CAPITOL COMPLEX The Michael J. Howlett Building is south of the Capitol. Formerly the Cen- tennial Building, it was erected to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Illi- nois’ admission to the Union as the 21st state. The cornerstone of the $3 million building was laid in 1918, and the building was completed in 1923. Additions in 1928 and 1966 converted the original rectangular structure into a square build- ing while retaining the original classic architectural design. Several departments of the Secretary of State’s office are located in the building, and historic flags carried by Illinois regiments during the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and World War I are preserved carefully in display cases in Memorial Hall, just inside the building’s two main entrances on the north side. Immediately west of the Capitol is the William G. Stratton Building. Ground was broken for the H-shaped, 448,000-square-foot structure on Feb. 15, 1954, and it was completed some 20 months later at a cost of $11.5 million. It contains the offices of members of the State Senate and House of Representa- tives as well as some state agencies and departments. 460 Adjacent to the Margaret Cross Norton Building is the Illinois State Mu- seum, designed to display the many historic, artistic and natural treasures of Illinois. The official groundbreaking ceremony was held Jan. 5, 1961, and the $2.2 million building was dedicated on Feb. 4, 1963. The museum has four large exhibit halls, two on each of the first two floors. Curatorial offices and related laboratories and shops are located on the third floor along with the staff’s tech- nical library. A replica of a Tlingit Indian totem pole welcomes visitors at the museum’s entrance. The Attorney General’s Building, east of the Michael J. Howlett Building across Second Street, houses the offices of more than 140 attorneys and support staffers. Construction of the three-story, $2.8 million building began in 1968, and the formal dedication was held on Jan. 27, 1972. Sandblasted architectural concrete was used in the construction of the building’s light gray exterior walls, and the interior features a center courtyard. 461 North of the Capitol is the Armory, which replaced the State Arsenal that burned in 1934. This building houses the offices of several divisions of the Illi- nois State Police. The offices surround a large auditorium with a seating capac- ity of 6,000, which often has been the site of inauguration ceremonies for state officials. The Margaret Cross Norton Building, just west of the Michael J. Howlett Building, houses the State Archives, a department of the Secretary of State’s office. Formerly the Archives Building, it was designed to protect the state’s valuable historic records from the hazards of fire, theft and exposure. Construc- tion began in 1936 with aid from the New Deal’s Public Works Administration, and the building was completed in 1938 at a cost of $820,000. It is architecturally unique, having no windows on the fourth through seventh floors. 462 The Illinois State Library Building was opened to the public in 1990. The $36 million, 164,000-square-foot structure, just north of the Attorney General’s Building, is the first building specifically designed and constructed to house the collections of the Illinois State Library. The building’s classic architecture and sandstone walls were chosen to blend with other major buildings of the Capitol Complex. The Capitol Visitors’ Center, just west of the William G. Stratton Building, was opened formally on June 8, 1988. Covering two city blocks, the $3.7 million structure provides visitors with parking, information, picnic facilities, vending machines, rest rooms and a spacious, air-conditioned place to relax. 463 UNITED STATES SENATORS FROM ILLINOIS Name Term of Residence Remarks Service Ninian Edwards, Dem....................... 1818-1824 Kaskaskia................

When Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation ending capital punishment in Illinois on March 9, 2011, he tacitly acknowledged the early rising and late working that preceded the occasion. "Since our experience has shown that there is no way to design a perfect death penalty system, free from the numerous flaws that can lead to wrongful convictions or discriminatory treatment, I have concluded that the proper course of action is to abolish it." 2 The experience to which the governor referred was not something that dropped like a gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath and seeped into his consciousness by osmosis. Rather, a cadre of public defenders, pro bono lawyers, journalists, academics, and assorted activists, devoted tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of hours, over more than three decades, to the abolition movement.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

We are now getting close to the time when we can wrap up your administration. So without further ado in terms of the introduction, what we finished off last time was the MSI discussion.

    How and Why Illinois Abolished the Death Penalty

    MINNESOTA JOURNAL OF LAW & INEQUALITY A Journal of Theory and Practice Summer 2012 How and Why Illinois Abolished the Death Penalty Copyright (c) 2012 Law & Inequality For footnotes, see published version: 30 Law & Ineq. 245 Rob Warden Executive Director, Center on Wrongful Convictions Bluhm Legal Clinic, Northwestern University School of Law Introduction The late J.

All of the work would have been for naught, however, without huge measures of serendipity— the figurative equivalent of striking oil. The gusher, as I call it, was a long time coming. The prospecting began in 1976—a year before the Illinois death penalty was restored after the temporary hiatus ordered by the U.S.
