Manar pushes K-12 funding reform amid Illinois budget talk
Senator Andy Manar moves to redistribute ten billion in K-12 funding by district need with a 231 billion price tag over four years. The plan aims to boost equity for poor rural and inner city districts while holding harmless wealthier ones, contrasting Rauner’s district by district allocations and a higher overall price. Marin Gjaja of the Boston Consulting Group backs Manar, noting Illinois ranked 50th in funding equity and calling Manar’s bill a giant step forward.

No Rules in Politics A View From Indiana Policy Review
Craig Ludwig, editor of the Indiana Policy Review, argues that politics lacks real rules, noting scandals and impeachments as evidence that politicians evade formal constraints. He likens political maneuvering to Potter’s sports rules and cites Clinton era figures and a Pirates of the Caribbean image to satirize modern strategy.
