Merely a timing thing. He can use this as a campaign point and pass it later. Jumbo never saw a tax he didn’t like.

Illinois doing what it does best, discouraging new business. Data centers are the future; you cannot stop progress.

So do taxpayers get hundreds of millions of dollars in the forms of property tax reductions since we aren’t giving it all away? Or is this another slight of hand where illinois pols say one thing and do another? Where is that money going?

“Stopping data centers” will be another headline Pritzker will use in his Presidential run as everything Pritzker does is designed for Presidential run headlines.
