(Chicago, IL) — Governor Rauner today accused Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan of intimidating officials at funding-challenged state colleges from supporting Rauner’s reform proposals. Rauner told reporters in Chicago today that officials from Chicago State University and Northeastern Illinois University were instructed by Madigan’s office to not support any funding bills that Madigan didn’t propose. Rauner also accused Madigan of holding up votes on bills that would restore college funding, but that also include some of the reforms Rauner is seeking.
