Keep in mind that Illinois has no term limitations for the Governor. Thus Prtizker is still running for what will be his third term, and I would not put it past him to have contacted someone to monkey with the helicopter, since the son Zachery was the one who would be operting it.
Why such a bizarre insinuation? (And yours isn’t the first here.)
Is it unprecedented for an amateur pilot (and a helicopter one at that) to crash?
As for Darren Bailey, you should know that Pritzker clobbered him in 2022 by over 12% and in that year, Pritzker actually funded attack ad against Bailey’s Republican primary opponent.
In other words, Pritzker has shown that he LIKES running against Bailey. With this terrible tragedy, the likelihood is that Bailey will drop out.
And gambling tables...
