Brady Weighs In As Talks Continue on School Funding

It's one of the longest leaders meetings in recent memory. Legislative leaders met for five hours Tuesday hoping to strike a deal on Senate Bill One, the school funding reform package. 
 
Republican leaders say they asked House Speaker Mike Madigan not to proceed with Wednesday's planned override vote as a show of good faith in negotiations. 
 
Senate Minority Leader Bill Brady and House Minority Leader Jim Durkin say Madigan wouldn't commit either way. Brady says the governor's presence at talks isn't crucial.
 
 
Brady rejected claims that Governor Rauner is "moving the goalposts" in the school funding debate.
 
 
The House will be in session tomorrow for a planned override vote of Governor Rauner's amendatory veto of Senate Bill One.
