Billionaire Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker failed to deliver jobs promised for black workers in the emerging cannabis and green energy industries, an economic advocacy group said in a scathing report.
Pritzker – considered a potential replacement for President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket – will be hosting the Democratic National Convention on his Chicago turf in August.
“Governor Pritzker wants the DNC to celebrate his leadership of the state. However, it would be an injustice to do so without acknowledging the deteriorating state of affairs for Black communities, especially in Chicago,” said Darius Jones, senior advisor of the National Black Empowerment Action Fund.
The group’s report, called “Equity Delayed, Dreams Denied. How Pritzker Botched Illinois’ Cannabis and Clean Energy Programs,” noted that the black unemployment rate in Illinois is the second highest in the country at 9.4%, and more than double that of white residents.
It’s also more than 50% higher than the overall national black unemployment, the report said.
“The situation in Illinois cannot be blamed on national trends or factors outside the state’s control. It’s a direct result of the failed policies and neglect from the Governor, J.B. Pritkzer,” the report said.
“Governor Pritzker has repeatedly fallen short on his promises to the Black community, particularly in creating wealth and job opportunities in the Green Job and Cannabis sectors, among other areas.”
Pritzker, 59, is a considered a White House contender because of his billionaire net worth as an heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, which would ease his ability to reach voters in a short time by potentially self-funding his campaign – should Biden step aside following his debate debacle against former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee.
Pritzker approved the legalization of marijuana for sale and consumption shortly after taking office...

It is going to be fun watching the leftscum eat their own.
Just as bad.
Does he outweigh Christie?
JB Prickster?
Behold the stink of desperation.
not long ago, he listed 270 lbs. Now claims to weigh 185, accompanying picture looks 270#
Hopefully his cousin Jennifer Pritzker, who lives in Kentucky, will be a prominent member of his campaign team. The resemblance is .... striking.

One of the great tragedies of modern America is how the Democrats continue to fool the blacks. Democrats keep black folks poor, dependent, and without opportunity.
Trump had a plan. Bring industry back to America. That would have benefited poorer black people greatly. Pity the media would not allow blacks to hear what Trump had to say.
To top it off he is extremely fat.
Whatever it takes to get him out of my state, I’m for.
“Pritzker – considered a potential replacement for President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket”— considered so by Pritzker himself and no one else.
excerpt from Chicago by Carl Sandburg:
Hog Butcher for the World,
Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the Big Shoulders …
From that to "Green jobs for Negroes". "Cannabis jobs for Negroes".
Promises not kept.
Just like with the Obozo, what this country doesn’t need is another mafia thug criminal in the WH.
DJT could run ads showing 35 of Chicago’s inner city yutes who were shot during this years MLK Jr celebrations.
It’s called self funding the campaign. JB Pritzker can do that…
