Pritzker unveils higher education budget – WTVO (Rockford)

The proposal offers a $122 million increase in the state’s Monetary Assistance Program, or “MAP” grant. Nearly $60 million would be used to increase scholarships for minority teaching candidates. The budget also includes $230 million to help rescue the state’s prepaid college tuition program, “College Illinois!”

JB is a GD racist who purposely foments racial hate and division.
