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.

Even the discussion around the ‘ending cash bail’ is not entirely accurate. Most people agree that holding petty criminals and homeless people in jail because they can’t come up with $500 is a waste of resources. But the bill goes beyond just petty criminals and applies this logic to habitual and recidivist criminals. The carjacker’s pretrial conditions are the same as the panhandlers. That’s insanity.
