(Springfield, IL) — Governor Rauner is warning lawmakers not to approve a stopgap budget that includes a financial bailout for Chicago Public Schools. The governor said yesterday that legislators are close to an agreement on a spending plan and an education funding bill. However, he said Democratic leaders would derail any deal if they insist on devoting a large amount of money to CPS. Government services could shut down later this week if the General Assembly doesn’t approve a spending plan.
