Two months after passage of a plan to change the way schools in Illinois are funded the bill that does just that is waiting for the Governor’s signature. But that’s an outcome that no one thinks possible.
Bruce Rauner has promised to veto Senate Bill 1 once he gets it on his desk. The Governor got the bill yesterday but didn’t act immediately to veto it. There was last minute hope at the state house that Republicans and Democrats could find a compromise on sticky issues surrounding funding for the Chicago Public Schools.
But Republican Senator Jason Barickman says Democrats were not looking for true compromise.
Once the Governor veto’s the bill the Senate has 15 days to act or the bill dies and the process would have to start all over again.
