J.B. Pritzker: It Is Going to Be Hard to Deliver if Democratic Socialists Promise Free Rent

EXCERPT:

PRITZKER: “And the truth is that these are folks, like I said, who are talking about — listen, it is going to be hard to deliver on some things when you‘re saying, 'I‘m going to offer free.' I know people want to ban rent, for example, and I‘d love it if we could offer some people free rent that don‘t have free rent now, but there is also the practical reality of we‘ve got to pay the bills and make sure that we‘re balancing budgets and so on. I say all that, but you know what? When you‘re talking about it and then doing the things like making electric bills lower or, like, lowering homeowners insurance or health insurance or auto insurance rates, like we‘re doing in the state of Illinois, I think it does really matter and voters show up for you when you do."
