Senator Andy Manar worked to reform school funding last session, but his proposal stalled in the House. The Democrat from Bunker Hill said he will try again this year...
"The work on the bill hasn't stopped, because the problems that we face are getting larger as time goes on. The fact that the senate president underscored the issue I think is further evidence that we have momentum to bring about what I hope is a bipartisan solution to what I think is the state's biggest problem."
Manar says many of the other problems in Illinois could be helped by having more equity in education.
