Scully Pushes Education Amendment for 51 Percent Funding
Illinois state Rep. George Scully and supporters push a constitutional amendment to require the state to fund at least 51 percent of public education costs. They warn current reliance on property taxes widens the gap between rich and poor districts and could lead to deeper cuts if not approved for a November 2000 referendum.
