Speaker Mike Madigan playing games is how one local lawmaker described a Wednesday session at the statehouse that saw a bill get introduced to the House of Representatives that did not get any support.
 
State Rep. Bill Mitchell says a vote is off for another week while Illinois schools wait on revenue from the state.
 
 
Rep. Mitchell calls Senate Bill 1 a bailout of Chicago Public Schools. While he wouldn't say which district, he says he has one district in his area that can only last until October or November.
 
Rep. Mitchell points out, the money is available for schools, it is just a matter of Illinois leadership figuring out how it is going to be dispersed across the state.
