Lottery plan could help or harm Illinois schools
Illinois faces a high stakes choice on privatizing the state lottery. Governor Blagojevich proposes a $10 billion deal to lease or sell the lottery, with $4 billion directed to four years of school programs while the rest is invested to 2025. Best case sees boosted tutoring, libraries, and tech prompting education funding reform, while worst case fears insufficient revenue, four-year windfall fading, and higher taxes.
