Statehouse Insider: Magazine ranks Pritzker best of the new governors
Governing Magazine, a monthly publication based in Washington, D.C., has some more than kind words for Gov. J.B. PRITZKER.
The magazine rated 20 governors who were first elected in 2018, grouping them into three categories — those who are thriving, those who are surviving and those who are struggling. Within each of those categories, the magazine ranked the governors in them.
Pritzker was placed in the thriving category and finished first among the 11 governors in that category. The magazine said Pritzker “has been able to make the most of his party’s solid majorities in the legislature” while also working with the GOP.
It said Pritzker’s legislative achievements showed up in progress toward restoring some fiscal stability and “a shift to the left in social issues.” It gave Pritzker credit for the capital plan and the means to pay for it, bringing the graduated income tax issue to the 2020 ballot and raising the minimum wage.
