Statement from Mayor Emanuel

Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

"Tonight we'll hear yet another speech about a state budget from the Governor, the fourth like it he's given. Since he's taken office all he's done is give speeches and run TV ads -- and he's passed zero budgets. Under Governor Rauner today Illinois is dead last in education funding, Illinois has the worst credit rating of any state in the history of the country, and for three years running Illinois is the only state without a budget. Talk is cheap. Actions matter."
