The overwhelming amount of time that the legislature has had the revenue sharing funds turned off a democrat was governor. The suburbs have been hurt by this as well. The State calls this revenue sharing for a reason: the State has constitutionally restricted locals from having a sales tax and there is a requirement to share the receipts from the state sales tax. This has not happened, or has happened in a way that has starved local units in favor of funding state government programs. You can't say that this is a party topic, it is more of a 'me first' attitude.
