Doing the Math

~Doing the Math with Governor Pritzker in Illinois ~

   
      Spending $324 million to get elected and reelected 
        May not be a crime
      But when $331 million is the state's mental health budget
        Let's hope it's not a paradigm  

      For a state that shrieks, 'We're underfunded!'
        Look at what its 'Number One Son' did



      _______________________________________________
      Gov. Pritzker spent over $171 million to get elected in 2018
      and over $152 million this year to get reelected... Both he 
      and the voters lament the underfunding of mental services
      in the state.  Hmmmm. ... Do the math.
