Pritzker doubles down with $827 million of taxpayer money for expansion by troubled electric vehicle maker, Rivian – Wirepoints
At $1.5 million per job, the new incentive package from the state is at least 15 times the norm. For this much money, the state could have just handed out a million bucks to 827 people, instead of creating 550 jobs.
Now there’s a law in need of change. Campaign donors paying for the defense of the crooked alderman lawyer they knowingly hired specifically for who he was to reduce their taxes also pay for his defense. And elected officials are still allowed to have tax reduction law practices. Another Illinois and city racket the legislature and city happily permit.
