Gov. Pritzker is hiding behind CNBC's business ranking for Illinois (13th). The media company’s findings run in stark contrast with the reality Illinoisans and businesses live under day in and day out. Like the nation's: Highest property taxes Worst credit rating

There’s a new Chicago pension sweetener bill on Gov. Pritzker's desk that, if he signs it, could trigger copycat demands. And that could lead to a crippling $100B-plus in new costs for taxpayers. It’s up to Mr. Pritzker either to veto or to own this pension malpractice.
