| 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
|
