Governor JB Pritzker

Gov. J.B. Pritzker spent his first full day in office taking steps aimed at setting himself apart from his predecessor.

It was a good day to be a Democrat in Illinois as Gov. J.B. Pritzker was sworn in on Monday along with a diverse group of statewide office holders.

Despite having a Democratic majority in state politics, recently sworn in Gov. JB Pritzker used words of inclusion and bipartisanship in his first public address.

Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker takes office next week on the heels of the most decisive election victory in a generation. And he’ll be working to pass his agenda through the biggest Democratic majorities in the General Assembly since the 1960s.

That raises a question: What precisely does that agenda consist of? 

The House Executive Committee has approved a plan pushed by the incoming governor to increase salaries he can offer his cabinet.

Illinois Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker is making legalizing marijuana one of his top priorities.
