Stadelman reacts to bipartisan funding agreement for Rock Valley College

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Steve Stadelman (D-Rockford) released the statement below after the Illinois Senate passed Senate Bill 2059, which provides funding for MAP grants, community colleges and state universities.

“This proposal is a meaningful start at a compromise budget. It is not perfect, but it allows universities and community colleges like Rock Valley College to keep their doors open while the governor and legislative leaders continue to work toward an agreement.”
