Governor JB Pritzker is signing legislation creating new political boundaries in Illinois for the next ten years.
The Governor says the district maps for the Illinois legislature and Supreme Court, reflect the diversity of the state and ensure minority representation in government.
They were drawn by Democrats, which is a big sticking point for Republicans. Senate Minor Leader Dan McConchie says the GOP has called for an independent commission, not legislators to create the new boundaries.
“More than 75-percent of the public clearly supports independent redrawing of legislative maps. Today, Governor Pritzker signed a partisan map drawn by politicians with one goal and one goal only and that is to maximize power over the people of this state,” said McConchie.
State Representative Blain Wilhour says Governor Pritzker lied in 2018 when he wanted to pretend he was an outsider and independent from the gold oil boil political machine. He reports there is no new day, no transparency, and no respect for the taxpayers and citizens of our state.
Asked if they plan to challenge the maps, Republicans say they will review their options over the weekend.
