REMARKS BY MAJORITY LEADER
Siegrist of Pottawattamie offered the following remarks:
Friends of the House:
Welcome back! As always, it is good to see everybody back in
this Chamber for the start of another session. First, let me
welcome Representative Todd Taylor. As usual, it was an interim
of good news and bad news, ups and downs.
The unfortunate passing of Jerry Cornelius and several family
members of other members of this body certainly caused sadness
during the past several months. The sadness was mitigated by the
joy that was caused by the births of children to the families of
Representatives Brunkhorst and Moreland, Mark Brandsgard and Pam
Dugdale, and even State Democratic Chairman Mike Peterson. And,
of course, our congratulations to Representatives David Millage,
Donna Hammitt Barry and Chuck Larson on their marriages. We will
be waiting for goodies from these people during the next several
weeks.
As we start our session today, the question that is being asked
is what will we accomplish between now and our projected ending
date on April 16th. Some people say nothing - it's an election
year. Others say we'll accomplish a little bit. I say we will
accomplish a lot in this body, this session.
I must say it is refreshing not to hear all the jokes and snide
comments about "hold on to your wallet, the legislature is back
in session". And there is a good reason that we are not held up
for ridicule much anymore. Look at the record this body has
assembled the past three years. We've eliminated a $400 million
plus deficit and replaced it with a $400 million plus surplus.
We pay our bills on time. We reformed welfare in a meaningful
and compassionate way. We have created jobs. We actually cut
taxes. And the list goes on. We have positioned Iowa to be one
of the shining stars in the U.S. as we move into the next
century.
And yet there seems to be a prevailing mood of doom and gloom
around this place. There appears to be very little optimism as
we start this session. And this is in spite of the fact that our
economy continues to grow far beyond expectations; our
unemployment rate is an unbelievable 3.2 percent; there are
almost 29,000 more Iowans working this year than last year; our
per capita personal income increased from thirty-fifth in the
nation in 1993, to thirtieth in 1994; the number of children in
our schools increased for the sixth straight year; and in the
report "State Rankings 1995", Iowa was ranked the fourth most
livable place to live in the United States.
Now, I certainly understand that we have problems in this state.
We do need to have better paying jobs for our citizens, we do
have to provide more housing, especially for moderate income
people, and we need to tend to our infrastructure needs. But
while we have problems, we also have a unique opportunity to
vault our state into the national limelight.
I think we need to recognize our problems, work to create
solutions to begin solving them, and at the same time,
accentuate the positive side of Iowa and let the rest of the
world know that this is a place moving in the right direction.
Too many people, including several across the rotunda only want
to point to the problems and talk about what's wrong, not what's
right. I think they went and looked through their old record
collection of 45's and found the early 1960's hit by a guy named
Barry Macquire called the "Eve of Destruction"; and they've been
playing it over and over. Doom and gloom. When I look at our
state today, I am reminded of a more recent, albeit rather
obscure rock band called "Timbuk 3". and the line from one of
their songs, "the future's so bright, I gotta wear shades". Not
doom and gloom, ladies and gentlemen: opportunity!
All of us read recently that AT&T was reducing their workforce
by 40,000 people in a downsizing effort. That announcement, and
others like it, cause concern for our citizens. Make no mistake
about it. In the remaining years of this decade, Iowa will lose
jobs. Every country of the world will lose jobs as business
downsizes and tries to become more efficient. Iowa will not be
immune. What we must do in this legislature is work to create a
climate that will allow us to create more jobs than we lose. We
must create opportunity for our state to grow. We have
made a good start. With no debt, a balanced budget, and a 10
percent surplus in savings, we can give business a strong
incentive to either expand in Iowa, or relocate in Iowa. We can
tell a business, "Look, we won't raise your taxes for the rest
of this decade and beyond. Come to Iowa and grow." We have a
good transportation system, which through our actions last
session, we made better by agreeing to plow an additional
quarter of a billion dollars into the road fund over the next
three years on top of the regular growth. We have excellent
schools. By and large, you can feel safe in Iowa in terms of
public safety. And of course we have great workers with a
tremendous work ethic in our state.
That is a good start in creating a climate that will allow Iowa
to seize the opportunity to create jobs for our citizens so that
we can keep people from leaving our state and make improvements
in things like wages and per capita income. But there is much
more to do.
This session we need to key in on five areas:
1. Reducing our tax burden. The state is bringing in too much
money from our citizens and we need to continue our work of last
session by cutting both property and income taxes. In income
taxes, we should index our income tax brackets to account for
inflation. We should eliminate the inheritance tax for children
and grandchildren, and we should make changes in our Sub-Chapter
S tax laws. We also need to relieve property taxes in a major
way by shifting some of the property tax spent on schools to
state aid. I hear from the Senate that we must "go slow". To me,
that means be timid. Ladies and gentlemen, this chamber will be
neither timid nor irresponsible. We can and we must cut taxes.
We have a unique opportunity to reduce our tax burden and make
Iowa a more attractive place to live. We mustn't miss our chance.
2. The second thing we must and will accomplish this session is
the establishment of a school technology fund. No one does a
better job of teaching students the basics than Iowa teachers.
Now, we must give them help to do a better job of bringing
technological skills to students and teachers. At a minimum, we
must enact something similar to what the House passed last
session - $15 million the first year; $30 million the second;
$45 million the third; and $60 million the fourth. This is money
that goes directly to the classroom and directly to help our
students. A school technology fund has to be accomplished this
year.
3. We will establish a permanent funding stream for our Rebuild
Iowa infrastructure fund. We do have an infrastructure problem
in this state, and we will begin to address it by doing this. As
many of you know, Financial World Magazine has rated Iowa the
sixth best fiscally managed state in the U.S. this year. We were
sixteenth two years ago, and we can all take pride in this
accomplishment. The only place we were downgraded in this study
was because we didn't do enough for our infrastructure. This
year, we must pass legislation which will allow us to have a
permanent revenue stream to help meet our needs for things like
deferred maintenance, the state capitol, state fair, and regents
buildings. We should do this by putting the interest (around $24
million a year) from our 1O percent surplus in the
infrastructure account, as well as capping gambling revenues
which go into the general fund at somewhere between $60 - $70
million a year and putting the remainder of at least $24 million
into our infrastructure account. By doing this, we won't get any
more dependent on gambling revenues, and it will allow us to
plan for our future infrastructure needs.
4. Iowa is a relatively safe place to live - that is, until
someone you know is a victim of a crime. We must keep criminals
off the street; and because of our overcrowded prison system, we
should authorize a new 750-bed medium security prison to make
sure we can keep the criminals out of our neighborhoods. We also
need to revisit and pass the issue of eliminating parole which
we passed last year.
5. As we look to the future, we have to make sure we can provide
additional recreational opportunities for our citizens to make
Iowa a more attractive place to live. We need to provide some
additional funding for the R.E.A.P. program and we should use
some infrastructure money to construct and maintain more hiking
and biking trails in our state.
Many people are worried about what the federal government may do
to us. While I think we should have concerns, I feel confident
that we can handle whatever is given to us. The gloom and
doomers mention the possibility of some programs being given to
the states as block grants and say that it would be a disaster.
I disagree. It presents us an opportunity. For example, if the
federal government gave us back the welfare system as block
grants, we would be ahead of most states because of the reforms
we already put into place. If they were to turn over employment
services and job training programs as block grants, that is an
opportunity, not a disaster. It's an opportunity because:
1. The programs most likely will be sent back to us with less
rules and regulations.
2. The programs will come back to us without all the federal
bureaucracy.
3. If a program is block granted to us, it gives us the unique
opportunity to rebuild the system from the ground up and
eliminate unnecessary programs and become more efficient.
While we have concerns about what may come from President
Clinton and the Congress as they struggle to get their fiscal
house in order, I am confident we can handle what they give us
as well as address the above five points.
The past three to four years, we have been consumed with our
budget problems. Now that our fiscal house is in order, we must
build for the future. I haven't even mentioned balancing the
budget as a priority this session. That's because that should
now be a no-brainer. Now that we have control of our finances, a
balanced budget should just be a matter of fact. We shouldn't
heap praise on ourselves for balancing the budget because that
is our job.
What we need to do this session is concentrate our efforts on
creating a climate to let this state grow. We can be full of
doom and gloom and be timid and cautious. Or we can move forward
in a responsible manner knowing that there will be problems
along the way, but also knowing we can create opportunities out
of those problems. I think we should opt for the latter and
position our state for the next century.
Working together, both Republicans and Democrats, I'm confident
that we can make the future brighter for our state. Bright
enough that when we leave here next April, we'll all need to
wear shades.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
REMARKS BY MINORITY LEADER
Schrader of Marion offered the following remarks:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Colleagues and staff, welcome back. It's
good to see you all again.
As we convene today we are touched with sadness at the passing
of one of our colleagues, Jerry Cornelius. My memories of Jerry
are all pleasant ones. We will miss him.
On a happier note, I extend a special welcome to our newest
representative, Todd Taylor of Cedar Rapids, who is replacing
Rich Running. We know you'll enjoy your service in the
Legislature, Todd, and we wish you success.
Throughout the summer and fall, members of the Democratic caucus
have been meeting with Iowans to hear their concerns and help
sharpen our focus for this session. Here's what we learned.
Iowans want lower property taxes. Last spring Democrats worked
hard to convince the majority party to cut property taxes. We're
happy with the results. This year we are pleased to see that you
have abandoned the inequitable income tax cuts contained in your
Family Opportunity Plan in favor of additional property tax
relief and indexing. We'll work with you for fiscally
responsible reduction.
Iowans also want more local control of large hog lots. We heard
from hundreds of citizens at public hearings throughout this
state. They were nearly unanimous in their demand for more local
accountability and for more protections for smaller hog
operations. We've developed several initiatives that we plan to
share with you and which we hope to debate and adopt.
Iowans are also concerned about insurance companies that want to
limit hospital stays for mothers and newborn infants to a single
day. We've heard from medical experts, as well as mothers and
fathers, who tell us that twenty-four hours is not enough to
assure the well-being of mother and child. We think doctors and
families, not insurance executives, should make these decisions.
Finally, last year Republicans and Democrats in the House passed
legislation unanimously to keep violent criminals off our
streets. For a variety of reasons, Governor Branstad vetoed that
legislation. We are willing to work with Republicans again to
craft a tough crime bill that answers the Governor's concerns
and makes Iowans more secure in their communities.
We look forward to a productive 1996 session. Mr. Speaker, the
Democrats have arrived here ready to work and committed to stay
until our work is done.
REMARKS BY SPEAKER
Speaker Corbett offered the following remarks:
I want to welcome all of you back to this session of the
Seventy-sixth General Assembly.
150 years ago the Territory of Iowa took a bold step forward.
This year we celebrate that bold step for statehood during our
Sesquicentennial.
However we might not be having be having this celebration had it
not been for some forward looking leaders in the Legislative
Assembly who decided to support statehood.
They were not without opposition. The opponents of statehood
used the fear of the unknown, the fear of what the federal
government in Washington might do, and the threat of the loss of
federal funds. They had predictions of doom of gloom.
Today, 150 years later, we still have those that want to use the
fear of the unknown, the fear of what the federal government in
Washington might do, and the threat of the loss of federal
funds, to defend their positions. They have the same
predictions of doom and gloom.
Thankfully, our predecessors were forward looking people who had
faith in the future and were not afraid to lead. They chose to
focus on the positive, the opportunities and the chance for
prosperity. They decided in spite of the unknown, they had much
to gain by moving forward and much to lose by standing still.
Pressing the pause button was not an option for our predecessors
and it is not an option now.
We can learn a lesson from lowa's first visionaries. Just as
they moved forward 150 years ago, we need to move forward today.
This year we are celebrating our history, our accomplishments
and the important role individuals played in shaping our state's
character.
Carrie Chapman Catt, the leader of the women's suffrage
movement, Coker Clarkson the organizer of the Grange and Joshia
Grinnell, a leader in the underground railroad, are Iowans who
embraced the future.
These people were not afraid to lead. In the face of opposition
and adversity, they moved this state forward. And we are
fortunate they did.
For past few years it would have been difficult for Iowa to
celebrate. The farm crisis, the flood, the deficit, and across
the board budget cuts gamed our attention and rightfully so.
But we overcame each of these obstacles.
1996, however, is a year of celebration in Iowa. But it will be
difficult for the people of Iowa to celebrate at all if all they
hear from their elected leaders is fear, doom and gloom.
Today we do not have the obstacles of the past. We have a
substantial budget surplus, low unemployment, good prices for a
bushel of corn and an increasing population. Good things are
happening in our state and we should be optimistic about our
future. 1996 is not the year to stand still.
Last year, I quoted President John F. Kennedy. That quote seems
even more appropriate this year. "Those who look only to the
past or the present are certain to miss the future."
In April, the Seventy-sixth General Assembly will have completed
it's work. Will we be known for seizing the opportunities
presented to us or will we be known for squandering those same
opportunities.
All of us decided to run for office to be leader, to help shape
the future of Iowa. Twenty years ago the names on the voting
boards were different and twenty years from now they will change
again. We, as individuals, are only footnotes. But what we, as
a body, put in or take out of the Iowa Code is our legacy.
Every January, a group of leaders come to the Statehouse with a
chance to shape their legacy. It is much like a piece of clay
ready to be molded and shaped, our future.
As I look out over the People's House and into your faces and
eyes, I see people that are ready to start sculpting as am I.
Let us celebrate the past, seize the present and focus on the
future.
