Pritzker has said he will sign the bill immediately. Never been prouder to be an Illinoian.
It's like night and day.
It's like night and day.

-Legalized Pot
-Progressive Tax on the rich
and now this.
And it doesn't stop there, he wants to get a public option here for Illinoisians and pass more green energy bills.

Yeah, the GOP pretty much California'd themselves in Illinois backing Trump and having Rauner at the top. Now they have to double down on a toxic mix of rural conservatism and boring rich blowhards.That blue wave has been aces. It's the first time in my life living here that I'm confident in the current leadership.
Yep, for the first time like void I actually think we have a great governor.
Between this, the minimum wage increase, and the Marijuana legalization, I've been pretty happy with how things have been going around here. Considering how at the federal level this country has been a dumpster fire for the last three years, It's nice that at least at the state level there has been some reason to cheer. Hopefully we can keep this up and try to at least put a good dent into the pension debt within the next decade.
If he can get the debt under control, he has the real potential to make Illinois/Chicago cool again. I'm really excited to see what he does in the next year.

Lori Lightfoot will surely try to help in that regard. It's easier said than done though of course.If they can do something about the cops there, that would be the best, but this is a good start.
I hope this behaviour spreads to Missouri, too. Lord knows they need it.
God that's awesome! Makes me a little envious, I can only look at NJ dems with disappointment.It's like night and day.

Yeah. I'm curious if these changes are making the rural Illinois population move to neighboring states.Oyyyyy... not a chance anytime soon. We're handcuffed by rural voters.

Pretty impressive job they have done already. I'm voting against that tax refereduem though I don't trust them to keep the rates proposed on it.It's like night and day.

Very much a huge issue I fear he'll be unable to make any inroads on, unfortunately.
I wouldn't have too much of an issue if we get increased blue people moving here.Yeah. I'm curious if these changes are making the rural Illinois population move to neighboring states.
It's because clearly God intended for that specific woman to be raped and forced to carry that baby!20 motherfuckers literally said abortion is not a fundamental right
I feel like we can work on the debt and maybe the pension, especially if we can pass the progressive tax initiative.Very much a huge issue I fear he'll be unable to make any inroads on, unfortunately.
But fuck yeah, Illinois! It's been a great few weeks from a legislative point of view.
Not a fan of the progressive tax though. Flat income tax was one of the few advantages IL. Hopefully it doesn't impact investment though.
The migration out of state is a multipronged issue; however that is another thing I hope Pritzker can help fix.I wonder if this will have an effect the migration of people out of the state
