of Cities and Villages and bring Rouse Bill 17 to the !

that I had a fair hearing on this Bill due to the

that I had nothing to do with original extention of a11

the Committees. I thought that was a bad thing. Every

Chairman of every Committee, except Herald Katz, thougbt

. that was a bad thing. And when I had heard that Herald

' t Katz had advised the Speaker that that's what is going 'I .

l to h'appen, I told the Committee Chairman ié's going to .

happen. When Herald Katz talks he's like E.F. Huttons

they a11 listen. Now that was a bad move. Now I1m

telling you that this is will also be a bad move because

Iwe are. . .going to spend al1 of Tuesday, at least, on

these motions. We know on Tuesday there will probablyI Ibe a full House, not until probably 2 in the afternoony I1

. * jso everything is shot until about 2 o'clock in the. 1

l' Jafternoon or...or the other thing that will happen is 1

l j tthe Speaker will go on at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and. . !! ''

, 1j he s going to go through those motions, none of you aregotng to be here, and they're a11 going to fail. So Idoa't think by extending it until Tuesday any of your

Imotions are going to be voted on favorably. They're

al1 going to be killed. So the easiest way to kill them

is by havtng a motion to adlourn and kill it all. A11 lf Illinois, lof state government; a1l of the people o

l' jqovernment will go on and I say that at this time the I

' Ionly good motion is one to adjourn and that's the one 1.

me the answer I will give it you, Mr. Greiman...the! .answer Parliamentarian advises me that under'Robebt's

Rules of Order a motion to suspend is not debatable.

Tbe question is on Representative Mugalianls motion to

suspend the rules so that the hearings on these motions

will be continued until Tuesday at 1 o'clock. 'Those in

'

favor vote 'aye' opposed vote 'no'. It requires 107t ,votes. Re'presentative Deuster, for what purpose do you

rise?''

Deuster: ''Yes, at one time the...the Speaker: you: Sir, said

that the motion was going to be read. It has not been

1read, but it is my understanding that the motion provideslI1that the motions would probably be heard by the Speakeri$

at 1 o'clock not'at some other time as suggested by 111

another Member. And that Members would, if wë adopt 1Ithis motion, be given a fair opportunity to present J

posted seven times. And seven times that Bill was

postedy the Sponsor knew that Bill would be beard the

l next time the committee met. In the meantime, I see the 1l

' . Sponsor who did not come befdre the Committeeuchose to

do something that we frown upon. I know according to

Robert's Rules it would not be in order but I guess

according to the Hoûse Rules it may or may not be,Ij introduce an identical Bill, whiçh was House Bill 2030. lI z...-ct-azz, -:e- tse co--tttee' -et thea ,-r th- lkst

ltime and the Sponsor was notified that not only his House!IBill 17 but also 2030 would be addressed by the Committee',1

he had the kiaority spokesman appear on his behalf. At ljI that ttme the committee took another vote on House Bill i 'll

. i17 and it again failed to pass out of Committee. j

According to the House Rules, when a Bill fails...yeah, '('

. jafter two times, the Bill is then considered dead. We l'

jthen addressed the request by the Sponsor that 2030 be l1

put into Interim. And a vote was taken and it only

received 8 votes. According to the House Rules if you f

want a Bill to be put in to Interim Study, you need a...l

you need two-thirds. which would have been 10 Members.

And that 'Bi11 failed to receive the required number of

votes to put it into Interim Study. I again wlsi to' j

tell you it had a very fair hearing. It wasvheard l$'

twice and it failed to pass out of committee. And I'

hat I agreed to put into Interim 1was one of the Bills t' ISt

udy with the assurance that this Bill would get the ''lisupport of the Executive Committee and be heard before i1

' !the House. Lacking tbe Membership being present to vote j

jassumption that it only takes 89 votes to discharge this 1

fI

Bill from Committee. I would u%.ge your support to do .61;that because I think this is one of the best ways we havell

of restoring confidence in our electorate. Our electörate 1.

Iwas very unbappy about the timing of our salary increases,I I

Imore so than the amount of the increase. And I believe j

reasoning behind the introduction of this Bi11, Rèpre- ll

'j sentative Stuffte and Kosinski and myself representing. ;I ' ;;downstate and upstate and bot: parties is that people '

. # .1

1 who are able and have the capacity to commit armed '1 . i

1than criminals. We're not going to say in a carte l

.:ll blanche sense, treat them as criminals in the sense of j

' jsending them to Joliet or to Pontiac or to Menard. I' j

' But in terms of our criminal justice syste'm. if they' 11l bave the nbility and the capacitz to commit that nature

!of crime, they also have the capacity to meet the...the '1I

dictates of the criminal lustice system. And to continue'l' to pat them on their little haloed beads and say go out 'i

hin another five or six nonths, which is the average ,lilength of stay for an armed robber or murderer fn our 1

. . !juvenile court system and do it again and again and jl

again and then finally when you're o1d enough, whem you're. .

we don't tighten these things up, the continufng rampantltncrease in this type of felony is going to continue by I

they will back ae up with what say whether they arel Democrat or Republican Members of the Committee. So we

1 tive Mcclain, Representative christensen and I were, 7 . . I l . .. : . .. . , : .back in Room 1228 in the last row. At that time we

I informed Representative Christensen and Mautino that the j

other Members of the...of the...who had had Bills in 1' there, that we had informed them that we thought that theli

best policy was thac these go to Interim Study Committee.tI

.1 At that time, R'epresentative Chrlstensen begrudgely iI I' acknowledged yes, Representative Mautino did not 1.1

acknowledge anything to the best of my knowledge. I

lput the motion to put these Bills in Interim Study 1j '

Committee. I'cannot for one say whether Representative !llMautino was in the room or not

y but he sure as heck. !iknew what the dispositïon of those Bills were. And if (1

he. .1 would say that by his abàence and by leaving the ti

'

lroom. he acquiesced. Additionally, we posted these BillsuI

Mr. Speaker. He was afforded a full and complete 1!1 5!

1hearing. And at the end of the hearing, because Repre- jI !sentative Mautino seemed to have a great deal of I

. Iinformation that the Committee wanted to have, and they j

f , sear from 1said, Representative Mautino, we d like to' jiyou in this.. .in tbe Interim Study Commfttee.! And I

he said, 'No, I want a vote up or down' 'and-we said,

'Let us...couldn't we please' and I used'Jthe word>

) I jqst. recejvednabovt a week'ago. Now the submission and1

information wfthin that document is the'basis for the

legislation 1227 in its original concept. Now I donft (l.' 1mind someone feeling that it was not proper fot me to 1

I.to present my case and not have it in the Subcommittee

iib

ecause I didn't think ft was fair when I knew in advance;1'

and I have the tape which I received from the Clerkfs IlI

Office, stating on.this House floor that I was informed 1$

by Members of this Subcommittee tbat there would be no ll

. 1Bills coming out. This is before the Subcommittee met

aad I have the tape and I don't think that's a fair. - 1

$1hearing. I don't want a Bill that I introduce td go I1to a Subcommittee that I know in advance and everybody !Ilknows in advance what the vote is going to be. So :

'

)therefore, I don't think it was fair and I ask that this 1

tI! House. . .that this House put this Bill out, listen to the :

j ' IIinformation and then decide for tbemselves. I woutd l

i. ;' like to point out also that that Subcommittee in the 1I1House did not address and did not 1et out any nuclear (:1j energy safety or nuclear waste Bills, neither did the j

1 senate. so for a11 intests and purposes, it's a very jiIimportant question to the people in the State of Illinoist

and we do not have any legislation addressing thel

'd like to point out is Iquestion. The second portion IIlthat Wilsonvtlle is closedv Seatonville is filled...excusqt

'

me> Sheffield is filled with nuclear waste and cannot be. l' Idumped there

. 9ow it's going somewhere, I think we Ishould have a voice in where itls going. That's whqt 1I

lthe legislation is about, tbat's what my motion is about.'!

chaos have gone home already. And I think, Mr. Speaker,
