| 1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION

| 3 | must be taken to save as much taxpayer money
as possible; and
| ||||||
| 4 | WHEREAS, A common complaint voiced by taxpayers around the | ||||||
| 5 | State of Illinois is the amount of energy that is
being wasted | ||||||

| ||||||
| 7 | WHEREAS, Utilities make up a substantial portion of State | ||||||

| 12 | expenses within State buildings should be
explored; therefore, | ||||||
