Reeder: Children in Ill. need educational choices

SPRINGFIELD – A while back, I showed up at the post office a half-hour before closing time and got in line to mail a package.

An officious man came up to me, pointed at the clerks working behind the counter and said, “If you are still in line at 5:30 p.m. you’ll have to leave – because I’m not going to pay those people overtime.”

So, I left the post office and drove across town to FedEx.
