SENATOR DEMUZIO

STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9y 1989 Well, thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Again, today is another historic day. There's some more free cake, I'm told, bouncing around. Another birthday. Our distinguished colleague in this row over here, Senator John D 'Arco, is having his birthday today. I'm told that he 's forty-two. And there is free cake in his officee furnished by his Secretary and friends. We weren 't fortunate today to have the Republicans supply the cake. So, we're supplying our own today. Thank you.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Ladies and Gentlemen, I needn't remind you, obviously, this is the last day - as a matter of fact, the last hour or so within which we can consider these Motions in Writing, so I would ask a11 Members within the sound of my voice to please present themselves on the Floor if they wish to pursue a motion. In order to accommodate those Members who are attending other meetings and are on their way, we 'll begin on Page 16 on the Order of Motions in Writing to Accept the Specific Recommendations for Change. And that would be Senators Welch, Mahar and Severns. And then wedll go back and pick it up at Page 15 at the Motions in Writing to Override Total Vetoes. The middle of Page 16, on the Order of Motions in Writing to Accept Specific Recommendations for Chanqe, is a motion With respect to Senate Bill l0, Madam Secretary.

Linda Hawker

I move to accept the specific recommendations of the Governor as to Senate Bill 10 in manner and form as follows: Amendment to Senate Bill 10 in Acceptance of Governor's Recommendations Filed by Senator Welch.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Senator Welch. Senator Schaffer. Senator Welch.

SENATOR WELCH

4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9, 1989 Thank you, Mr. President. This is the bill that we ended with yesterday that took about an hour. And I filed a motion to accept the Governorfs recommendation for change against my better judgment. But recognizing that the underlying bill is very worthwhile, I have decided to agree to accept the Governor's recommendation. The underlying bill would prohibit the issuance or renewal of a license to practice 1aw to any person Who has defaulted on a student loan. In addition, it sets up a -- a cooperation between Illinois and other states to allow for other states to withhold professional licenses when Illinois loans aren't repaid. I would move that we vote Aye.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Discussion? Discussion? If not, the question is, shall the Senate accept the specific recommendations of the Governor as to Senate Bill l0, in the manner and form just stated by Senator Welch. Those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay . The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? A11 voted who wish? Take the record.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Senator Welch.

SENATOR WELCH

STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9# 1989 Thank you. This amendatory veto increased from three to six the number of regularly employed nonresidents executive and technical experts that could be employed. I don't think it's a good idea, but the underlying bill requires Illinoisans to be hired for federal and State cleanup projects. And I don't Wank to lose the entire bill, so I çuess I will go along reluctantly with the Governor, and ask for an affirmative vote.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Discussion? Any discussion? If not, the question is, shall the Senate accept the specific recommendations of the Governor as to Senate Bi11 141, in the manner and form just stated by Senator Welch.

The Governor has recommended that the effective date be January 1st, 1991, and I 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October 19, 1989 Would move to accept that recommendation.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Senator Severns.

SENATOR SEVERNS

Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. The Governor, in his amendatory veto, deleted all language regarding the task force and the changes of composition to the Export Development Council Board of Directors. Also, we replaced the Attorney General with the Director of DCCA as the acting chairman of the Council in the event that a vacancy occurs in the Office of Lieutenant Governor. I move to accept the Governor's amendatory veto.

PRESIDENT ROCK

We will proceed through the balance of the motions. And I might alert the Membership, if my calculation are correct, we have about one hour's work, and then wedll be out of here. Senate Bill 70.

Read the Motion, Madam Secretary. Senate Bill 830. Middle of Page l5, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Linda Hawker

I move that Senate Bill 830 do pass. the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Eiled by Senator O 'Daniel.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Senator O 'Daniel.

SENATOR O'DANIEL

Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senate Bill 830 deals with the studded tires for emergency firefighting vehicles and ambulances from November 15th till April the 1st. They - especially rural fire districts - feel very strong about this. Most of them are -- are manned by volunteer firemen. And when there's snow or ice in the forecast, they can 't get them to come in and put the chains on. And I feel the chains probably do more damage than the studded tires, and so I would move to 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9, 1989 override the Governor's veto.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Al1 right. The question is, shall Senate Bill 830 pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Discussion? Senator Watson.

SENATOR WATSON

Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. The -- we fve seen this legislation before. This is the Studded Tire Legislation, and there probably is some merit in what -- in what Senator O'Daniel wants to do herez but the Governor has vetoed this, and I think for a good reason. The problems that occur with studded tires and what it does to the roads is quite detrimental. And wefve -- in our analysis and I'm sure on most everyoneps, the county superintendents of highways are opposed to this. The Department of Transportation. Township officials. Other units of local government are concerned about this, because of the damage that it does to the local roads. And I think that that in itself is -- is good reason to sustain the veto and -- and support the Governor on this provision.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator O'Daniel, you wish to close?

SENATOR O 'DANIEL

Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. You know, We allow the mail carriers now to -- to use studded tires during - - from November till April. And I think in an emergency With an ambulance or a -- or a fire department is much more important than - - than probably seeing that the mail is delivered. And I know enough about construction and I think the Department of Transportation, too, that this isn't a serious -- doesn ft do serious damage to the roads. And I would move for the override.

PRESIDENT ROCK

9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9, 1989 The question isg shall Senate Bill 830 pass, those -- the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding.

Bottom of Page l5, Ladies and Gentlemen. We are now on the Order of Motions in Writing to Override Item Vetoes. Bottom of Page 15. There 's a motion filed with respect to Senate Bill 284. Madam Secretary.

Linda Hawker

move that the item on Page 5, lines 20 through 25, of Senate Bill 2-8-4 do passy the item veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Filed by Senator Holmberg.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Senator Holmberg.

SENATOR HOLMBERG

Thank you, Mr. President. This motion we voted on yesterday and passed. When we had confirmation of the roll call, one of our Members was off the Floor. We'd like to go with it again. Let me remind you that this is the appropriation that is so vitally necessary for Rockford to have NIU locate an extension in a buildin: for students that are already taking classes someplace in Rockford. Really of vital interest to our economy, backed by our council of one hundred, our major business organizations: and ask for your favorable roll call.

PRESIDENT ROCK

Discussion? Senator Etheredge.

SENATOR ETHEREDGE

Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9, 1989 Senate. Once again, -- feel compelled to -- to rise in opposition to the amendment. think the idea of having NIU presence in Rockford is a very good one. What I am arguing for here is that we go a little bit slow - slow enough so that the Board of Higher Education can -- will have the appropriate time -- appropriate opportunity to study this. I would point out to everyone that we passed a bill, Senate Bill 1443, which calls, in factz for a feasibility study to be made. My -- I plead with you - - this feasibility study now is just -- just starting. This bill was just approved as of the first of September. Let's give the process the opportunity to work. If that feasibility study is completed quickly - and I don't see why it could not be - why it should not be - and a positive report is forthcoming as a consequence, khere would be then the opportunity to make this appropriation in a supplemental. So at this time, once again, I would ask for a No vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Schaffer.

SENATOR SCHAFFER

Well, in -- in deference to the previous speaker, rise in support of this. would respectfully submit that yesterday we - if memory serves correct - we appropriated the money to buy the Normal school for ISU, and the school district wasn 't even agreed on that one. In this case, we have a school district in total agreement. We have the business community very actively promoting this. This would provide a consolidation from many other locations throughout the Rockford area. It's a very rational plan in a -- a good way to utilize an access school building in an intelligent manner. I'm confident that any study that comes up will recommend this plan vigorously. And I see no reason why we shouldn't approve it at this point and go forward.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9, 1989 Further discussion? Senator Kustra.

SENATOR KUSTRA

Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I -- I would just add, in listening to this debate, one of the critical concerns we should all have when we do something like this that might override a decision by the Board of Higher Education, is whether or not what we're about to do creates any kind of a conflict between public and private higher education - whether or not we are allowing a public institution of higher learning to do something that is already being done in the private sector. In this particular case, it is my understanding that that is not the case. What Northern Illinois University would be doing by virtue of our action here today is in no way in conflict with anything that is being done by the private sector higher education facilities in Rockford. Itls a much-needed use of graduate facilities. I don't see any reason why every now and then this General Assembly can't assert itself. We don't have to say that the Board of Higher Education is always right. Every now and then, I think we ean establish a priority here and there, and would suggest on this one, it's a good time to do And I would agree with Senator Holmberg on her motion to override. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? If not, Senator Holmberg may close.

SENATOR HOLMBERG

Thank youe Mr. President. I would just ask for a favorable roll call.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Question is, shall the item on Page 5, lines 20 through 25, of Senate Bill 284 do pass, the item veto to the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Those in favor will vote Aye. Those opposed will vote Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9, 1989 wish? Have a11 voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record. On that questiony the Ayes are 43, the Nays are l5, none voting Present. The item on Page 5, lines 20 through 25, of Senate Bill 284, having received the required three-fifths vote, is declared passed, the item veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstandinq. Page l6. Page 16 on your Calendar. Senator Welch, for what purpose do you arise?

SENATOR WELCH

Mr. President, I would ask that the sponsorship of the override motion be transferred to Senator Brookins.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) The sponsorship of the override motion?

SENATOR WELCH

Yes.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) If Senator Brookins would just simply attach his signature to the motion... A11 right. Senate Bill 4-1-2, Madam Secretary.

Linda Hawker

I move that the item on Page 3, lines 26 through 30, of Senate Bill 4-1-2 do passz the item veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Filed by Senator Brookins.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Brookins.

SENATOR BROOKINS

Thank you, Mr. President. This is an expenditure of tWo hundred thousand dollars that wedve spent -- we -- we passed to do a study of the Lake Calumet underground water, which is in my district. Now what it is is that we don't know what pollutions are being fed in the underground waters. And what it is doing is going down and it's coming downstate. So I Would just remind al1 the downstate Legislators that they should vote for this, so that 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October 19, 1989 we in Chicago don't kill them off. So we really need this study. So I ask for a favorable vote.

PRESIDING OFPICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Well, is there a discussion? Senator Keats.

SENATOR KEATS

Thank you, Mr. President. Believe it or not, this does look like a Cook County issue, and it does have some significance, but anyone who knows groundwater - and many of us who follow it - you know, the groundwater flows south: gang, and so this groundwater is not really killing people who live on the south side of Chicago, but it could be a little dangerous if you lived in Kankakee or Iroquois, or you started headin: south. Now if you don't mind drinkin: dangerous groundwater, that's your business, and I wouldn't really want to tell you what you ought to drink or not drink. But, we do have a legitimate problem on the southeast side of Chicago, and this groundwater issue is significant to the City and everyone who fits within that stratosphere of the water moving south, and it probably is a good idea that we study this water.

PRESIDING OFPICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator Etheredge.

SENATOR ETHEREDGE

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I would point out two things to the Members of the Body. First of all, there was a substantive bill, House Bill 789, which would require that this study be made, and I would like to point out to you that this bill Was defeated in the House. So there -- there is no substantive legislation which would require this study. The second thing that I would Want to point out is that, while this motion has been filed on a two-hundred-thousand-dollar reduction, that the total cost of this study is -- has been estimated at a million and a half dollars to be spent over a period of -- of four 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October 19, 1989 years' time. So this is not -- youfre not voting on a two-hundred-thousand-dollar item , you're voting on a million-and-a-half-dollar item. Once again, I would ask that we take a longer look at this, and I would ask for a No vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Fawell.

SENATOR FAWELL

Will the Senator yield for a question?

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Brookins indicates he will yield. Senator Fawell. Senator Fawell.

SENATOR FAWELL

Senator Brookins, did you say that this would -- would kill people -- this -- this contaminants might kill people?

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) I I think he said only in downstate. Senator Brookins.

SENATOR BROOKINS

That's what the study is for, Senator, to find out what what this pollution and what -- what are we putting in our groundwaters. We know that in this section of the City of Chicago in the southeast side - that the highest cancer rate -- rate has been measured among white males. White males is the highest cancer rate of anywhere in the State of Illinois. So there's something wrong, and there's something wrong with the water or the air or what. We want to start to take a look at it. And we're asking for a mere two hundred thousand dollars, just to determine how we can keep these nice-lookinq white males around in the Skate of Illinois.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell.

SENATOR FAWELL

Senator Brookins, have you declared your conflict of interest 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9, 1989 on this bill?

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Welch.

SENATOR WELCH

Thank youz Mr. President. The idea behind the study of the water in Lake Calumet is that the Lake Calumet area is one of the most contaminated areas in the State of Illinois. Yet the federal government has not put it on the Super Fund List, so we are unable to get federal funds to clean up the site. Federal funding should be available at ninety percent of the total cost of the million dollars of cleanup, and that's what we're trying to do by having a study to convince the government. The study is to convince the federal government that this site does have groundwater contamination that will cause health problems. That is the determining factor by the federal government in determining if the super fund site can be cleaned up, or if a site should even be a super fund site. So based on that, we are trying to get a funding proposal through the Legislature. The bill that Senator Etheredge spoke about being defeated it was defeated. It is now on the Recall List. It Was tWo votes short of passing. It's my understanding the bill will come up again today - the substantive bill - and I've been assured that it would pass. So I think that that is not an issue, the substantive proposal. But what we would like to do is try to get federal money. And this is a small amount of seed money to put out there to bring back millions of dollars to clean up one of the most contaminated sites in the State of Illinois - this site at Lake Calumet. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Further discussion? If not, Senator Brookins may close.

SENATOR BROOKINS

Thank you, Mr. President. I think it's an important study, 16 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October 19, 1989 though I've made a little jest. In the Daily Calumet there was an article and a study on it. I think that we need to start somewhere. We must make a beginning. Wedre talking about two hundred thousand dollars, Which is really not much for something of this magnitude. The upper flgure was mentionede that's over a six-year period - will take over a six-year period. And yes, I would imagine it would eventually go up to the figures that Was quoted by the Senator. But I think that somewhere we must make a start, and this is the appropriate point to make -- spot and time to make that start. I ask for a favorable vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. The question isz shall the item on Page 3, lines 26 through 30, of Senate Bill 4l2 do pass, the item veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Those in favor will vote Aye. Those opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have al1 voted who wish? Have al1 voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have al1 voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Last call. Have a11 voted Who wish? Take the record. On that question, the Ayes are 34, the Nays are 22, none voting Present. The motion, having failed to receive the required three-fifths vote, fails. All right. Senate Bill 412, Madam Secretary. A11 right. Senator Brookins, for what purpose do you arise?

SENATOR BROOKINS

Postponed Consideration.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) You just file another motion. Senator -- Senate Bill 412, Madam Secretary.

Linda Hawker

I move that the item on Page 13, lines 3 through l0, of Senate Bill 412 do pass, the item veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. 17 r' STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9, 1989 Filed by Senator Rock. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Rock. SENATOR ROCK: Thank you, Mr. President. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senake, this is an item of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars which was vetoed - and I contend vetoed by mistake, because was an appropriation to the Energy Management Institute of Illinois, which Was set up, if youdll recall, a year or better than a year ago , at the request of the Governor, subsequent to a request by the members of Organized Labor. I'm sure a11 of you have received a little note from Organized Labor saying they support this effort to restore or veto - or pass thisr the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. The fact of the matter is, this is Ehe only institute that is engaged in the training of workers to abate or encapsulate asbestos. And we have, in fact, appropriated money to them in the past for the purpose of getting it up and running. I think it was viewed mistakenly as simply another one of the many legislative add-ons that the Governor saw fit to cut, with the hope that we would reconsider the eight cents on the Cigarette Tax . This should not have been in that category. By nobody's definition was this a legislative add-on. And it's something, it seems to me, that if wedve asked Organized Labor ko engage in the setting up and -- and running implementation of this institute to train workers to abate asbestos, we at least ought to afford them the wherewithal to do it. And so I would ask your favorable consideration, and ask for an Aye vote to restore this two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, the item veto of *he Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Weaver.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Purther discussion? Senator Etheredge. '

SENATOR ETHEREDGE

Thank you: Mr. Presidentg Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I had the opportunity to -- to speak yesterday and learn something about this program. It appears to me that the -- the -- the work that the Institute does is -- has been doing over the last year, is valuable. However, I would point out that the fact remains that this item was not included in the Governor's budget. and it was, in fact, an -- a legislative add-on. It was a -- presented as a House amendment during the process last spring. So, I would ask at this time for a No vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Al1 right. Further discussion? If not, Senator Rock may close.

SENATOR ROCK

Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate and Mr. President. I suppose we could stand and argue about legislative add-ons. It was, in fact, put on by House amendment by Representative Mcpike, again# at the request of Organized Labor. 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October 19, 1989 And was viewed then and should be viewed now as merely an oversight on the part of the Governor's staff. This -- this Institute was set up at the request of the Governor, after some significant meetings with the members of Organized Labor. And I think in fairness, we ouqht to restore the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and I would urge an Aye vote.

Linda Hawker

I move that the item on Page 2, lines 24 and 25, of Senate Bill 278, do be restoredz the item veto -- pardon me -- the item reduction veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Filed by Senator de1 Valle.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SEMATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SEMATOR DEMUZIO) Senator de1 Valle. SENATOR dEL VALLE: Thank you, Mr. President. This motion was approved yesterday, but we had Members off the Floor. It's for 3.8 million dollars. As we know, there has been dramatic decline in enrollment, at a number of institutions, of minority students. The universities have indicated that they can substantially increase 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October 19, 1989 minority enrollmenty particularly Black and Hispanic enrollment, With these funds. And so we're looking to restore this line item reduction. I move for the restoration. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate . Once again today, I rise in -- in opposition to this motion. And let me -- let me say: also, that -- or initially at least, that in this particular line item there was a substantial -- a substantial increase in the recommendation by the Governor. Originally, had amounted to about -- about forty-eight percent. What Senator del Valle has done here is to change the line item to cover a number of other areas. And yet, the report that both he and I worked on, the Minority Access to Higher Education, suggested separate line items for -- for this, and -- and indeed, we are not - - we are not doing that. So what -- what happens here is the increase that the General Assembly passed out of here in the Spring was some two-hundred-and-seven-percent increase over the preceding year. And thatîs pretty doggone good by -- by any standards, and the Governor simply took it back to a forty-eight percent increase. Let me -- 1et me share with the Body, as we discussed yesterday, and about the need for access to higher education by minority students in this State. In the report that Senator del Valle worked so hard on, the point was made that we ought to increase -- or the funding for higher ed ought -- or at least five percent go to minority student retention. And you can argue that point or -- or -- or -- on either side, but that's the point that was made. But that can't be, Ladies and Genklemen of the Senate - only the money that's in Higher Education. Senatorg long before you came here - in 1985 this General Assembly passed Educational Reform Act of '85, whose major thrust Was the very 21 K.. STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October 19, 1989 issue that you and others have been discussingy to prepare students those students who are at risk of academic failure - for entrance into college. And this year, finally, Senator, in addition to the money that we are putting in with -- in the budget -- within the budget: we increased those line items in the State Board 's budget substantially to the point that approximately a hundred million dollars is going to at-risk students in this State. So to stand before this Body and ignore what this reduction has done is absolutely not true. We are making a good, honest effort to prepare minority students for access to higher education. And I would suggest that We qo along With the Governor's reduction in this -- in this line item, come back next year, and once aqain, Senator, discuss the issue and move forward.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A1l right. Further discussion? Senator Collins.

SENATOR COLLINS

I rise in -- in support of this motion. And I would just hope that a1l of you -- notice that the room has -- on this side seemed to have gotten a bit scarce, and those under the sound of my voice would come and listen to what we are trying to do here, because it's very important. A11 of the other appropriations that was proposed for access -- more access for minority access to higher education, were either totally vetoed or already taken out of the budget. And this is the last bill, and it's this last hope for us to do anything about that. Senator Maitland. So -- I would just hope - at least everybody on this side of the aisle support this bill, because this is the last bill that we had in that package. And I ask for a favorable roll call.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Further discussion? If not, Senator de1 Valle may close. SENATOR dEL VALLE: 22 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day October l9, 1989 Well, we spent quite a bit of time yesterday speaking about this.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Rock.

SENATOR ROCK

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate . Senate Joint Resolution 1-0-1 is the adjournment resolution. It has been changed to the extent that calls for us to return on Monday, October the 30th, at the hour of two o'clock. Now I've just spoken with Senator Philip, and there will not be any serious substantive action until approximately four, maybe even a little later. But we are doing this in order to facilitate and attempt to accommodate House action. As you well know, I'm sure, there was a rather lengthy substantive property tax bill that has been sent over to us, and I have asked Senator Netsch to convene a meeting of the Revenue Committee on Monday at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of addressing House Bill -- Senate Bill 1402, and then later in the day we will have a working task force probably of the conferees - it will undoubtedly go to conference committee. We will have a working task force - three members from each of the caucuses - to attempt to grabble with that weighty problem. And additionally, I've asked Senator Carroll to begin the supplemental appropriation process on Monday, also. So I would movez Mr. President, to suspend the rules for the immediate consideration and adoption of Senate Joint Resolution 101.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Rock.

SENATOR ROCK

Mr. President and Members, that is the purpose of the committee hearing. The bill currently is on the Calendar -- will be on the Calendar on the Order of Concurrence in a House amendment. It is a Senate bill to which the House attached an amendment, so it will show up on the Calendar on the Order of Concurrence. I did not - you are correct - think it quite fair that we address it cold turkey, so We are going -- that's why we are coming in a little early to address that, and make sure that all Members understand and will have some input into the final work product, if any.
