The Amendment to this Bill addresses an issue that many of us have been hearing from… from our constituents regarding the payment of child care providers in our community. The other piece of this legislation moves money around so we can pay Medicaid bills." Speaker Lang: "We're going to move this to Third. Those in favor of the Amendment say 'yes'; opposed 'no'.

Clerk Hollman: "Senate Bill 2450, a Bill for an Act concerning appropriations. Third Reading of this Senate Bill." Speaker Lang: "Representative Feigenholtz." Feigenholtz: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, Ladies and Gentlemen, many of us have been hearing from constituents and our child care center providers about the fact that we've run out of appropriations. This is a supplemental so that we can continue to pay them through FY12 and as well as some Medicaid bills that our providers in other sectors have been waiting to get paid. I'd be glad to answer any questions." Speaker Lang: "Mr. Bost." Bost: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?" Speaker Lang: "Lady yields." Bost: "Representative, you said it is a supplemental. It's not exactly a supplemental. Would you consider it a re… reallocation?" Feigenholtz: "Yes." 09700137.doc 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 97th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/16/2012 Bost: "Okay. And I think that's an important thing to realize. We're not moving off the number we set last year on the budget. This is just a shift from one line item to another allowing that shift?" Feigenholtz: "That's correct. It… it's a shift." Bost: "Can you tell me, I… first off, I felt like and maybe I'm wrong, I felt like in last year's budget when we put this together we actually put enough money in that line item for child care, didn't we?" Feigenholtz: "We did. But unfortunately, we had a greater demand and under appropriated for this." Bost: "Okay. Okay. So, exactly where did the Governor move money from and to… 'cause I'm assuming that had to be done under the Governor's authority to make that move, correct?" Feigenholtz: "There… there was unexpended money for Medicare Part B. It was essentially an offset. So, going back to what you said Representative Bost about this being a shift, we're not spending more money. We're staying under our cap; it's just moving money from one line to the other to pay our providers." Bost: "No, I don't think that's what I'm asking. What I'm asking is we put enough money in our child care line items to cover child care through the end of the year at the level we've been running. Is that not correct? Is that not correct? Okay. I think we're paused here." Feigenholtz: "I'm sorry. We… apparently there's more pressure on the fund than we thought there would be when we finalized our budget last spring." 09700137.doc 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 97th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 137th Legislative Day 5/16/2012 Bost: "Well, okay. Maybe I’m getting misinformation. Is… is it not correct that the Governor's Office made a choice to move money from TANF over… out of this line item to a different line item and that's why we're short in this particular line item?" Feigenholtz: "It's all pressure on the same fund, Representative Bost." Bost: "No. No. No. No. No. No. Representative, it's not pressure on the state funds. It is… we allocated enough money specifically for taking care of children and day care in the State of Illinois, we put it in there. We, the General Assembly, did that. The Governor made a choice to remove money out of that and move it over to another line. Is that not correct? And… and Representative, know this, I'm not directing this at you. I'm just wanting to make sure we know on the record why it is we're having to do this." Feigenholtz: "Why do we have to do this, Representative?" Bost: "No. No. No. Okay. Why do we have to… yes, why is it we're filling back in the hole that has been created in the child care line item? Because the mon… the hole that has been created in the child care line item has been created because money has been moved out of that line to another area of the budget.

  • The White Sox from Comiskey to Reinsdorf. Champaign: Sagamore, 1994
    178 Aethlon XII:2 / Fall 1995 Richard C. Lindberg. Stealing First in a Two-Team Town: The White Sox from Comiskey to Reinsdorf. Champaign: Sagamore, 1994. xxx + 274 pp. $19.95. Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of the Chicago White Sox, avers, "I would rather win and break even than finish second and make $20 million." What a lovely antithesis to H. Wayne Huizenga, owner of the Florida Marlins, who asserts, "I'm in it for the money, not to make the fans happy." And although Reinsdorf is often viewed negatively by Chicagoans as "an introspective self-made Jewish guy with Brooklyn roots," the White Sox under his leadership have become a contending team with a new stadium and a growing fan base. Richard C. Lindberg, White Sox team historian, has chronicled the team from its inception through its midnight stay of emigration in his new book. The first half of the book details the Comiskey family from Charles' playing days, dismissed by his alderman father, through the last days of family ownership - the team left to son John Louis following the Old Roman's death in 1931, then Grace, Dorothy, Book Reviews 179 and Chuck - including commentary upon the Scandal of 1919. Lindberg dismisses those details of player-serfdom which have led many fans to believe that the Black Sox athletes had no other choice but to succumb to gamblers. In a twist of folkloric truths, the author suggests thatComiskey "was one of Chicago's most warmly regarded public figures throughout his lifetime. Commy would frequently reward players down on their luck with cash bonuses, with little or no fanfare coming from the press.
