PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator O 'Malley.

Thank you, Mr. President. The preamble of Senate Resolution 23 states that, in the late '60s, peaceful opposition in Northern Ireland 1ed to large protest marches. On January 30thy 1972, one such peaceful protest was indiscrlminately fired upon and fcurteen demonstrators were killed . Senate Resolution 998, in the 87th General Assembly, memorialized the aforementioned individuals on the twentieth anniversary of their deaths. On January 14thr 1994, a document entikled HA Call for Fair Employment Investment <sia> (and Investment) in Northern Ireland'' was signed by officials of the Church of Ireland, the Presbyterian Church, the Irish Episcopal, the Methodist Church, the Episcapal Church of the United States, and the U.S. Catholic Conference. On August 31st, the Irish Republican Army lssued a statement announcing that -- that they were ceasing military operations, and on October 15th, 1994, the Unit#d Kingdom responded With a similar cease flre announcement. Senate Resolution 23 reaffirms the -- the -- the nemorialization done ln -- in Senate ResoluEion 998, and applauds the cease fire announcemenk and subsequent negotiations and urges that they be continued and accelerated to brlng justice to a11 of Ireland.

House Joint Resolution 8 does exactly What the Calendar saysz and that urges our U.S. congressional delegation to continue to approve, as nany of -- of our delegation have, the proposed balanced budget amendnent to the United States Constitution. In committeey Senakor Demuzio offered an amendmenk which would honor -- and I'm honorlng the lntent of that anendnent: because I happen to agree with with Senator Demuzio, and that is that the receipts and expenditures of the Social Security Trusk Fund should noE be considered when the balanced budget amendment is being proposed. So, having said thaty I've honored my intent and obligation *o Senator Demuzio. I stttl think that it's important that We encourage our U.S. congressional delegation to remain behind the proposed balanced budget amendment before the Unïted States Congress.

Senator, do we have a balanced budget amendnent in the State of Illinois?

Yes, we do.

How effective ls that: ln your estimation, at this point? Do we have any outstanding bllls that could be considered a deficit that very well may be over budget?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Watson.

Well, Senator, I understand your questlon and your concern, but thiq resolution does not address our State budget. urges our congressional delegatlon to support the balanced budget anendment for the federal Constitution.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Jacobs.

understand that, Senator. My only concern here we are telling the U.S. Congress what we think they should do. Our skirts are not clean. I don 't think a balanced budget amendment 23  STATE.OF ILLTNOIS 89THL.GENERAL'ASSEMBLY . ', REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legkslatkve Day March 2l, 1995 is necessary on the federal level. If there truly is a commktment: they should do as we're trying to do here in this Body, to get out by May 31st, to -- to go ahead and and make sure that we do have a balanced budget. But I think that a1l Wedre really doing is to -- telling them to continue along With the facade that is already there. understand your intentions, understand it very well, but I just don't think that those type activities work.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further discusslon? Senator Tom Dunn.

Thank you, Mr. President. Flrst thing I'd like to do is requese a roll call vote on this, and then ask the Senator a question. Would he yield?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Indlcates he will yield, Senator Dunn.

Senator, did understand you correctly to say that Social Security was not protected in this amendment?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Watson.

No. There was an amendment offered in conmittee by Senator Demgzio that would have put that provision into this resolution. agreed with that intent. He agreed to withdrau the amendment. said I Would mention this on the Senate Floor that I concur, and think that satlsfied his concerns.

To to the resolution then: I would hope that a11 the lndividuals who last week voted against tbe self-imposin: on our taxpayers a limltation eliminating property taxes ln support of education in December of 996, I don't understand hoW any of you could vote for this resolution, because it dces the sane thing. 1* self-imposes on the federal government what we would not self-impose on ourself, regarding real estate taxes in behalf of publtc education.

Well, mine Wasn't withdrawn. It was filed last Week, and we never heard anything about scheduling a -- a hearing.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Watson.

I unders*and from staff that the anendment is substantially the same as what Senator Demuzio 's was. The problen that We have with that is obviousky it has to go back to the House. I Would like to see this kept clean, even though I understand the intent of What youdre propostng, and -- and feel that it's an importank enough issue that we need to proceed.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further discussion? Senator Hendon.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Will the sponsor yield?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (GENATOR MAITLAND) Indicates he will yield, Senator Hendon.

Thank you very much. Senator Watsonr you agree with Senator Denuzio and Senator Welch, why didn't you put an amendmenk on this originally that would protect Social Security? Because if tf Social Security was protected, I could vote for this. But if uedre noE going to protect our senior citizens, Who fre going to need their Social Security, then how can we vote for thls?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Watson.

UnforkunaEely, guess the Senator wasn't listening When I responded to Senator Welch. 3ut the reason that did not accept *be amendment and won't -- would not agree to accept an amendment here on the Floor is Ehat tt would have to go back to the House for concurrence. think this is an lmportant enough issue that we need to proceed . 26  STATE OF ILLINOIS . 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 !

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further dlscusslon? Senator Hendon. I

Thank you very muchr Mr. Chairman. Well, sending something back to the House is -- is not necessarily such a tragic thing, I ! since We a11 have to pass each other bills anyway. And since T've been here, I've seen a number of -- of thingg go to concurrence and then come out Where people can live with it. I think this is a bad idea, simply because it does not protect Social Security for the senior citizens out there who are tryinq to strugqle and who will be trying to strugsle in the near future. If -- if Social Security was protected, I could vote for it. But without protecting our senior citizens, then 1'11 have to vote against this. Thank you very much.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Is there further discussion? Senator Jones .

Yeah. Thank you -- thank you very muchy Mr. President. Would the sponsor yield?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) He indicates he will yield, Senator Jones.

Sena*or Watson, could you tell this Body what is a balanced budget? When you say we're memorializing Conqress to pass a balanced budget amendment, could you tell us, (n layman's terms, what is a balanced budget?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) I Senator Watson.

Well, I guess that's probably in the eyes of the beholder, Senator, but What we would like to think a balanced budget is, ls that revenues coming in equal revenues -- expenditures going out. i 27  .i STATEIOF:.ILLINOIS 2 I'89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY . REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Jones.

Okay. Now, the reason Why I asked that question, because do we in Illinois, do We have a balanced budget?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Watson.

Obviously this is dilatory, Mr. President, because this question was asked previously, but I Will respond again. I feel, yes, we have a balanced budget amendment, a part of our Constitution. It is there, Senator, and we operate within the confines of our Constitution.

PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Jones. SENATOR JONESI Well, in addresslng the resolutlon, the reason why I asked that question, because if -- if such were truth, according to your awn words, Senator Watson, then we would not be naking bills this year and paying for those bills out cf future tax-anticipated notes; that is, lapse spending. We do not have a balanced budget here in Illinois. Matter of fact, if the truth were told, I belleve we'll fall somewhere between a blllion eight hundred million to two billion dollars in the hole. Now it seems rather ludicrous of us as a -- as a -- as a Body to memorialize another Body Eo for Ehem Eo pass a balanced budget amendment, when rlght here in Illinois - right here in Illinois - your oWn words said your revenues comlng in must match your expenditures. Well, you know and every -- every Member of this Body know that our revenue that comes in do not match *he expenditures that's coming out of the -- of the Governor's Office. That is why we have a lag payment as relate to Medicaid. We are far behind, 28  STATE.OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY '' REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 2l, 1995 borrowing noney. So -- it seems rather ludlcrous of us to try to tell another Body What to do when we don't do the same thlngs ourselves here in Illinois. And the reason why I asked you that question if it's in the eye of the beholder, if it's in the Constltution of the State of Illinois, then the Governor is in violation of the ConstituEion. So ve don't have a balanced budget in Illinois. So how you going to tell someone else to do something that we are not capable of doing here in Illinois?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further discussion? Senakor Demuzio.

Well, thank your Mr. President, Ladles and Gentlemen of the Senate. Let me try to put into some perspective what happened in committee. Senator Watsonts resolution was before the conmittee. I had offered an amendment, and th9 amendment is as follows, said: that would not count the teceipts and outlays of the Federal Old Age and Survivors' Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund or Social Security used to provide old age survivors and disabillty benefits for the purposes of the balanced budget. The House sponsor was also present during the committee. 80th, as I recall correctly, had indicated that that was the thrust of their amendment not to include Social Security or the Trust Fund that I had just indicated, and that there would be a representation to that fact on the Floor of this Senate. With that understanding, I withdrew the amendment, and as understand was naE on Ehe Floor but Senator Watson had indicated Ehat that was the thrust of his -- his feelings With respect to the balanced budget message amendment, minus counting the Social Security and the Federal Old Age and Survivors ' Insurance Fund. Wlth that representation and With the transcript of the ccnversation today, as Well as perhaps a commitmentv Senator Watson, of putting this into *he -- a letter 29  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21r 1995 that goes -- accompanles the balanced budget amendment to the varlous princlpals, that we had approved such, with -- with the exception that I just mentioned. And wlth that, it seems to me that that Would clarify what took place. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further discussion? Senator Severns.

Thank you: Mr. President. I join Senator Watson as a sponsor of this resclution, because think anytime we can send the message that we want a balanced budgety even though we ignore in this State in a very measurable Way, we should. But I'm a little embarrassed as a cosponsor that the sponsor of this resolution would stand there With a straight face and say we have a balanced budget in Illknois. Senator Watson, you should ask your colleagues in the pharmaceutical area, ask the pharmacists of Illinots if our budget is balanced, ask the long-term care providers if our budget is balanced: ask the hospitals lf our budget is balanced , ask the bonding houses of New York ëf our budget is balanced, and every one of them Will give you a big fat no . We have more debt under this administration than the adminlstrations combined. For those of us who thought the last Governor was bad about piling up debt, he looks kike he 's miniscule compared to this adminlstration. The deficit grows and grows and grows, and we do very little in this Chamber, or tn this Body, or certainly on the Second Floor, to diminish I hope we start acting and following khe lead Ehae youdre Erying to promote in this resolutionr and I hope the sponsor begins himself.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Is there further discussion? Senator Welch .

Yes. -- I hadn't finished when I was talking a little earlier, Senator Maitland. Thank you. You know, it's interesting 30  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislatlve Day March 2l, 1995 I thak we are giving advice to the federal government about i balancing the budget. You know, there's an old -- there's -- there's something I read long ago in religlcus tract. I think it ' was Saint Luke gho said, ''Physician, heal thyself.'' So before we startgivingadvicetothe federalgovernmentaboutbalancing the 1 budget, maybe we should balance our own. But it's amazing to me that we're standing here and there was an amendment in committee, there's an amendment on the Floorr to do exactly What Senator Watson says he wants to do, and Ehat is exclude Social Security from balancing tHe budget; but yetr he won't take the time just to bring it back, put the anendment on and then pass it over to the House. If -- if we are truly for balancing the budget and eliminating Social Security, that simple act would do wonders for improving this resolution and it would pass unanimously. But by not putting that amendment on, it's obvious that there's a different interpretation that could be added to the bill in the House and so it'd be subject to varying interpretations. But I think it's a mistake to pass this and tell the State of Illinois that we are for a balanced budget ln Washington that is going to include the receipts of the Social Security Administration as a way to balance khat budgek. We 've seen the way that the -- the cuts have been going in Washington so far: pu*klng a cap on school lunches, changing programs so that they can be reduced and sent back in a block grant to the states so there 'll be less money for states and less money for programs. This administration in Washington, D.C.: made this part of thelr ''Conkract wiEh America''. And it really lsn't flyln: very far. To balance the budget using Social Security means Ehat senlor citizens in the year 2002 and beyond will be subject to having their Social Security reduced each year, employers and employees will be subject to having their taxes raised. And I think tbat we're making a big mistake by sayin: to everyone that go ahead and balance the budget, but wedre I 31 ! STATE OE ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29*h Legislative Day March 2l, 1995 i going to use a few fiscal tricks, like We do in Illinois: to say we have a balanced budget. And the federal government can use exactly the same methods we use here ln Illinois and pretend like I we have a balanced budget, tell everybody it's balanced, but yet i use a separate taxing mechanlsm cf Social Security, which was : I meant to be a separate trusk fundr and say we have a balanced budget. I think we should be voting No on this amendment. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Purther discussion? Senator Butler. SENATOR BUTLER : Thank you, Mr. President. I'm a llttle surprised at this conservation, and maybe we al1 need a little lesson in civics around here. First of all, to those who complain that the Governor doesn't have a -- a balanced budget, 1et me remind the other side about something. Al1 of you sat there very meek, a1l of you sat there very hunble, you sat there Without a whimper, not one word of protest on budget after budget after budget that was passed through herg that didn't even come close to being balanced. So who are we kidding? At the end of every Session, We heard this very nobler very inspirin: conment about, Ladies and Gentlemen, Ne have a balanced budget. Wellr there wasn't anybcdy in this Chamber that -- that had any kdea that that was a balanced budget. So -- so we should control the budget, and we Wil1 ccntrol the budget. But 1 don't see any problem with thisr to just remind all of us that maybe that should be our -- our qoal. So I would suggest: stop crying, stop moaning, stop wringinq your hands, and star: workinq with us to get a balanced budget. That's What's happening in Washington. Thatfs what should happen here. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Is there further discussion? Senator Watson, to close. SENATORWATSON: 1 , Well thank you, Mr. President. I -- 1, first of ally Want to , 1 i 32 ;  STATE OP ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 2l, 1995 thank my hyphenated cosponsor for her kind remarks and her support of thls resoluEton. BuE firsk, I really have to say this, because - - I mean, and I nay lose some support for this and that's okay. 3ut the hypocritical remarks that Were Rade by some Members on the other side of the aisle, who were a part of the appropriations process, including the hyphenated cosponsor whose name is next to mine - and I appreciate that very much, the support that she's giving this -- this amendment - but for her Eo get up on the Ploor and make a remark like she made, blaning this side of the alsle or the Second Floor or to say that this budget - the State of Illinois' budget - which has absolutely nothing, by the way, Mr. President: to do with this resoluEion and thls -- what I'm offerinç here today, but to get up and say that, that We aren't responsible and point fingers somewhere elsey when, in fact, can recall al1 *he times that we sat here in the Minority, when someone else on the other side of the aisle maybe even that hyphenated cosponsor that's up there on that board - would get up on the Floor of this Senate and say, HMr. President, yes, we do, in fact, have a balanced budget in this State.'' And that Was part of the responsibilities of being on the Appropriations Committee, and many of the people who got up and spoke against this resolution are part of that appropriations process and sat at the table - and sat at the table - when the decisions were made, that yes, indeed, Mr. Presidentr Mr. @overnor and Mr. Speaker of the House, we do have a balanced budget in the State of Illinois. So, please, you send out all the press releases you Want, but don't get up on the Eloor of this Body and misrepresent what's gone on the past. Now' talk about What's before us, Mr. Presldent, and that is an effort a continued efEort - to encourage our congressional delegation to support the concept of the constitutional amendment of balancing our federal budget. We had in here today many Members of the Future Farmers of Americaz and I 33  STATE 0F ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21: 1995 think the one thing that the Future Farmers of America Want to have is a future. And if We continue to go down *his path of irresponstbility in Washington of spending habits that Ne dve seen i by a congressional delqgation from khis country, I'm not sure that i I that future is a11 that bright for our young people of this State I I and this country. I think the responsible thing to do by our j congressional delegation, our U.S. Senators: who both supported this -- and I applaud Senator Braun and Senator Simcn for the couraqe to support khe balanced budget amendmenk, but we think -- as we get letters. How many constituent letters do you get a day? That's What we're doing . We're sending a -- a letter to our congressional delegation from the House and the Senate of the State of Illinois that, yes, indged, we thlnk lt's important that the federal government operate in the manner in which most of us have to operate in our homes and what We operate here ln khis Stater and that's within a reasonable approach to balanclng the budget. I thlnk this is an excellent resolution. I encourage, obvicusly, the support of all Members, and I would appreciate Ehat support. Thank you.

I And 1111 be more than happy to answer any questions. PRESIDINGOFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) 1 ' Is there discussion? Senator Smith.

Thank you, Mr. President, and to my colleagues here in the Senate, and to the sponsor of thls resolution. I rise to oppose this resolution. I do this not as an affront to former President Ronald Reaganr whom I respect; however, for two years noW I have worked to name 1-57 for -- after the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. There is no doubt that one of my pet causes is to seek long overdue recognition for Afrkcan-Americans who have made a difference in this State and in this nation. I worked to have a statue built in the Rotunda for Adelbert Roberts, the first African-American Illlnois State Senator. I worked to have a statue built to honor Doctor Martin Luther King, and then I worked hard to have the statue moved to a prominent place on the Capktol Complex. And yes, I Worked to have a portrait placed in the Capitol of my late husband, Fred Smithr who served as Dean of the Illinois Senate. Why am I so concerned With the naming of 1-57 after Thurgood Marshall? Partly because he was a leader in civil rights movements and was *he first black Eo sçrve on the Supreme Court, but I want 1-57 named after Marshall because of his relatlonshlp here ln the State of Illinois. As an aEtorney for *he NAACP in the 1940s, Marshall and Corneal A . Davis: Who served thirty-six years in the House of Representatives, and sometimes my husband, would drive from Chicago down to Cairo, Illlnois, Where ! 1-57 today leaves the State. In Cairo, Marshall and Davis sued aqainst Ehe Cairo Board of Education for failing to pay black teachers the same as thelr white counterparEs. It was a hiskoric ' 36  STATE OP ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Leglsla*ive Day March 21, 1995 i I i pay equlty case and a historic victory. 1-57 was not built back then, but that Nas the general rouke taken by Marshall and Davis, i as they drove to Cairo and back. That is Thurgood Marshall's connection with 1-57, and I find it much stronger than former Presiden: Ronald Reagan's connectlons. There are those who think I am too zealous of my efforts and I have gotten carried away with this Thurgood Marshall thtng. Nothing could be further from the truth. We have offered to compromise. Why not name the East-West Tollway, Which goes near President Reagan's hometown of Dixon after Reagan and name 1-57 for Marshall? We were told heartily that maybe the sponsor would name b0th roads after President Reagan, and yet, I get called zealous? We ocfered to name the Cook County portton of 1-57 after Thurgood Marshall and the rest of the roadway in Illinois after Ronald Reagan. Again, this offered was refused. And today I offer my last compromise: Why not name 1-57 after Corneal A . Davts, who lies sick in the hospltal bed as we speak right now? Davls, who often rode with Marshall from Chlcago to Caira, served the State for years and was the first African-American to serve as Assistant Minority Leader in *he Illinois General Assembly. He Was commonly known as ''The Deacon''' ''The Orator''# ''The Prayer Man'' and Who served a very distinguished career here in these halls in the House of Representatives. You cannot argue that he was not from Illinois and that he is not deserving of this hcnor. Indeed he ls prominently mentioned in the Illinois Historical Preservatlon Agency 's recent publicatlcn entitled Generations of prlde: African-Americans in Illlnois. I submit to yOu -- I submit to you that you withdraw this resolution and amend it, naming 1-57 after Corneal Davis and naming another road, preferably the East-West Tollwayy after President Reagan. If you do not wish to compromise and name 1-57 elther Corneal Davls or Thurgood Marshall, then I urge a No vote in -- on this resoluEion. 37  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 Thank you and God bless you.

I -- I don't know; Senator Hendon, Whether I can ansWer that question, whether children have heroes. A1l children have heroes. Hopefully our children lcok upon us as heroes, and We have people in publtc, as well as private, life Who -- whom We looked up to and our children Look up to as -- not only as professional people, but as personal heroes. And hopefully every child in our State and in our country has a number of heroes that they could look up tor and hopefully they will find at least one of them in this Body. Maybe you, Senator.

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR MATTLAND) Senator Hendon.

To the resolution: I'm certain that there are some young black, African-American children out here in Illinois Who Will look up to me as a hero, and there are many who gi11 Laok up at Senator Margaret Smith as a great hero and role model. But I believe that today ghen this resolution passes, which it shall, and then tomorrow when the same sponsor, who I eonsider a friend buE I consider misguided and misdirected, comes forth with this bill to get rid of affirmative action, we're going to get to what's wrong wlth this State; we're goinq to get to what's wrong with this Chamber; we're going to get to what's wrong uith this country. It's people ltkeyou,mydearfriendrWho are Willing to 1 be a hero by putting forth Ronald Reagan but turn out to be a zero when it comes to putting forth a gentleman llke Thurgood Marshall. 1 I 39  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH CENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 It is wrong. NoW, I have no problem with naming a highway after Ronald Reagan, but 1'11 be damned I stand in here and always vote to name samebcdy Ksicl after somebody that you want to put forEh, but when my children need a black hero tha: they can stand up and look for that'll keep them off crack and keep you from puttin: them handcuffs around them and locking them up, not going to do because it's wrong wbat youdre doing, Walter. You're going to make black tigers, like me. That's what ycu're gofng to raise: because when you shoot down a fine Lady like thls that has a problem with no one, that'll work with anyone, what you're going to do is raise young black tkgers like me, and they 're going to come up and they're going to cause problems with people like you throughout this State, throughout thls counEry . And it's a sad day for America today, my friend.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further discussion? Senator Trotter.

Thank you. Would the sponsor yield?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Indicates he will yield, Senator Trotter.

ïes. Senator Dudycz, where did President Reagan live, here in Illinois?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Dudycz.

Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Trotter, Ronald Reagan Was born on February 6th: 1911, in Tampico, Illinois. President Reagan graduated from Dixon High School in Illinois, and he graduated from Eureka College in Illinois. He -- he went on to become a sportscaster in our State. He began his acting career in our State. He Went on to become the Governor of California and 40  STATE OP ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 : the fortieth President of the United States. Tn December of last t i year: the State of -- of California saw fit to name a highway I I after their former governor. This is where I qot the idea. In December, when I read in the Chicago newspaper that the State of Californla was naminq a -- a highway in thekr state, the General Assenbly there was naming a highway in their state after a forner governor, I thought -- it Was just as flttlng: if not more appropriate, for us to name a highway and recosnize a former President who is a true native of our State.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Trotter.

Okay . Senator Dudycz, so what you're saying is Ronald Reagan lived along this road that we now call 1-57. This was hls -- hls trail.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Dudycz.

Well, 1 don't know where his trail was, Senator, but I know that he has mentioned at least three separate, distinct locations throughout our State as places Nhere he either was born, Was raised or grew up , or began his professional career, and I saw -- I thought that 1-57, being the langest State highway, going through the length of the State of Illinois, was very appropriate to name after this great nan.

PRESIBING OPPICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further discussion? Sena*or Trotter.

Okay . But -- but voudre conceding that this was nowhere near he said where he lived or Where he fished and then actually went to school with. It was more near -- or Was it the East-West highway:Which isn't really a name, buk it's a hiqhway, right? So 1 41 I STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Leglslative Day March 21, 1995 more appropriately: what I'm getting at isr it Would seem that he would probably want that named after him or his famlly or someone, right? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Was that a -- a1l right. Senator -- Senator Dudycz. SENATOR DUDYCZ: Well, Senator, I don't know where Where Ronald Reagan fished in his youth, but I do know that there are several efforts currently the Illinois General Assembly to name various -- various roads after former President Reagany and 1-57 just happens to be the one that I am sponsoring and I believe is quite fitting for Ronald Reagan. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Trotter. SENATOR TROTTER: Okay. To the resolution: For oner don 't know when we, as a General Assembly, started patterning ourselves after California. As a matter of fact, I hear more ridicule about the things that they do in California, and thatds sone of the last things that we should be doing here. So I don't think We should be using their example of what to name our hlqhways after just because they did it first. More -- more power to them. However, seemingly this is the kind of legislation that has been -- been coming out of here with -- with more overtones of being vindictful <#ic>, of being mean-spirited. We had a bill for the past two years of naming 1-57 after Thurgood Marshall. ThaE bill was shot down because 1* would have cost too much money - was one of the excuses that I heard - he didn't live -- or he dldn't -- he didn't live down that road and so on and so on. Well, what I'm hearing today is that -- that sane private funding mechanism would have funded those same highway skgns Lf kt was the Thurgood Marshall Highway. I'm sure there's a not of -- a 1ot of benevolent individuals here in this 42  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 2lr 1995 State that would love to Eo help fund some kind of project like that, especially thcse individuals who are lcoking for heroes, as my colleague: Hendon -- or, Senator Hendon, mentioned. Alsoy we feel that this would have been an appropriate highway because we know that Thurgood Marshall did valk down this road, individually. And someone whofs from Cairo, Illinois, I've heard the stories of Thurgood Marshall coming to town. don 't remember Reagan coming through therey especially not in fighting for issues that I'm concerned with. Alsoy more appropriately, again, these are the klnd of issues, these kind of -- and this is petty issues. These klnd of petty issues is What -- as, againy Senator Hendon said, which divides this State, which keeps us at odds uith each other. Margaret Smith, Senator Smith, good faith, spoke with every Menber in thls Chamber aboue having that road changed to -- or, 1-57 to Thurgood Marshall. She, in good faithy negotiated and worked out what she thought was a realistic plan and deal 'cause this is a1l about compromise, down here - and Menbers of that side turned their back on her. We cannot have these kind of issues divide us. There 's too much already dividing this State, dividing this country and dividing our peoples. Senator Dudyczr I believe that Ronald Reagan should have a hiqhway named after himr one where his neighbors or people who grew up with bis famlly would recognize, feel nore comfortable wlth. It's like go down the street now, when I go down Martin Luther King Boulevard, it doesn't run a1l the way out in the suburbs, but it runs down my street. can identify with the Martin Luther King Boulevard in my neighborhood . I can identify with a Thurgood Marshall street running throuqh my neighborhcod. Many people my community cannot identify With Ronald Reaçan. And I believe that this is a Wrong vote at this time and ask for everyone to think in their hearts about dolng the right thing for a change and vote No on this initiative. 43  1I !

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Eurther discusslon? Senakor Welch.

Thank you, Mr. President. You know, a couple of years ago, we named InterstaEe 74 from Danville to Rock Island after Everett Dirksen. And as you go down the interstate highways nowadayr they have this Eisenhower system of road sign on every road, so I -- and noW you want to name an interstate after Ronald Reagan. I guess a11 we have left are Nixon and Ford'to name highways after, and we'll have pretty much the last fifty years conpleted . The -- the road doesn't go anywhere near where President Reagan grew up or went to school. That 's cver in -- near Senator Burzynski's district and west of my districky but it seems to me it'd be more appropriate to name Interstate 88, the East-West Tollway, after President Reagan. The reason is, it's elcse to his hamer and secondly, there 's a lot of bonds issued on it, and We're still paying them off; we're going to be paying them off for the next forty years. So it seems to me that that Would remind people of President Reagan and his presidency more than any okher highway in the State: Senator Dudycz. END OF TAPE TAPE 2

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further discussion? Senator Palmer.

Thank you, Mr. President. To the resolution: I would urse that we heed what Senator Margaret Smith offered as a compromise, 44  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 and several others have spoken to. There is a segment of the Illlnois highway system that is far more appropriate, if we are using as the criteria that forner President Reagan lived in Illinois. I think we have to narrow that down because certainly fcrmer President Eisenhower did not live in Illinois. And I want to just say publicly a word of -- of commendation and praise for Senator Margaret Smith who has worked so hard to name 1-57 after Thurgood Marshall, and who has taken some incredlble abuse. was in committee meetings With her quite often when she presented this, and I was ashamed on many days of the kind of treatment Ehat this great lady received. And I really, really would urge that we reconsider this resolution and in the splrit of naming the highway after a man who brouqht incredible progress to thls State, which I think is far more lmportant that We reconsider this and consider What Senator Smith has offered as a conpronise. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further discussion? Senator Jacobs.

Thank your Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. guess there are those who Would -- maybe on this side of the aisle more than the other side of the aisle: that would say that Ronald Reagan did nost of his best acting in Washingtonz D.C. But think that there is a real problem here, Senator. -- I firmsy want to vote for a road for Ronald Reaggn. have no qualms with that. If I would have bgen here in this Body, I would have voted for one for John F. Kennedy, for Dwight D. Eisenhower, and a11 cf the others that we have naned ln this State. And Whether it be 57 or whether be another road, I would ask the sponsor of this legislation that we can find another hiqhway that we can name after Thurgood Marshall, would you and your side of the aisle or would you do al1 in your power, Senator, to ensure that we would have like consideratlon for a road named after Justice 45  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 2lg 1995 Marshall?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Dudycz.

I'm sorrye Senator. Could you please repeat that question?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Jacobs.

Do you want to go a1l -- all the back to the acting in Washington, or just -- okay. I guess my question would be that there could be another road that Was found, whether be 57 or whatever it may be -- I 'm looking for a resolve to this issue, as you are. I think it Senator Smith has nade a very good point. I'm not sure if I agree With her compromise, but I think that there is a compromise out here. And I guess my questlon to you would be, would you be willing to do a11 you can and support another road somewhere in the area around 57y Whatever it nay be, to name after Chief Justice Marshall?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Dudycz.

Senakor, in seeking some sort of compromise earlier, it was mentioned thae someone would seek to have the Chicago City Council name the Chicago Skyway after the late Thurgood Marshall. As far as the State of Illinois naming a highkay, what we dre Erying to do is wedre trying to stay with *he Illinois natlves. Let's not lose the fact that Ronald Reagan is from our State. He was born here. He was raised here. He grew up here. He began his -- his -- his professional career here. He he has his roots, and his first third of his life Was strictly as an Illinois native. And as far as dealing with anybody else, whether is the late Thurgood Marshall or somebody else, if you wish to go -- I Would be more 46  STATE OF ILLINOIS i 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSJON SENATE TRANSCRIPT zgth'Legislative Day Marcb 21, 1995 than happy to support a resolution -- cospcnsor with anybody in this Bodyy to ask the City Council of -- of Chicago to name the Chicago Skyway after the -- the -- the late Thurgood Marshall. But as far as the State highwaysr it's my understandlng that We'd like to stay wieh Tllinois natives in these designations.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Jacobs.

Does that mean then, Senator, we are going to remove the names of JFK, Eisenhower, and does that mean that We are goin: to change the State of Illinoisr the Land of Lincoln, to the land of something else? Lincoln wasn't born in Illinois. So should we then say, yes, we lll name lt the Land of Burris or something? I - - I don't know if -- if -- if this -- thls argument really halds water. I guess my questionr just to repeat it again, because I'm not asking you what ycu would do to support an issue that the City of Chicago make a -- may make a resolve of. What I am asking you is that if this Body, and in particular Margaret Smith may be heading it up, find a way to propose another State highway, would you be willing to support thatw and to ask your other Members of your side of the aisle to support that?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Dudycz.

Again, Senator, youdre talking about a State highway being named after someone who is not a native of our Sta*e. Regardless of whether it is Thurgcod Marshall or -- or Roland Burrisy I don't know where -- Ronald Reagan, agaln, I musE relteraEe, SenaEor: Ronald Reagan is a native of Illinois. You mentioned Abraham Lincoln. You're right. We have a11 this Land of Lincaln. He was a former President. He was a great Americanr and he and he wasn't a native, but he was a Presldent of the United States. 47  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 I Here we have a former President of the United States, Who is a l I natlve of our State, and we are receiving this type of -- of -- of discussion. I can't understand lt. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Is there further discusslon? Senator Shaw . SENATOR SHAW: Thank you, Mr. President. Would the sponsor yield for a couple of questions? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Indicates he Will yieldr Senator Shaw . SENATOR SHAW: Was -- where was John Kennedy born? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Dudycz.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Shaw. SENATOR SHAW : I think you missed Senator Jacobs' point when you kept reiterating the fact that you wanted something named after Illinoisans. Those people were not Illinoisans. They happened to have been Presidents of this country. And Thurgood Marshall 48  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT /t;.'29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 happened to have served on the highest court of Ehis land. In listening to the debate here and listening to your answers in terms of a Member on this slde of the aisle trying to get you to reach of that side to reach a compromise on this question, I think that's what serving to divide this country and this State, and I don't think that we should be about that. How do you think that's going to play on the news this evening and in the newspapers tomorraw when young African-Americans, along with whites, hear the type of argument and debate that you are putting forth. A few weeks ago -- a few weeks ago when we tried to -- I tried to get an amendment on a bill talking about teaching of black history in this Body, there was some of the same arguments that you are putting forth here now, and I don't think that's good for our State. I don 't think it's good for young people in this State, whether they be white or blackr and I Would appeal to the to the lawyers: the attorneys that are on your side of the aisle. They knew Thurgood Marshall. They knew what his record was, and he did bring about -- in the decisions that he sought before the courts of -- of this country, he did bring about a heallng -- sort of a healing process for this nation, but today we are particularly over there on that side of the aisle - are trying to destroy that by talking about he wasn't a native of Illinois. His decislons on that court affected everything in this country - everything ip this country. And we shculd recognize -- the lawyers on your side of the aisle should recognize that. And would -- would appeal *o them that they should reject Ehis resolution. They should reject because Senator Smith Was right in her debate. I was on Executive Committee where that she pu* forth where she pu* forth *he 1-57 Thurgood Marshall resolution, and she Was treated inhuman. 68 probably would be a qood highway to name after President Reagan. don't think any Menber of this Chamber is objecting to naming a highway after a 49  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th'Lègislative Day March 21, 1995 former President of this counery, but neither should they be objecEing to naming a highway after a great person like Thurgood Marshall. And I think it sends the right message to the young people and all of Illinois, and I thlnk you should think about it, and Members on your side of the aisle should think about how -- when you cast this vote, how you are dividing our State. No matter what you say or do, you are dividing this State.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further discussion? Senator de1 Valle. SENATOR dEL VALLE ) Thank you, Presldent. I donlt know how much time Wedve spent thus far debatlng this resolution, but what ke should have had on the Calendar today Were two resolutions, one naning a road after Ronald Reagan, and another one naming a road after Thurgood Marshall. And both of those resolutions should have been adopted by a voice vote. That's what should have happened here todayr but the reason that hasn't happened is because there are other notivations here. And that's the sad part about a1l this about this debate. If ke cannat compromise on naming a road after two important figures in this country, in the State of Illinoisy then what can we do here? What can we do here? What can we do kogether? What can We do to serve as an example for communities throughout the State of Tllinois, who from time to time do send us a message, and that message is that they want us to apprcach as nany things as possible in a bipartisan manner? There is political motivation here, of caurse, but there are a1l other kinds of connotations that have been addressed here today, and maybe that is the real motivation. Maybe the real motivation here today is to drive a wedge even deeper. If th9 sponsor is not motivated as such, then I say to him that is the effect. And say to him that I also join Senator Jacobs and others in asklng him to make a commitment in the name of fairness, in the name of 50  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 2l, 1995 unity, in the name of what's right, and in respect for Senator Smith, given what she went through and in the treatment that she received. I say to the sponsor, show some good faith, be a gentleman, say that you will support naming a road after Thurgood Marshall and that we will do it in the same way you are doing it here and that we will do it for the purpose of showing some unity on something in this Body, and for the purpose of showlng respect to the African-American community and to the other communities in this State.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SZNATOR MAITLAND) Purther discussion? Senator Molaro .

Thank you, Mr. Presidentz Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Whether -- to the -- to *he resolution: Whether we call this Thurgood Marshall or -- cr Ronald Reagan obviously is open to debate. Sometimes you try to compromise. Sometimes it's impossible. Maybe it should be called Ronald Reagan. Maybe it should be called something else. I would never question anyone 's motives as to why they brlng something else. Senator from Chicago who sponsored thls resolution, I'm sure, has good motives, and he wants to honar President Reagan, Which I think is a great idea. However, as the Senator nust surely see from this debate, it's turning and it's turning into something it shouldn 't turn into. Now, it's certainly not his fault -- certainly not the Senator from Chicago's fault that all this okher stuff is beinq broughe up, buk the problem is, it is. And I khink that if we Eake Ehis vote today, and if We force certain Members to vote either along a party line, we 're going to be getting into a vote no* Eo hurt somebody's feelings. Senator Smith has been in this Body for a long, long time. Her motives are never questioned. If this vote ls turning into a rebuke of her, then what I ask my colleague from Chicago is this: Thirty-three beats twenky-six every single time. 51  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 You control the Calendar. Thks can be called up at any time. Why not spend a little time trying to sit with Senator Snith to see if i something canft be worked out? Do the courtesy of sitting, and I . see if it can't. I dcn't think there has been anybcdy sitting With Senator Smith for the past month or two. If We sit and it can 't be worked out, thirty-three will beat twenty-six a month fron now or two months from now. I don't -- just don't want the nessage to come out today that the message at the press is that lt's going to be perceived wronçly, and I think if we take this vote today, wedre going to have a bad perception. So I would request the Senator to shelve this, or take it out of the record today, and bring it up at some time in the future. Thank you. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Further discussion? Senator Collins. SENATOR COLLINS: Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senator Dudycz, the people that is going to make the contribution, per the amendnent that was put onto this bill, would they not make those -- for the cost of signs and whatever costs wculd be incurred with -- With naming this highway, would they not be amenable to doing the same thing for the Highway 88, which actually goes through the hometown where he lived? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Dudycz. SENATOR DUDYCZ: Senator, I don 't know what the -- the potential contributors would be amenable to doing. I -- this is going to be coming from sources ouE there that are nonpubllc. So we will be -- we would be appealing to the public in general to -- to be able Eo donate in some form to some sort of an account, which would be -- which would be placed directly into the Department of Transportation. And these -- these placards would not be placed until all the 52  STATE 0F ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 'o'.29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 monies were collected. And it's my intent that any dollars -- if I there were any dollars left after the monles that have been raised had -- had paid for the entire project, it's my intent to have . those dollars -- those excess dollars contributed to the American Alzheimer Foundation in the name of Ronald Reagan. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Collins. SENATOR COLLINS: Well, Senator -- well, someone said that there hadn't been any efforts to try to work this compromise out. We did . As the Minority Spokesman, Senator Smith, Was busy in Washington on State business, we sat down with the -- the Chairman of this committeey talked with the sponsor in reference to trying to make a compromise here. Nothtng was accepted. Senator de1 Valle, I think, capsuled it all, and I think what this is -- message is sending is the wrong message, Senator. And I think the people -- his family would probably be far grateful if this highway was named as 88. Nowr the next question: If Senator Smith's compromise is not acceptable, Will you then name Highway 88 after Thurgood Marshall? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Dudycz. SENATOR DUDYCZ: You know , Senator, I've been listenlng to nany of my well-respected colleagues here mentioning the late Supreme Ccurt Justice's name and -- and seeking scme sort of compromise. The focus of SJR 1 is to name 1-57 after a former President of the United States of America, who just happens to be a native of our State, and I really resent the fact Ehat people are trylng to make this into a -- a referenda of -- referendum of some kind , or a sparrlng of some kind, where if youdre not for one, you 're for the other. If you can't support What I say, Well then, conpromise. 53  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 What's wrong With Senate Joint Resolution No . 1?

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Senator Collins.

Senator -- Senator del Valle, basically, think, pinpointed very clear herey the problem. is a problem not that you created the problem, but it's the perceptlon of what is happening here today that's Wrong, which will continue to go on to call a 1ot of divisiveness in this Body that we really don't need right now. And think either you -- you -- We talk about the compromise. I guess the compromise is will that - because you got the votes - will you, then, name 88? It's not named after anyone. If we then Senator Smith put in a resolution, and I'm sure staff will do that immediately - EomorroW - to name 88 then after Thurgood Marshall, will that side of the aisle put the votes on for her? That's the issue here, because if We cannot respect and send a clear message and this resolutlon is sending the wrong message - not because people don't want to name any highway after Eisenhower -- mean, afEgr Ronald Reagan, buE because of *he crusade around naming this particular hiShway after Thurgood Marshall, going to say that this Body, with the leadership on that side of the aisle, has no respect fOr equity and diversity among people of this State. That, in itself, causes discourse, not unity.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) 54  ! STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT i I 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 Further discusslon? Senator Rarplel. Senakor Karpiel. SENATOR KARPIEL: Thank you, Mr. President. I truly hesitate to even stand and get involved in this debate, except to say that I think wepre debating the wrong thing. We're supposed to be debating SJR 1. The whole idea of naming 1-57 for Thurgocd Marshall came up several years ago, and it came up in the Executive Committee and we put it on the Agreed List and passed ik out of commlttee. It was defeated on the Floor. It came back again two years ago . We heard extenslve debate on it. We had ex-lllinois Suprene Court Justice Seymour Slmon down for a lengthy testlmony. We heard the testimony. Senator Smith has been extremely eloquent and articulate on this issue. We d1d listen to it. It dld not pass. Now, everythin: in this Body does not pass. And even if it's something that is near and dear to our heart, sometimes it doesn't pass. And I'm sorry that people are taking thls personally or racially or all different ways, but the fact of the matter is, is that naming 1-57 for Thurgood Marshall did receive hearings in the Senate Executive Committee. We passed it out one time. It failed on the Floor. It came back to committee tWo years later. We listened to great and lengthy testimony on it. It did not pass. I don 't know why we're talking about comprcmises here, and about Thurgood Marshall highway when we're now on a different resolution. I don't believe anyone in committee When this was passed made any commitment that lt -- there would be a compromise on i*, or khak we should change iE Eo a different road. 1* is Senator Dudycz's resolutionz and if you don 't like it, speak against itr vote against lt, whatever. But we shouldn't be tying it up with *he whole Thurgood Marshall issue, because it's a different issue. That one has had its hearing, and unfortunately for the proponents of it, it did not pass. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) 55 I  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 21, 1995 Further discussion? Senator 5m1th, for a second time.

Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and... I Want to just clear up two things. 1-571 that road was used because Ehat was the road that the people from Chicago traveled going from Chicago to Memphis, to Mississippiy to New Orleans. People coming from the southland to Chicago traveled from Mississippi, New Orleans, Memphis to Chicago, and a child riding in a car With his parents would say, ''Mama, Who is that man?'' And his parents Would say, 'fThis is a man who helped to implement the Emancipation Proclamation.'' That's why that was -- was chosen. 1-57. There was a sense of identification there. You said that Thurgood Marshall -- he should be State, because he served the southern part of Illinois, and then here in Springfield, Illinois, when the race riot was held here. Du Bols, an educator, a great man, organized the NAACP here in Springfield, and Thurgood Marshall was a junlor attorney out of New York, and the NAACP sent him to Springfield to flght the cases here. Now: that's just not one city; that's the State of Illinois, the Capitol. And another thing, one -- the next thing that I want to brlng to focus to you, khere was not going to be any charge fcr putking those signs up . The Department of Transportation from the State of Illinois said they would give six thousand dollars to put the signs upy which would not have cost us anlthlng at all. No more than a contribution from the Departnent of Transportation. It Was already cleared. So I don'E know talking about extra money, we did not have that expense on us. It Was going to be done by the Department of Transportakion. And Ehose are the only Ewo things that I Wanted to bring to focus to you, to say that this would help to bring more dignity to the people of the State of Illinois, that there was a man who came to this State and made a conkribution, bein: a Chief Justice from the State of -- from the 56  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 2lr 1995 United States of our country. That's all.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MAITLAND) Is there further discussion? Senator Dudycz, to close.

Thank you, Mr. President. I'd like to begin my closing remarks by stating that Thurgood Marshall was a great Anerican patriot. He did good things for our country, as a great American, in his private, as Well as his professional, life. But Wedre not debating whether he was a great man or not, because I think we al1 agree that he was a great American. What we 're talking aboutr Ladies and Gentlemenr ls Ronald Reagan. You know, -- -- Ilve been here in my eleventh year and I'm -- I'm quite disappointed in some of the comments. And some of the colleagues on the other side, when you're -- when you're telling me that my motivations are political and that driving a wedge deeper, and then you ask me to respect another Member of this Body, after your questioning my motivations. Or you come up with such statements saying that maybe Ronald Reagan did some of his best acting in Washington, D.C. Well, Senators, object to that statement. I think he was a hero. He should be a hero of a1l of ours. He is one of nine. And you are disrespecting Ronald Reagan by making those kind of statements. Like him or not, Democrat or Republicany he was the President of the United States, and he was a native of our State. I'm not trying to rebuke or hurt anyone. We did debate 1-57 for Thurgood Marshall several times, in both Bodies - b0th the Senate and the House. You tried it; you failed. I've tried legislatlon; I've Eailed. %ou so on. My motivation was that Callfornia had the forEiEude to name a highway in their state after a former governor. Not a native, but a former governor. And thought ehat was a great idea. They should be proud to name a state qsicl after a former governor, and we should be just as proud to name a hlghway in our StaEe afEer *he same 57  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 29th Legislative Day March 2l, 1995 individual, who is not only a former governor of their state, but he was a President of the United States of America and he Was a native of our -- of our State. He greu up in Illinois, and now he's becoming the middle -- in in .the middle of this controversy. You are disrespecting the nane of Ronald Reagan by doing what you're doing. You Want to debate sonebody else? Debate on your own legislation. You want to negottate? Negotiate somewhere else. We are debating Senate Joink Resolution No. 1. And what does it do? Does it offend anybady? No, it doesn't offend anybody. It asks that we -- We name a highway after the former President of the Unlted States, who was born in our country -- or in our State, in Tanpicor Illinois. He graduated out of Dixon, Illinois Dixon High School in Illinois. He graduated cut of Eureka College in our State. He's a great American. We should a11 be proudr and we should do at least what California did. They naned a highway afker a former governor. Wefre naming a highway after a native son of Illlnoisr a former Presidenty someone who we should a11 be proud of, Ronald Reagan. And I would just ask that we -- We vote Yes.
