finds at least 12 cases where there are potential conflicts of interest. One of Prtizker’s largest partnerships is with Centene Corporation’s subsidiary Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, which has been paid $20.6 billion for Medicaid contracts, according to Better Government Association .
“As we have said numerous times and is made clear in the documents prepared by the attorneys, Governor Pritzker’s trust is blind … Yet again the BGA seems to be suggesting that because the governor is following the law, he is doing something wrong.”
procm2 UH-OH…..not good.
Bet if you looked into every other politician you'd find the same
erichhartmann Shocking…
erichhartmann SmashTheDuopoly
No! Shocking! FatBoy is using the state to RIP us off
Most of ILL governors end up in jail...history repeating
But he's a Democrat so it's okay.
I don't believe for a minute that the supposed blind trust just happened to purchase shares of so many companies that received Illinois government contracts. We have a history in Illinois of corrupt Governors who end up in prison. I expect this one might too. Eventually.
CovidTestingScam
MaryAnnAhernNBC It shouldn't come as a surprise that someone with Pritzker 's portfolio would include companies that do business with the State. I would hardly put this news in the corruption or conspiracy category .
Don’t forget the money he made off of covid and the fed govt!
And you think this kind of behavior is something new Welcome to politics.
MaryAnnAhernNBC I thought JB was just a really good guy and wanted the best for the people of Illinois? Are you saying there’s a conflict of interest going on here?
Go get pelosi next
MaryAnnAhernNBC Self dealer. Obvi
You know the one the pritzker construction company build the fbi hq building off of Roosevelt....hmmmm no way shamoo is getting investigated. Another Typical Illinois politician....corrupt are you suprised.
How many Illinois governors have gone to jail for something. 6 I believe
Wow that's illegal But hey nothing will ever happen
lynnwa Are Illinois residents the only ones who are aware of PAY TO PLAY? Every year a few aldermen are arrested for bribes, etc.
Illinois Governor headed to prison. Imagine that.
Where the hell have you been Chicago media? Just the tip of the iceberg.
A d another governor goes to jail
Those are computers shuffling money around by the micro-second, no one except computer programmers have much control of it. They have white lists & black lists and prioritized investments in between. Now if anyone wants a lesson on algorithms & C+ ...
Corruption by a Democrat politician from Chicago, whose unofficial motto is “Where’s Mine”? Say it ain’t so.
No shit
He was a billionaire before and he’ll be a billionaire after. This is a dumb story
Really? An Illinois Democrat involved in State kickbacks and corruption? I’m shocked
Oh, shit, somebody's about to double down on woke progressive signaling.
Purplehip312 Another reason not to vote for him
IL politics!
I am shocked by this! ( sarcasm)
Disgusting. Should go to jail and the ones he gave contracts too
Uman85 Big shocker.
Didn’t Thompson go to jail for this very thing?
We’re shocked…
Good for him. If a former POTUS can leave office with thousands of classified documents, a governor can certainly benefit from state contracts. Time to make sure everyone gets the same benefits.
Making Billions while locking down his citizens. Typical politician. When will the people of Illinois wake up? So glad I left there.
What a surprise. Will the Main Street press cover this
Nooooooooo!!
It's ok, he's a Democrat.
Lock his ass up
Please tell me there is an extra large prison cell being prepped for our next governor-to-prison candidate.
Arrest that fat rat now. No wonder he passed that legislation emboldening criminals because he is one.
OfficerPorkChop Well, he tried to buy a senate seat... should this surprise anyone?
Why does nobody care about this crap? The corruption is appalling and he should be in jail.
JBPritzker I’m sure this was all just an honest mistake.
What poor reporting. Blind trust means exactly that, BLIND. JB has no say about what does or does not get invested in. Your headline doesn’t say “blind” and infers he had direct involvement. Do better.
Does he have an ownership interest in the company that removed the toilets from one of his mansions so he wouldn't have to pay taxes?
All while he declared workers ‘non-essential,’ destroyed businesses and continues to rule by Executive Order. Time for him to pack up and go.
Shocking
Grift.
Of course!
CHICAGO, NO CASH BAIL IS COMING ! VOTE PRITZKER OUT OF OFFICE !!!
Hence Darren Bailey for Governor!
If true, donut boy is as corrupt as the rest of them. What do you have to say for yourself, Slim?
Shocking NOT
Scuumbag
I wonder what he and other officials got from pushing the pandemic, making millions on the backs of the misery and suffering and depression of others around the world. They care only about money & press.
It's criminal behavior why FBI is not investigating because that how all democrats make money insiders contracts cronies
It's your first day in Illinois I see.
RessyRobin The “blind trust” thing is garbage. JBPritzker knows where his money is going. Why wouldn’t the trust manager have explicit instructions to not invest in companies doing business with IL? This is typical IL political corruption. FirePritzker
Misleading. 🙄
andreaUSA7373 ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND everyone wonders why Trust in Elected officials will never be regained
ChitownPatriot1 CRIMINALHUCKSTER
Shocking!, said only people who don’t live in Illinois…😐
