SPRINGFIELD – In case the governor’s listening, in case he’s not aware, Illinois Republicans have a message for him: please veto the maps.
Standing outside Gov. JB Pritzker’s office Saturday, GOP House and Senate members urged a veto – adding plenty of reminders that Pritzker promised to veto a partisan, politician-drawn map.
“The maps are done,” said House Minority Leader Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs) “They’re on their way to his desk. Will the governor live up to the commitment he made in 2018 – an issue that is not just a small issue, an issue which, I think it was 600,000 Illinoisans signed a petition to say, let’s put (the independent redistricting question) to the voters.
“He can’t hide.”
