Ed funding questions
The dean of the University of Illinois' highly rated Gies School of Business told me, "Unfortunately, the state of Illinois has sadly decided that higher education is not a priority.

The Illinois Lottery announced a record $731 million contribution to the state of Illinois' Common School Fund for Fiscal Year 2019. Why is it that in Michigan that total was $1.7 billion. See a discrepancy here?
