FILE - In this April 8, 2014 file photo, Illinois Sen. Matt Murphy R - Palatine, speaks at the state Capitol in Springfield Ill. Most of Illinois’ 860 school districts would see severe cuts in funding if the state’s temporary tax increase is rolled back as scheduled, according to a document circulated this week as part of Illinois Democrats’ campaign to preserve the tax hike and push to update the state’s school funding formula. Sen. Murphy claims Democrats are using class warfare as a theme of their effort to get voters to the polls. “These are political spin numbers to sell a tax increase,” Murphy said. The document cites what would be a total of $450 million in general state aid cuts to schools. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman, File)
