Senate Overrides Rauner Veto On MAP Funding
The Illinois Senate overrode Governor Rauner's veto of SB 2043, funding MAP grants for low income students and supporting community colleges. IFT President Dan Montgomery praised the Senate for reversing the veto, noting over 100,000 students near tuition assistance. Catherine Kelly, Rauner's press secretary, called the bill a sham and urged bipartisan funding to avoid a tax hike and deficit, while thanking House Republicans for backing the stance on taxpayers.
