit later will strike the last part of your amendment, where We are taking the money from the Common School Fund and -- and putting it in the General Revenue Fund.
PRESIDINC OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Al1 right. Purther discussion? Senator Welch. 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989
I Would just point out that the amendment is not as dire as has been portrayed. The money that goes eo the Ceneral Revenue Fund kill be used for schools by way of transportation grants. So it's not as 'if we're sending it out there for something else.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland.
Senator Welch: I'm not arguing that point at all, and -- and hopefully it would go theres but that -- the 1aW simply doesn't permit that, and I think this is a dangerous precedent to set. I1d hate to see us disagree on this; this is a -- this is a -- this is a policy tssue, this is -- this is actually what the laW is. We simply don't want to be on record, it seems to me, as appropriating money from the Common School Fund into General Revenue.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Al1 right. Further discussion? Senator Maitland, was that a question? Senator Maitland.
I -- I guess it Was a comment, I guess just to close, Mr. President. It's extremely important that we recognize What We are doing. I don't want to be on record as takin: money away from education, and thae's what, in my judgment, ik seems to me weire doing. We ought be very careful about that. This General Assembly and the Governor stood very stronq on thisg and every school district is the State has been here hammering on us to make sure that all Lottery money goes to education. Let's assure that it does. And let's do it through the Common School Fund, like the law says we must do it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Al1 right. If not -- al1 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legkslative Day May 12, 1989 right. Senator Brookins.
Thank you, Mr. President. Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Welch Will yield. Senator Brookins.
Yesz thank you. Senator Welch, will you please explain to me# you're not taking money away from the schools, you're adding money to the School Fund? Would you give me an explanation?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
Yes. What we are doing is adding thirty million dollars for school funding this year, with this amendment. Thatfs correct. We're not Kaking money akay from schools; we are giving ehirty million dollars to schools out of the Lottery.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Brookins. Senator Brookins.
Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Al1 right. Further discussion? Senator Carroll.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I rise in support of the amendment, because believe there may be some confusion as to hoW schools are funded in Illfnois. We alà know that the Lottery has produced additional income this year. Significant additional income, because of the tremendous publicity in the rollover games, that has caused the State to enjoy a windfall. We al1 know also that the public 17 STATE Or ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX RECULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 believes that that money goes, in fack, for school funding. Additionally to that, however, we also know that the Way in which schools are funded is by an allocation in the Common School Pund and an allocation of General Revenue dollars. If We do nothing, then these extra dollars Will not go directly to the schools. These extra dollars will sit there to be used in General Revenue to build the bank balance. People believe when they buy tickets, the profits go to schools. If We donêt add to the allocakion ou* of the Common School Pund, they really do not go to the schools. This amendment will give the noney to the schools. Make no mistake aboue it. The question is Whether the schools get it# or the bank balance. This amendment giveG it to the schools.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. Will the sponsor yield for a queskion?
PRESIDING QFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor indicates he Will yield. Senator Fawell.
If I understand this, Senator Welchs this is Lottery money we are talking about, that has accumulated. There is a surplus and -- and we are going to use it for schools. Am I right?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
That's correct, Senator. PRESI. DING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell.
What I also understand: though, is that we have passed a laW that says a11 Lottery money goes into the Common School Fund. Am I righk? 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legàslative Day May l2, 1989
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
That's correct: Senator.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell.
And what you are doing is you are putting half of it into the Common School Fund, and ehe other half you are putting into a Transportation Fund. And IIm not saying that, you know , khat that's not a good thing. What I am saying is, I don't think we can do it. We have passed a laW that specifically says we put it into the Common School Fund. That's one pocket. There's a different pockety that talks about transportation, and unless you want to qo contrary to what the law is# whieh frankly I think is going to confuse a 1ot of people - because most people do not understand there are different budgets set up for the schools - and -- and what you are doing, although your intent may be Well-founded, is nevertheless against the present law that we, as an Assemblyr have passedy and we have said the money goes to *he Common School Fund, and if -- if you find language that says otherwise, would like to see it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Purther discussion? Senator Severns.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I don't think my district is unique: when the most often asked queseion is, ''Where do our Lottery dollars go?'' What this amendment does, ls force us to keep the commitment, that our Lottery dollars go to help fund the classrooms of this Skake. This amendmenk forces us to put our money where our mouth has been. Revenues in Lottery are up# We must make certain that those dollars qo to our schools. 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GEXERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2e 1989 A vote Yes on this amendment is to say that we are going to keep that commitment ehat We dve made, wedre going to put the extra revenue from Lottery into the classrooms of this State. A vote No is Eo say we're not going to keep that commitment: We 're going to let our year-end balance build up. I think We need to keep the commitment, to the children, to the parents of this Stater that when Lottery revenues are up# those dollars are qoin: to the classrooms of this State. Thatls the purpose of this amendment. I urqe an Aye vote. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Jones. SENATOR JONES: Thank you, Mr. President. Would khe sponsor yield? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SERATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor indicates he wàl1 yield. Senator Jones. SENATOR JONES: Xes. Senator Welch, that portion and half portion that you have going to the School Code, pursuant to Section 4-13-01, is that the transportation portion of the School Code? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch. SENATOR WELCH: Yes, it is. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones. SENATOR JONES: Is that the portion of the School Code khat does reimbursements to parents of children under the 1aw that we passed, so that they can get reimbursed for their transportation, or is that -- or is this amount goinq to the school districts to reimburse them for transportation of students? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 20 ô STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 Senator Welch.
Thks reimburses school dkstrkcts, not parents.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.
Well, I I rise in opposition to the amendment, sinply because the laW specifically states that it goes into the School Code. And by you changing and puttkng this in the reimbursement to school district, that is -- that does not fall true to the -- to the agreement as a relief to the Lottery. feel that should go -- go into the Common School Fund: and from that point al1 the other General General Revenue will go toward the the -- transportation. Now if it Was going back to reimburse those parents, pursuant to the 1aw that we passed a feW years ago, then perhaps I could be supportive of that portion. But I can't be supportive with it not qoing into Common School Fund.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Schaffer.
Wellr I think understand What Senator Welch is attempting to do, and I know what the amendment that follows is attempting to do: and I suspect if I did a computer run, Which youfre so fond of, I probably ouqht to be for this amendment. But I1m nok goin: to be, because don't want to have to stand up and say, ''Wel1, all the Lottery money qoes into the common School Fundg except occasionally we take money out of the Common School Fund and we put it in khe General Fund, and sometimes we spend some of that money on education.'' I think it's a bad precedent. I think most of us have had a hard tlme explaining where the Lottery money goes. The simplest thing is to put it in the Common School Fund, which goes through the formula. That's the easiest Way to explain 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May 12, 1989 it, and if we stark pulling money out of the Common School Fundy for any reason, youdre going to spend the rest of your life explaining it. The bottom line is that we did pass a laW to put the Lottery money there, and While I1m not terribly enamored with the School Aid Formula that currently exists: it is a commitment we made to the people of this State, and while you could argue we 're -- we're shifting money from one pocket in the education community to another pocket in the education community . why not just leave it all in the pocket that we promised we were Qoing to put it in? Row many time do we have to change directions?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Berman.
Thank you, Mr. President. I think there is a lo* of confusion; let me try to clarify the alternatives that are presented to us this morning, as I understand talking with Senator Welch and with Senator Maitland. Senator Welch is saying that we take thirty million dollars from the Lottery Fund and We put thirty million dollars into school funding. Furthernore, Senator Welch is following the general formula that We followed in our allocation of school money last June. And that is to take rouqhly half the money that's available for schools and leaving it for the General State Aid distribution, and *he other half for cateqoricals. However, I want to make -- make it specific thak -- thak there's only two categoricals that are funded under the Welch amendment. Half of the half that's going to catagoricals is qoing to transportatàonz the other -- the other half of the half, is going to Special Ed reinbursement. Now the Maitland amendment - and just shake your head if I'm properly describing it - would not -- would not divide khe thirty million between General State Aid and categorical. It Would leave it al1 in the...
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSIMNLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28*h Legislakive Day May l2, 1989 That's the wrong explanation.
... a11 riqht, then -- then, What I would ask, Mr. President, When I'm done, is perhaps if we could just allow Senator Maitland to clarify his amendment, so that we understand What we're voting on. I'm qoing to stand in support of the Welch amendment, and the reason I say that is this: the funds that are -- there is no doubt an Aye vote is puttin: Lottery money for schools. I don't Want anybody to say that that's not true. It's true. An Aye vote is putting Lottery money for schools, and Wedre following the same general distribution that we followed last year, of half of the money going to General State Aid, the other half for categoricals. The only difference, as I view this, is that We are singlin: out the two largest -- general -- the two largest categorical grants for funding out of this money. I don't have a printout. I can't tell you Which district gets better or Worse, but it certainly follows the general approach thae We have taken in the past, regarding school money. If you want to say that we are allocatin: the Lottery proceeds to schools, we are doing that by voting Aye. I intend to vote Aye.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Senator Maitland.
Thank you -- thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate, and Senator Berman, an explanation of the amendment that will follow. First of allg we -- we understand and supporE the first the first part of Senator Welch 's amendment which does appropriate the fifteen million dollars. We have ko understand that as the Lottery qrows, the receipts'to the State grow, the Common School Fund grows as a consequence of that. And We have appropriated X number of dollars in 18-8 of the School Code that funds the School Aid Formula. So as the school -- as a 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMRLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 Common School Fund grows because Lottery receipts are greater, whatever it takes from General Revenue to makch the total appropriation in 18-8, which is the School Aid Formula, the General Revenue Fund grows, because the Common School Fund has grown, so it take less money. In theory -- in theory: and in my judgment as well, the -- the -- the two parts of the transportation formula that we are funding: the money should be there in the General Revenue Fund now, because it has grown substantially, because of increased receipts. But what Senator Welch's amendment goes on to do: is to take fifkeen million dollars out of the Common School Fund and allow that to go someplace else. If you really want to...to do it right, then, another fifteen million dollars to the Common School Fund is the Way you increase funding through the -- through General State Aid. - - I think, Senator Welch, this is a dangerous departure from what -- what the law is. Applaud what youdre doingy but legally we can't do it. It's just simply Wrong.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Al1 right. Further discussion? Senator Rock.
Thank youy Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I too, rise in support of this amendment, and I think the premise under which we are all operating is that We've all read in the paper that the Lottery has enjoyed a windfall, and we ought to make that money available, now. Instead of the estimate that we had from Ehe Lottery Department and the Bureau of the Budget thaE was five hundred and fifty, lt's now goin: to be five eighty. So what we are saying by virtue of this amendment is yes, we want to use that thirty, and we want to use it for schools. And every year and within the next month, we will again engage in the argument that the formula is inequitable; nobody likes the formula. Upstate, downstatey suburban; rural - nobody likes it. 24 STATE OP ILLINOIS 8ith GENENAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May 12, 1989 So what we are saying is, take half that windfall, please, and put it into the Common School Fund ror general distribution: and take halfs as *e try to do with the cakegoricals and the formula, and put it into two admittedly underfunded categoricals - Transportation Reimbursement and Special Ed. I don't see anything wrong with this. There is no one that can walk out of here and say we haven'k made that thirty million dollars specifically available to schools, which is everybody's understandinq. I would urge an Aye vote on this amendment.
PRESIDING OPFICCR: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator DeAngelis. Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Berman, I think that we ought to oppose this for the very reason that you support have observed, while you were trying to explain What's going on with this amendment, the look on the eyes of the Members of this Body, and 1, along with many others, had a look of consternation and confusion. looked in the press box, and they were scratching Eheir heads, too. Now can you imagine what we have to do when we go back to our districts? I have spent a good time of my campaign time trying to explain where the Lottery money goes. In fact, my seventy-seven-year-old mother still thinks that it's buried in somebody's backyard that we are not making that available. And now, a1l we're doinq is goin: to confuse the public a1l over again. Because if wedre confused ourselves, can you imagine whak the public is goin: to be like when we pass out this amendment? Now, Senator Welch, we are not opposed to What you are doing. But let me just tell you the primary beneficiary of the Loktery money is not khe Common School Fund' because the more that goes in there, the less that comes out of General Revenue. The primary benefieiary is the General Revenue Fund. 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 And if we're going to qive the thirty million, let's do it the right way, and let's be able to go back home and say We did give that additional money. We will not have to spend half of our time explaining hoW we looted the Common School Fund. And frankly, all we have to argue here is basically the pride of authorship. Senator Maitland had an amendment that's going to give that money to the people -- to the schools. And I don't think the pride -- the pride of authorship, is a price great enough Eo have to go back home and explain this thing after we do this.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIQ) All right. Further discussion? Por a first timer Senator Sehuneman. All right. For a second time, Senator Brookins.
Thank you. I've been wrestling With Lottery now for six years, every since I've been a Member of the General Assembly. And I've talked all over the United States concerning Lottery in Florida and other places where it went 1n. And one of the biggest tricks, and as our late mayor would have said, ''Hocus-pocus Dominocus,'' is that Wedre not really, in essence: giving anything from Lottery to -- to educatkon. What wedre doing is takkng it out of one pocket and putting it in another pocket. And then going out and telling our constituency that Lottery is going to education. It is not, in reality. In reality, what we are doing is supplementlng the General Revenue Fund with Lottery money. If we were serious about what we're doinq, we Would fund education to the level of whatever welre funding And Ehen takg Lottery money and place it in on top of that, as an add-on, or as a supplement. This is what we really, really should be doinq. And now, what we are attempting to do, is play a further trick in both the amendment - this one here and the one coming up - a further trick on the people of the State of Illinois. Wedre going to Eell them that we are funding education of the Common School Fund with 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENEQAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Leqislative Day May l2, 1989 Lottery money. And in effect, we're still not. Wedre going to separate a Way, fifteen or half, fifteen million dollarsg and put it in the Common School Fund, and then siphon away another fifteen million dollars for transportation, for other folks outside of where it really should be qoing. I think that this is wrong, and we will have explanations to make al1 over. In my community, in the City of Chicago, they don't believe that we dre funding education, period. From the look of the schools and what is happening, welre not fundinq education at all. I think this is dangerous, this is wrong, and this is trickery. Therefore, I will have to stand in opposition of this amendment. And the one that follow.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Al1 right. Further discussion? For a third time, Senator Maitland.
I apologize, Mr. Presidentz and I -- I I really am concerned about the confusion, not only on this Floore but the confusion that the media mighE -- might get from all of this. I'm going to simply try one more timey and Senator Rock, we can accomplksh what you want to accomplish, but We can do it tbe right Way. First of all, the fifteen million dollars nobody understands. The second part, the 27.5 million dollars, it can be said that that's Lottery money, because the General Revenue Fund had grown by that amount, because the demand is less on it. So because the Lottery has done well, transportakion's qoing to benefit ftom that with Senator Welch's amendment. But what the third part of his amendment does, is to take then fifteen million dollars from the Common School Fund, and put it in the General Revenue Fund. And that's where we have our disaqreement. It's nok a political disagreement. It's just a I I thtnk it's don't know what kind of a disagreement it is, but it is something 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May 12, 1989 We oughk not do. Senator Rock, if you Want to do What you want to do, then appropriate another fifteen million dollars from the General Revenue Fund to the Common School Fund. Then we accomplish that. But I don't Want to be on record as pulling money out of the Common School Pund, and putting it in the General Revenue. That's absolutely, fundamentally Wronq. And I would urge opposition to this amendment. PRESIDING OFFICER; (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Further discussion? Senator Jones, for a second time.

Will the sponsor mind taking khis bill out of the record temporarily?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
-- I think it's pretty cleary what the amendment says. I think tha: it's a -- argument over where the money comes from . Ik's a11 coming out of the School Pund, and it's all going to schools.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.

Itds Senator Rea, Senator Demuzio: Senator Donahue, Senator Watson, Senator Woodyard and Senator Ralph Dunn. What khis amendment does is makes an appropriation to the State Board of Education. Eight hundred and twenty-eight thousand dollars is required to complete the Common School Pund payments to the school districts for the 1986 farm assessment hold harmless grants. We passed legislation in 1986, and made a commitment to the school districts and the people of the State of Illinois that we would pick up the shortfall for two years. And that's what this does; it really honors that commttment We made when We passed that legislation.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Diseussion? Senator Watson.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in support of the amendmene. It is an obligation that We made ln 1986, and unfortunately: this revenue has been in a -- appropriations bill before, and got to the Governor's desk and unfortunately, the Governor has vetoed 29 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSRMRLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legkslative Day May l2, 1989 this in the past. I think we need to send a message to the Governor: that this is an important obligation the General Assembly made to the people of this State and the schools and -- and the respective districts of this State: and it needs to be signed.

SECRETARY HAWKER: Senator Netsch offers -- offers Ploor Amendment No. 1. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Netsch. SENATOR NETSCH : Thank you, Mr. President. The amendmenk that is being offered todayy provides for khis incidentally deals with Private Activity Bond Allocation Act. The basic bill substitutes a council for the Covernor's executive order for the general administration of it. The amendment also deals with the question of home rule units and their reallocation of any unused volume cap. The amendment is extremely similar to a bill that Senator Topinka had also introduced separately, Senate Bill 899 and I had spoken to her about this. She has no objection to my adding the amendment also to this bill. Basically what ik sets up is a 56 I . I STATE OF ILLINOIS I 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 I procedure by which the home rule units who have a guaranteed bond cap, will report to the State, and when there is unused -- capacity after a certain date: it can then be used by the State, that is reallocated. In no way ak all does it ak all impinge on khe full authoriky of khe home rule units to protect and make full use of their bond cap, which is guarankeed by the federal act. Ik just sets up a procedure so tbat none of it goes unused at the end of the year. I would move the adoption of Amendment No. 1 to Senate Bill 213. PRESIDENT ROCK: All right. Senator Netsch has moved the adoption of Amendment No. l to Senate Bi11 213. Discussion? Senator Keats. SENATOR KEATS: Thank -- thank you, Mr. President. Will the sponsor yield? PRESIDENT ROCK: Sponsor indicates she will yield. Senator Keats. SENATOR KEATS: Asking a -- on this bondg Private Bond Fund you're talking about. Are We in reality simply taking local bonding -- local unused bonding authority and giving it to the State? Are We not in reality, increasin: State bonding authority? I don't have an analysis. Explain that to me aqain, 'cause if that's What you're doing, I don't like the idea. If it's a simply shifting it around, then do me a favor, please reexplain. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Netsch. SENATOR NETSCH: In no way does it inarease the authority of the State of Illinois to issue bonds in the sense that We# the Legislature, still control that by statute. What we are dealing wieh is a differenk matter. There are caps on the amount of -- so-called Private Activlty Bonds that can be issued by each State, pursuant 57 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislakive Day May 12, 1989 to a formula that Congress has set. If the bonds are to be tax exempt, we can always issue the bonds if theydre taxable in any evenk. There is a complicated formula. In Illinois khere is a particular wrinkle because the congressional statute was written to carve out the protection of home rule units With respect to the total State available bond cap. A1l this procedure does, is to set up -- a11 this amendment does is to set up a procedure under which tbe -- if the home rule units do not use the cap that is available to them , it becomes known to the State, and the State can reallocate the authority to use it, either to State agencies or to non-home rule units who may no lonqer have adequate cap under the congressional -- so it doesn't really let anybody issue the bonds, it just deals with hoW we use this total maximum cap that is now available to Illinois for issuing tax-exempt Private Activity Bonds.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Reats.
Thank youy Mr. President. I appreciate your explanation, and if I could quoee a good loyal friend of many many of ours, Chairman Dan RostenkoWski of the Ways and Means Com ittee. Dawn, the reason the federal government has a hundred some billion dollar budget deficit on the record and another hundred some billion dollars off the recordy is because all the things we do to take away federal revenue. NoW this isnêt taking away Stake revenue, buk you are in -- in reality simply maximizinq revenue q loss at the federal level, and I admit in Illinoi.s we don 't bother to offend Congress a whole 1ot, because they don 't give us much, but, unless I'm completely misunderstanding you. and since I have talked to Chairman Rostenkowski on this exact point, What you 're doing is simply :uaranteeing the maximum revenue loss from the N State of Illinois in terms of revenues for the Federal Government. 58 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SCSSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legkslatkve Day May l2, 1989 That's how he would interpret it# and probably would say, 1'Do you really want ko do this?''
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Netsch.
No, I think youdre misreading whak is being done here. The restrietion on the amount of bonds that can be issued in this category, the so-called Private Activityz is already there. It's now down to fifty dollars per capika for a1l states, including Illinois, and that has cut in -- oh, approximately cut in half, the amount of tax-exempt Private Activity Bonds that can be issued by the State of Illinois. In no way are We interfering with that. A11 We are saying is ehat sometimes the -- the amount that is specifically reserved in a very unusual fashion for home rule units only in the State of Illinois, sometimes that is not known to the State level of government, so ehat it can be properly reallocated. We do not in any way increase the amount that can be issued.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Are We done? Wedre not done? Senator Keats. SENATOR KEATSJ Once more, Dawn, 1et me please reexplain your bill to you. What you are doing is taking lapsed fund spending from category X, in this case Home Rule Bonding Authorityy and taking those lapsed fund spending, i. e. the bonds, and shiftin: into cakegory Y to make sure that those lapsed funds are spenE. That's What Chairman Rostenkowski is complaining about.

ïes. Point of order, Mr. President.
Yes.
If you recall, when We were discussing moving Senate Bill 489 85 STATE 0P ILLINOIS 86th GENEDAL ASSEMBLV REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May 12, 1989 from 2nd Reading to 3rd Readin: and there was a little discussion on whether or not there was a committee amendment. said there wasn't. The Clerk said there was. They brought me an amendment. I said fine and a11 that, and it -- it is still our understanding that there is not an amendment on that bill. So it's my understanding it was a problem on the Secretary's Desk or somewhere a mistake, and they are Willing to clear up the paper work, but that bill should be reported as coming straight out of committee with no amendment.
All right. I'm told there was a clerical error, a transposition of numbers, so I think what we can do is accommodate that by -- by reconsidering the vote by which that commiktee amendment was adopted. So with leave of the Body: Senator Topinka has asked that Senate B1ll 4-8-9 which is currently on 3rd Reading as amended, be returned to the Order of 2nd Readinq for the purpose of Tabling an amendment that didn't belong there, and -- is leave graneed? Leave is granted. On the Order of Senate Bills 2nd Readin: then is Senate Bill 489, and Senator Topinka: having voted on the prevailing side, moves to reconsider the vote by which Amendment No. l *as adopted in error. Al1 in favor of the motion to reconsider indicate by saying Aye. All opposed. The Ayes have it. The voke ts reconsidered. Senator Topinka noW moves to Table Amendment No. l to Senate Bill 4-8-9. Al1 in favor of the motion indicate by sayinq Aye. A1l opposed. The Ayes have lt. Amendment No. l is Tabled: since it was ateached in error. NoW, Madam Secretary, are there any further amendments to 489?

Senator Netsch, on Committee Amendment No . 1.
Thank you, Mr. President. Committee Amendment No. l is fairly extensive. Some of it is quite technical and other parts of it do some clarification and expansion of the provisions dealing with non-cash bids. The basic statute deals with the tax delinquent property and the so-called scavenger sale. I could go throuqh the fourteen or fkfteen separate provlsions of Ehe amendment, Which I will not do because I think theydve been a made -- made available to staff on both sides. I would point out that in larqe part they reflect some concerns, particularly with respect to the non-cash bid procedures ehat were raised by the Cook County Board, and they have been carefully gone through by the Task Force on -- Task Force on Tax Delinquent Properties, Which had been responsible for 88 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENEQAL ASSEMRLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May 12# 1989 producing the basic bill itself. So I think while extensiver they are quite acceptable to a1l of those wholve been involved in this projeck, and I would move the adoption of Amendment No. 1 to Senate Bill 588.

The deadline for applying for those funds came and went, and there were seventy-two communities who applied who underestimated the cost of their sewer treatment repair. What this amendment would do, it would increase 93 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2e 1989 the Build Illinois fundin: by eighty-six million dollars, and allow for the seventy percent grants. The amount specifically in this amendment is forty-eight million two hundred thousand dollars. This will cover municipalities throughouk the State of Illinois.

Senator Etheredge. SENATOR ETHEREDGE: Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in strong opposition to this amendment.

The purpose of this is to try to get a handle on the ever-growing amount of leqal expenses in State Government.

Amendment No. 7 offered by Senators Welch and Thomas Dunn.
Senator Welch, on Amendment No.
Thank you, Mr. President. When the Director of the Department of Children and Family Services appeared in the committee over the past few weeks, what he said was he was going to transfer money out of downstate distrkcts to Chicaqo for personal services to even up the caseload between Chicago and downstate districts. Basically, what this is going to do is to restore khat money for the downstate districts, so that we don't end up with a shift of some thirtyvfour jobs, I believe it is, to the Chicago area.. I Would move for adoption of the amendment.
All right. Senator Welch has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 7 to Senate Bill 385. Discussion? Senator Etheredge.
I would just point out, there are a number of people on this side of the aisle that have an interest in this, too.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. As introduced in the supplemental, the Department of Financial Institutions had indlcaeed a shortfall of some fàfty thousand dollars. After discussions, they indicated to us that their shortfall was only thkrty-nine thousand s:x bundred. This would reduce it to that numberr and I would nove its adoption.
(machine cutoffl... All right. Senator Carroll has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 8 to Senate Bill 385. Discussion? senator Etheredge.
I rise in opposition to this amendment. I would just point out that during the recess, *e had a conversation with representatives of the Department. They indieate *hat, in fact, they will need more than the thirty-nlne thousand six hundred dollars thak this amendment proposes to spend. That they Will, in fact, need something very close to the fifty thousand four hundred dollars which is in the oriqinal bill. I Would also point out that these this expenditure is not General Revenue Fund money, bu* it is money which is contributed by the various credit unions themselves. I would suggest that we -- that this amendment be defeated .
A1l right. Senator Carroll, to close on Amendment No. 8. SENATOR CARROLL) Thank you, Mr. President: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate . Apparently, and we had offered to sit with you during that brief 99 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ZSSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT i 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 recess and did not; we were up there waiting. This is not what the Department had told us earlier or our projections of their spending. Secondly, as you know, Senator Etheredge, these are General Revenue Fund feeder funds. And anythàng not spent goes into the General Revenue. Again, tt's not a big amount, it is What, however: they projected spending. I don't see why we would waste money, and I would move adoption of Amendment No. 8. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Carroll has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 8 to Senate Bill 385. Senator Etheredge has requested a roll call. Those in favor of the amendment will vote Aye. Opposed Will vote Nay. The voting is open. Have al1 voted who wish? Have all voted who wish?

PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Carroll, on Amendment No. 9. SENATOR CARROLL: Thank you: Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This one is to delete a transfer from Seate Police, because the State Police Departsent has not used the statutory tWo percent transferability. This would not impact their operations, but merely make them account for how they are spending their money. Several people in boEh Chambers have had concerns about the way in which State Police have been operating, and since they have not used their transferability, We presume the beteer way to go is to say .use your transferability now, and if you need additional monies later, come and identify them, so that we can have a better handle on -- on how funding would :o. So this would not, in effect, affect how they intend to spend it, except require 100 ! STATC 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 them to come back to us should they need more. This Would merely say, use your transferability.

Senator Welch.
Thank you, Mr. Presidenk. Amendment No. 10 is -- revenue neutral. What it does is it changes language in Senate Bill 385: that said - one of the lines said i: would include prior years' costs. What welve done is specifically delineate the amounk thates going to be paid for implementation of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

Thank you: thank you, Mr President, Members of the Senate. Just a question of the Secretary. This is the one that does deal With the schools, is that correct?
Indieate -- you want to get a copy of this? Yeah, yes.
SRA8550385jkbgam. Very good.
Senator Maitland, on -- Amendment No. l1.
Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Mr. President. This is the amendment we talked about this morning. It would be identical to the one offered by -- by Senator Welch, except for the fact khat is does not appropriate the fifteen million dollars from the Common School Fund into General Revenue. It is my understanding that there may be an amendment to follow here khak resolves some of the discussion we had this morning, and I would move for the adoption, Mr. President.
All right. Senator Maitland has moved the adoption of AmendmenE No. 11 to Senate Bill 385. Discussion? Senator Welch.
Well, I had a question of the sponsor, Mr. President, if he dll yield.
Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Welch.
Senator Maitland, thls is thirty million dollarse or is it l02 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMNLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legkslatkve Day May l2r 1989 fifteen million dollars from the Lottery Fund?
Senator Maitland.
Senakor Welch, it is -- it is fifkeen million dollars into the Common School Fund, number one: and the other khe -- the -- the 7.5 and the 7.5 come from the General Revenue Fund.
Senator Welch.
Well, I have an amendment I'm going to offer later in this bill ko add an additional fifteen nillion dollars. The purpose of my initial amendment Was to point out that we had thirty million dollars surplus in the Lottery Fund: and we Wanted eo spend that on education. The method of doing it perhaps is -- is what Was in dispute, not the intent. But what we are trying to do with Senator Maitland's bill is perhaps garner that fifteen that he is talking about and add fifteen in the later anendmpnt. So the total would be forty-five million dollars for schools, if the two amendments are put on the bill.
Further discussion? Senator Brookins.
Will the sponsor yield for a clarification?
Indàcates be will yield. senator Brookins.
Senator Maitland: would you try to clear this up for my mind. What we're doing is taking fifteen thousand dollars and putting into the Common School Fund. Fifteen million, I#m sorry. And then we're taking another fifteen million and doinq what with it?
l03 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 Senator Maitland.
Thank -- thank you, Mr. President. Senator Brookins, I think we're doing exactly what you Want us to do. We are simply appropriating fifteen million dollars to the Common School Fund,and by the same tokenywe are taking another total of fifteen million dollars from -- from the General Revenue Pund, and also appropriating that to schools.
Senator Brookins.
So your bill, in effect, is putting thirty million dollars into the Common School Fund. Is that what we're saying?
Senator Maitland.
No no sir, that is -- that is not correct. Only fifteen million dollars. The -- the second fifteen million dollars comes from the General Revenue Fund, buk as I explained in -- in total, and then Senator Welch got up and reexplained What I had said, there is going to be an amendment that follows that will appropriate an additional fifteen million dollars to the Common School Fund.
Further discussion? Senator Watson. Oh, I1m sorry. Senator Brookins.
To speak to the amendment and what is happening here - and kf don't understand it, and I know that I'm just a comnon person just like the constituent out khere that don'k understand ik - we have a thirey million dollar surplus from Lottery that we want ko put into the Common School Fund and not in the General Revenue l04 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28*b Legislative Day May 12, 1989 Fund. We want the thirty million dollars to go, in total, to the Common School Fund. In effect, it really does not and will not affeet the Common School Fund one way or another. I know that. That's hard to explain to a constituent, because when we run around the district we Will say to them, ''Yes, we have funded the Common School Fund at thirty million dollars or funded education at thirty million dollars.'' In effect, we have not. So therefore it is not -- it does not make any sense for me to vote for these type of measures that is wrong. That makes us, in effect, really tell lies to our constituent, and therefore this also is a bad Way to to disburse of that thirty million dollars that Was qenerated by Lottery -- by the playin: of Lottery, that we originally said would go to the -- to the Common School Fund, and that is where it should go.
Further discussion? Senator Watson.
ïes sir, thank you. Question of the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senaeor Watson.
If -- if this amendment goes on and is ultimately signed by the Governor, when will the school realize this -- this additional revenue? When will a cheek be written?
Sena*or Maitland.
Senator Watson, this is a -- an appropriation for FY '89 and this is effective when the -- when the Governor signs the bill, and the -- the money will be distributed at that time to -- through the General State Aid Formula.
l05 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legillative Day May l2, 1989 Eurther dkscusskon? Senator D'Atco.
Thank you: Mr. President. I don't really understand whatls going on here. mean if -- if -- if we've qok thirty million dollars from the Lottery to fool around with, why should we adopt either one of these amendments? Why don't you let nature take its course, and let the money go where it would ordinarily go, which is in the Common School Fund. We don't need to be playing games wlth this additional money because people decide that they're qoing to spend X amount of dollars to play the Lottery. That's not what this is a1l about. And you're making it into a political game for politkcal reasons, and both skdes a<e engaged in a pingpong battle here to see who gets this additional money. Let's just do what's right and Table both of these amendments.
Further discussion? Senator Demuzio.
I have a question of the sponsorg if I may.
Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Demuzio.
Senator Maitland, support for your amendment, does that generate support for Senator Welch's amendmenk in the very near future?
Senator Maitland.
Senator Demuzio, I can't speak for every Member of this Body. I plan to support Senator Demuzio 's amendment. Senator Welch's amendment.
Senator Demuzio. l06 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989
Please don't confuse me With Senator Welch, Senator Maitland. He's a very dear friend of mine and he ls closee but, thank you very much. PRESIDENT ROCKI Further diseussion? Senator Jacobs.
Thank you, Mr. President, and I guess I have to join Senator Brookins a little bit, that I am also confused . Pirst of all, 1et me indicate to my fellow Senators that should know, that the thirty million dollars must be appropriated; it's not going to follow its natural course . But I have a more basic question. We spend a11 this time to where we cannot come up with more money for schools, *e cannot come up with any more money for anythinq, but all of a sudden between fifteen minutes ago till now, w e 've come up wkth -- come up with another fifteen million Qollars, and 1, for one, don't know how we come up with these fifteen million here, forty-eight million dollars earlier, and I'm getting more confused as we go along, and I think that other that the fact we do have to appropriate this money, Would share with Senator D'Arcols comments. But I do understand that we bave to appropriate this money.
Further dkscussion? Senator Collins.
Thank you, Mr. President. I -- I guess I'm too confused also here, but if it is my understanding about al1 of these amendments: a) that we do have this windfall of monies from the Lotterles that was not anticipated, that must be appropriated. Am I right so far? Okay. But what appears to be happening here, and my concern, if am correct, is the way the money will be distributed. It is a queseion of the distribution of the money, l07 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May 12, 1989 rather that Whether or not we should appropriate the money. Because I think the citizens of this State Would, in fact, want that money to go toward education, and it should go, because it Was generated by the Lottery. But I think my concern and -- and most of us from the Chicago areas, major concern is Whether or not the monies qo to Ehe School Aid Formula, for general distributiony as it is currently noW distributed, or Whether of not it go toward categoricals. And if it goes toward categoricals, how much of the impact would that have on us, versus whether or not EhaE money was put into the General School Formula? Now, based on what I hear, Chicago will come ouE with less money if it is to qo toward categorical rather than the formula. So, I hope I'm shedding some light on this for myself and for the others, and if I'm wrong, please respond to me.
Further discussion? Senator Jones.
Yeah, thank you, Mr. President. The more discussion I hear on the issue I guess the more we get concerned, and ...linaudiblel... the sponsor will yield to a question.
Senator Maitland. I understand -- been requested for Sponsor indicates he Will yield. Senator Jones.
Senator Maitland, what is the current law as relate to khe Lottery proceeds? What is what does the 1aw say? A1l profits from the Lottery shall go where?
Senator Maitland.
We have created, Senator Joneo, a mechanism that allows the -- the weekly -- the weekly -- you got a question? l08 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENKTE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May 12: 1989 PRESIDEN: ROCK) Tbat was a question. Where does the Lottery money go?
He 's askkng me to stop.
Senator Maitland.
The the weekly proceeds from the Lottery 9o into the Common School Fund. We agreed to thak mechanism. PRESIDENT ROCKI Senator Jones.
Well, the 1aw says khak the proceeds from the Lottery shall go into the Common School Pund. Am I correct? So, therefore, When we appropriate kn the event that there are additional moniesg we must reappropriate them to the Common School Fund. What your amendment is doing -- What your amendment is doinq is running contrary to the law that we passed to clear up the confusion. The current 1aW says al1 proceeo from tbe Lottery sball go into the Common School Fund. Am I correck? I'm tryinq to get a. . .
Senator Berman.
Let me try to -- try to clear thingB up. I Will try. First of allz Senator Collins, Senator Collins, you are right. Youdre rkght. Al1 right. NoW let's -- 1et me try to take this a little bit further. When there are proceeds from the Lottery, it's set aside in the Common School Fund. The question before us this morning are kwo questions. Do we want to take the money that's in the Common School Fund an; appropxkate kt so that the schools get it in FY'89? That's what this bill is. It's a supplemental appropriation for FY'89. So if you don't want to give the schools 1Q9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2y 1989 more money this yeary and you want to let the pot build upg so that we can be bigger heroes for FY'90, vote No on all these amendments. A11 right, thatfs -- that's point number one. Point number two, if you want khem to get more money this year because we had a seventy million dollar or a hundred million seventy million dollar Lottery, because We had a seventy million dollar Lottery and everybody expects more noney to flow: presumablyy immediately to the schoolsy then you vote -- then yould Want to vote Yes on the supplemental appropriation to appropriate the money from the Common School *und to the schools. The second question, however, is whether you want the money to flow as is proposed by both Senator Maitland's amendment and the previous one by Senator Welch. And the Way that flows is, half of ity fifteen million dollars, is going to go to the General State Aid Formula; seven and a half million is going to go to Transportation, line item; and seven and a half mlllion is going to go to Special Ed personnel reimbursement. NoW there's a dozen other, tWo dozen other categorical line items which are not qoing to be funded kn FY'89 under these amendments. If you don't like that division, then vote No. This is May 12th. This is a supplemental appropriation bill. I will presume, and I will be surprised if I'm wrong, that Senate Bill 385 will go over to the House. The House will have some ideas as to do -- as to what should be done with this bill someplace or other. Itlll come back, and under our new open conference committee rules, everybody will have a better opportunity than just today to discuss how the money ought to go. So I question realistically, politically, whether we really Want to put a11 khis money into FY '89. I suggest to you that with some of the formulariesg some of the changes that have come up, that maybe we want to hold it till PY190. Secondly, I'm not sure that want to give it to only the two categorical line items as opposed to others, or just the School Fund. But I'm going to vote 110 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day M I ay l2, 1989 ! Yes today. I1m going to vote Yes today, so that I can go home and say, ''We had a biq Lottery: and I voted to qet the money to khe schools riqht away .'' That's a superficial explanation, buk ik's probably one thak I and ny constftuents can understand. I hope I've shed a tiny bit of light in the gloob. Thank you.
Furkher discussion? Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. There's one other point, though, khat I think needs to be brought out again. I assume it has been made in this maze of confusing discussion about what wedre doing. But now that 1 have, I belkeve, fknally seen a copy of what We believe is your amendment, Senator Maitland, I want to be clear about one thing. Fifteen million of it comes from the Common School Fund. That will go, presumablye for the General State Aid Formula. That is money that We believe reflects the added profits of the Lottery. The next tWo sections thoughy which are the tWo categorical sections - one, as I understand it, Transportation, khe second ed -- Special Ed reimbursement: is not from the Common School Fund. That is directly, as I read this, from presumably, General Revenue. So that thak ls really nok Lottery money. It could or could not ber but it is not directly Lottery money and should not be, since a11 of the Loktery moneyz the profits from the Lottery, ought to go, by transfer, directly into the Comnon School Fund. So we are also, as I read this, in effect dipping into qeneral funds for Flscal '89 to come up with fifteen million dollars, seven and a half for Special Ed reimbursementg seven and a half for Transportation. And the -- whether we have the cash to cover it is quite another matter, and maybe we do, because revenues have been very strong. But it is not coming from the Common School Fund, and it is therefore not coming directly from khe Lotkery. Is that an accurate representation of what I think : 1ll STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2# 1989 I'm noW readinge is your amendment?
Senator Maitland.
Wellr 1...
I think it's a yes or no, John.
I -- I -- think -- I think -- I think there's a yes and a no answer to what you -- what you have asked me. The Common School Fund gets all of the Lottery profits, and it goes into that fund, but we can't you know in order to put that money then into 18-8 the -- the General State Aid Formula, we have to appropriate, and we are appropriating from -- okay.
All right. Any further discussion? Senator Netsch.
That Was not my question, Senator Maitland. I fully understand that. That is the first section of your amendment. The next two sections do not say anythingv as I read them , about the Common School Fund. They just say that in addition to anything else we've already appropriaked, welre going to spend seven and a half million dollars on Transportation reimbursement and in the next section, seven and a half million on Special Ed. If that is not correctz that's what I -- I Want clarified. That will come, noE from khe Common Sehool Fundy at least it doesn't read that way, unless there's some magic in here that I'm not finding, that will come straight out of General Revenue. Am I correct in my assumption?
That is a yes answer, John, by the way. Senator Maitland.
1l2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 8ith GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2y 1989 That is correct, and I think that was Senator Welch 's reason for introducing this. The General Revenue Fund has grown because of that. PRESIDENT ROCK; All right. Purther discussion on amendment No. ll? Senator Maitland, you Wish to close, sir?

It Would increase the travel Within the Credit Union division of the Department of Financial Institutions by thirty thousand dollars. It would appropriate a hundred thousand dollars to the Department of Agriculture from Ag Premium Funds in order to enable the Department to use tbe fairgrounds, rent out the fairgrounds, We need to -- this is -- these are revenue-producing activities. We need to appropriate the expenditure of this money so that the Department can receive back in revenues an equal amount. It also appropriates a hundred thousand dollars to the Capital Development Board for a maintenance storage building in Lee County conservation area, and then it deletes a similar amount of money which was budgeted with in the Department of Conservation, and then the last item is a thirty thousand dollars transfer in GRF money to the -- in the Department of Aging in order to fund the hotline services, telephone hotline services. 1'11 be glad to respond to any questions.

They simply -- we -- we appropriated more money in that line item than they can spend this year.

SENATOR CARROLL: I -- question of the sponsor, if hedtl yield. PRESIDENT ROCK: Indicates he will yield. SENATOR CARROLL) - Thank you. Senator Etheredqe, are you saying that the Department says there is not a need for adult day care? I mean I'n a little leery about taking mohey away from adult day care. If they needed thirty thousand for something else in another fund, why not just do it? Why take General Revenue Funds out of adult day care, When we hear a crying need throuqhout all of our districts? PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Etheredge. SENATOR ETHEREDGE: No, Senator, I'm not saying that, nor is the Department saying that. A11 I -- a11 I am saying is that because -- there have not been the demands for the expenditures in that line item that were antieipated at one time. They simply are not going to be able to expend all of khose monies between now and the 30th of June for ll5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 khose programs.

Amendment 14 offered by Senator Keats.
Senator Keats, on Amendment No. 14.
Thank thank you Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This amendment is sort of a logical Ehird conclusion to S l enatorWelch'stwoearlierlamendments. His first amendment, where he reduced the speculative legal fees. The second one said, I ''Let'sreviewtheselegalfI eesbeforewepaythem.'' Lek me tell you Why this third amendment, which then takes the 1.2 million in -- l in supplemental legal fees out, and says it will be put back in whenwereviewit First ofIall, the Department only asked for a . hundred andkenthousandil nlegalfees. Whatwereallyhavehere isaonethousandonehundrl edpercentincreasei I n their request. But more imporkantly isl Whatik'srequestedfor. Ifyouhavea list of the lawsuits, let me run down a minute and tell you a feW of them. Under ACYF we a1 resuinqtheeederalGovernment, sayinq theirre l gulationsthattheyI'reinchargeof,wedon'tagree. They didn't doitthewaytheyj weresupposedtogandwearesuingthem to the tune of a quarter miillion dollars in legal fees so we might get a million. They're goiI 'ng to decide it. Wedre going to pay a quarter million in legal feesz and theydre not going to give us our million. Let me tell you these next couple. Eric P. versus Johnson We are suing ourself. . I We have lawyers on three sides of thiscase.Wearepayinga$1threesides. Idon'tevencarewhat sideI'm on . I Ijustwanttl obeonone,notthree. Thenextcasey B. H. versus Johnson, aqain we're on all three side. of the same case We are suin: ourselves. . I Aristokle P. versus Johnson, or Aristotle M. versus Johnson. Doe versus Lambert. These are ll7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 28th Legislative Day May l2, 1989 lawsuits launcbed by ourselves agaînst ourselves. The Attorney General, who is our lawyer, is defending ourself in a11 but about one of these cases. We're already paying his legal fees. We're paykng the people suing us, and noW we are paykng a third party : private contractor to come in and tell us what else is going on. Those are l.2 million dollars. Logically, I don't think it matters what side we're on, as long as we kind of stick to one or maybe two sides of tbe argument. I wouldn't even argue about two sides. So what this does is take the 1.2 million is additional legal fees out, and we say, following Senator Welch's second amendment, this says let's review these leqal fees and find out what they're for. First thing we ouqht to find out is Who -- what are we paying in hourly rates, when you're talking two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, or two hundred and fifty thousand, on a speculative lawsuit, or wedre tellin: the federal government they can't do it the way they Want to with their own system. Maybe we ought to have that reviewed before we spend that kind of money. And the last provision I -- I would -- I would mention in terms of the problem here is this money can be put back in, but first we should find out what these lawsuits are, and why we're on three sides of the same -- suit.

Senator Welch.
Okay. Strike what I just said. What I meant to say Was this is the amendment that Will appropriate fifteen million dollars from the Common School Fund because of the increase in Lottery proceeds.
