Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Tuesday he would consider withholding federal pass-through funds to counties ignoring his stay-at-home order and said it “would be best” for the General Assembly to meet before the end of May to take up key state business.

When asked in his daily COVID-19 briefing via videoconference Tuesday if the state would consider withholding federal aid to counties reopening early, Pritzker said, “we would consider that.”

Now it’s turned into vindictiveness. Real leaders don’t threaten when people don’t agree with them.

So he wants to withhold funds from counties that open.

How does he feel about the Feds withholding funds from states that remain locked down?

Gov. Pitz proves that being rich is not about how smart said person is.

It would also be interesting if businesses in these counties didn’t turn over the sales tax to the state.

Do you recall the “Recall” election in California? Illinois is certainly deserving of that kind of honor. This idiocy must end!

Gov McStompyfoot

A big fat stomp and he fractured his fumer?

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has broken his leg, and his office says he doesn’t know how it happened.
https://will.illinois.edu/news/story/gov-pritzker-suffers-broken-leg

The administration says the governor has a “hairline fracture to his left femur” — commonly known as the thigh bone.
The femur, or thigh bone, is the longest, heaviest, and strongest bone in the entire human body. All of the body’s weight is supported by the femurs during many activities, such as running, jumping, walking, and standing.

Fatso has a bathroom attendant that wipes him; now using a six-foot stick?

When they do. The governor threatened to withhold funding. He didn’t specify Covid funding.

Time for this fat, rich, leftist smuck to have a heart attack or “Bat Scratch Fever”. He’s crazy but that is why Dems elected him. They love “crazy” commies and rich white guys.

“Gov. Pitz proves that being rich is not about how smart said person is.”

He didn’t earn a penny of his fortune, as it is all inherited wealth. He is a billionaire trust fund baby (the Hyatt hotel chain fortune).

Is Pritzker even in Illinois?

And if his family is still in FL, are IL taxpayers paying for the security for the gov’s family members who evaded quarantibe?
