ZEIGLER- (Brandon Merano, WSIL-TV, please click to read the full story and accompanying video. Here is an excerpt) After making payroll by the narrowest of margins last week, because of the Illinois budget mess, taxpayers gather at Zeigler-Royalton High school to get some very bad news. Illinois currently owes the school district a quarter of a million dollars, and it’s rainy-day fund has dried up. The meeting was supposed to be informational, instead it got heated, with some teachers threatening to not work if they don’t get paid on time. And after Monday’s meeting, it looks like teacher’s checks could get delayed again, when spring break starts next month.
