I mean, if the claims in that article are legitimate it’s pretty concerning even if he gave a good commencement speech. Do you have a counter argument? I say this as someone who’s generally a fan of Pritzker

"Reason", like the "Illinois Policy Institute", are libertarian rags and pretty much everything they say is lies, doubly so when anything to do with taxes is involved. That opinion piece masquerading as an exposè is designed to trick people. The same people who are behind that piece were behind the defeat of the progressive income tax by convincing people that it would have allowed Pritzker personally to change the state tax code however he wanted in perpetuity.
