In the Wall Street Journal, William McGurn has a column focusing on one of the 23 Republicans in the Illinois state assembly who killed a school voucher bill that had passed the state senate: "Mr. Eddy sure has his objections down pat, here raising constitutional concerns, there talking about inconclusive studies, here again saying vouchers would not help all the Chicago schoolchildren. One fact not open to debate is this: According to the Illinois State Board of Elections, since 2002 Mr. Eddy has accepted more than $76,000 in campaign contributions from the Illinois Education Association, the Illinois Federation of Teachers, and the Chicago Teachers Union."
