With leave of the Body# We'11 interrupt this order of business . We have a very special guest with us today . And WCIA-TV Channel 3 has requested permission to shoot some videotape. Tf T could have the Members ' attention, and ask that you be -- please be seated . We have a special guest with us this afternoon . And the introduction Will be done and the Chair will yield to Senator Topinka . Senator.
Thank you, President Rock and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Today marks a very important occurrence and event in history . It is something that think none of us ever want to forget, because it's something that's changed the course of World War 11; it changed the course of history. Today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the fal1 of Bataan. It also marks a very important unification and a bonding with Filipino-mnericans who served so admirable with United States forces. If may note that with us today we have representatives of a1l the major veterans groups , who are in the gallery. And they are all, you know , in their uniforms and -- and here for this observance . We also have 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992 in the galleryy in the back -- and I would ask that you welcome our veterans groups, plus this delegation of Filipino-Americans. And if I may announce Who they are - we have Juliette Campos, who I represents the Philippine Nurses' Association of Western Chicago; we also have Angel Quiaoit and Vic Fong, who are both former presidents of the Filipino-Ameriean Association of South Dupage; and we also have former Darien alderman Dan Uaje, who is the representative of the Filipino Political Action Committee. If you would stand up: as we have our veterans groups. Andy Ladies and Gentlemen, can we weleome them a1l to Springfield on this observance. With us today to mark this occaslon we do have Dr. Jaime S. Bautista. He's the Consul General of the Philippines. And if I may share With you his background. Before being assigned to Chicago as Philippine Consul General to the Midwest, Dr. Bautista served as Consul General to the Pacific Northwest. In Seattle, Dr. Bautista was Dean of the Consular Corps and served on the board of trustees of the World Affairs Council, was Chairman of the Sub-committee on Inter Country Exchanges of the Rotary Club of Seattlez and was also a member of the Advisory Board of the Pacific Center at Edmonds College -- Community College, as well as a member of the Asian Arts Council of the Seattle Art Museum . In Chicago, he is a member of the Chicago Philippines Lions Club, the International Trade Club of Chicago, Chicago Council on Poreign Relations, the Field Museum of Natural History, and Shedd Aquarium. He has also recently joined the Union League Club. He has a very involved resume. I will jump down to the fact that he does hold a 1aw degree, which he received in the Philippànes; he's married; he has four children. He's here with us to share some of I the history of Bataan. And I must tell you - and, Ladies and i Gentlemen, if I could have your attention - Illinois played a very ? : I important part in Bataan, because outside of Proviso -- in Proviso 1 Townships in west suburban Cook County, mosE specifically *he 1 . 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992 Village of Maywoodz a National Guard Unit Was mobilized; did i serve; was captured; was on the Bataan death march; suffered i extreme casualties. So when it comes to Bataan, Illinois has a i I very vested interest. And with that, lf l may at this time present to you, and I would hope you would welcome with just a tremendous round of applause, Dr. Jaime Bautista, the Consul General of the Philippines.
(Remarks by Dr. Jaime S. Bautista)
Well, we certainly thank Dr. Bautista for being here today with us. And I'm thrllled that We've been joined by a pretty full gallery of schoolchildren# who have come to visit to :et a little history lesson on what happened fifty years ago today. We do have, as a momento of Dr. Bautista's visit with us, a resolution honoring the bond between Americans and Filipinos and what occurred in Bataan, and I'm sure he and the Department of Veterans' Affairs would want you all to know, and invite you to a reception that will be held tonight at the La Pore Lock Veterans of Foreign Wars - Post 755, 2211 O1d Jacksonville Road. It Will be from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. tonight. And tWo more little facts, which I think are kind of of interest: that in the -- in the fall of Bataan and with the ensuing movement of seventy-eight thousand American and Filipino troops to POW camps: which were ninety miles away, that was the Bataan Death March; and then a captivity of those who survived for nearly three and a half years. That was just the most incredible act of human endurance and self-sacrifice by women and men in uniform. One -- one very important fact that I think has always been overlooked: that until the recent Persian Gulf War, America's only women POWs were captured in the Japanese conquest of the Philippines in 1942. There were eighty-one women involved: seventy-eight Army and Navy nurses, two dietitians and 1 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992 . one physical therapist. They all survived their captivity, and we still have forty-four of them who are still living today. So as a result , everybody contributed to this particular effort . It is a major event in history. We do thank you, Dr. Bautista. And to the people of the Philippines, our deep gratitude for your participation, your help and the continued friendship with America , and especially the State of Illinois . Thank you very much .
Senator Severns, for what purpose do you arise? '
Thank you# Mr. President . I rise on a point of personal privilege.
State your point, please.
It's my honor to have joining us today ln the -- in the gallery at the rear, Mr. Charles Smith and the eighth grade class from Macon Middle School. And they 've been good enough to write many letters talking about the importance of educational funding in this State, and I assured them the Senate will do the right thing .
Will our guests in the gallery please rise and be recognized. Welcome to Springfield. All right. Introduction of Bills, Madam Secretary . !

It does not appear that there will be a great deal of business to be transacted aside from the introduction of bills, so that we will come in at 9:30 and then recess probably before 10:00 until five o'clock, for the purpose of assuring that a11 Members ' bills will indeed be introduced, but We will effectively conclude our business, I suggest, before ten o 'clock tomorrow morning, and then we'll return, obviously, on the 21st day of April. All right. If you can turn your attention to page 2 on the Calendar. There's been a request to go to the Order of i House Bills 3rd Reading, Madam Secretary. 0n page 2 on the Calendar is found House Bill 214. Read the bill, please. 21 i STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992
House Bill 214. (Secretary reads title of bill) I 3rd Reading of the bill.
Senator Maitland.
Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. House Bill 214, as amended, was discussed at length on -- on the Floor of this Body yesterday. It -- it provides for a hundred -- up to 100.4 million dollars of supplemental appropriations to the health insurance program for State employees - fifty-two million from General Revenue: 23.8 Road Fund, and 26.4 million from other funds. In addition to that, an amendment yesterday, offered by -- by Senator Jacobs, Would approprlate an additkonal three million dollars from the State Gamin: Fund to local governments. It further would appropriate up to eight million dollars, or -- or so much that is available, from the State Gaming Fund to the Educational Assistance Fund, and then subsequently appropriates that money from the Educational Assistance Fund to State Board of Education for general apportionment. I believe the bill has been fully debated. I would be happy to respond to any questkons. If not, would seek your support.
A11 right. The Gentleman has moved passage of House Bill 214. Discussion? Senator Carroll.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. We did have a 1ot of time yesterday discussing this, and unfortunately, I think many of the Members feel that the answers - not from Senator Maitland - but those that we -- be were -- that those answers which he was given were really not sufficient to I 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992 explain to State employees ourself included - whether or not these bills will be paid. think the fact that the administration has not gotten approval to take from these accounts yet, and appears to be Weeks away from knowing Whether they will or not, makes what we 're doing a little bit tough. 'Cause we dre saying to State employees, by this action, that the eontract we made with you will be honored. I think it has to be honored; think absolutely essential to be honored. And as Senator Maitland and Etheredge know, for the last couple of years when we've been in conference, I've been saying that all along that wedve been shorting Group Insurance, which is ours also - as well as the other hundred and thirty thousand people who use - and at the same time we're not really solving the problem, as I see it. And that bothers me. I think we should have had a plan that truly did solve the problem, because We've led people to believe that we're going to cover about a hundred million dollars of the shortfall, when we know wefre not - nowhere near that. So people are going to think that we, the General Assemblyz following the lead of the Governor, took his advice and gave them a hundred million to pay a portion of their bills. And they're going to find again, as We get down the road, maybe May, that doctors are not going to take the State's credit card, because the State ain't good for its money. Because by that time again, wefll find that there's about a twenty-mlllion-dollar shortfall, at least, out of this hundred million. And doctors and hospitals and other providers of health care are going to say, ''This is not an insurance card that I will accept.'' You, the employeee are stuck again - putting out the money and waiting to hope someday the State will pay you back. I am also concerned of the impact it gill have on the Lottery and on the Road Fund. Those are two accounts that -- no, don't agree, Senator Maitland, that it comes out of administration, because we've already allocated those 23 STATE 0F ILLINOIS , 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT I 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992 I i funds that were designed for administration. And what's left is i the prize fund in Lottery and the construction accounts kn the Road Fund. And I'm not saying that they should not be charged in 1 ! the future, and should have been charged in the past, for this I administrative cost, but they were not. And by goin: back now, we really are, in fact, impacting - in my opinion - the prize fund account and the road building account. We may have no choice but to do that, but it's really not the right way to go, particularly when - particularly when - at the bottom line, we're really fooling the employees of this State, because the providers are not going to be fooled. They're not going to wait; they dre goin: to say, ''Pay now, and you Wait for your money.'' I think it's a shame that this is the only solution that has been offered. PRESIDENT ROCK: ' Eurther discussion? Senator Brookins. SENATOR BROOKINS: Thank you, Mr. President. Will the sponsor yield for the question? PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Maitland indicates he will yield, Senator Brookins. SENATOR BROOKINS: Thank you. Senator Maitland, Will this pay the health insurance of the Governor of the State of Illinois? Is this what this will do? Is the Governor covered under this health insurance plan that wedre tryin: to pay, so that they will honor his bills too? PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Senator Brookins, we are a1l under the same group health insurance policy, including the Governor. PRESIDENT ROCK: l 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992 Senator Brookins.
So you're saying that your health insurance policy and my health insurance policy is under this same program, and this bill will cover those funds?
Senator Maitland.
That is correct.
Senator Brookins.
I think we earn something like thirty-seven five a year. And therefore, we 're going to pay our health insurance, while we cannot provide for the health insurance of people that we are proposing - in yesterday's budget to cut off of -- of -- of health care; the people that make tWo thirty-five?
Senator Maitland.
-- guess, Senator, I'm not sure understand your question. I -- only to say that -- that We are -- as a State, we are self-insured, and this this appropriates additional money to fund that program for all of us.
Senator Brookins.
Question, since you don't seen to understand. Let me see, can I rephrase it so that you may understand what I'm asking you . I'm trying to determine if, by voting for this bill, I'm voting to pay health insurance for folks that make ninety, seventy-five, sixty-five, fifty-five, and thirty-seven-flfty salaries. Is that 25 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION I SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992 ; correct? PRESIDENT ROCM: I Senator Maitland. 1
Yes, sir, and also those Who are making six, seven, eight, nine and ten thousand dollars a year. I
Senator Brookins. E
To the question, Mr. President: I think that in the budget hearkng, Which I sat through, where the Governor indicated that wefre going to have to cut off funds to senior citizens, funds to mentally handicapped people, and -- and people that are unable to work, and et cetera, where wedre going to have to really bite the bullet in these years, that I don't think that we need to do, as he said that he would not do, piecemeal together a budget just to protect some folks that are able to be able to afford the ten or fifteen dollars that they may have to supplement their health care wikh, through passing legislation such as this. It is self-serving. Because as I see it, wedre here voting to help ourselves where we lre going to have to go home and face people that We have cut off such aid because we do not have the money. And until we can find a solution to help all, I don't think that we should help a few. We had this same situation when we had hearings concerning the CTA and their budgeting for their executives. And one of *he Members of thls organizatlon, that sits on the other side of the aisle, asked that same specific question, in the same way, Which I am phrasing it. Why should we cut service to those that are least able to afford it and to give to the -- the big guys or the -- or the executives? I don 't think that is right; it is not fair; and wefre in the same boat. And I urge that we do not at this time pass this legislation. I 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992
Further discussion? Senator Leverenz.
Will the sponsor yield? i
Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Leverenz. SENATOR LEVERENZ: ' I have a technical question for the sponsor. Welre going into federal funds that have come to the State and kind of like charging back for health care costs that we didnlt, perhaps, charge the first year. I understand wedre going back - is it one year, two years, three years, or -- how far back are we going back and claiming against the federal funds?
Senator Maitland.
Senator, 1et me -- let me make certain, first of all, that -- that in a -- in a number of those areas, we don't know whether wedre going to go into those funds at all. We want to make sure - - the Governords Office wants to make sure that what is -- is being done is -- is done within the framework of the law and -- and guidelines that they are supposed to be following. But -- direct answer to your question, then, is one year.
Senator Leverenz.
Okay. We're only going back, then, one year, but you lre not rea1ly going to spend anything until you find that you have 1 1 1 . authority to do so? Just nod your head. Then -- would khis -- the bill we're about to pass, then, would you characterize it as a spending authorization, or are we actually appropriating cash so that the Comptroller can spend it? 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992 (
Senator Maitland.
Senator, youdve been in this business as long as I've been in this business, and -- and We've fought these battles together, and you know this is -- this is the spending authority; that if we pass it, there is the authority, then, to spend the money - up to a hundred million four hundred thousand.
Further discussion? Senator Leverenz.
Then this is mostly symbolic, rather than actually paying any bills. But I guess wedll vote Aye for that.
Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Demuzio.
Well, thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I -- I did, too, want to raise some points that were -- were raised yesterday. Senator Maitland, I -- I doubt very seriously if this whole plan is really going to workz because, as indicated by Senator Carroll, I think the feds and others have not really signed off on these various trust accounts. But I guess the more important issue is that somewhere along the line you and I and others in this Chamber have got to come to some realization that you can't any longer have eighteen hundred special federal and State trust accounts by which we can draw from. Either wefre going to have to start consolidatlng some of these funds into -- into one fund and appropriating them out for specific purposes, or perhaps -- there's got to be some other -- other way to do this. We keep raiding these funds, and maybe it's time for us to have some public poliey that eontinues -- or shall I say, when, in fact, innovatively begin to consolidate some of these accounts. 1 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY RECULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8: 1992 And secondlyv I guessv though more importantlyy is that when we left here last week Central Management Services did have, in fact, at that timez about thirty/thirty-three million dollars, which they said themselves that they were holding to pay providers' bills, like HMOs and other special contractual arrangements, that they had during April, May and June. And they were withholdin: that thirty-three million dollars; and therefore, they were not paying the same contractual arrangement that We have With our State employees in a timely fashion. And that disturbs me. Now I understand that they've been spending that so-called surplus over there at the rate of about eight million dollars a day: and today it's down to around seventeen million. This don't believe, as I've indicated: wifl work. I think you'll find -- that we will find that the federal government Will come back to us and say, ''Wait a minute. We gave you those dollars for a specific bona fide purpose, and now you in the Legislature are stealing those dollars to provide for other things that we had not included in our -- in our awards to the State of Illinois, Whether they be block grants or specific proposals or what have you.f' So this is a troubling proposal today, knowing full well that there are a number of State employees who are out there that have had children, who cannot pay their bills, that are being threatened With having to go for small claims court, to lawyers, to lawsuits, and et cetera. So it's a difficult vote, know: for a 1ot of people, because you're taking money out of a lot of different specific accounts here. And I guess the only thing that you can say is that those allocations out of those amounts were for employees that were working in those amounts -- in those accounts, and as a consequence, the money is owed for specific medical services. donft know how else youdre going to explain it, today. But I do think that in the long range that public policy with respect to the trust accounts and a long-range solution to 29 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992 this problem is something that is the obligation of the Members of the Senate and the House to Work out, and get away from this piecemeal crash approach of attempting to solve these problems whenever we have a crisis. Thank you, Mr. President. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Senator Maitland, you wish to close? SENATOR MAITLAND: Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. believe that the bill has been -- been well-debated khe last two days. Let me just make a couple of comments. First of all, there is no question in -- in any of our minds, nor was there a question last spring, that -- that -- that this fund was Was underappropriated. We knew we had not appropriated enough money to fully fund the program . This is an attempt to do that. The bills cannot be paid unless -- unless this authority is granted. The bills cannot be paid unless this authority is granted today. And if the money is there - and I think it Will be - it will be paid. Not perhaps up to the hundred million, but perhaps a few million dollars less than that. And I think that's an important point to make. Secondly, 1et me say I think for the fourth or fifth time since this debate has been going on - this is not a neW initiative. This is absolutely what We do every spring when We build the budget that's passed here sometime late in June: in every fund. This is the way it's done. But for the last three years, in supplementals, *e have not done this. We are now getting back to the way We hav'e done it before. And you can look through the smoke and mirrors a11 you want to, but that's a fact. And this is not a new initiative, and I think in the interest of the over sixty thousand permanent Stake employees, plus a 1ot of retirees out there, who we all represent and who are asking us to take care of them , we need to pass this legislation and move it over to the House today. And I Would appreciate your support. 30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY RECULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 91st Legislative Day April 8, 1992 Thank you very much.
