SPRINGFIELD – The following statement can be attributed to Catherine Kelly, Press Secretary for Governor Rauner:
“We applaud House Republicans and Representative Drury for standing up for taxpayers today. Despite the Governor's request that the General Assembly not waste time with a political vote that was never going to pass, the legislature is poised to leave students, universities and community colleges in the lurch for at least a month. We continue to urge Democratic leaders not to recess until the General Assembly passes a bipartisan proposal to fund MAP and higher education.”
