State legislators, led by a top legislative leader, are raising questions about Gov. Rod Blagojevich's new education plan that could mean trouble for a keystone of the governor's re-election bid. House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, sent a letter to fellow legislators and the governor earlier this week with a dozen questions he has about Blagojevich's proposal to privatize the state lottery and pump $10 billion into education.
