Cullerton blames Chicago Public Schools funding crisis on Rauner
Illinois senate president John Cullerton told parents at Coonley Elementary that Governor Bruce Rauner is the chief obstacle to CPS solving its funding crisis. His explanation didn’t go over very well—Coonley parents quickly blamed Cullerton for being a part of the Springfield dysfunction. “It just feels like there is a lot of finger-pointing at Governor Rauner, who is a very easy target to point fingers at—his ideas are radical, as far as I’m concerned. But you guys have been there when this problem was coming,” parent Julie Greenberg said at the meeting. [Sun-Times]
