Gov. Pritzker’s ‘ethics reform’ eliminates competitive elections and choice for voters – Wirepoints on AM 560 Chicago’s Morning Answer

Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about a new law passed by the Democratic supermajority and signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker that results in brazen election interference, keeping Republicans off ballots; about a referendum that tests the waters for a renewed progressive income tax hike; about how the Parental Notification referendum question was knocked off the ballot; and why laws like that pass so easily – there’s no opposition party to push back. We also discussed the possibility of a new sales tax on services to pay for CTA’s upcoming “fiscal cliff” and about the new gambit by Illinois unions to push for Tier 2 benefit sweeteners.

Why hasn’t a lawsuit been filed to stop this, hello Springfield Republicans, damn I forgot it’s like voicemail please leave a detailed message and we will return your call as soon as possible. I absolutely have no use for Pritzker he will fail eventually.
