REMARKS BY MINORITY LEADER MYERS
Minority Leader Myers offered the following remarks:
We started this session 121 days ago, and it was one wild ride.
The budget, of course, took center stage immediately. The revenue nosedive forced
the Governor and the Legislature to make the kind of difficult budget choices that we
have not faced in many years. And I respect the fact that Republicans made tough
choices.
I did not agree with a lot of those choices. I think it was a mistake, for example, to
renege on our commitments to improve school technology and to reduce class sizes in
the elementary grades. I think it was also a mistake to cut taxes for certain
corporations and investors when so many other needs are going unmet.
I am not sure what the future holds for your budget. Having not reached a budget
agreement with Governor Vilsack, you will likely find your budget changed by his veto
pen. But I was encouraged that in these final days you began to move closer toward the
Governor on budget issues.
On January 8, I said the key issue of this session for Democrats was teacher
compensation. With so many teachers approaching retirement, we must be sure that
the next generation of teachers is as good or better than this last one. It was a struggle
to find the money - first there was a lockbox, then there was not. But the Governor
would not let us throw in the towel, and eventually the money was found. The plan did
not meet everyone’s expectations, but it was a start. A start. Next year we must take
the next steps.
One hundred and twenty-one days ago I said we must lower prescription drug costs.
We must provide insurance coverage for mental illness. And we must pay our workers
better by raising the minimum wage. We failed to do any of those things.
And we spent far too much time debating bills that everyone knew would be vetoed
by Governor Vilsack.
But on the positive side, I asked this body to allow judges more judgment in
sentencing, and we took a small first step. I asked us to promote ethanol use and
production, and we provided an incentive. I said we needed more child abuse
caseworkers, and we authorized more. We took steps to prevent the spread of foot and
mouth disease to Iowa. And while no one expected it when we convened in January, I
am very pleased that we achieved our long-held goal of phasing out the sales tax on
utility bills.
Today we really do not say goodbye. It is more like see you later. Redistricting
remains to be done, and we will all reconvene next month to do it. We should have
passed the first plan. It met the law’s requirements and it was impartial.
By rejecting that plan and by asking the Service Bureau to draw a new map that
takes into account matters outside the scope of the statute, I am afraid the Senate may
have injected partisanship into the next plan. We shall see.
On a personal level, I have enjoyed working with members of the majority party - in
particular Representative Rants and Speaker Siegrist - even though at times we
strongly disagreed with each other. I want to thank the staff of the House and of both
caucuses for their long and hard work on our behalf.
I want to thank my assistant leaders for their patience and their advice, and finally
the members of the Democratic caucus for giving me the honor of serving as their
leader. I hope that I have proven worthy of their trust.
IMMEDIATE MESSAGE
Rants of Woodbury asked and received unanimous consent that
Senate Joint Resolutions 7 and 8 be immediately messaged to the
Senate.
REMARKS BY MAJORITY LEADER RANTS
Majority Leader Rants offered the following remarks:
Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House,
I don’t know about you, but I’m tired. In the nine years that I have served in this
House, this has truly been the most trying for me. Republicans came into this session
with high expectations, and many were fulfilled. Others have been waylaid due to
fiscal constraints as they should be.
Mr. Speaker, the fiscal predicament this General Assembly has faced is
unprecedented. The state of Iowa has not seen a revenue shortfall of this magnitude in
the last thirty years. Many saw the signs back in January, but it wasn’t until March
that Governor Vilsack recognized the scope of the problem and was forced to act. That
has certainly made for a longer year and more tiring year.
In response to this revenue shortfall, Governor Vilsack and the Democrats
demanded that we use our reserve funds to increase the size of the budget.
Republicans resisted that idea. But ladies and gentlemen, because Republicans did not
appropriate money from those reserve funds for new spending programs does not mean
that they were not used. In fact they were. When state tax collection dipped into
negative territory and a poor child needed medical care - those reserve funds paid the
bills. During the four months the state’s receipts were three hundred million dollars
below expected levels - those reserve funds made monthly payments to our local school
districts. Those reserve funds helped keep the heat on for Iowa families when we
backfilled a federal shortfall in LIHEAP. Those funds served their purpose, and they
did it well.
Mr. Speaker, we successfully avoided going to that "bank of bad habits" you warned
us about, 121 days ago.
Despite the revenue shortfalls, Republicans followed through on our commitment to
education. Despite all the rhetoric, and back and forth political barbs, we did make
K-12 education in Iowa our number one funding priority. Allowable growth, the basic
education funding stream was protected from the budget shortfall. Not only was it
spared, but we made sure the payments to school districts will be issued on time. Some
areas of education may not have received all that they wanted, but when the dust
settles, our local schools will receive a net increase of $106 million dollars over last
year.
To help get our economy moving again we passed the five part Iowa Growth
Initiative. To many, they were long over due tax code changes that had been standing
in the way of economic development for years. Others, such as the stock options
legislation should make Iowa a more attractive state for entrepreneurs. For others it
was a way to incent consumers and retailers to purchase ethanol. For all, it was a way
to get our economy moving again.
Mr. Speaker, while much of the press has focused on the budget and the teacher
compensation packages in these closing weeks, I’d like to highlight for a moment those
initiatives where this legislature took action to protect children. Whether it be the 24
hour waiting period, or providing "safe havens" we strove to protect those that are truly
defenseless. For those that can’t escape the abuse, we took action to hold non-parents
to the same level of responsibility as parents. In a time of budget reductions we added
50 new people in the DHS to the front lines to assess and prevent child abuse
situations. And we broadened the training programs for teachers, doctors and the like
to better report instances of suspected abuse.
No doubt, Mr. Speaker, there were issues that were not addressed. But I’m not one
to dwell on the "would haves" or "should haves". After all, that is why this legislature
meets every year. We have opportunities to revisit issues. Over the summer we can
work out the last kink in a bill. We can build a new coalition to muster the needed
votes. No doubt when we reconvene in January we will finish work on limiting the
growth of property taxes, we will address the unfairness of taxing our senior citizens;
and Representative Baudler, Representative Brauns and I have a very special coalition
we’d like you to become a part of. Let us all use our summer and fall wisely.
To my Republican colleagues, I want to thank you for your hard work, your
tenacity, and probably most important, your patience with me. It's been an honor to
work with you this year. We have many first term legislators in our caucus - and I
know this year has been nothing like we billed it when we talked with you about
running for office - but believe me you have made a difference this year, and Iowa is
better off for having you in this the people’s house.
I especially want to thank the leadership team - Steve, Libby, Danny, Donna, Russ
and Bill. I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to work with. You helped guide our
agenda, corrected mistakes along the way, and provided the moral and intellectual
support for the tough fights. Thank you.
Representative Myers. I have truly enjoyed our working relationship this year. I
think we have set a new standard for communication and planning. No one seems
surprised these days when I walk up those stairs to your office. Well, at least the
alarms don’t go off anymore when I walk through the door. I’ve enjoyed the give and
take we’ve shared, both on the floor and off. And lastly, I appreciate the vote of
confidence that we’re going to do "whatever’s right".
At the end of every year we often thank the staff for the work that they do to keep
the House running. But Mr. Speaker, we need to take a moment to appreciate the
work these folks do. When we adjourn in the evening, no matter how late, we
legislators are the first to leave the building. Margaret and Kathy, Gayle, Sue, Doreen,
Elaine, Betty, Peg; all the folks in the Journal Room, Legal counsel, Indexing, not to
mention the Service and Fiscal Bureaus - they stay. Most are here a good hour after
we leave - others are here longer. Others are here long before we arrive. I usually
arrive at 6:30 and while I may be one of the first legislators here, there is always staff
already working away. I want to say to those in the back office, to Wilbur and the door
keepers, and of course the page - thank you, we do appreciate the time and your
commitment to making this House operate.
Of course we can’t forget our own staffs. This year we had many new additions to
our caucus staff - but you’d never know by the quality of their work product. Again, I
can’t begin to guess at the hours you put in. In fact, Mr. Speaker, we’ve had one of our
staff here for 24 hours straight working on a project. Thank you Bruce. And thank you
Jeff, Kellie, Lew, Jason, Lon, Stacie, Pat, Stephanie, and of course Brad, who we all
wish a quick recovery and a return to work. You keep us on track, and make us look
good, and are convenient scapegoats when things go wrong. … Truly, thank you for all
of your work.
To Gentry and Mary, the probationary period is over. You passed with flying colors.
Thank you for keeping me on task, on track, and on time. To my Page Sara, thank you
for keeping the caffeine, the true fuel of the legislature, flowing.
Mr. Speaker, what can I say. You charted the course of raising teacher
compensation in this state. And in your typical fashion, you empowered members of
this caucus to pursue that issue, and many others, in their own fashion, and by their
own design. Whether it's education, senior living, or tobacco securitization, the list
goes on you point out the path, you give them authority to act, and then you back them
up. You work to build consensus where there appears to be none. Brent, you are a
good leader for this state, and it has been an honor to serve with you.
Mr. Speaker, as I said before, I’m tired. Too many late nights and early mornings I
guess. I can’t imagine how old folks like you and Representative Myers are holding up.
But it's time to go home. Only at home can I make my last thank you’s in person - to
my wife Trudy, and daughters Grace and Kait, who give me leave to serve. To each of
you, I thank you, and I thank your families for your service. It's was a job well done.
You’ve earned a rest, and your families deserve your attention. Enjoy the months of
May and June, when we get together again.
REMARKS BY SPEAKER SIEGRIST
Speaker Siegrist offered the following remarks:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the House:
Like you, I had doubts that I would ever be giving an end-of-session speech. As I
finish the 17th year of my legislative career, I can truthfully say that this session has
been the most difficult by far. Early on in this session, I was reminded of the song of
the Eagles called "Hotel California." The lyrics that stuck in my mind were "You can
check in any time you want, but you can never leave." While many of us knew that our
fiscal situation was deteriorating, none of us could have guessed that over halfway
through the session, our revenue shortfall would be $300 million. As a result, a
difficult session got even tougher.
We had tough decisions to make, and we made them. There are significant and real
cuts in the budget we have approved. Those were not easy things to undertake, but if
we were to accomplish some new goals this session, as well as give us a fighting chance
in next year’s budget, reductions had to occur. The majority did not go about that task
lightly. We listened and tried to respond in the best way available. To Appropriations
Chairman Millage, and each of the budget subcommittee chairs, my deepest thanks.
You did good work under the toughest and most thankless conditions I have seen.
Your hard work will make next year’s budget a little bit more manageable.
The budget is on its way downstairs to the Governor. I would urge Governor
Vilsack to sign the budget. The majority party leadership met with the Governor
numerous times over the past 3 ½ weeks trying to forge a budget compromise. We
were not totally successful in doing that, but we came very close. We have met the
Governor halfway on most of the budget issues. We listened long and hard to his
concerns and we attempted to react to those concerns. If we are faced with a special
session on the budget, there is a glaring fact that must be faced. There is no more
money for this budget. We have provided all the revenue that we can. I am hopeful
that once we leave here, and Governor Vilsack has the opportunity to view our budget
in its entirety and with the harsh fiscal realities facing our budget next year, he will
sign it.
So, given the difficulties of this year, what did we accomplish? Quite a bit. Without
a doubt, the teacher compensation package is the signature item of this legislative
session. Over the next few years as this legislation is implemented and funded, Iowa’s
strong educational system will continue to move toward excellence. Iowa’s citizens will
see more money in their pockets as a result of the phase out of the sales tax on utilities.
In addition, legislation like ethanol incentives, community development initiatives,
brownfields, the boyfriend bill, safe houses, additional child abuse workers, the cyber
stalking legislation, penalties for ecstasy, eco-terrorism, preparation for a hoof and
mouth outbreak, and the list goes on. This body did good for all Iowans this year.
When we get into the frenzy of the final week, we lose sight of that.
To the twenty new legislators, I want to tell you that this was not a typical session.
I know that you have felt many frustrations throughout this session. It was a tough
year. Please reserve judgment on your political future until we have a more normal
session next year. I want to thank all the members of the House for your efforts this
year. I thought that both parties handled their work very well this year. While there
were some flashpoints, overall, I think we collectively demonstrated amazing
cooperation.
Representative Myers, I very much appreciate your leadership this year, along with
your leadership team. I enjoyed working with you, as Representative Rants said, I
appreciate your openness. You and your leadership team did a good job for your
caucus. You are a formidable opponent, but a good person to work with. And I think
you've led them well and I appreciate your cooperation. I only wish for you a good tail
wind and that your leathers stay supple.
To the Republican leadership team, I want to thank them also, to Libby, Donna,
Danny, Bill, Steve and Russ. We had tough times this year, but we got some things
done. I appreciated every bit of your counsel to me as the Speaker as we attempted to
move through this session.
To the Republican and Democratic caucus, also, thank you again for your hard
work, thank you for bestowing to me the opportunity to serve as the Speaker. I try my
very best to do as good a job as I can in that position, and again I think working
together we made good progress this year.
To Margaret, Kathy and Gayle, thank you, they tried to keep me pretty much
informed of what's going on in the chamber. I want to thank you for your work. And I
have to admit that one of my favorite things in the session is to wait until Margaret
leaves and then bang the gavel and watch her run back in here. It never fails to amuse
me.
To the members of my staff, Becky, Susan and Dan, I couldn't have asked for better.
To keep me anywhere near organized is a big task and I very much appreciate all that
they did for me.
And to Kyle, the big guy that's been sitting up here all year, I want to thank him.
He did a great job as the Page for me this year and we appreciate all his hard work.
And everybody in the bill room and the journal room and indexing and the doormen
and the pages and everybody else, we couldn't run this place without you. You make
this place doable, you make this place livable, and we appreciate each and every one of
your efforts.
Mr. Majority Leader, I don't think anybody's had a better organized session. I
think your efforts to keep the members informed about what was going on, when we
were debating bills, and your openness with that, was something to behold, something
that I had never accomplished to the degree you did as the majority leader, and you
need to be commended for that. Beyond that, I appreciate your friendship and your
counsel. We had a tough year together. It's not easy to be taken to task in a very
tough way in the paper as we worked our way through this legislative session, there
were certainly some assaults upon us, and I know how that affects you and it affects
me, but we got the job done, and I want to tell you I appreciate your leadership and I
thank you for your leadership for our caucus and also for the entire General Assembly.
It's time to go home, we have one more bill to do, it is time to go home. I know my
two young children have been with my mother-in-law because my wife is on a business
trip. I want to get home and I want to kind of relax for a while and as I look at those
things as I usually do, you'll have to forgive me for quoting my favorite poet, Jimmy
Buffet, and it's only right because I have to go to a wedding next week in the Bahamas,
so there won't be any special session next week. When I thought about the Bahamas, I
had to go to Jimmy Buffet, and forgive me, of the difficulty this year there were two
things that struck me, and one of these songs, called "Barometer Soup", says "For we
have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters; come along, let's have some
fun, the hard work has been done." And indeed we did hard work this year. And
lastly, as I hopefully get out of the state next week just for a few days, see, as the song
"Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes," which I think symbolizes the feeling of
family in here, which simply says, "If we couldn't laugh, we'd all go insane." And I
think this is a family that laughs together, occasionally cries together when we have
tragedies, but it is a family that does work together, makes a difference in the lives of
Iowans; and so while we always hesitate to leave this family, we are excited to get back
to our real families.
And so I wish everyone the best in the future. We will gather again next month,
hopefully for just a very short session. I want to thank you once again for all your hard
work. Go home to your families, go home to your friends, be proud of what you did,
we'll fight another day on different issues, but as a body, the Iowa House of
Representatives, we did good work this year and I thank you for that. Thank you very
much.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE GOVERNOR
June 14, 2001
The Honorable Brent Siegrist
Speaker of the House
State Capitol Building
L O C A L
Dear Mr. Speaker:
The one shining light in this legislative session was the full funding of our new
teacher compensation/student achievement plan. This package is a truly revolutionary
approach to training and compensating teachers, and ensuring that Iowa
schoolchildren get the very best possible education. Nowhere else has this been done
on a statewide basis. It makes us national leaders and it has important and very
positive consequences for public education and workforce development in our state.
We understand that some teachers are nervous about this program. It does
represent a fundamental change. We are convinced that we can make this new plan
work in a way that serves teachers, students, and parents.
We are hopeful the special legislative session scheduled for June 19 will consider
legislative action to that which was left incomplete at the end of the regular session. In
addition to redistricting, I urge lawmakers to maintain the operations of Iowa's rural
workforce development centers, to provide the option for community colleges to raise
additional revenue to meet their obligations, and to provide for additional in-state
electric power generation.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Vilsack
Governor
The communication was received and the committee discharged.
FINAL ADJOURNMENT
By virtue of House Concurrent Resolution 39, duly adopted, the
day of May 8, 2001 having arrived, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives declared the 2001 Regular Session of the Seventy-
ninth General Assembly adjourned sine die.
