Senator Villivalam, for what purpose do you rise?

SENATOR VILLIVALAM:

A -- a point of personal privilege, Mr. President.


State your point.

SENATOR VILLIVALAM:

As the first Asian American in the Illinois State Senate, the

first Indian American in the Illinois General Assembly, I wanted

to bring your attention to the significance of today, March 5th,

2019. Today we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander

Women's Equal Pay Day. It took Asian American and Pacific Islander

women all of 2018 plus the two months and five days that have

passed thus far in 2019 to earn what Caucasian males earned in

2018 alone. AAPI women live in -- at the intersection of racial

discrimination and economic justice {sic}. Last year, AAPI women

made between eighty-five to fifty cents for every dollar a white

-- what Caucasian males took home. Hmong and Cambodian women earn

on average only fifty {sic} (fifty-seven) cents and sixty cents to

the white -- to the Caucasian male dollar, respectively.

Widespread acceptance of the "model minority" contributes to the

continued gender wage gap and lack of resources funneled to the

AAPI community, especially women. Members of the AAPI community

are assumed to experience greater social -- socioeconomic

background and stability than their white -- their white

counterparts. This is far from the truth. The widely believed

model minority myth makes advocating for AAPI wage discrepancies

STATE OF ILLINOIS


REGULAR SESSION

nearly impossible, and leads to legislators like us overlooking

the crucial, lifesaving programs that protect and support AAPI

communities. And we know the statistics are even -- more grim for

women of other ethnic and racial backgrounds as well. While today

we bring awareness to our AAPI women, next month we will talk about

the wage gap for women of all backgrounds. Thank you, Mr.

President.

Senator Muñoz, for what purpose do you rise?

SENATOR MUÑOZ:

Thank you, Mr. President. Point of personal privilege.


State your point.

SENATOR MUÑOZ:

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, just like to let -- let

you know our Parliamentarian, Gio, his birthday was yesterday. If

we can wish him a happy birthday. Hard-working young man. Happy

birthday, Gio.


Senator Koehler, for what purpose do you rise?

SENATOR KOEHLER:

Thank you, Mr. President. A point of personal privilege.


State your point.

SENATOR KOEHLER:

If I could have everybody's attention, we've got a special

momentous occasion here. The House just passed a resolution

honoring Mary Patton. You know her as a volunteer with AARP. Mary

has spent twenty years working as a volunteer. She's now eighty-

two years young and she's still working as a volunteer. She's an

outspoken champion on policies regarding elder abuse and financial

exploitation. She has been twenty years representing Peoria County

and the AARP as a member of the Peoria County Human Services

Transportation Plan Steering Committee. One fact that they didn't

mention in the House is that Mary is the one person that beat me

in an election in 1984, when we both ran for Auditor, and she wiped

me out. So… Yeah, thanks for… But she's been a friend for --

against those companies who are doing these robocalls against so

many individuals in this State. Know of no opposition. Would be
