• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Every month we get representatives in to talk about news
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and information from the state of Illinois. Our representatives are busy,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: but they make time for us to talk about the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: important issues again affecting our state and local districts. And
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: here with us today is our seventy fourth district state representative,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: live in the studios this morning and dressed for golf today. Yes,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: he has come dressed for the for the yes season,

  Speaker 1: I guess, and for his event today.

• 0:57
  Speaker 1: state representative out of Dixon. It is nice to have
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: him on board. And yeah, just briefly upfront, let's talk
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: about that, you know, because you got you know, a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: gathering taking place today, right, You're going to be swinging

  Speaker 1: the clubs, is that right?
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah? We're going to be out starting at ten thirty
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: today out at Loas Station golf Course. You know, it's
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: probably what I hate the most about being an elected
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: official is the raising money Porsche. But unfortunately it's a
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: necessary evil and we have a very generous community who
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: comes out to support and so we're looking forward to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that event this afternoon today and this morning and this afternoon.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You know, as we prepare for another run. And we're
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: going to talk to our representative about that run a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: little bit later on in our broadcast today. But nonetheless,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: as our representative just says stated, he's going to be
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on the links today at Lost Nation again with his
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: golf outing today. And it looks like a beautiful day.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: First of all, you picked a nice day, you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to run the show.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: As ready as it's better. Yeah, I feel bloss that's.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: For sure, exactly so so so it should be a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: good day for golf on the links at Lost Nation.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So that just upfront with our state representative, Brad, we
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: wanted to kind of kick things off in talking about
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: some activities since the last time you and I discussed
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: things on the air here at Wixon and of course
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the last time that Brad was with us. Was just
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: before the legislative session ended end of May, first of June,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of course, and things were put into place evidently, you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: for the for the upcoming year. Are you satisfied with
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the way that the that the session ended, and are
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you satisfied moving forward? I mean, we'll give.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Us your take. You know, I'm never satisfied here. You know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I was elected by the people to go down and
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: serve the people. And it's very unfortunate year after year
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: when we go down. The most important piece of legislation
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: that we address every year is our state budget. Doubt
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: it funds everything from local governments to schools, to the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: vary services that we have, taking care of our roadways,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: taking care of our most vulnerable, et cetera. And a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: document of that magnitude that touches so many people deserves
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to have the proper process, the proper vetting, the proper
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: understanding so that everybody knows what's going in that. And
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: this year, unlike any you know, any of the years
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: of the past, they pushed it through right at the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: end May thirty, first, five minutes before midnight. We saw
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: it get hammered through a fifty five point two billion
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: dollar budget, largest in state history. And let me put
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: this in perspective a little bit on how big this
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: number really is. Absolutely, Governor Pritzker was elected in twenty nineteen,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the state of Illinois was right in that thirty five
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to forty billion dollar mark and had been the previous
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: ten years just going up and down ever so slightly.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: In the seven years now that we've had Governor Pritzker
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: as our governor, we've gone from a forty billion dollar
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: budget to a fifty five point two billion dollar budget,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a fifteen billion dollar increase in seven years. It's unbelievable.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And luckily revenues have been able to keep up with
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that to some degree. But what does that say for
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the rest of the state is the revenues have kept
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: up with that, but the spending has gone up so much.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: If we could reign back that spending. We showed in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the previous decade that we could run a state for
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: fifteen billion dollars cheaper. So if we had that money
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to put in into our pension systems, our infrastructure, our
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: failing school systems. In some areas, like if we we
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: need better priorities and could have had better priorities. But again,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: fifty five point two billion, biggest in state history. It's unbelievable.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And the take that I get, Bran, and maybe you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: can comment on this as well, and I've talked to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: other representatives about this as well, is the fact that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: after this budget was passed, there was really no backslapping
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: from either side of the aisle. I didn't hear of anybody,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you know, coming out and saying this is great. Listen,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: We're well, this is positive, this is great. I didn't
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: hear that from anybody on either side of the eye.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Obviously from your end, you just you just talked about
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it from the Republican side, But even you know, on
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the other side of the eye right, really didn't see,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know, too much backslapping or congratulations you know, thrown
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: around for this.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Particular book, for sure. And that's because unless you're a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: high ranking member of the majority party, you're just as
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: in the dark as a minority party. You're sitting there
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out if the the things that you
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: wanted in the budget are there. Even and again from
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a partisan basis, you know, you can I've heard this
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: a lot from my colleagues, and you can say what
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you want to. Former Speaker Madigan's convicted, he's going to prison,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: but he had an element of statesmanship to him. There
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: used to be this thing called Member initiative money that
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: was given out to all Senators and representatives, and it
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: was when it was in the budget. It was given
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: out to both sides. Since we Speaker Madigan moved on
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and we have Speaker Welch, now we have member initiative
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: money in the budget. But in this particular budget, if
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you live in a Senate district that has a Democratic senator,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: you will get three million dollars year to that senator
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to spend in this district. If you are in a
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: district that's represented by a Democrat, as in a representative district,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: they're going to get a million and a half to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: spend in their districts. You know what, Ceda Arilano and
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I are going to get a big fat goose wow wow.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And this is something we've seen in the past three
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: or so years, which is a change from years past.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: But it's very disheartening to see that just because the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: people of the seventy fourth District and the people of
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the thirty seventh Legislative District elect Republicans to represent them
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: that they're not entitled to the same amount of money
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: as though who elect Democrats. It's pretty it's really disheartening.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: It's it's not a good process.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: This is built in, This was a built into the budget.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Yep for this year.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Absolutely wow.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Well again, yeah, frustrations you know, on the amount. And again,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: as our state representative points out, the highest state budget
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: ever passed in the stal Illinois is now intact, it's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: been signed, it's going forward.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: That's it. We're in.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Budget here is July first, June thirtieth, so we are in.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Speaking about the late night again agreement on the budget
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: this year. You again joined some other representatives to kind
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of combat this particular decision on how this is run.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Now and then we've seen this, you know now come
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: up you know more than often now in our in
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: our legislative votes.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Absolutely in previous years we've seen at this idea, idea
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: of gutting and replacing a bill. So the constitution says
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: that a bill has to be read three separate times
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: on three separate days. And what'll happen is, you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: a bill will come forward and I believe it was
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the budget bill last year that was put on a
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: bill that was naming the soybean the state being. So
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: it passes the House as the state being, it goes
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: over to the Senate, it passes committee as the state being,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: gets to the Senate floor, and then they decide that
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: that's what they're going to use for the budget bill.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: So they do what's called a gut and replace amendment,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: where they strike all the language of the underlying bill
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and they put all the budget language in as an
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: amendment to this bill, and then the Senate will pass it,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and it'll come back to the House on concurrence and
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the House will have the opportunity to pass as well.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: So this is a practice that's gone on forever that
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: circumvents that third three reading rule as it's intended by
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the Constitution. And we're pushing back on that. We filed
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a lawsuit as a group, and the piece of legislation
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: that we filed it on is egregiously violates it. It's
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the piece of legislation that was pushed by the trial
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: attorneys right at the end that basically said if any
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: business does business in the state of Illinois, regardless if
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: they're headquarters is here, and there's an incident that takes
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: place that a civil suit is being brought forward. So
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: if somebody is in a boating accident in the state
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: of Maine, and they're from the state of Maine, they
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: purchased the boat in the state of Maine, manufacture of
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the boats in Florida, they because that company happens to
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: sell boats in the state of Illinois, that person has
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: a right to sue in the state of Illinois under
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Illinois law. The way this legislation was passed, which is
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: it's absolutely ludicrous. That person has nothing to do with Illinois.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: The boat manufacturer has nothing to do with Illinois, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: incident has nothing to do with Illinois. But yet we're
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: going to allow somebody to come in and then if
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: they push it to a jury trial. Now we have
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: everyday Illinois citizens who are getting called in to serve
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: on a jury on an incident that has nothing to
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: do with them that they shouldn't be a part of
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: to begin with. But we filed the lawsuit on this
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and we want to see if the integrity of the
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: court is there to hold up the intention of the Constitution.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: And we shall see.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And that is why again we have this suit now
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and this is moving forward through the courts. Then Brad,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: is that yeah, okay, okay, all right. So again that
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: came up obviously after to the state budget, and you know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: it's kind of you know, you know, disheartening, I guess
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to see this type of practice, not just with this
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: particular situation, but with with situations in the past taking
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: place more and more in this absolutely and so Representative
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Fritz and again a handful of representatives have again banded
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: together to bring this again lawsuit to the state of Illinois.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: So we'll keep track of that through our state representative
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: who joins us this morning. Brad Fritz is our guest today,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: our seventy fourth district state representative. We're going to take
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a break for five minutes of news at the half hour, Brad,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: But when we come back, we're going to talk about
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the district, about your plans moving forward, and about some
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of the town halls and coffee and conversations that Brad
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: has taken part in recently across our northern Alanois area.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: But we're going to take five minutes of news out
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: with Tim Ley next on w ACCENT. Stay with us
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: as we continue our conversation with our seventy fourth district
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: state representative out of Dixon, Our good friend Brad Fritz,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: has lied with us at the microphones this morning here
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: at w ACCENT for our Springfield legislative update for this month. Brad,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: thanks for spending the extra time with us. Absolutely, always
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: love to well and we're going to shift gears and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: go into a little bit more of a local aspect
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: with our state representative. We talked about state House activity
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: last month last half hour, i should say, with our
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: first portion of our talk line today. Of course, Brad,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you've announced recently that you are going to be seeking
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: a third term of office. Now he Okay.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: You know it's been an unbelievably humbling experience to be
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: elected to two terms in the Illinois House, to be
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: able to serve our community or friends, neighbors, and you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the work's not done. We've had a district office for
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: these last for well three years now that has had
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: an open line of communication. We've worked hard to get
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: out in our community to try to understand the needs
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and wants of members of the community and take those
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: needs and wants to Springfield. And as we continue this
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: year on our third on our third summer tour. Those
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: needs aren't being met, and it's the duty of our
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: office to continue to go and fight for that, for
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: property tax reform, for public safety reform, to make sure
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: that everybody in the state is able to live the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: most prosperous life possible. And uh, when we see manipulent
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: tricks like we saw on this budget, you know, we
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: need to be able to stand up and continue to
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: be the firewall. And so I'm proud and very excited
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: to announce that, uh I'm gonna run for a third
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: term of office and continue that fight on behalf of
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: our community.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Well and again we'll look forward to uh again the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: obviously upcoming electoral year, and again wish you the best
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of luck, obviously in your thank you so much again.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Announcement just made recently that Brad Rich will be seeking
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: another term as our seventy fourth state representative here in
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: our Newrthern, Illinois area. I hope those boundaries don't change
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: any more. Brad Well, Yeah, that's that's another That's that's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: for another year to talk about. Yeah right, we won't
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: talk about that now, but again, uh uh we'll look
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: for or to some excitement with that coming our way
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: as we move forward with Brad announcing the term again
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: running for another term. Putting kind of a wrapt on
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the recent legislative session. You know your work in this session. Now,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: are you satisfied for what you were able to accomplish?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: You know, as far as you know your goals or
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you know what what can you give me?
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Absolutely? You know, every piece of legislation that I file
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: comes directly as a constituent request. And this year we
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: had four pieces of legislation that we were able to
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: move out of the House. We're going to have to
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: continue negotiations on some of them in the Senate.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: But.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it's incredibly important to continue to push
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: those out. But as you know, you know, I sent
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: in a super minority party, so we're not going to
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: get the monumental tax reforms, We're not going to get
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: some of these ginormous pieces of legislation. We have to
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: chip away at the things that we can and you know,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Steve sometimes just kind of wrapping this up. Sometimes people
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: stop as they bread you know, you're in a super minority.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: What can you really do? And a lot of times
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: it's sit there and get your teeth kicked in, but
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: there are times when you're able to work with partners
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: in Springfield to be able to message to our moderate
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: colleagues on the other side of the aisle and be
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: able to stop legislation. And we were able to stop
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: major pieces of legislation this year from going through from
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: everything from township consolidation to homeschool reform to the Chicago
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: transit bill that was being pushed that would have put
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: significant taxes, and the most important stop, my opinion, was
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: an energy bill that was being proposed and the wee
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: hours of the legislative session that would have increased the
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: rates on manufacturers and people by just outrageous amounts of money,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: outrageous amounts. So, you know, it's a combination of you know,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: pushing forward some of you know, the smaller lifts that
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: were able to get across the finish line, but also
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: negotiating down those detrimental pieces, and I think we've been
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: able to do that very effectively this year.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Brad. You know, you mentioned your summer tour. You mentioned,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you know that you're about well three quarters of away,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: maybe you know, two thirds of a way through your
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: summer tour of the district. As you make your way
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: through the summer of twenty twenty five into the next sessions,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: which will be coming a little bit later on in
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the year. We'll get to that a little bit later on.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, from your summer toursts and uh talks
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: with constituents all over our district too, what are the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: you know you mentioned, you know, one of the questions
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: that you talked about being in the super minority party.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: You know, that's what That's one of the questions that's
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: been I mean, what are the what are the concerns
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: of our of our constitution? What do you mean?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: It's the biggest things fall around taxes, and as everybody
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: got their real estate taxes this year, everything goes up.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: You know, they say it's the state raising the taxes,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: and you know the answer is directly no, but indirectly yes.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: We continue to push unfunded mandates upon smaller units of
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: government municipalities, counties, school districts. And when we push those
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: unfunded mandates on them, and they got to pick up
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: the difference, what's the way that they are able to
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: generate revenue? Increasing property taxes. I get a lot of
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: people who get frustrated about the estate tax. We hear
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: that in rural farming communities all the time. People who
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: have multi generational farmland and farms that have been in
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the family for years and somebody passes away, and because
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Illinois doesn't have the same exemptions as the federal government,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: people have to quite literally sell parcels of their multi
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: generational farm just to pay the death taxes on it.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: And it's outrageous. This year we came the closest that
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: we've ever come in getting that incorporated into the budget,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: lifting that estate tax up to the federal exemption levels.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: And our partner Farm Bureau ran some numbers on what
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: that would look like, and it was going to be
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: about a twenty million dollar cost to the state. You think, boy,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: you can say, Brad, twenty million dollars is a lot
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: of money. Let me put this in perspective a little bit.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Speaker Welch, the Speaker of the House, put a forty
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: million dollars line item in the budget to build a
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: sports complex. It is Alma Mater High School. We're talking
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: about twice the amount of money that's needed to save
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: multi generational farms and multi generational businesses is going into
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: a sports complex rather than making sure that these multi
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: generational companies are able to move on. It's it's sick,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: is what it is. And then has the audacity to
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: stand up and say, well, we had a real tough
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: budget year and unfortunately we weren't able to get it
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: in this year. Okay, okay, tough budget year, all right, but.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: We are going to get a new sports complex. Good,
• 22:00
