After four days of civil unrest in Chicago and its suburbs, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle on Tuesday turned to religious and community leaders to urge protesters to channel anger over the death of George Floyd toward efforts for criminal justice reform and economic development in minority communities.
Whats very important to me is that we establish an agenda an agenda thats led, in part, by the very peaceful protesters that are out on the streets, that were there protesting last night, the night before and the night before, the folks who were there with legitimate grievance, Pritzker said.
Earlier this year, Pritzker unveiled a criminal justice reform agenda including an eventual end to cash bail that he hoped to begin advancing in the General Assemblys spring legislative session before it was subsumed by the coronavirus pandemic. Preckwinkle has been a proponent of similar efforts at the county level.

How did the Pritz and the Preck get religious all of a sudden? They never were before.
But if they do that, the current roll out of the Biden campaign festivities will have to stop.
They would, but they’re not allowed to assemble at church.
LOL! Their constituents wouldn't know anything about "economic development" unless it came in the form of EBT card.
Further proof neither one of these losers can govern a student council
Too stupid to realize this has nothing to do with that guy who got killed or criminal justice reform.
“Don’t look at what WE did - Look over THERE!”
Amazing, isn’t it? The reality is:
*** DEMOCRATS FAIL ***
In fact, they do not even try. They never cared. Yet the mindless RAT voters keep voting them in. Ditto every city they destroy. And to follow, it is not the job of religious leaders to run the city. FIRE THE MAYOR, FIRE THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE....now repeat for EVERY STATE they have ruined.
Parlay the death of a drug addict life long criminal at the hands of a bad rogue cop to push an agenda of unicorns fairy dust and lollipops
The drug and prostitution businesses do follow general economic laws, even if they don't follow other laws.
A Christian Democrat is an oxymoron. . .but there are several of them in the churches. Go figure.
Read somewhere that the “Jabba, The Hut” governor was tied to the company supplying the bricks in the strategic locations for the rioters. Maybe someone ought to investigate that instead of harassing a handful of people trying to have church.
I stand corrected. Thanks.
It also doesn’t help when they loot and burn businesses in the black neighborhoods.
Preckwinkle? Is that real?
Mayor Groot banned church services. Governor Creosote backed her up.
L
what criminal justice reform do they want.

On issue after issue, Preckwinkle presented Obama as someone who thrived in the world of Chicago politics. She suggested that Obama joined Jeremiah Wrights Trinity United Church of Christ for political reasons. Its a church that would provide you with lots of social connections and prominent parishioners, she said. Its a good place for a politician to be a member.
