Downstate Democrats help GOP kill teacher bill
Chicago Democrats failed to revive a teachers collective bargaining bill amid Senate opposition led by Republicans and Downstate lawmakers. The six day suspension motion fell short 22 to passage, with critics noting the vote likely shaped by bargaining over party affiliation rules and highway projects. Senate debates hinted at a swap involving Downstate support for a highway bond measure.
