Rauner needs to fund education

Partnership at Risk

I as read the Daily Herald's impressive leadership team list, I think these young people who represent different high schools throughout the suburbs, have a few things in common.

There is no doubt that these students have great parents, who are dedicated to their children to giving them the best they as parents and the best that the community from which they choose to live can offer. That means a good education.

These students also have come across a teacher sometime in their academic career who have inspired them to work and be the best student, person, and community member of character they can be as well.

Parents and teachers form a partnership early in a child's life, and with some work from all stakeholders, the students graduate with a promising future.

The partnership must work.

As our governor continues to fail to deliver the promise of a "robust economy" and to do the job in which his was elected, please remember that the partnership is old, strong and has worked for over a century.

It keeps working in spite of our last governors; two, who can be called ex-convicts.

Governor Rauner is going blame the teachers for the economic problems of this state. He wants to deliver a "robust economy" on the backs of the people who are dedicated to serving the parents of their communities. Teaching is an honorable profession.

The last four elected leaders of this state have not been able to figure out how to fix this state.

This governor, millionaire, is the latest of a long list of failed leaders who is just now finding out he is in way over his head. His millions and his plan are to assassinate a partnership that existed and worked for over a century.
