The Latest: House vote on Rauner school veto defeated
(AP) — The Latest on Illinois House debate over public school funding legislation (all times local):
Rauner vetoed a school-funding model he says unfairly favors Chicago schools and hinders state funding flexibility.
Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner says he's determined to fight a "corrupt political machine in Chicago" and its "special deals" as he seeks a second term.
Rauner spoke at a GOP breakfast Wednesday before heading to the Illinois State Fairgrounds for a campaign rally.
The events coincide with an Illinois House session where legislators are considering Rauner's amendatory veto of a school funding bill.
Rauner's campaign released two new TV ads Wednesday that call the original legislation a "bailout" for CPS and blast Democratic leaders for "insider deals."
A House education appropriations committee heard testimony Wednesday on legislation that incorporates changes the Republican governor made in an amendatory veto of Senate Bill 1 .
Rauner says it favors Chicago schools over others and limits state funding flexibility.
