This news is hard to come by because most of the sources are accusatory without giving much in the way of data. The language is dubious at best, some saying that Pritzker OWNS the company, others saying that he is a stakeholder.
Were these companies in his investment portfolio for long periods of time? Or did he conveniently double down and invest quickly?
It seems like the two sources of his fortune, besides inheritance are his family ownership in the Hyatt Hotel Chain and in investments.
I would like to know more actually.... before I hop in the back of Wally's truck (after having to help him gas it up) and descend upon the capital in Springfield with pitchforks sans masks demanding Pritzker's hide.
JB is no saint either. He's the richest person to hold elected office.
I do give him credit for backing off and making changes on the fly. He has at least demonstrated that he's content on losing a vote over losing a life. I don't have that same feeling with the occupant of the executive branch in Washington.
When you ban books before you ban guns, you've admitted that you're more afraid of children learning than you are of children dying.
