HR0971LRB104 22280 MST 38666 r

1HOUSE RESOLUTION

2 WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of 

3Representatives were deeply puzzled to hear that one of our 

4favorite colleagues, Representative Paul Jacobs' wife, Rhoda 

5Jacobs, will soon depart this chamber as they begin their 

6prospective journey to the upper chamber; and

7 WHEREAS, We cannot understand why a firmly grounded son of 

8Southern Illinois would seek to leave the Illinois House of 

9Representatives and steal Rhoda away from us, considering this 

10is the historic chamber of Abraham Lincoln, to pursue what are 

11said to be legislative opportunities in the other chamber of 

12the Illinois General Assembly; and

13 WHEREAS, Although Rep. Jacobs has been a practicing 

14optometrist for well more than 40 years, something must have 

15gone out of focus if he thinks this is a step up in the State 

16Capitol; and

17 WHEREAS, We will especially miss our departing colleague's 

18beloved wife, Rhoda Jacobs, who has been a pillar of support to 

19all of us on the floor of the Illinois House; and

20 WHEREAS, We strongly suspect that Rhoda Jacobs fought to 

21the last against this questionable move, but now that it is 

HR0971- 2 -LRB104 22280 MST 38666 r

1being made anyway, we wish her and Rep. Jacobs well; 

2therefore, be it

3 RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE 

4HUNDRED FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that 

5we bid goodbye to Rhoda Jacobs as well as her husband, 

6Representative Paul Jacobs; and be it further

7 RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be 

8presented to Rhoda Jacobs as a symbol of our respect and 

9esteem.
