This Week's suburban edition of "Public Affairs," airing in the Chicago metro suburbs, features State Senator Chris Lauzen [R-Aurora], one of the "Fab 5 Republican" state senators who burst on the Springfield political scene in 1992, each with business experience [mostly small business] and with the intent to infuse the government sector with private sector know how. [See the end of this post for the suburban airing schedule of "Public Affairs."]

Senator Lauzen discusses and debates the impact of the Governor’s proposed Gross Receipts tax or the HB 750 tax swap on employees, shareholders and customer prices; property tax relief, education reform [school vouchers-school choice, charter schools and other possible modifications in the operation of our K-12 schools], a run in the 14th Cong. District if Cong. Hastert does not, as is expected, seek another term, SB 600 and much, more with show host and legal recruiter Jeff Berkowitz.See, below, for the Public Affairs suburban airing schedule.

State Senator Chris Lauzen [R-Aurora]: According to the Associated Press, 58% of the new enrollments under All Kids—you know one of the big things he [Gov. Blagojevich] points to when he says this is my healthcare initiative-- 58% are not legal citizens, and the reverse of that is illegal immigrants.

Jeff Berkowitz: And, you are saying that you would be opposed to that? You don’t think those folks should receive that.

Sen. Chris Lauzen: I am opposed to that. I don’t think that we should be giving incentives to people who break the law. We are going to all follow all the laws and if we don’t like a law, change it. Or, we are going to have chaos. And, we are going to build social resentment. You know, between people-- if I am getting away with something that you are not getting away with, eventually you are going to resent me and you are going to dig in your heels. And that’s, I think, a very unhealthy thing for our society.
**********************************************************
Sen. Chris Lauzen: On the Gross Receipts tax, I feel confident and I haven’t done a survey and no one is locked into this, but my sense of where we are going together is that on a Gross Receipts Tax, twenty-two people [all twenty two Republican senators] are going to say no.

Jeff Berkowitz: House Bill 750 [the so-called tax swap, which would be an increase in the income tax, with some reduction, its supporters argue, in property taxes, but altogether would result in a net tax increase in Illinois of about five to six billion dollars], how about that?

Sen. Chris Lauzen: House Bill 750, there may be some [Republicans] who support that.

Jeff Berkowitz: Who are those folks?

Sen. Chris Lauzen: No.

Jeff Berkowitz: You don’t want to tell us now?

Sen. Chris Lauzen: No.
