McCormick center triage during COVID ring a bell? How many millions wasted there for a facility that wasn’t used. Millions of wasted taxpayer dollars for Lion electric in Joliet. Millions on foreign invaders, while the roads are shit and bridges around will county are out of commission for months and one for 2 years. Pritzger sure loves to spend our money wisely

When one is a trust fund moron with the business acumen of a five year old, 1.3M for nothing is a good deal.
