Renegade Democrats align with GOP on school aid
Illinois House Democrats joined Republicans to block increases in state aid for local schools beyond the governor’s request. In separate votes the House rejected a 54 million boost to the aid formula and then defeated a 20 million addition, as Thompson persists in pushing for what he calls full funding. The chamber also moved funds from high state employment districts to general aid and approved a separate education bill with 5.2 million in extra categorical aid, still well below the board of education’s request.
