Pritzker critical of Chicago’s plan to handle reduced shelter space for migrants – WGNTV (Chicago)

Gov. JB Pritzker said, “We do not have enough shelters as it is in the city of Chicago. The city has not told the state where they would like us to put our resources to build new shelters and we need to make sure that we’re not ending shelter capacity as the city is now planning to do at the end of winter.” A city spokesperson replied, "There are 1,300 municipalities in the State of Illinois, of which Chicago is one. The State has the authority to fund, stand up and operate a shelter in any one of those municipalities at any time that it chooses, including the City of Chicago."

All Pritzker is worried about is his DNC he would otherwise not give a damn.

Pritzker has a couple of mansions in Chicago (I assume with toilets now) why does in not open at least one of them as a migrant shelter. He can afford to feed and house them.

Brandon has finally showed some spine standing up to JB’s money. He might be the first Democrat politician in all of IL to stand up to him and say “No More Shelters”. Good for him. Brandon will get credit where credit it due. No other Democrat politician dare whisper a negative word about JB, but Brandon is saying it out loud.
