Gov. JB Pritzker and his Republican challenger, Illinois state Sen. Darren Bailey, held their second and final debate on Wednesday, again trading barbs, and each calling the other an"extremist."
When discussing state funding for education, Republican challenger Darren Bailey claimed Chicago Public Schools spends $29,000 per student, as he blasted the district for providing a bad education for its kids. We searched for Illinois at #1 on a U.S. News list, and couldn't find it. Illinois was ranked 6th overall on the U.S. News & World Report ranking of best states for primary education, but Pritzker said Illinois was #1 among the most populous states, and based on that arbitrary disclaimer, it's factually true. But you will not find Illinois ranked #1 on any published U.S. News list."Our children are not learning to read and write.
Turning to taxes, Pritzker defended his efforts to help fight crime, pointing to his budget plan to increase funding for the Illinois State Police by $18.6 million.
