Gov. Rauner again seeks to pit Chicago against rest of Illinois

Gov. Rauner again seeks to pit Chicago against rest of Illinois: "But this time it's a particularly risky move ahead of Rauner's 2018 re-election bid, with schools across the state potentially paying the price."



It's about time our downstate neighbors are finally waking up to this racially motivated sham. If you choke off funds for city public schools guess where those students will wind up when those schools close? The GOP playbook is always those Black and Brown people are taking from you. That's the lie they use for you to elect them and they turn around and rip you off.

Once you put them in office, the first thing they do is give tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations that don't need them. They then turn around and increase the sales tax on all of us. The next step they take is going after your pensions. He's the kicker. The majority of teachers are White. The majority of state workers are White. Blaming Black and Brown people in Chicago for something they never caused is beyond pathetic because every time they do this, the entire state eventually pays the price.
