Illinois State Senator James Meeks wants to turn Chicago baseball fever into school funding reform.

Senator Meeks says the education issue needs the biggest possible audience.

MEEKS: The Cubs playoff game, I plan to have about 6,000 kids wrap themselves around Wrigley Field and bring more attention to the disparity in school funding.

The Cubs haven’t actually clinched a playoff spot. That could happen later today. If they do, Meeks says he’s sure some legislators would be watching the playoffs.

Earlier this month, Meeks organized a three day school boycott to bring attention to education funding. And last week Meeks pressured business leaders about the issue at an event touting Chicago’s Olympic bid. Meeks wouldn’t give anymore details about the planned protest at Wrigley Field. A Cubs spokesperson did not return requests for comment.
