Budget Proposal Would Fund Education, Social Services

A budget proposal that is making it's way through the Illinois General Assembly today (Thursday) would fund education for a year and take social service agencies to the end of the current calendar year.

 

State Senator Chapin Rose (right) says the bill was worked out with bi-partisan support and calls it a "fair deal."

 

 

Sen. Rose says having a budget in place will allow lawmakers to begin to make progress on a grand bargain and begin to payoff the billions owed.

 

 

Sen. Rose says this agreement is fair for all schools and students in Illinois and doesn't bail out Chicago Public Schools.

 

The General Assembly is expected to pass the bill today.
