My dear wife has asked me to write a short post about the accomplishments of the governor of our home state, J.B. Pritzker, who is receiving a Crooks & Liars Crookie “Good Guy” Award for 2024.
Which is impossible.
You can either have a short post about J.B., or you can have a tally of his accomplishments, but not both. What he has done in terms of policy and budgeting alone would require a TL;DR that might kill the Crooks & Liars servers, and we can’t have that.
If you’re looking for him on BlueSky, he’s at @govpritzker.illinois.gov and this is his latest, “Blue”? “Sky”? “Skittle”? What are we calling these things?
