Special Session Called for Wednesday on Illinois School Funding Reform Bill

Another special session starts Wednesday.  Gov. Rauner last week set noon today as the deadline for the Senate to submit Senate Bill 1 to him so he could rewrite it to make it less generous to Chicago schools. The deadline was not met. Senate President John Cullerton issued a statement saying that Rauner should convene meetings so that a compromise on school funding reform can be reached. Rauner rejected the idea.
