CHICAGO — Governor Bruce Rauner appears to be abandoning his plan for a grand bargain on the state budget and is offering to back a Chicago school funding measure separately.

Days after Rauner reportedly convinced some state senators to vote against the comprehensive budget bill, he says he’d sign the school funding bill he vetoed last year if it came to him with a teachers’ pension reform plan.

Rauner’s suggestion Monday that Chicago use TIF funds for schools was upstaged when Chance the Rapper donated $1 million to support Arts programming and issued a call-to-action for businesses to support improved school funding.
