Local Senators Vote Against SB1

Yesterday at the Statehouse, the Illinois Senate once again overrode the Governor's veto, this time in regards to school funding.
 
Changes made to Senate Bill 1 by Governor Bruce Rauner were overrode. SB1 revamps school funding to help the neediest schools and includes what conservative lawmakerscall call a bailout of Chicago Public Schools.
 
State Sen. Bill Brady, speaking on the Senate floor, does not feel SB1 does not bring parity to the schools of Illinois.
 
 
Sen. Chapin Rose (right) points out 98-percent of Illinois schools are getting "short changed." He expressed frustration for bailing out Chicago in multiple ways.
 
 
The measure will head to the Illinois House, who is expected to take up SB1 mid-week.
