Faces of the Budget: Students Suffered from Bruce Rauner’s Mismanagement
Tuesday, February 13, 2018
Chicago, IL – After three years of unbalanced budgets and a historic 736-day budget crisis, Bruce Rauner’s gross mismanagement has hurt children and families across the state. This week, the Pritzker campaign is highlighting not just the numbers on spreadsheets, but the real faces harmed by Rauner’s heartless cuts.
Students’ potential has been stifled by Bruce Rauner’s budget mismanagement as he leveraged their future and sent them fleeing. Here are the facts:
“Bruce Rauner has led an all-out assault on public education in Illinois and stifled our students’ futures,” said JB Pritzker. “Bright young people are fleeing the state after this failed governor held their MAP grant funding hostage and wrecked the finances of our public colleges and universities. We need a governor who understands that education is the key to breaking down barriers to opportunity and building a better future. That’s the type of leader I will be for Illinois.”
