speaker, this only happens in illinois. so what does this mean for the 10th district of illinois? in 2014, consolidated school district 21 had to send over $141,000 to the state to cover past pension obligations. that is 35% of the $400,000 of total federal dollars that came to wheeling that wheeling spent on teachers. if wheeling had only had to pay the current pension costs, the current pension obligation, it would have had to have contributed $32,000. that means that wheeling was forced to divert over $100,000 to the pension system to cover past pension obligations at the expense of teachers in the classroom. at $40,000 per year, this would have enabled them to hire an additional 2 1/2 teachers that could have been educating our children, reducing classroom sizes and making each of our students receive the individual attention that they need to succeed. in waukegan, illinois, this problem is even worse. waukegan spent $2.6 million in federal education dollars on teachers and was forced to divert over $900,000 annually to the state to cover past pension obligations. if the dolle

the attorney general in illinois says daily fantasy sports betting is illegal gambling. the feds have allowed online gambling, but have left it to the states to regulate. the issue came to the forefront when an employee at fan duel said he was using the inside information he got to bet and win big at draft kings. so --- state regulators started taking a closer look. nevada officials have banned fantasy sports until they get more information. the idea here is to bet on specific players --- and you get points depending on how the players perform in the games --- your players do well --- you win money -- (i told you to take jordan reed of the redskins last night --- didn't i?) an attorney for draftkings said he will quickly seek court action to allow fantasy sports to continue in illinois. ---- state legislators may also get involved in this there is an answer here if the fantasy sports folks want to do good at regulating gambling --- we've got a little bit of experience at doing this over the years . during the off season the folks at draft kings and fan duel may want to c
