FILE - In this May 10, 2016 file photo, Illinois Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, speaks during a news conference in Springfield, Ill. The Illinois Senate's "grand bargain" budget compromise comes down to three pieces of legislation for the state that hasn't had a budget since 2015. There's a $36.5 billion outline for spending in the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2017. Sen. Bill Brady, R-Bloomington suggested more than two dozen areas of savings or spending cuts and Manar says those savings would be immediate. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman File)

FILE - In this April 2, 2014 file photo, Illinois state Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, introduces an education funding reform bill at the Capitol in Springfield, Ill. School districts in the Chicago and St. Louis suburbs would see major cuts to state aid while downstate schools would see gains under a proposal that would drastically overhaul Illinois' complicated school funding formula for the first time in almost two decades. Manar said the state Board of Education's database detailing the estimated impact to the state's 860 school districts, released Wednesday, May 7, 2014, more clearly illustrates that his proposal would provide equity to rich and poor districts across Illinois.
