Hirschfeld.''

Hirschfeld: ''Well, Mr . Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the

kHouse, anybody khat had an opportunity last week to read

'the report from the lllinois Legislative Investigating

Commission on the three president's homes at Eastern,

Western and I.S.U., could not fail but note the deplorable

job that's been done by the Illinois Board of Higher Edu-

cation once again. And as you all know, I introduced a.

bill a yearfago, it's been reintroduced again this year;

and it's going to be reintroduced next year, to abolish the

Board of Higher Education. Now, this particular institutio

has gone from a budget of about $400,000 to several million

of dollars and I've yet to see it justify its existencebefore this General Assembly. I realize that my comments '

are going to go in vain, we're tilting at windmillsg but I

think we need to tell the Illinois Board of Higher Educa-

tion either to do its job or to quit. Frankly, it's a'sad 1lstate of affairs, it was under Governor Olgllvie and it is

' under Governor Walker, when the Governor tells the Board of

Higher Education how much money education can have. The

Board of Higher Education then goes to the various univer-

sities and colleges and tells them how much money they can

have and that's what their stuck with. When we instituted

' the Board of Higher Education: they were instituted in orde

to plead for higher education to this General Assembly.

Instead of that theyRve become the tool and lackey of the

Governor and of the Bureau of the Budget in the State of

Illinois. It was bad enough under Olgilvie when they were

in Chicago. Governor Walker's done even more now . He's

brought them back to Springfield where he can complete..

'keep them completely under his thumb. And I think for once

ke ought ko turn down their budget and go back to the old

system where we fund these universities direct and save the

State of Illinois several millions of dollars that's bping

- wasted by the Board of Higher Education.''

' Rep. A. Telcser: ''Is there further discussionw''

Lechowicz: ''We11, Mr. Speaker, if I may just respond to thatbriefly. If you take a look at the budget request in

House Bill 24?.5, we're talking about 'as amended'. An

appropriation of $1,05$,000 for operations and $23,165,000*for grants. Now, the previous speaker may disaqree with '

' the sqay the higher education budgets are submitted to this

General Assembly, but, in turn, I think there's another

checkpoint and a very valid one, that the various univer-

sities that are covered within this budget do have a

screening agent. And, in turn , the various people from

higher education, the various school teachers, the assessor ,

in turn, have a direct input, and have somebody accountable

, there are certain areas that should be corrected. I

too concur with the excessive expenses as far as the

universit# homes. But, in turn, if you'd report in tctal

the report shows that there were devious accounting

measures used by this President and I think that the

State should havé retbibution coming back from these

people through law suits. I don't think it's a direct

Ylap at the Board of Higher Education, they should have

been aware of it. Maybe they don't have enough audit'

xpeople to go through and varify the various fouchers

that were submitted. But in timep I still think this

is an appropriate budget a'nd I would hope for your favbrabl'

at $350,000 in Fiscal '73 and '74 with $50,000 going to

state boundaries to provide graduate education. The' xparticipating schools include Augustana College, Northern

Iowa State University, Maycress College, University of '

for a non-recurring cost to perform a study of college

tuition for the above universities. This amount was not

to be taken out of the base. This, here, 312,000 is

requested for a 50% start-up funding of the Mid-lllinoisk

will be thoroughly'justified. The Illinois Financial

Assistance Act for Non-public Institutions for Higher'

Higher Education passed in 1971: and this year the

direct program ko Non-public Colleges and Universities.

The Board of Higher Education distributes grants to

the institutions by the following formula: $100 per

Ereshman or Sophomore at the Illinois State Scholarship

Winner, and $200 for a Junior or Senior who is an.lllinois

.resident. Based upon the computation as far as the number'of upper classmen and middle classmen that appropriation'

xis at $6,000,000.''

Juckett: ''Ah.. thank you. I think it's interesting that we

should know what these monies are actually going for .-

rather than just lumping it together for the Board of. Higher Education. I think I would join with my colleague

from Champaign County and indicating that this Board has

been very laxed in the past over the spending of money.

And I don't think it was a mere oversight on their part %

as to the Presidential Home. Because if it was an over-. k

sight, then theydre in worse shape than we think, because

everybody in any town.. every town.. where these homes

were built, knew how they were being built, knew theI

fact that they were using a subterfuge to get around

the State Appropriation Act. And when these Presidents

can have a home built by the foundation, and then obligate

the States for paying hundreds of thousands of dollars

so khat the President can live in kingly splendor. I think

we ought to take a second look at this Board of Higher

'no' and letting them realize that we are aware of some

but I think the board has been irresponsible and I think

there is only one way we can show our attitude and that's

senses of the word, a fine educational system. But having

missed the roll call and came in and registered a 'no' voteNon the University of Illinois budget, I would like at '

this time to suggest that my negative stand is for the

operation of the department. We have several dozen,

perhaps several hundreds of well-quakified, Illinois

young students who are trying to get in the University of

we take approximately l0% of the Law School candidates

this, that I'm in love with the 1aw profession, but I

think it's a classical exrmple of our law and our

medicine that we continue to fund constantly and

incessantly the gigantic educational systems of this

state and fail to remnmher that they were designed for

Illinois students by charter. Therefore, Mr. Speaker

to follow my lead will register a complaint onlyk ' r.

as far as providing the necessary financial assi.stance

fact that under the Illinois Financial Assistance Act

for Illinois residents. And the second point under the

I am going to vote for it. I think it is a good concept

feeling that scholarships area awarded by this commission

on the basis of who can do the best job of lying as toNwhether they need the scholarship or not. And after

considerable discussion, they finally wound up with the

propo... the conclusion that this is probably true. And

available to determine whether or not people were really

And they could 1ie to high heaven about what their

this Scholarship Commission would come up with some

better means of determining the needs of students to

have these scholarships that has been through in the past.

I'm going to support it this year, but I.. I'm also

going to try to did around and see if I can find some

means of amending this bill and praviding some greaker'equity and fairness in providing these scholarships

than this one, which would provide educational opportunity

for Illinois' fine young people, and ah..... the money for

new programs, it seems to me, ought not to be viewed as

a detriment. It ought to be viewed as an additional in-

presents amendments that the sponsor of a Bill may not

favor, or without going to some discussion with the sponsor

over it. However, this North Shore Sanitary'District

belongs to me and the voters just as much as it belongs

to any one sponsor. Amendment No. 2 to ah.... Senate Bill

876 would provide that any rate increase in the North

Shore Sanitary District, any election holding for such

rate increase shall be at either a county wide primary ori '

.general election. Nowy Ladies and Gentlemen of the Housey

Qet me say that the reason I support this amendment and

frankly the sponsor of the ..... House sponsor of the Bill

ought to really be presenting this Amendment and not 1, -'

l- because when the RTA election was held in Lake County, therewas nobody who spoke louder for the facts that Lhe RTA

referendum shouldn't have even been held in the primarye .

but in the general election when al1 of the voters, or a

good percentage of them will come out. Now, Ladies and

Gentlemen, We have talked very often of tax relief. We

have here before us a Bill that is going to tax people. .

It's going to call for people to go into a referendum .

We've got an election coming up in November. The trustees

of the Sanitary District can put that on our November !

ballots. There would be nothing precluding .them from doing

lit. Eh.... now back in 1968, %le held a 35 million dollarreferendum and we also had a rate ipcrease at that time.

That was held at a special electicn when only ten percent

of the people voted. In our rimar election here on RTA ,. s..f.,...,t..% z I o.t% x'-) A;ég -J7a > . G E N E R A 1- A S S E 51 B L Y' ) w-kj . yyktq , ! ï svwxu o,- , uu,x o.s! z ..: , j. V' , V Y . - ' . g.r:'.C ' H otl SE O F R E PR E Se; NT A T I V ES'r n .. %:x*.<

vle had at least about 34 percent. Now the trustees of

the Sanitary District, they've had two releases. One

said they're going to have election in September. Then

evidently, they must have thought 'wait a minute, that'sl

coming too close ko the general election. Somebody is

going to find out what we are doing. So the next release

I saw, they are going to have it in laie summer. Ladies'and Gentlemen cf the Housey they ought to have it in. k

'is a good amendment fcr the people of the.state of

I am a representative, and 1 would ask for your support.'' -'

A. Telcser: ''Is there any discussion? Lady' from Lake, Repre-

sentative Geo-Karis.'' -

A. Geo-Faris: ''First of all, we wouldn't even be here on this

Bill, if there wasn't a real emergency existing in Lake

County. The comparison the prior speaker makes of the

RTA and this Bkll, does not hold water at all, because

it's two different things. It's just comparing apples to

peaches. The..... his Amendment No. 2, I am opposed to

and for this reason. If this Bill is concurred, by the

Senate, with Amendment No. 1, if it's passed by the House

hereg then the sanitary district will be allowed to have

The People will decide whether or not they will accept the

change in tax rates. There is an emergency because the

Alright, now, the Supreme Court said that the Sanitary

District has the power to sell bonds for Capital expendi-

operational expenses. Therefore, we cannot help the people

Representative Geo-Karis supported and I believe that

Representative Matijevich doesn't really oppose this, butto delay this particular election until November

As much as I admire my colleague from Antioch, I must

tell you something about him he didn't reveal. And that is

he doesn't even reside in the North Shore Sanitary District

And neither does the Chairman of the Lake County Board

of Supervisors, because only the east 1/3 of Lake County

is located on the North Shore Sanitary District. He.''does

represent consituents that reside in it. But he doesnpt.

never in thè history of man since it was founded in 1912

was a Democrat every appointed a trustee of the North

Shore Sanitary District. They got a perfect, 100t record

of appointed Republicans. It was 'even worse when the

chief judge of the circuit court did it. And before that,

the county judge. They were the most partisan people

you could ever find. Now the Chairman of the County '

Board and the County Board is acquainted bad, because

wedve elected a few Democrats to it. But, let me tekll .

you that khe Chairman of the Lake County Board doesn't

livelin this district. He makes appointments, we have

heavy real estate tax on the people and theylre appointed.

Let's elect them. The two biggest sinitary distrlcts

in the State are elecked by the people. And this is

the third biggest. There's no reason why this sanitary

district shouldn't be elected. It fluted the lake, it

delayed the clean-up 6f the lake, it torn.. it's torn>bp streets throughout my community, it tried to build

it is in a11 fairness of our system, to elect people.

However, from a different standpoint, and L would say

more procedural questions, I do not think that now is

the time nor the place to add this amendment to this

feel that this amendment is germane to the bill that is

presented before you /or consideration today. What

they're asking you to do at this point in time is to

èompletely change the manner and means that you elect

- get it some authority to raise funds so that it can

continue in' existence. I would therefore suggest that ' '

you vote 'no' on this amendment, not because it's a bad '

amendment, but rather because the timing is not good

Committee would answer a question. Last week I had a bill

before the committee, House Bill 2272, and T was assured in

front of the committee that that bill would be the first

bill heard and discussed by the committee today. I think

it's arbitrary and I don't think it's in good form to ex-

goes to the heart of some of our new Rules changes. As you

recall, many of us have been fighting to help the public

who come here at their own expense. They're not paid

lobbyists. They can't afford to be here a1l the time.

They don't have an office downtown. Theyfve got to scrape

up and take off from their jobs to come here. Now, Rule 22,

is titled right to the public. This is our rule, the Body's

rules. Let me read it to you. 'If a bill or resolution
