Halpin Should Make Clear Where He Stands
“Within the next two weeks, Mike Halpin must decide whether he will stand with the families in his district, or vote to bail out Chicago Public Schools with $215 million in taxpayer money. Halpin should make clear today where he stands.” – Illinois Republican Party Spokesman Steven Yaffe
After Democratic leaders yesterday reneged on their promise to pass pension reform, an agreement that would have freed up resources for Chicago schools, House Democrats will soon face their first big test.
They can either stand for taxpayers who are demanding fiscal sanity from Springfield, or vote to recklessly bail out Chicago Public Schools.
