Sen. Rose: Governor's Amendatory Veto Saving Downstate School From Devastating Cuts

Last week, the Governor vetoed a last minute change to the education reform bill that passed last year and a local lawmaker is in the Governor's corner as the bill that passed would cost nearly all of his districts.
 
State Senator Chapin Rose indicates the proposed change came along at the last minute of the veto session and explains it would cost almost all of his districts a significant amount of funding.
 
 
Sen. Rose points out Clinton and Monticello schools are just a few of the winners in the bill amendent but it is a minimal increase. He doesn't feel the bill fits the original purpose of the reforms made in school funding in the state.
 
 
For local districts, the Senator indicates the impacts are varied across his district.
 
 
For now, Sen. Rose indicates the comptroller is going to distribute school funding as the current bill reads until something changes from lawmakers.
