GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS THE INVEST IN KIDS PROGRAM COULD BE REVIVED…BUT MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

LAWMAKERS DID NOT VOTE TO EXTEND THE PRIVATE SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR LOW-INCOME CHILDREN, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO END DECEMBER 31ST. THE GOVERNOR WAS ASKED ABOUT IT AT AN UNRELATED EVENT AND SAID THE PARAMETERS NEED SOME FINE-TUNING.

GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAID THAT CREDIT MAY BE TOO MUCH.

INVEST IN KIDS IS SET TO END DECEMBER 31ST UNLESS LAWMAKERS VOTE TO EXTEND THE PROGRAM WHEN THEY RETURN FOR THE FALL VETO SESSION. IF THAT HAPPENS, THE GOVERNOR SAYS HE WILL SIGN THE BILL.
