Tipsword: HMr. Speaker and Ladies and Centlemen: this is a motion to

sustain the Governorls amendatory veto or to adopt hfs amenda-

tory veto and hts suggestions tberein for Amendment to House

Bfll 2435. This clears up some problems , some technical prob-

lems fn the drafting of House Bill 2435 which as you may recall

relates to the legislatfon wbich we passed to provide for stag-

gered registration of automobiles in the State of Illinoiss so

they'll be applying for them during nfne different months of'

the ycar instead of having them a11 come in during approximately

one three-month period. There is a technfcal problem in the

Bf11. Although the amendatory veto, if you read it, hits a num-

ber of different areas in which therels one or two words changed,

the general effect of the total amendatory veto and its sug-

gestions are to eliminate an inEquity iu the Bill 'Dhat would pru-

vide that a vehicle newly acquired fn Decembery January and

Februarys they would had to have paid nine mônths in registra-

tion fees for a ten-month period while othersy who bought in

other months of the year, uight have had to have paid eleven

months for a ten-month period. So this just simply eliminates

that inequity and provides the same kind of treatment for each

and every purchaser of automobiles during that entire year peri-

od and they would only be payfng for exactly the same length

of tfme. There would be no penalty, therefore, upon... on any

autonobile purcbaser during that time, nor would any automobile

purchaser receive any advantage over anyone elseoo

Membership and it appears to me from just a cursory exnm4nation

of tbis House Resolution 642 it makes liars out of the Chairmen

of various Committees who have indicated to people that Lf'Bills i

were placed fn Interim Study Committee: they would be heard or

have an opportunity to be heard and to bh reported back out ontol

the floor of the House fn those Comm4ttees. I know I have so 11

reported under the rules as they existed and have existed in

this House during this Session. And if thfs passesy ft appears 1

to me that I would have to turn to everybody who has a Bill ïn

Interfm Study Commfttee and the Insurance Committee and say to

. them, 'I'm sorry, but the rules have been changed in the middle

of the game and what I told you fs absolutely not true. Your

Bill's not going to get out and not be reported.'''

Speaker Bradley: 'slurther discussion? 'fhe Centleman from Dupage,

Mr. Schneider/'

Schneider: f'Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members of the House. I share '

Reprçsentative Tipsword's concern about the frankness of our

attftude toward Interim Study a couple of months ago. What

this Amendment does in relationship to those Bills fs to pretty

much simply say, #We presumed that everybody would have %ad

their Interim Study Bill heard by the date stated in this

Resolution.' Thar presumptfon fs erroneous ohviously, and now

we're being squeezed into a period of time that limits us not

only by the boundaries of the natural process that we are fa-

miliar wfth fn the Legfslature, but also now we're distorting

what was the orfginal concern about Interim Study. Those Mem-

bers that wanted to hear their Bills had the opportunity cer-

tainly since July of last year to deal with it but for some#

reason could not. But ncg that we are downstate and nearing

a full-blown Session, what weRre really sayfng to tbem is ft's

getting kind of late for that. We won't be able to hear the

Interim Bills and we're going to be very selective about what I!1we hear. I think ït again does exactly as Representative Tfpsword i

Isaysy changes the rules in the mfddle of the game: and I tbink

that says very little about our abilfty to be candid and out

I rise in support of this... tules and particularly in respect

to the Interim Study B111s. It just seems to me that ff you had

an Interim Study Bill that went to Interfm Study last July l I

or before July 1, you'd have adequate tfme to ask the Comm#ttee

Chairman to appofnt a Subcommittee to hear that particular Bi11.

And those people who are serious about thefr Bills, I'm sure

are... either have tbe... have hearings scheduled at thfs point

or have had them in the past. And 1 think they show that therefs

a process in which they want to move with the Bill and have it

moved out. Those people of the six huadred aad some Bills tNat

are on the Calendar fn the varfous Committees that have had no

action, ft seems to me at thfs late date to come along and want

to have soue Committee hearings is a little bit late and they

aren't really that serious about the Bflls. And for that reasona

to the people of this state that weere not gofng to be studyfng

in our mental health institutions. A11 weVre going to do is

welre going to cut off everything and make ft impossible. really

impossible for everybody to dfscharge a Committee or for any-

body to get a Bi1l out that we ltave to really discuss. You knalz,

I think that we have some hard decisions to make in the coming

year. I think we have bard decisions to make wtth regard to

Chfldren and Family Services. I think we have hard decisions

to make on school finance. I think we bave hard decisions to

make with regard to the mental instftutions. And if we adopt

thfs Resolutfon, I think what wefre really saying to the people

of ïllinois is we don't really care to adopt anytning. We really

don't want to address those problems. We want to have potttics

as usual.. We want to give tbe Governor a free ride and I think

if any Democrat votes for House Resolution 642, he ought to quft

the Democratic Party/'

Speaker Bradley: ''The Centleman from Cook, Mr. Telcser/'

Telcser: fNr. Speaker and Members of the House, ever since we went

to annual Sessfons some years ago, weVve always been faced with

the dflemma as to how to conduct our business in the even num-

bered years. There's been no real opposition to tryfng to have

an orderly procedure whenever this Assembly meets, particularly

with the appropriation process. And most of the people who have

been fntimately fnvolved with the process agree thad the even

numbered year ought to have as much as possible the princfpalI

amount of fts attention paid to that reveaue and appropriation

process. Wefve always been facèd with the conflict and dilèmmn

of how expanded or how much of a Sessfon we ought to have in

the even numbered year. Nowy I think that the... thfs Resolu-

tion strikes a good balance. That is that if you had a Btll E

. in Interim Study Committee at tbe time of adjournment and it iwas heard, that Bill fs alfve and that Bill is exenpt from the ë

rule of having your Bill gofng to the Rules Commzettee in order

to see kf it could be exempted. So I think we should be looking

at a ' broad program, ra ' broad pfcture of how to conduct the

business of this Legislature. It has absolutely nothing wbatever

to do with politicsy no matter who may or may not be the Gov-

ernor or no matter who may or may not be the Majority Party or

the Speaker of tbis House. It sfmply... it simply fs about time

that we did everythfng possfble to bring an orderlyy deliberative

procedure to what we do in the General Assembly. The more weVre

fn Sessiony the more days we spend fn Sessfony the easier it is

for us to fall into the... into the pattern of considering al1

kinds of Bills, no matter when we come into Session. I don't

think there's a Member of tbis General Assembly who does not

admit privately, ff not publicly, that the amount of time we

can spend or the attention we give to the appropriatfon process

whfch afzer a11 fs the heart of what werre doing is adequate.

It is totally inadequate. And one of the reasons weVre faced

witb shortcomfngs and inadequate time and inadequate attentfon

we can pay to that process is because we'll always have substan-

tive legislation to consider. So again I repeaty in my judg-

ment, I think we have struck a reasonably good balance betweea

substantive legislationywhich could be considered in this year;

and yet, we are able to devote the majority of our time and at-

tention to those matters dealing with appropriations and revenue.

And so, I really think in a11 due respect to the people who area

in a sense, talking about a full-blown Session, which by the

way fs where I have always in the past been: I think wefve re-

speeted their wishes and yet have... and yet We're setting the

. precedent to leave most of the time available to us to the revenue!

appropriation process.. And Is for one. am going to support House

E. Barnes: ''We11, Mr. Speaker and Members of tbe House, my problem

wit: this as has been indicated early on is that we just got

it on tbe desks. Now, tbere is some confusfoa here. Fart of

the... two things that I1m concerned about. 0ne fs relative

to Bflls in Interim Study that would require a change now ia

the midstream because some of us have legislation there. 1:

for one, have legislation there. And they have not been heard

because of certain extenuatfng cfrcùmstances relatfve te t:e

piece of legtslation I have there that was a governmental Com-

uission upon it dealing with that subject matter and thaz's the

onty reason that that Bill has not been heard. Now, under these

rules if that Bill is not heard by April 5, it's going to require

me to go back through a process that was noty did not exist when

tbat legislation was introduced. I think that what veVte doing

here is we're changing borses in midstream and werre going to

make ft extremely hard for us to follow legfslatioa that we have

worked on for some time. I think agafn, also, new legfslation

that would be involved fn making certain klnds of chanses other

than approprfations and finance would have... would create a

real hardship on the proposal of the language as now embodied

fn this rule change. I vould solicft that we either or be given

some time to look at the wording in this change or othérwise I would

have to solicit opposition of this particular rule change at

this point.''

no provision for suspension of those rules. And I remember the

kind of frustration that we had fn the House at that time be-

cause tbere were Bills that a majority of the Meabers of the

' House thought should be handled and there was no way of getting

' to that because the joint rules could not be suspended. And ff

we had thfs provisfon in these House rules, that Subsections

Speaker Bradley: ''The Gentleman from McRearyy Mr. Skinner-''

The preceding speaker from Sangamon County has, as usual, under-

stated the enormity of the theft from the Menbership of power

that this rule wi1l... will result fn. Representative Jaffe

has told us what welre talling the people of the State of I1-

lfnofs. Well, basfcally you#re telling the people of the State

of Illfnois that Lf you have a problem, you'd better have the '

problem in an odd numbered year because any crisfs that comes

fn even numbered years, unless the power brokers on the Rules

Committee agree wfth that crists, is not gofng to get coasfdered.

as I may observe it, that is Just baloney. This has everything:

Ito do with politfcs. It just has nothing to do with parttsan

politfcs. If you are a leader and if yoa are fn power whfch k

a minority of this Membership 1s, then youfre going to be able i

to do what you want to do. But if you're an average Member ïn

the Illtnois General lssembly, youVre not going to get anything

occurrfng fn Skokie that... I wondered ff therels anybody that's '

an expert in German hfstory that could tell us what Hitler dfd

after he took control of the legislative body in Cermany. Do !

you think maybe he took the pover away from the Membership to!Iwaive rules or did he concentrate ft so much that the Member-

ship couldn't then initiate any changes chat ft wanced to'f Now,lsomeone has argued that Approprfations Bills will be givea more

cons ideration by the Membership this year if they are not allowed' !

to consider anything else. Nov who's kidding who? Most of the

Membership doesn't give much attention to Approprfations Com-I

mittee any year whether ftfs odd or even and there's a very good

reason for that and that is thst the Governor has the absolute

ability to raise appropriatfons... well, to do evezything except

rafse approprfatfons. The only way we can hurt the Executive

budget is by passing less money than the Executive wants fn a

given lise item. Now, 1'm reading Mr. Campbellfs cartoons, looking

at them in the press cllppings and in the Dafly Newsa aad I no-

tice that he's doing an inordinate number on property taxes and

how the Illinois Legislature is characterized... is being charac-

terized as someone who fs basically thumbfng its nose at the *

taxpayer. Well, there's a myth going around that I think is

befng slightly perpetuated on this floor that fn odd numbered

years or, excuse me, even numbered yearsy that is this year

we're gofng to consider Appropriations Bflls and Revenue Bills.

1That is not true. If you want to do anything about property

of Interfm Study Bills. Upon much discussion by Representative l

Mahar. Monroe Flinn, Don Brnmmet, Ceorge Ryan stating the fact

that there were Members that were seriously pondering tîe neces-

sity of their Bills that were placed fa Interfm Study. That

was expanded to provide that if there was a hearing, a hearing

mfnd youy on that Bfll sïnce we adlourned ln July up to aad in-

cludfng the mlddle of April, that Bill would not have to go back

through the Rules Committee. I think it's fair. There are ninety-

some Bills in tbat category as of today and I know that each and i

every one of the Members knows what Committee thefr Interfm Study 1Bi11 is in. Al1 you have to do is to ask the Eomnittee Chafrman

to be so kind and post your Bfll for a hearing evea after the

prfmary be tween Marc: 21 and the middle of April. I donlt be-

' lieve that causes any additional concerns. I think you have an

ample opportunfty to have your Bflls posted and to be heard and

to be recorded in or out. As far as the Commq'ttee Billsy the

Republicans were quite concerned with the possfbility of aa ahuse

fn the Committee Bf11 system. For thls reason, it was re...

upon a jotnt agreement that the Commlttee Bills would be limited' to the miâdle of April as well. Nou rhe Senate has adopted a

set of guidelines and I believe if you take a look at t:e Bills

that we#re gofng to have to be consfdered betveen now and the mid-

d1e of May and if anyone in his soul 'wants to get out of here

by the end of Juaea I would strongly recommend they read Resolu-

tion 642, understand it and adopt it. Thank you.'f

attempt to structure a tradltional even numbered year sessioa.

The proposed Amendment represents a compromise between two ex-

treme views relative to the fortbcoming Spring Sessfoa. 0n the

one hand there are those who feel that we ought to have a re-#

'

Play of our last Sessïon and consider a1l proposed pieces of

legislation. On the other handythere are those who feel that!

' every Bill has to be approved by the Rules Committee so that l

tance to government. This proposal by recognizing that Interfm

Study Bills where the Sponsor has demonstrated an interest in

that Bi11 over the summer by conducting a publfc hearing ought

to be exempt. And secoidly, it recognizes that Committee Bills

where the primary Sponsor of the Committee Bill has worked with

the Committee over the summer and now is fn a position to cause

that Committee to introduce its Committee Bills ought to be exempt

also. Given tbose two exemptionsy I believe that we have struck

a good compromise between these two extreme views and that we

ought to adopt this Amendment to the ruleso'f

tunfty when this Bf11 was being debated to ask the Sponsor of

the measu're as the Majorityieader why they would suggest this proce-

dure. In actuality, there's no doubt why thèylre suggestfag

thfs procedure. The Committee which is charged with making the

rules wants to break the rules. And that's just the sqay it's

been down here for about the last four or five years. Those

people who have tbe authority want to have the authority to their

best interests but not to the interests of the people of the

State of Illinois. It's been my experience that ln the second

year down here, we handled three types of Bills - approprfation.

revenue and emergency matters. It's also been my experience that

the only thing thatls an emergeacy matter are those Bills spon-

sored by the Leadershlp. Now thatîs just not the case. The

Leadership of this Legislature has not done the job ln the last

four or five years as fs pretty evident by the problems the State

promïsed last year would be givea a full opportunity for hearing

in the spring. We were told that there would be no new Bills

allowed to be fntroduced in the spring, but these Bills were

a11 introduced this last year. I think ft would be very inap-

propriate at this time to turn over any more power to the people

who have already abused that power. I think thfs Bill should

be soundly killed and this rule should not be cbanged.l'

General Assembly to address itself to a very pressing need ofI

the Junior colleges within the Cïty of Chfcago. This is simply

the land acquisition Bill that would allow the City of Chfcago!

to proceed to attempt to acquire land for a junior college sïtey

and I tbink that the Members of thfs Assembly realize that our

efforts to do this will be brought to nought ff we cannot at

least have our vote today. Now youlre talkfng about one of the

more deprived junfor college systems and why the Governor would

veto ft. I think thfs Body has a duty and an oblfgation because

I pofnt out it's not just the Cfty of Chicago this time and many I

of you can cast those red votes and says well this fs the City

1of Chicago's problem. I'd lfke to pofnt out to you that when

ït rains, it rains a11 over. And whea the rain from Chicago

drains off. itfs going to come downstate. And youere going to

be hera before thfs Body time afcer cime crying abcut t'ae needs

of your districts, telling us what you need and what must be

doae for your particular district because of the disasters that

have occurred. I say that wegre trying fzithin the City of Chfcago

to anchor one end of the loop to bring back tha't kind of con-

struction that will make the City of Chicago once again perhaps

not Just the second city in the natfon. but perhaps the first.

Now I point out. you can ignore our pllght, you can ignore our)

problem and you can say, hah, ft fs yours, not ours; but Centle-

men, I say to you, remember, it's gofng to melt. The snow that

came throughout the state is gofng to melt. It's gofng to melt

ln your dfstricty your bridges are gofng to be washed out. Your!

creeks are golng to overflow. You're going to cry for money.

Any government-budget is more than just a blueprint for spendiag

of a fiscal plan. It is also a moral and political statement...

a guide to the basic prforities and goals of the admfnistration

which presents it. Talk =ay be cheap, even in governmenty but

the dollars and cents figures of a budget are the litmus test

for a whole year of pronouncements and promises. In an hoaest

budget, as we have had for two years now, the citizens of a state

can clearly see the importance given varfous activities of state

governaent... the distinction between khat the state would like

to do and what the state can afford to do...and the bargain which

has been struck between meetfng the needs of the present and

avoiding an undue mortgage on the resources of the future. In

recent years, two trends have combined to work against dramatic

increases in the size of government budgets. Both trends appear

to be strong in every part of the ccuntryy as well as in b0th

political partfes. The first trend is a heightened skepticism

about the powers of government itself. Again and again, people

have come to questiou not whether a government program is well-

intentioned, but whether it can ever begfn to accomplish what

it fntends. It is no longer enough to isolate a problem in order

to Justify a governmental solution. Today you have to provtde

a reasonable expectation that the solution w111 be etfective

and that it will be worth the tax dollars that it consumes. This

last consideration- mthe consideration of values..oià a part

of the second trend...a greater appreciation for the cost of

government to the people who pay for it. And once youVve sbown

that a government program is effective, you stlll have to weigh

it agafnst the dollars that .it takes out of people's pockets...

the money they don't have to spend on food or clothing or cars

or homes because the government has other plans for it. Taxes

have never been popular fn the history of this or any nation.

An o1d joke bas ft that kf the American colonists didn't like

taxation with representation...they should come back and find

out what taxatfon with representation is like. Unfortunately:

that è1d joke becomes more appropriate and less funny each year.

many Illinoisans, as well as sharp increases in the Social

Security tax, the cltizens of our state look to Springffeld

not only with anticfpations but also with a mixture of exas-

peration and fear. They know tbat tax revenues are not some

4 1kind of vague resource fabricated out of other people s excess

income. Tax monies.o.especially the sales tax and the incomeIi

tax...represent real chunks out of real people's income...

money that they won't have to spend in their own lives. Taxes Ii

are not only a drag on the economy, they are a drag on the in-

dividual pursuit of happiness of persons who work very bard for

the privilege of paying them. As such, that tax money is a

trustee.one whfch must be used with t:e utmost wisdom and care.

Last yeary tbe government of Illinois showed a renewed appre-

ciation for that point of view. After years of deficlt spendingy

spending whicb had nearly wiped out our General Revenue Fundy

we passéd a balanced budget. What's more, it was a balanced'

budget witb no tax increase. It prevented bankruptcy and the

. need for higher taxes. It restored confidence in our abflity

to provide and pay for human services. It protected our AAA

bond ratfng and saved Illfnois taxpayers mfllions of dollars

fn interest costs. And one thing more...it eliminated the de-

fïcft base in our budget. A penay saved is a penny uaraed, saud

Poor Riehard's Almanac a long, long tlme ago. But in budgeting

terms, a penny saved is also a penny carried over...a saving

that reappears in the form of a lower base the following year.

0ur fiscal discfplfne in fiscal 1977 and '78 gives us room to

take a breath in 1978 and 179. This does not mean that Illinois'

fiscal crisis fs over. It is not. 1he wolf is stilt at the

door. But at least we have closed that door in hfs face. And

as long as we remain insfde the parameter of our modestly ex-

panding revenuesy we will be safe and secure. What does a11

thfs translate to in dollars and cents? As Senator Dirksen fs

supposed to bave said, IA billion here... a billion there and

ït can add up to some real money-' This year's budget for the

State of Illfnofs adds up to $11.26 billion dollars-..an fncrease

of 4-.7 over last year's budget. Lfke last year's budgets it

the bank. Eleven millton dollars. This should ratse our gen-

eral reserves from $85 million at the end of fiàcal 1978 to

$96 million at the end of fiscal 1979...1ust about the $100

million mark whfch is necessary to protect against cash flow

problems and sudden emergencies. Also, like last year's bud-

get, it fs balanced with no suggested tax increase. This is

notable because unlike the federal government and many other

states, we do not depend on a progressfve tax rate a rate

whfch permits inflation to drive people into higher and higher

tax brackets. In spite of that facts we are still the only

major state to go without a tax increase since l969...and witb

your help, we will be proud to keep that record going into fis-

ca1 :79. As was the case last year, the largest budget ia-

crease will be for education. That increase of $182 mfllioa

in new spending is nearly 50 percent bigher than last year's

$125 million iùcrease, and brfngs the level of total education

spending to $3.2 billion from state and federal sources. Thls

wfll represent on the average a per student increase of eight

percent, clearly ahead of the expected fnflation rate of ffve

to six percent. Real education in Illinofs requires real dolu

lars 1nd this budget contains real growth in those dftllars for

fiscal 1979. In addition, the budget for elementary and second-

ary education includes for tbe ffrst time 100 percent fundfng

of statutorily mandated programs. These include transportation,

special education, bflingual instruction, and hold-harmless pro-

visions. Last year, almost a11 of us safd it was time to stop

the practfce of requirfng local governments to take particular

actfon, and then disappearing when the bflls for that actioa

came due. This education budget, I belfeve, delivers on that

promise. I encourage the Ceneral Assembly to consider formula

reform ïn education during this Session. But I repeat my pre-

vious statement that I cannot sign formula reform unless it is

equitable and fully-funded in this year's budget. We must not

go back to the political shell gane of now-you-see-it, new-you-

don't educational fundfng fa Illinois. The higher educatlon

budget will permit an eight pereent salary increase for academic

staff and a 10 percent increase for non-academic staff. Aad

at a tfme when many levels of government are looking for ways

to help middle-class families afford rising college costsy this

budget includes the most basic and universal type of help:

There wfll be no tuition increase in fiscat 1979. Transporta- f

tion is vitally important to every citfzen of our state. This I

budget contafns one of the largest road progrnmq of any stateI

in the nation...almost $1.4 billion. This dramatic ffgure was I

made possible by the combfnation of the Crosstown agreement plus I

more aggressive work by the Department of Transportation in se-

curing federal dollars for oue highway fund. In fiscat 1978

and 1979, Illinofs wfll receive $1.25 for every dollar that ft

contrfbutes to thé federal highway fundy a sharp turn-around

from the negative road fund return of the last several years,

as well as a marked eontrast to continued federat discrimina-

tfon fn other areas. State support of local public transit sys-

tems will exceed $160 million, and an addftional $205 million

of state and federal funds will be used to upgrade transit sys-

tems. Tbe state will also work for federal solutions to improve

faltering rail servfce and act as a catalyst for a united fed-!

eral, state, local, and private effort to advance vhe St. Louis

Rail:zay Gateway Terminal Project in East St. Louis. Rising pro-

perty taxes have been a serious burden on homeowners through-

out the statey and no one is more vulnerable than the our senior i

citfzens. They have seen their homes shoot up fn vatue on papery@

'

while they remain on a pension or other ffxed income. The cir-I

cuit breaker program was passed to provide relief to this group

of people. But fn many ways ft remains one of the best kept

secrets in Springfield. 1 sometimes think that some people who i

were proud of the circuft breaker program silently hoped thatE

not too many senfor citfzens would take advantage of it. This

. ipast year we changed that. The Lieutenant Covernor s offfce#

the Department of Aging and the Department of Revenue went out I1and made sure Lhat persons who were eligible were made aware

people than ever before registered for the program. And what's

more, we provided them with back payments for Lhe past five

years of eligibility. For that reason, I will ask for a supple-

mental appropriation of $l9 million for fiscal 1978 to pay for

the much higher participation in the cfrcuit breaker program.

In additfon: I believe the program itself should be expaaded.

This new budget contains $20 millfon for expanding coverage of

the program, about a thfrd of which will enable us to raise the

maximum income level from $10.000 to $12:000. Sfnce the maxi-

mum grant was raised last year from $500 to $650, this repre-

sents the second major expansion of this program during this

admfnfstration. In my 'vfew, no one deserves a break more than

people who have workedy aad saved, and paid taxes a11 of their

lives. And I tbink we should give them a bigger break fn 1978-

In a momeaty I will highlight departments and progrxmlx which

deserve individual mentfon. But before I do: I want to estab-

lish the thread which binds them a11 together. That thread is

very simple. It is 'jobs'. Jobs in the private sector. Jobs

in the public sector. Jobs secured by new initiatives to get

federal dollars. Jobs created by aggressive salesmanship in

agriculture, fflm-making and tourism. Jobs protected by a stable

tax climate and balanced budgets. Jobs attracted by tax ia-

centives and revitalized state-local cooperation. Jobs continued

and expanded wfth a strong capftal spendfng program. Up and

down the lineoeefrom agency to agency and from first dollar to

last...the heart of this budget fs employment and the economic

health ft will brfng to the people of Illinois. Some of the

specffic fnitiatives...great and small.o.which we will pursue

fn flscal 1979 fnclude the following: Acontinued personal

lobbyfng 6f administration offfcfals, accommodation with offi-

cials wfth the City of Chicago, for a renovated Midway Airport

wfth a potential of 10,300 jobs by the 1980's. Wcreation of

1,300 new full-time jobs through increased Illinois partictpa-

tion in foreign trade shows and missions. WTwo-and-a-balf mil-

of Interstate 270, which will create employment ia the East

St. Louis area during 1979. The total in the number of direct '

and fndirect Jobs will eventually reach 6,000. *319 new full-

time jobs with the Illinois Young Adult Conservation Corpsy as

well as over 1,000 seasonal jobs under the Department of Con- i

servation. *4,800 funded public service employment jobs. plus

2:500 in the Youth Program under the Governor's Office of Man-

power and Human Development. *400 participants in the Skill !1

Training Improvement Program under the Department of Labor.

*An increased level of participation in the Minority Business

Enterprise Program by small and minority businesses in the

State's economy. In addition to these government programs, a

strong capital budget witl.insure continued stability in the

prfvate construction fndustry. I have already mentioned the

exceptionally big transit program. This budget also includes

$15 million to begin work on a new state offfce building for

downtown Chicago to help revitalfze the city's loop. Coal

Development Bondsy which were sold for the first time fn fis-

ca1 1978, wfll provide support for tbree bold new capital pro-

jects. A 1ow BTU coal gasification plaa in Pekin will combine

state, federaly and private funding to create an fnvestment

fn excess of $160 million. Agreements will also be sfgned

shortly for state particfpation in a demonstration of the

fluidfzed-àed combkstion process at the Great Lakes Naval Sta-

tion. Fluidized-bed combustion involves tbe buraing of high

sulfur coal, precisely the type of coal which Illinois has in

abundance. In this prolect, less than $800,000 in state funds

wfll be matched by almost $8 million in federal and private funds.

Tbe budget also includes $3 million for a proposed coal liquids

refinery. We hope the availabilfty of these funds will en-

courage tbe federal government to choose Illinois as the site

for this refinery. In additfony $1 mfllfon wfll be available

in fiscal 1979 for demonstration projects usfng alternate forms

of energy, such as solar energy or agricultural waste conver-

Ision. On top of a11 these state jobs and government-generated

jobs. the budget for fiscal '79 also fncludes a sfgnificantn . . A

initiative to generate more jobs entirely fn the private sec-

tor. As I announced several weeks ago, I will support an Amend-

ment to 'Aending legislation creating a phased exemption from

the state sales tax for business equipment or machinery in a

new or expanded manufacturing facility. wThfs wfll put the exemp- '

tion where it will do the most good and ereate the most jobs.

By permitting a 50 percent exemption in fiscal 1979, and a 100

percent exemption in fiscal 1980 and beyond, we can afford this

tax fncentive without any new or replacement taxes. As most

of you know, Illinois is the only mfdwestern state that still

has such a tax. That means that wefve been fighting the battle

for plant locations with a sélf-inflfcted wound. It's time we

healed that wound, and put Illinois at the front of the line

agafn. And with your helps we can do it this year. There are

many other aspects of the budget which deserves careful exqm4a-

ation, but economy fn government demands economy in speech-

making as well: so I w111 limit my comments to the most note-

worthy changes. In the Department of Public Aid: 10 straight

months of declining welfare caseloads have made it possible to

make our resources go further. For example, I believe we are

now in a position to be able to grant a five percent fncrease

to recipients of public assistance. Even with this increase,

the total income assistance figure in the budget will be less

than it wai two years ago. Our efficiencies as well as the

state of the economy have made it possible to offer more help

to our people at the same time we spend less. And when was

the last time a government could say that? This is also the

first time in four years that a supplementat appropriation will

not be needed to balance Public Atd spending. The budget ia-

cludes the transfer of responsibility for publfc assistance I

fraud from the Department of Public Afd to the Department of

Law Enforcement, and signifïcantly fncreases our capabflities :

fn thfs area. We can and should have more help for those who

deserve it.eebut we want no help for those who don't. In the 1area of human services, the Purchase of Care Review Board which

we created last year has worked effectfvely to reduce inequftfes

and gross underpayment. This budget includes a substantial per-

centage increase for doctors, dentists: pharmacistsy optome-

trists and other health care provlders. It also provfdes a

more equitable fee schedule and elimfnates the absurd prac-

tfce of payfng newer physicians more for the same service that

we pay older and more experienced physicians. Department of

Public Hea1th expendftures for local health services are up

by 25 percent due to more effectfve use of federal Title XX

funding. An increase of 50 percent has been allocated for so-

cfal services includfng adult day care under the Department on

Aging. This will enable more elderly people than ever before

to remain in their homes and nefgbborhoods, rather than be forced

by their minor disabilities into the drastic separation of cus-

tedial care. Increases in tbe Nutrition Program will enable us

to provide a better diet for 100,00G elderly persons...one out

of every 10 livfng fn Illinois. The same concern about unneeded

use of a custodfal institution is reflected in the budget of

the Department of Mental Hea1th. Their allocation is up by $24

millfon wfth the percentage of increase for community-based care

more than double the percentage increase for custodial care.

In the Department of Chfldren and Famfly Servfcess 1,800 chil-

dren for vzhom the state has responsibility, wfll be admini-

stratlvely transferred to prfvate agencfes for monitoring.

Under thfs budget, these agencies receive a signiffcant rate

fncrease for performfng this type of supervfsion, and the fos-

ter families themselves will also receive a rate increase of

about 10 percent. Ne tbink private care agencies, many of which

have a religious affiliatfon, can do the Job and do tt better

than the state. Here again, the intention is to improve in-

home counseling and work toward a lesser retiance on institu-

tional care. Twenty-nine state workers prevfously assigned to

monitorfng foster chfldren will be transferred to the critfcal

area of emergency response to child abuse. One area of state

government which produced many pleasant surprises in the past

year was the Illinois office of Fflm Servicess which brought

us the television productfon of êThe Awakenfng Landy' and

awakened us to the possibilities of many nore dollars for our

state in this field. The Film Services budget is up by 63 per-

cent as a result of the millions of dollars in spendfng that

office attracted to Illinois last year. The Department of

Tourfsmy which has a similar function andr is a funded by a

hotel/motel tax, is also up dramatfcally..oby 120 percent. I

have pledged to bring more jobs: money and business to Illtnois

and expanding tourfsm is a good way to do a11 three. The De-

partment of Agrfculture w111 receive an increase to provfde full

funding of the County Fair Grant Program for the first time fn

several yars. New funds are also included for tighter graia

inspectfony nursery inspection and weights and measures certi-

fication, to protect consumers and merchants alike. Thirty-tvo

million, oae-hundred thousand dollars in capital development

funds are earmarked in thfs budget for Food for Century III...

an investment that will fmprove our agricultural and veterinary

knowledge for decades to come. Appropriatlons uader the Depart-

ment of Local Governxent Affafrsl Distributive Fund will fn-

crease by thefr statutory formula because income tax collections

are up. In ffscal 1979, those funds will amount to a tidy $178

mfllion fn string-free revenue sharing to the local governments

of our state. When I took office just over a year agoy the

agency of state government wbich faced the most immediate crisis

was clearly' the Department of Corrections. Over-crowding fn

our prfsons had reached dangerous levels and a federal suit over

medical treatment remafned unsettled. And we met b0th problems

head on wfth the cooperation of thfs Assembly. By convertfng

the Logan County Mental Hea1th Facflity to a 750-bed medium

security prisùn we were able to save almast $25 million over

the cost of building a new facility. In addition, two new

facilfties were authorized at Hillsboro and Centralia and the

indivfdual consumers is hfgher and higher utility bitls. This

budget includes fncreased funds for research and legal investi-

gation by the Illinois Commerce Commfssion. Thfs increase will

permit greater research of issues raised in :he regulation of

utilities and motor carriers and enhance the capacity of the

I.C.C. to adequately and independently decfde those issues.

It will enable the development of policies designed to achieve

uniformftyy consfstency and fairness to the conpanies it regu-

lates and to the people of Illfnois whom it serves. More funds

will also be avaflable Lo the Department of Insurance for

greater consumer protection in an area of the market where com-

parfsons are difficult and mistakes can be very costly to our

people. Another type of consumer protection will be dfrected

at protecting taxpayers by providing 30 new inspectors and 70

nev auditors for the Departments of Revenue and Law Enforce-

ment and the Illinois Liquor Control Commission. This will

ffght the type of abuse revealed by the Chicago Sun Times and

newspaper stories in recent weeks. I am recommendfng that we

spead $1 millfon this year and $5 miltion in the Department of

Revenue over the next three years to computerize the withholding

tax system and automate sales tax processfng and audit selec-

tion. Wnen the rtew systems are operaticg: we caa cxpect to in-

crease revenues by a minimum of $1& million a year by reducing

the amount.of tax fraud. Another type of fnspectfon which will

receive greater funding is the area of mfne safety under the

Department of Mfnes and Minerals. This, of course, does not

exhaust the areas of state spending which have received a note-

worthy increase. I am afraid that by covering a number of them.

I may only antagonize those wbo 'are concerned with areas which

are not mentioned. Well, a few days ago I received a letter

from a group of private sector professionals who deal with one

agency of state government. These professionals took me to task

for only mentionfng the department they deal wlth for two sen-

tences in the State of the State Message. The: thought my

prioritfes were misplaced and that I obvfously couldn't care

very much about sometbing I would only mention in two sentences.

But that is not true. Much care and much thought have gone fnto

a11 the numbers fn thfs budget Just as I know that much care

and mueh thought will go into your consideration of the numbers

in this budget. And I think those numbers speak louder about

my goals and my priorities than a number of words a department

gets in a formal budget speech. This budget serves up the proof

of the pudding. I safd we would go for jobs...and it does. I

said we would move away from institutional care...and we have.

I said we would have another balanced budget with no tax fn-

crease..oand with your help we'will. And yet for a11 the many

increases contained in thïs budgety there is one decrease.'of

which 1 am especially proud. Debt service.y.the money we pay

for the privilege of using moneyoamthe moaey which measures how

deeply we are borrowing against the resources of our children.

and their children...the increase fu debt service wklk' be down...

again. Bqcause total bond sales w1l1 be down-.aagain. The 1n-

crease in debt servtces had reached the unbelievable level of

$47 million in fiscal 1977: tbe last yeay of the prior admini-

stration. But that was the peak. 1or ftscal 1978 we brough:

the increase down to $40 miltion. In this budget for fiscal

1979 it is down still further to $34 million. Thomas Jeffersoa

said, 'The care of human life and happiness and not their de-

structfon is the first and only legftimate object of good govern-

ment.' Last year I said our budget was one which met the needs...

kf nôt always the expectations of the people of Illinois. This

year we have a budget which meets the needs clearly... and

maybe a few of the more important expeqtations as well. My

friends, we have turned the corner and we are not going back.
