CPS's Claypool: Gov. Rauner, with funding veto, "has decided to hold 400k school children hostage to his political agenda." pic.twitter.com/DqXc9Y3MmL — Eric Horng (@EricHorngABC7) December 1, 2016

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WLS) -- The state budget crisis bubbled over in Springfield Thursday as the governor vetoed funding of the Chicago teacher pension fund.Then a short time later, the Democratic majority in the State Senate voted to override the governor's veto. A vote has not yet taken place in the State House, which has adjourned until January 9. To override the veto before then, Speaker Mike Madigan would have to call a special session.It was a stunning setback for Chicago Public School officials, who had thought for months their budget crisis had been resolved for this year.As Senate President John Cullerton left the mid-morning leaders' meeting in Governor Bruce Rauner's office, he insisted there had no deal to link the CPS grant to a larger pension reform agreement."We haven't talked about putting two things together at this point in time," Cullerton said.Minutes after the session, the governor vetoed the $215 million appropriation writing, "Breaking our agreement undermines our effort to end the budget impasse and enact reforms with bipartisan support.""It was shocking, $215 million gone from our schools," said State Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago).Not getting the money to help pay the cost of teacher pensions will leave the CPS budget approved last summer with a $215 million shortfall, endangering teacher job and district programs during the current academic year.At a news conference Thursday afternoon, CPS CEO Forrest Claypool said Rauner acted, "impulsively and recklessly" and reneged on his promise to Chicago students, parents and teachers. Claypool said Chicago schoolchildren are," Not pawns in Governor Rauner's cynical political game.""Governor Rauner's actions threaten the progress of nearly 400,000 innocent children," Claypool said.Claypool said that CPS would continue to fight the veto on multiple fronts.Mayor Rahm Emanuel who is attending a conference on climate change in Mexico, released a statement Thursday calling Rauner's veto, "reckless and irresponsible.""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," Emanuel said.After Cullerton's Senate overrode Rauner, House Democrats face a more difficult task. Republicans like northwest suburban Cary's David McSweeney vowed to support the governor, calling money for CPS without pension reform "a bailout.""If you just give the city of Chicago, CPS, $215 million, with no pension reform, you don't solve any problems," McSweeney said.Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan is trying to round up 71 votes in order override the governor's veto.The Chicago Teachers Union released a statement saying that it was not surprised Rauner vetoed the bill."This was his plan all along. His stopgap budget was nothing but political cover in an election year, and he refuses to pass a balanced, long-term budget or seek additional revenue for Illinois because the state legislature will not agree to his plans to destroy collective bargaining and rescind retirement security," CTU said.
