Senator Dave Luechtefeld spoke with Tom Miller this morning about the spending bill sent by Senate Democrats for higher education and social services, among other programs. The bill awaits a decision by the Governor, but many argue that the bill proposes "empty promises".

Tom Miller sits with Dr. Steve O' Keefe, Director of College Relations at John A. Logan college and talks about the Illinois budget and the impending cuts to the community college.
