Illinois Policy Institute finds that education pension spending favors wealthy, suburban schools

ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE

State education funding is designed to ensure a base amount of money is available to every student in Illinois. To that end, the state strives to send more money to poor districts and less money to districts with a healthy property tax base. But a bird’s eye view of Illinois education spending reveals that the state’s intention of sending dollars to poorer districts is blunted by the state’s obligation to pay local teachers’ pensions.

Freedom Foundation of Minnesota Uncovers Funding to Stop the Keystone Pipeline

FREEDOM FOUNDATION OF MINNESOTA

On Monday, the Freedom Foundation of Minnesota released an Accountability Alert that showed three Minnesota environmental non-profit advocacy groups received nearly half a million dollars in out-of-state funding to oppose the Keystone oil pipeline project. The funding, provided by a well-known liberal California foundation, is surprising, since Keystone’s proposed route does not include Minnesota.
