98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE

129th Legislative Day 5/13/2014

09800129.docx 1

Speaker Lang: "The House will be in order. Members will be in

their chairs. We shall be led in prayer today by Pastor Shaun

Lewis, who is the Illinois State Director of Capitol

Commission, serving the political leaders of Illinois. Pastor

Lewis is the guest of Representative Brauer. Members and

guests are asked to refrain from starting their laptops, turn

off all cell phones and rise for the invocation and Pledge of

Allegiance. Pastor Lewis."

Pastor Lewis: "If you'd bow with me in prayer. Father in heaven,

Book of Proverbs likens wisdom to a woman that's crying out

in a busy street for someone to listen, but no one stops

because everyone's chasing after silver and gold. Proverbs

reminds us, blessed is the one who finds wisdom and the one

who gets understanding, for the gain from her is better than

the gain from silver and a profit better than gold. All of us

are tempted by these things, to chase after them. May we chase

after the wisdom that's found in Your word. We're in the final

stretch of the regular Session, three more weeks, I know that

seems very long, it will come and go very fast as it does

every year. Comfort our lawmakers as they spend time away

from home and their staff as well, as many feel exhausted.

May they look to You as their source of joy and strength,

even salvation. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."

Speaker Lang: "Be led in the Pledge today by Representative…

Representative Halbrook."

Halbrook - et al: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United

States of America and to the republic for which it stands,

one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice

for all."

very special guest today in the House gallery. I have a… would

like to recognize William Ingram, a Springfield native of

World War II, a POW survivor. Mr. Ingram enlisted in the Navy

in 1941 at the age of 17. You want… There he is, up here.

After boot camp, he was assigned to the heavy cruiser the USS

Houston. Shortly after arrived on the ship, Houston was

operating in the Pacific Ocean, engaged in several battles

with the Japanese Imperial Navy. On February 28, 1942, the

Battle of Sundra Strait began. In the early hours of March

the first, Houston was struck three times by torpedoes, rolled

over and sank. Of 1,061 soldiers and Marines aboard, 693 were

lost. Ingram and 368 sailors abandoned the ship into the

Pacific Ocean. And spending a day in the water, the Japanese

patrol picked up… picked him up. Once they found out he didn't

STATE OF ILLINOIS





09800129.docx 4

have any information, interrogated him, they throwed him back

in the water. The next day, 24 hours later, a fishing boat

picked up our… our friend and not sure where to go, they took

him to land and they seen… seen a Red Cross flag. They

received medical attention, clothing, and then during the

night, the Japs come in and took them as prisoners of war.

For the next three years, he was a… he and his fellow POWs

were forced to work in construction on the Tai-Burma railroad.

After the World War II ended, they were still working on that

railroad for the three years. After the war, he remained in

the Navy and was promoted to rank of Chief Petty Officer. He

remained in the Navy and retired in 1961, after retiring to

Jacksonville, Florida, where he lives today. So, Ladies and

Gentlemen of the House, on June 13 of this year, Mr. Ingram

will be celebrating his 90th birthday. Please join me in

thanking him for his service to the country and for a happy

birthday."

Speaker Lang: "Thank you for your service, Sir, and happy

birthday. Thank you very much. Chair recognizes Mr. Harms."

Harms: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A point of personal privilege."

Speaker Lang: "You may proceed."

Harms: "I would like to introduce one of Representative Anthony's

friends, Ken Guldenbecker from Minooka, Illinois, who's here

as… as Representative Anthony's Page for the day. If we could

give him a Springfield welcome."

Speaker Lang: "Welcome aboard. Happy you're here with us.

Representative Cloonen."

Cloonen: "I have today as my Page, twin brother of Mr.

Guldenbecker, I have Jack Guldenbecker with me today. He's an

Springfield welcome also."

Speaker Lang: "Hello. Happy you're here. Mr. Welch."

Welch: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Point of personal privilege."

Speaker Lang: "Proceed."

Welch: "Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, May 10, at about 9:15 p.m.,

Proviso East High School in Maywood suffered significant

damage to its building. Proviso East is 104 years old this

year. It is the home of numerous NBA legends like NBA coach

Doc Rivers, NBA legends Brewer, Michael Finley and many

others, and also the founder of BET television came from

Proviso East High School, as well as my very own Senator,

Kimberly Lightford. I want to personally thank each and every

fire department from the Village of Maywood, Bellwood,

Broadview, Northlake, River Forest, Forest Park, Franklin

Park. All of those heroes came to the 7th District into

Maywood to save our historic building. And I think this Body

should give them all a round of applause."

Speaker Lang: "Thank you, Representative. Well said. Members,

we're moving to page 5 of the Calendar, Senate Bills-Third

Sosnowski: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Bill essentially codifies

what's currently practiced within sanitation districts. Just

clarifies that board members will only come from those areas

in which the sanitation district serves, not from areas that

they may have contracted service. I'd ask for passage of this

Bill. Thank you."

Walsh: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 3942 is a district

initiative from Chaney-Monge. Basically, they passed a

referendum. They had some questions last week about it. And

basically they passed this referendum, the language wasn't

right on the ballot and they came to us to fix that. I'd be

happy to answer any questions. Ask for an 'aye' vote."

Speaker Lang: "Gentleman moves for the passage of the Bill. The

Chair recognizes Mr. Sullivan."

Sullivan: "Thank you, Representative. Will the Sponsor yield?"

Speaker Lang: "Sponsor will yield."

STATE OF ILLINOIS





09800129.docx 7

Sullivan: "Representative, we started the discussion last week

when there was not a lot of people on the floor. Can you go

over the reasoning behind why we're coming to the General

Assembly on a referendum that already passed by the voters?"

Walsh: "Okay. What had happened is the language that was put on

the ballot was basically… it says seek voter authorization.

So, when they took that to the bond issuant company, they

basically said the language wasn't right so they wouldn't

issue the bond. Basically, we came back down here to fix that

and… and give them the authorization."

Sullivan: "So, the bond house has asked for this change to make

sure that everything is legal to go forward with the already

voted-on and passed re… referendum."

Walsh: "Exactly right."

Sullivan: "Okay. Thank you very much."

Speaker Lang: "Those in favor of the Bill will vote 'yes'; opposed

'no'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all

voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Bellock. Please take
