Unsealed records allege Pritzker oversaw fraudulent workers comp payments to former campaign worker – Center Square

The lawsuit claims, “However, (Jenny) Thornley did not make this claim to the Merit Board, which employed her. Instead, leveraging her relationship with the Pritzkers, Thornley made the claim directly to the Governor’s General Counsel, [Anne] Spillane. And Spillane accepted that claim and processed it, even though the claim falsely listed Thornley’s employer as the Governor’s Office rather than the Merit Board."
