Lol. Just because you don't like the story doesn't mean it's false. The Trib is pretty good about its sources and facts.

Yep, makes all the sense in the world to compare " Illinois teachers was set at $9,000 in July 1980.". with what they get today. :lol:

Minimum pay of $9000? What the **** is a teacher doing for $9000??? And if they are being paid THAT much? How can it be justified to pay that same person $40,000???

Mismanagement in Illinois is certainly no secret. 1972 to 1976 is Dan Walker territory.

Doesn't have a lick to do with Bruce Rauner and the teacher minimum wage.

I did not say it did. As I posted, the root of the problem in Illinois is a unionized public sector, and the corrupt politicians who purchase union support with future benefits.

That's no secret. Rauner did his part to screw up the state also. They're all crooks.

Illinois Republican Governor Bruce Rauner.



Rauner, a multimillionaire, personally financed much of his campaign in 2014. However, his Democrat opponent in 2018 is J.B. Pritzker of the billionaire Pritzker family. Rauner's four year term has been a disaster (in fairness he has been blocked on many initiative's by the majority Democratic legislature) and I believe his term as governor will end in November. This will result in a reverse of the Federal problem .... the Illinois Dems will control all levers of state government plus the City of Chicago.

You truly don't understand how fragile school funding has been in Illinois. It spends more than any other state in the Midwest and is 13th in the US. Meanwhile outcomes are much lower than 13th.

Traditionally spending more on teachers has led to lots of revenue fights, strikes, and contentious spending bills.

Lol. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

The OP intent is more about Rauner than school funding. I think his veto just about seals his fate in November.

Your asinine comment is indicative of how you reflect bad policy as being the fault of a Republican when the bill being proposed is just bad policy. Illinois spends entirely too much per student for the results it gets. Spending more is not the problem. A democratic governor isn't going to fix that, its going to make it worse.
