Emanuel Calls Out Rauner For Playing Golf Instead Of Fixing State Budget

CHICAGO (CBS) –Mayor Emanuel accuses Governor Rauner of playing golf rather than dealing with the state’s budget impasse. But the Governor’s office said that’s not true.

At a McCormick Place event promoting Chicago’s Safe Passage Program for public school students, the Mayor gathered reporters to accuse Governor Rauner of putting golf ahead of children. WBBM’s Jim Gudas reports.

“Now unless there is something in the sand track when it comes to funding education – a missing golf ball – my views are the Governor should be in Springfield,” Emanuel said.

But the governor’s office points out right before the Mayor spoke, the Governor held his own news conference to talk about property tax reform, with property taxes remaining key to the future of education funding in Chicago and across the state.
