We talked to a state rep and he said Quinn went around telling some state universities that they should front the MAP grants to students and promised they would receive their money from the state. Is he crazy? They haven't even paid the last ones yet. I also heard veteran's education benefits may be halted which affects my sons and all veterans and families of Illinois. It will be an interesting year to say the least. I told my younger son not to worry we will find the money one way or the other.

Barb, I hope they aren't serious because a month without pay would affect so many, not to mention summer classes. Some teachers rely on year round pay and that will hurt many financially.
