Rauner Vetoes Portions Of Public School Funding Bill
Just after finishing a two year political standoff over a state budget, Illinois lawmakers are heading toward another impasse, this time over education funding.
Denouncing it a “bailout” of Chicago Public Schools, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner on Tuesday partially vetoed a bill to overhaul the state’s school funding formula, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown over education funding that could cut off state money to schools across Illinois.
