IFT lambasts Thompson over education funding stance
Illinois Federation of Teachers leaders in Springfield accuse Gov. James R Thompson of dodging state problems and delaying solutions until after fall elections. They critique his liquor tax idea for education funding and warn a $53 million cut could devastate public education. Healey outlines long term tax and policy fixes, including a 1 percent income tax increase and decoupling state rules from federal guidelines. The 45,000 member union cites a postcard campaign and notes potential savings from policy shifts. Chris Warning joins Pi Mu Epsilon at Augustana College. The ad ends with a motor cycle sale pitch.
