(Murphysboro, IL) — Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner told southern Illinois high schoolers the rest of the state should be jealous of them. The governor went to Murphysboro High School’s robotics lab to talk-up his push for more education funding. Illinois lawmakers still haven’t approved last year’s budget, and are threatening to cut education funding in this year’s spending plan because no one can agree which schools should get the most money.
