About the photo with the post by the Illinois Observer at the criminal justice reformer presser? Was someone lining up a soccer penalty kick behind the camera?
There would be funding to address Righter’s concerns if they would pass a bill that voters approved of in the last election to tax incomes over $1 million by 3% to pay for education. That advisory referendum passed overwhelmingly. I’m willing to bet that for all his whining about “no funding” Righter has voted against actually getting funding in the first place.

“Connelly co-sponsored SB2157, requiring leadership training for community college board members, passes.”
All school boards members (not just community college board members) should be required to take leadership training as soon as they are elected.

Rep. Drury please think of all the IL college students you will be helping by voting ‘Yes’ on SB2043. The students need your vote!
