Lottery education funds finally directed to school fund
A critical look at the Illinois State Lottery shows how money flows. In 1988 prizes claimed 51 cents per dollar, with 40 cents to the common school fund, and 4 cents for operating expenses. Total lottery sales reached 1.3 billion, yet the common school fund still trails by about 1 billion, prompting calls for riverboat gambling to shore up education funding.

The pair traded personal barbs and accusations of drinking and conflict of interest as the Tower nomination sparked broader partisan rancor.
