Illinois Governor Pritzker misleading the nation on National TV?

If he thinks the squeaky wheel is going to get positive attention from our POTUS, he really doesn’t know who he’s dealing with.

How is removing toilets from property remove the need to pay property taxes? I thought even vacant houses pay some tax on their property? When did the governor (probably before he became governor if this is actually correct). And, was this in a city/town or rural area. Just curious.

What’s the purpose of the Federal government providing money to each state emergency operations dapartments? During all of the Illinois governor’s press conferences where is the state of Illinois board certified epidemiologist?

Been following Watchdogs for years. My first comment: Instead of relying on either of the two government officials, I recommend that you ask hospital procurement departments, and ICU staff who connect and monitor ventilators.

Maybe if he weren’t so busy slamming Trump and the federal government and actually did something on his own…. I really get tired of him blaming the administration for all his problems.

Today, I’m not allowed practice social distancing in a like manner because the Illinois administration has all the state parks closed….for anything. Governor Priztger seems slow to reply to at least two Illinois senators who have requested opening up certain state parks. It’s hard to believe.

Looks like Pritzker’s own press briefing proves he was not honest on National TV. Kind of hard to say there would be less deaths if the feds had more ventilators when your only using 29% of those available as it is.

Gov Pritzker has presidential aspirations, he wants to be the big cheese

The economy in this state should speak very clearly about the governor. The state is broke, property taxes are among the highest in the country, businesses and residents are moving out of state, and most decisions seem to be based on Chicago. The rest of the state is considered the resource pool to support those decisions. I personally believe he is taking advantage of the people he claims to be helping. His personal agenda has knocked this state completely to the ground.

Let’s see, who do I believe. The Admiral or Gov. Pritzker. Does the Admiral work for Trump? Yep, that means he’s a liar for Trump. I BELIEVE THE GOV.

Oh come on – Chicago politicians have been corrupt since I was a kid and I’m 61 years old now. Come to think of it….so have the US Presidents!

Gov Pritzker Is probably just trying to figure out another way to raise taxes yet again to further line his/their pockets. I believe very little, if anything, Gov. Pritzker says or any Dem in Illinois. No wonder so many long time residents have left the State.

He is extremely right that there aren’t enough tests. I was very ill on 3/17. I was told that they would treat me by phone. I have lupus and turned 65 on 3/18 . I had all the symptoms but no contact with someone that had it. But they did treat me as if I had it. Three family members also got sick. I’ve never been through the temps (104.5) and chills likei did those 2 weeks!!

Stop complaining Mr. Governor and think about what Illinois needs to do so this battle of the COVID-19 right now. Political correctness can definitely wait other day. Do whatever needed right now to do your Job. The Americans already have a bad reputation of a lot of bad things please don’t make things worst. Don’t be the
Squeaky wheel. Just do what you can.
Thank you so much for listening- a resident of Illinois

Get off it. All you ever do is wine while people are dying you can only wine and accuse. I don’t hear anyone talking and complaining out the stupid Republicans in Wisconsin making people vote in the midst of a pandemic and president who rags about voting my mail, yet he mailed in his vote in 18.

I am a 67 year old conservative Republican. I am an RN who has worked full time plus overtime in nursing for 50 years. I was born and still live in my hometown in Clinton Illinois. I was fortunate enough to spend about 10 years living/working in Red states as a travel nurse and now I know why people are fleeing Illinois. I pray that people will wake up and vote the Chicago democRATS out of office because they are destroying Illinois. I am so glad to read an honest article on Pritzker. The Chicago democRATS always have been and will always be power hungry money grubbing crooked lying politicians who don’t give a damn about downstaters. I vote in every election and it just kills me that the Chicago democRATS get to rule the State. I sent Pritzker an email begging him to just TRY to work with President Trump during this crisis and Pritzker just continues to play politics, lie lie lie, like Chicago democRATS always do..

This contagion has created a marketable panic by the media, a disseminated product of information or misinformation which autonomously segments society, and funnels the sheep into their appropriate pastures. I can think of 95 reasons to question everything, even the experts, who continue to expose what could only be malpractice at best, vain attempts at relevance at worst. Jay Bob is one of said experts. Dishonesty is a growing segment of our economy, which has created a new space devoid of accountability, to work from. “Let’s think about that for am minute! Are you interested?”

Comment is: Why doesn’t someone just fix Illinois? Cannot always blame our Federal government when one is elected to manage the State first. Look at how many Illinois Governors have been jailed. IF Illinois is run so good, why are our people always leaving? It is ashame because this state has real, natural beauty and natural resources.

Also, beyond toilets, a simple google search I did about claiming residency in a income tax free state while keeping a home in Chicago, a case law Ari ticket popped up in which the Pritzker Family Trust move to Texas to avoid Illinois income taxes and was upheld despite the Pritzkers still residing in Illinois. So Gov Fat Cat gets paid from his trust fund now in Texas without paying its “fair share”.

One last comment before this exhibit is completely deceased. The United States government is not so charged to save its constituents from pandemics, natural selection, or even God; of which most of America has complacently rejected. Government is only charged with one task, making the job of President of the United States of America mostly clearly delineated by our founding documentation. Government in the United States sole responsibility is to keep us FREE. Everything else is an overreach.

Medicare patients get $9000 “extra” if diagnosed with covid 19 and $39,000 if put on a ventilator

i would also have asked, why was the state not ready with its stockpile as is the mandate. states are responsible for their own preps for disaster not the government

This fat head is pushing to promote himself…he thinks he has a future in politics! He could only be elected in a state like Illinois…corrupt and pathetic!

He needs to self isolate, I’m afraid he’s overdone it, terrorizing the state of Illinois with mask and glove shortage updates and fear blasting everyone with his models and statistics. The final straw are the secret supplies he is bringing into this country from China. He needs the boot.

While everyone is focused on his toilet seats I think of Pritzker attempting to buy the Senate seat off of Blago.

I live in Illinois and I had to file for unemployment on March 27th. It’s now April 17th and I still have not been notified if my claim was approved. All the vital phone numbers to call to check my status are either busy or filled with automated messages that tell me to call back at a later time. The gov shut down people’s jobs but wasn’t prepared to handle the number of unemployment claims.

Pritzker is a moron and those who voted him in are obviously morons. I learned there are not many intelligent people in Illinois.

Crook County should be the 51st state forget about them…kick them out of the state of IL. They are a drain on the rest of the state. Who needs the corrupt clowns of Cook County!

Unfortunately we all look like morons because the Dems have redrawn the political maps to dilute the Republican vote and it makes us all look complicit. If you want a laugh and be glad you don’t live here – take a look at the voting maps in illinos. We need a takeover of our state just to get rid of the corruption here and reform pension rights. I am not saying bail us out. The people that have abused the system by inflating their salaries by 3x before retiring should have clawback clauses for abuse. The only people that have guaranteed work around here are the government employees. There won’t be many republicans left soon – I don’t know many R’s that can stomach what is happening here. We have some good republicans but they get railroaded by the corrupt D’s. sickening.
