I have been a resident of Illinois my whole life, and never have I seen anyone refuse to compromise on our states budget. This is causing needless agony on the hard working people of Illinois, as well as our educational system: Chicago State University has a declared a state of financial emergency and finds itself perhaps on the verge of shuttering its doors. Other institutions, in order to stave off closure, have begun laying off staff and even tenured faculty as well as depleting financial reserves the nation’s Higher Learning Commission requires be maintained at certain levels to meet accreditation standards. Bruce Rauner needs to be impeached as he is causing Illinois people to suffer by losing jobs and education. In this day and age these are two things people cannot afford to lose.
