In his budget address, Governor Bruce Rauner offered lawmakers two options for solving the state’s current budget mess. Governor Rauner says lawmakers can either pass his proposed reforms like Worker’s Compensation and Pension Reform, or give him the authority to make the drastic cuts necessary to balance the budget. He issued this reminder.
There was no mention of funding for higher education, but Rauner is calling for more money to go towards early childhood and Kindergarten thru 12th grade education.
