And I would rather take our time and do things right and pass with bipartisan support like it did last night than rush and get something wrong just because some know-it-all reporter like Mark Gannis thinks it should go up on the board for a vote.
I don't like disappointing people.
I like to be successful.
And so you put systems in place that ensure that success.
And that's what we've done.
And because of those systems, we've had some major victories for the state of Illinois, some major victories for the governor.
victories that he runs around the country bragging about.
He didn't do it by himself.
He did it with the House, the Senate, and his office working in collaboration.
And with my chamber being double the size of the Senate, it takes a little bit longer.
I got to hear people out.
I got to listen to their concerns.
The day that folks say that I don't listen to their concerns, particularly my members, I believe that's going to be the last day that I'm Speaker of the House.

I've had several conversations with Kevin Warren over the last year and a half, two years.
It's been a very cordial, professional, friendly relationship.
And I value the relationship.
And I appreciated the call last night.
And he said, I know we still got some more things that we got to get done.
