Plan for long term education funding gains cautious reception
Donald Kreger, a financial committee chair and school board member, proposed a long term fund to finance education in Illinois. He argues for setting aside money now, earning interest, and using only the earnings for education funding, potentially reducing local property taxes later. Several lawmakers called the idea intriguing but politically risky as they favor current spending.
