State Senator Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet) released the following statement after Governor JB Pritzker signed the partisan legislative maps:
“Today JB Pritzker has joined a long line of Illinois politicians who have broken their promises to the people of Illinois. Unfortunately it’s what we’ve come to expect from Chicago democrats. In high school civics we are taught the importance of counting every citizen to guarantee that one person equals one vote, so that we are all treated equally. By failing to use the actual census data, the Governor demonstrated an unbelievable contempt for the people of Illinois. He talks a lot about equity, but when it comes to something as fundamental as access to the ballot, he has shown that he could care less.”
