Fuck JB Prickster. He does stuff “for the people” in Chicago, aka votes, then reverses course. On many things beneficial. Let’s destroy the outer grid with data centers around rural places cuz fuck them, and gives then incentives to stay here cheaply vs make money for the people of the state to, idk, say lower taxes or something.
His gas and grocery tax pause was for voting season. His ban on “assault” weapons was useless since they all come from out of state anyway. He’s VERY soft on crime, implementing cashless bail for many offenses. And his Private Equity is HEAVILY invested in many AI companies, so he going to profit off of their coming to IL anyway…
He’s not for the people, he’s for the likes to manipulate for his own gains…
For those not from Illinois, there is a very loud (also small) contingent from outside of Chicago who like to complaint that the entire state isn’t Chicago. They are usually republican and are mostly subsidized by the people who live in chicago paying taxes. They are deeply republican, and there is nothing that he or anyone else could do to make them happy. (Biggest tip off here is that he resorts to name calling and fox news talking points)
Is Pritzker perfect, no. But on the politician scale, he’s one of the better ones…
Illinois is 29th in violent crime and 21st in property crime by state. Crime rates are going down, both in Illinois and nationally. Source. White, rural people are terrified of what their tv tells them about minorities and cities, facts and statistics be damned. One or two anecdotes will always overshadow reality for these kinds of people.
Dude, holy shit, smh. If crime is down nationally then its nothing to do with pritzker lol. Not everyone outside the city is “rural” nor afraid of minorities, you’re assuming an awful lot based on what your TV tells you. Jokes on you, I don’t watch any TV, news, media, etc. You get you’re info probably from some FB group eco chamber about how “everyone else not Democratic” is ruining the country. News flash, both are equally corrupt by the ultra wealthy. If dems were actually trying, the fed minimum wage would’ve gone up in one of 12 out of the last 18 years, or anything else bitched about. So, stereotype and generalize all you like, it won’t get you anywhere.

I agree with much of what you post here, but not this.
Even if he’s accomplishing making it inconvenient for criminals, gun nuts, and wannabe mass shooters, that’s a good thing. Legislation on guns in this country is never going to be perfectly effective because of the Federal Government, but making things harder on the local level is 100% a good thing.

How is cashless bail soft on crime?
Whoops, looks like you put a good thing in you list of bad things.
Fuck the prison industrial system, and the poor tax that is bail.

First off, NOT Republican, nor do I watch fox news. Second, Illinois has some of the highest taxes especially property (https://www.illinoispolicy.org/no-2-no-more-illinois-property-taxes-rank-highest-in-u-s/) and the entire state is not subsidized by the city.
Yeah “soft on crime” was cringe af.

ah yes, the people with MAGA and “pritzker sucks” signs littering their lawns along with staples like
