DISTRICT SENATORIAL CANDIDATES DARLENE L. DEGENHARDT, Democrat, 4806 W. Riverdale, McHenry. Education: Advanced Technical Education in Management-Real Estate-Insurance-Accounting, and Revenue and Employment Law. Occupation: Has held occupational licenses in Illinois for Employment Counseling, Insurance Life Accident and Health & Securities, plus Real Estate. Eight years of Revenue office, Illinois Department of Revenue~5 years as an insurance business and personnel. Currently legislative aid and office manager for 33rd district Rep. Thomas T. Hanahan. Experience: Extensive experience in problem solving and people representation in political and issue organizations. Since 1956 in both elective and appointive positions, such as the Chain 0' Lakes, Fox River commission, and party office. Experienced lecturer on media and before organizational and educational bodies and institutions on issues and politics. Answers to questions- 1--(Environmental Funding) Transfer of responsibility from Federal to State will be a dismal failure if the state governments see this only as a dumping of programs. Preserving our heritage is essential for the next generation, and funding to do this would be supported by me. 2--(Women's Issues) I do not see Women's Issues as segregated. All issues are women's issues. The lack of jobs needed to support self sustaining units of people is our biggest need right now for both men and women. 3--(Economic Responsibility) The structure of the new legislature will make the difference and this is currently unknown. I would certainly hope the citizens of Illinois and their legislators will not let people freeze to death, starve to death or die for lack of medical care, for circumstances they cannot control. I would pressure all reasonable avenues to keep this from happening through both governmental and private action. DONALD E. DEUSTER, Republican, 132 North Sylvan Lake road, Mundelein. Education: Lincoln high school, Milwaukee, 1948; Ripon college, 1952, B.A. in Economics and Political Science; L.L.B., U. of Cal. Law school, in Los Angeles, 1957. Occupation: Legislator and lawyer Experience: Assistant counsel for Kemper Insurance Group, 1957-1962; administrative assistant to U.S. Congressman Robert McClory, 1962-1969; Congressional Relations Officer for President Nixon in U.S. Department of Transportation under Secretary of Trans. John Volpe, 1969- 1971; elected and reelected five times to the Illinois House of Representatives, from 1973 to present. Answers to questions- 1--(Environmental funding) The importance of improving our national and state business climate to generate employment opportunities is so critical that budgetary restraints must be applied to all agencies of government, and I do not realistically believe it is possible to maintain the present level of funding for environmental protection agencies as well as most other units of government. 2--(Women's Issues) The awareness and sensitivity about issues of concern for women, and particularly the importance of equal opportunity for women have improved much, and our courts have been quite progressive in expanding interpretations of the 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection for every person. While the debate over the Equal Rights Amendment has tended to polarize some women into hostile camps, it has helped generate constructive discussion and action. One example is the great growth in opportunities for young women in school athletic programs and the opening of genuine career opportunities for women. 3--(Economic Responsibility) The President's proposal for shifting responsibility and authority from Washington to Springfield and to our local governments will help us control the relevance and quality of these programs in Illinois. As a Congressional Relations officer at the U.S. Department of Transportation, I helped promote enactment of Revenue Sharing which has enabled our states and local governments to be much more responsive to the needs of people, and to accomplish good social works with a very minimum of government red tape and regulation, and with much more efficiency. JACK SCHAFFER, Republican, 56 N. Williams, Crystal Lake. Education: Crystal Lake high school, 1960; Graduated, Northern Illinois University, 1965. Occupation: State senator Experience: State senator, 33rd. district since 1973; Minority spokesman of Appropriations II committee; chairman of the State Mental Health & Developmental Disabilities commission, and the Chain erf Lakes Fox River commission; McHenry County auditor, 1968 to 1972; Algonquin 17 Committeeman for 20 years. Answers to questions- 1--(Environmental funding) I believe that the State of Illinois should be able to retain present levels of funding despite cutbacks. I hope the governor will sign my non-game check off bill when it comes before the next session of the General Assembly to provide additional funds for conservation. 2--(Women's Issues) The Illinois Constitution already includes the Equal Rights Amendment and the Illinois General Assembly has enacted a round of legislation to guarantee equal opportunity here in Illinois. In addition we have a Legislative Commission on the Status of Women, which has been extremely vigilant and the governor's office has an Advocate for Women. However, Illinois has not passed the Equal Rights Amendment, which I happen to support. 3--(Economic Responsibility) As I understand President Reagan's proposal, he is suggesting swapping programs so that they become either all Federal or all State. The total impact of this proposal on the State of Illinois is not yet clear. It does appear that we will be able to maintain the quality of social services in Illinois without a large tax increase. I suspect it will be September or October of this year before we have a clear picture of the outcome. 63rd DISTRICT- STATE REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATES JAMES F. BISHOP, Republican, 1500 South Shore drive, Crystal Lake. Education: B.S. degree, St. Joseph college, Rensselaer, Ind., 1963, J.D. degree, Chicago Kent College of Law, 1966. Occupation: 1966-1973, general practice of law; 1973 to date. Partner, Bishop, Kelly and McGlory, general practice of law - specializing in Zoning and Land Development, Environmental Law, State Taxation, Real Estate and Corporate Matters. Experience: Member, board of education, School District 155, 1973-1979, president, 1977-1979; member, board of education, School District 47, 1980 to date; deputy registrar, McHenry County clerk, 1976 to date; arbitrator, Illinois State Board of Education 1979 to date; member, board of directors and vice-president, McHenry hospital, McHenry, 1981-; member, board of advisors, McHenry County Easter Seal society, 1973 to date; member and chairman of Executive committee, Ducks Unlimited, Eastern McHenry County, 1974 to date; American Simmental association, 1968 to date; Illinois Simmental association, 1973 to date. Answers to questions-- 1--(Environmental funding) Yes. Professionally, I have had a great deal of experience in dealing with the IEPA, Illinois DOC and other State agencies responsible for either rule making or enforcement of the various environmental statutes. Over the past ten or more years, taxpayers have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in these statutes and governmental agencies with a corresponding benefit to the general public. We must both maintain present funding levels and provide additional funds as years go by. 2--(Women's Issues) With ratification of ERA in serious jeopardy, legislators must realize that much work must be done in the immediate future to propose legislation which will address inequities that women still face. Statutes that discriminate or adversely affect women, such as health insurance and pension inequities, equal pay, sexual harassment, and child support arrearages are only a few of the areas in which women should have achieved equality yesterday but will have to be dealt with tomorrow. I pledge vibrant and vocal support of all issues which will enable women to achieve equah citizenship. 3--(Economic Responsibility) Because President Reagan was overwhelmingly directed by the public in 1980 to eliminate federal bureaucracies and to shift a myriad of programs back to the states, I decided to run for the office of state representative. We must recognize that many of the federal programs have been the cause of the fantastic deficits which our federal government has built over the years. However, the 1970 Constitution prohibits the State of Illinois from operating in the red. The shifting of programs will require very close attention by our lawmakers, who will have to use insight and desire to meet the needs of their constituencies. I would give maximum attention to social services and education. DICK KLEMM, Republican, 559 Cress Creek, Crystal Lake. Education: Graduate, Purdue university, Engineering & Industrial Economics. College Speech instructor; U.S.A.F.I. Engineering instructor, Purdue university. Occupation: President and chairman of the board, FWE Co., Inc. Illinois state representative, 33rd district. Experience: Present: Member of House Executive committee, House Labor & Commerce committee; House Public Utilities committee; member Chain-of-Lakes-Fox River commission. Experience: Past: Chairman, County board; president, board of education, School District 46; director, Special Education district; president, Helping Paws; township official; committeeman; chairman, McHenry County Economic Development committee; director, Urban Counties council. Answers to questions-- 1--(Environmental funding) If state revenues continue to fall, every state agency must share in the responsibility in providing a balanced state budget. However, high on my priority list for funding, continues to be environmental protection and conservation. For example, my bill (HB-847) would have addressed this very issue by allowing local governments to assist the state in environmental protection, and with no tax increase. 2--(Women's Issues) I am optimistic that more and more Illinois legislation will deal with "women's issues". Even those who oppose the ERA are beginning to realize that women are a powerful economic and political force. Legislators are beginning to address women's issues with serious consideration. In my opinion, it's about time. 3--(Economic Responsibility) a) Initially, Illinois should be able to handle the programs without cuts. When the Federal government reduces its funding, the real impact will occur- through reduced benefits, elimination of programs, or increased taxes. Which of these will happen is the real question. I believe it's too early to tell, b) When Federal funding starts to be phased out in 1987, the state will have to establish its priorities and see what revenue it has available to fund these programs. I see tremendous pressures brought forth at that time to increase state taxes. Possibly local taxes will be spared. The key seems to be to determine what programs are really necessary, and what programs can be eliminated. I would like to see our present state agencies try to handle the job without creating more bureacracy. FRANK S. McCLATCHEY, Democrat, 1623 Riverside drive, McHenry. Education: Human Relations, Psychology, Political Science and Spanish. Occupation: Supervisor, Illinois Secretary of State. Experience: Has worked with Illinois citizens for six years and knows what they want and how they like to be served. ^ Answers to questions- 1--(Environmental funding) Yes, we have to be responsible for our environmental needs at all times. 2--(Women's Issues) The need for Women's Issues has finally come out of the Stone Age, and I support their efforts. 3--(Economic Responsibility) a) The President has said it is a financially equal swap If this is so, I see no problem with the quality of social services in Illinois under the new Federalism proposals, b) In addition to turning the Federal programs over to the states, Reagan's New Federalism proposal would provide a temporary Federal Trust fund to help them with the costs of these programs. If this does happen I see no need to raise taxes in Illinois to help these programs along. 64th DISTRICT- STATE REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATES JAMES C. KELLEY, Republican, 4519 Edgewood Hills drive, Rockford. Education: Graduate of Millikin university. Occupation: Owner of Rockford Mercantile agency. Experience: State representative, 34th district; 82 General Assembly magistrate of the Circuit court, 6th Judicial Circuit. Answers to questions - 1--(Environmental funding) Yes, providing the funds are available and that human first line services can be maintained. We must take care of our elderly, blind, young et al first in this great state. v 2--(Women's Issues' We must always be on the alert for equal opportunities in the work place and other areas where discrimination can be found. Apply existing laws or legislate if none exist. 3--(Economic Responsibility) a) Local people treating local problems should raise the value of the tax dollars and supply better and more human services. Local people know local problems, b) As I understand the President's proposals, it would be a transfer and should not mean more tax dollars. We will not know for sure until we see the actual legislation. RONALD A. WAIT, 110 East Second street, Belvidere, Republican. Education: Licensed to practice law in Illinois and Iowa. Law degree, Drake university ; Master's degree in Education, N.I.U.; Master's degree in Business Administration, N.I.U.; Accounting degree, Drake university. Occupation: Farmer and farm manager, five years; Ombudsman in Iowa Legislative; clerk for Miller & Hickey Law firm and for Chief Judge John Sype; teacher and coach for seven years; John Deere accounting training program. Experience: President, Highland hospital board; trustee and board member, United Methodist church; chairman, Boone Co. Housing Authority board; vice-president, Boone Co. Bar association; chairman, Agricultural council of University of Illinois Cooperative Extension board; Legislation chairman, Boone County Farm Bureau- chairman, Budget & Admissions commission, United Givers board. Answers to questions- 1--(Environmental funding) Yes, if the programs can be shown to improve the quality of the environment and not just to provide more bureaucratic and administrative employment. In all fairness, though, if most other programs were cut, this vital agency would face the same type of financial scrutiny. 2--(Women's Issues) The women have, I believe, some very legitimate grievances. I believe women should get equal pay for equal work. They should have equal opportunity for advancement. 3--(Economic Responsibility) a) While the impact of these proposals are unknown at this time for sure, it looks as though a heavy burden will fall on the states and unfortunately, Illinois looks as though it will be given a greater burden financially than other states. Having the programs administered by the states should reduce some of the bureaucratic red tape which hopefully will provide more money for actual services, b) The impact on state and local taxes in Illinois is as yet unclear how much money would be cut back. I have heard a large discrepancy in the figures. If the amount was small, one could probably fund at the present level. However, if there was a large discrepancy, one would either have to cut back on services or raise taxes. JUDY WEIHER, Democrat, 1816 13th avenue, Belvidere. No response.
