Statement from Mayor Emanuel on Governor Rauner's Veto of S.B. 2822

Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

“This action is both reckless and irresponsible, and make no mistake, it’s our children who will pay the price. The governor is lashing out, imperiling the system-wide gains earned by Chicago students and teachers, and proving just the latest example of his willingness to put the burden of his failures on the backs of the state’s most vulnerable citizens, whether it’s schoolchildren, college students, seniors, or those living with disabilities. This is no way to run a state.”
