Federalist:
It’s a testament to the American spirit that mere months after the arrival of a new, deadly virus on our shores, we’ve taken the steps necessary to protect the vulnerable and return to our daily lives.
Having moved past the initial shock and panic due to the frightening presence of an unknown virus, we’ve learned much about SARS-CoV-2 and have accustomed ourselves to new social practices. Across the country, state governors are lifting restrictions and encouraging commerce. We’re returning to work, opening our storefronts, and sending our children to school.
Most Americans are, anyway. In Illinois, unfortunately, life hasn’t changed much since spring. Although hospitalizations and deaths in the state have remained flat since mid-June, Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker refuses to fully reopen the state. While much of the country returns to normal (more or less), he’s reimposing and heightening restrictions.
Pritzker says his restrictions are based on science. In reality, they’re political calculations based on opportunism and election-year math.
In Illinois, in addition to the momentous choice for president, voters are facing a critical question on the November ballot. It’s whether to adopt Pritzker’s signature policy proposal: a constitutional amendment that would allow Illinois lawmakers to tax state income at graduated rates, starting with a major tax hike on businesses and “the rich.”
Pritzker is also lobbying Congress for money.
pull it out of your fat a**, d-sucker
This is the stuff that led to the original Boston Tea Party.
Pritzker is scum.
They need to lockdown his fridge.
Empress Mills is doing the same in Maine.
She has admitted it too.
When she took office there was a $200 million surplus and about an $80 million rainy day fund left from LePage.
Now with her and the liberal legislature the state has spent all of it and is facing an almost $900 million shortfall.
She’s looking for $3 billion from the feds.
We have about 5 people in the entire state in the hospital due to China virus but they are keeping us mostly shut down and mandating masks.
I bet a solid nickel this greaseball’s family is at their Florida home.
– The corruption just oozes out of him.
rat d-sucker states need something to wipe with, pay for the toilet paper yourself – or change your ways
Evil Gretchen here in Mi. SHE’S ON MY LAST NERVE.

Governor Forehead does not want to relinquish her new-found power just because the State Supreme Court ruled against her.
NO
didn’t the pritzkers start the sub prime mortgage fiasco?
yeah, they did.
“The document chronicles the 2001 failure of a suburban Chicago bank after Pritzker and her family expanded subprime lending there and did pioneering work with the kind of mortgage-backed securitization that would eventually spread and help spark the worst recession since the Great Depression.”
that’s from bloomberg news, 2013. I won’t link to them.
He’s another chicago/illinois crook in a political office. Don’t they have a special room in the state penitentiary just for their governors?
I guess they don’t teach history in their schools.
sheesh
‘I don’t reward bad behavior’ My Mom said that.
So he can stuff his pockets with more tax payer money.
Pritzger is a SCHWANTZHEAD !!!!!!1
