And that’s because of the Governor according to Senate President John Cullerton. The Senate President says today he asked Bruce Rauner personally for a meeting about education funding reforms in Illinois and the Governor flat out refused. 

 

Cullerton says a meeting is important so he and others can find out just how the Governor plans to use an amendatory veto but that won’t be happening. 

 

 

Cullerton says he told the Governor not to worry that Speaker Mike Madigan wouldn’t be at the meeting and that he could bring anyone he wanted. 

 

Even without the meeting, Cullerton has promised to get the bill to the Governor’s desk on Monday.
