With lawmakers to convene in Springfield until a new school funding formula is passed, a local lawmaker is calling out area lawmakers to do the right thing.
State Sen. Chapin Rose says Democratic downstate lawmakers have the opportunity to vote for what is best for their home districts or side with Mike Madigan and do what is best for Chicago.
According to Sen. Rose, every district in downstate Illinois does better under the Governor's plan as opposed to Senate Bill 1.
Sen. Rose had strong words for downstate lawmakers that would side with Speaker Madigan on the funding reform proposal.
Legislation was not on the Governor's desk by noon Monday so lawmakers will convene Wednesday for special session until a funding formula is passed.
