Education Funding Bill Working in Year One

In September of 2017 Governor Bruce Rauner signed the Education Funding Bill into law. We are starting to see what the schools have been able to do in year one of the law.

 

Senator Andy Manar fought for five years to get this law through, he says he is hearing from Superintendents all over the state about just how much a difference this is making in their communities.

 

 

Manar says the biggest bump in the road came when Governor Rauner tried to rewrite the bill when it reached his desk.

 

 

When the legislature saw the new bill that Rauner had rewritten it set the ball in motion and a compromise was able to be reached.

 

 

Senator Manar appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
