Two-way street here. The governor is holding the legislature hostage by vetoing any secondary school funding.
Yeah, because he was elected governor to continue to aid and abed the liberal "it's for the children" supermajority that has dominated state policy basically forever while refusing to pay for any of it. He was elected governor to lead and enact change, which is uncomfortable and necessary sometimes.
And I am an Illinois education sector employee.
The state hasn't paid schools for over a decade now, and that's not on Rauner.
It is a two-way street, but failing to pay the children for over a decade is on one side of the aisle. Period.
Glad you agreed with my statement.
