Sen. Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) on Friday reacted to news of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto of funding for Illinois’ Monetary Award Program, which provides tuition assistance for college low- and middle-income students:

“Today, Gov. Rauner turned his back on thousands of Illinois college students who were counting on him to fulfill the promise he made to them to provide tuition assistance. The governor’s disregard for higher education apparently knows no limits,” Harmon said.

The legislation is Senate Bill 2043.
