HOUSE RESOLUTION

 
2     WHEREAS, The members of this House of Representatives have
3 always been proud supporters of the First Amendment and
4 admirers of the journalistic practitioners who strive to keep
5 the public informed on the works of government; and
 
6     WHEREAS, From time to time, certain practitioners display a
7 special knack for the craft and a unique understanding of the
8 impact the work of the legislature has on the day-to-day lives
9 of Illinois citizens; and
 
10     WHEREAS, One of those practitioners is Illinois Radio
11 Network Statehouse reporter Eva Golterman; and
 
12     WHEREAS, Following stellar academic performances at
13 Galesburg High School and Bradley University, Eva Golterman
14 began a distinguished career reporting for radio stations in
15 Illinois and Iowa; and
 
16     WHEREAS, While a journalism career can sometimes have an
17 adversarial relationship with the government, Eva Golterman's
18 understanding is grounded in the experience of her mother,
19 Caroline Porter, the first women elected to the Knox County
20 Board; and
 
21     WHEREAS, These efforts led her to the Illinois Statehouse,
22 where, for 15 years, Eva Golterman has skillfully informed
23 listeners about State government without ever using inside
24 jargon like shell bill, concurrence, and postponed
25 consideration to confuse or complicate her reports; and
 
26     WHEREAS, While the joys of Statehouse reporting are
27 plentiful, Eva Golterman has opted to take her award winning
28 career in another direction through the establishment of a
29 public relations consulting business; therefore, be it
 

 

 

HR1133 - 2 - LRB093 22904 HSS 52757 r

1     RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
2 NINETY-THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we
3 thank and congratulate Eva Golterman for her work and
4 contribution to the betterment of the lives of the people of
5 Illinois and offer best wishes to her and her family on the new
6 endeavor; and be it further
 
7     RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be
8 presented to Eva Golterman as an expression of our respect and
9 esteem.
