ILLINOIS STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 87: Sign the petition: Urge Gov. Pritzker to not hold school funding hostage to his tax hike.

87

Illinois State House District 87 issued the following announcement on Feb. 25.

In his annual budget address this year, Governor J.B. Pritzker proposed withholding $150 million of state funds for local K-12 schools unless voters approve his income tax hike in the November elections. Pritzker also proposed cutting transportation funding by $40 million if his tax hike doesn’t pass, which would harm rural school districts in particular.

Yes, I urge Governor Pritzker to not hold school funding hostage to his tax hike. Our schoolchildren and teachers deserve more resources and certainty in funding.
