AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Pritzker and 2028: Gov. J.B. Pritzker campaigned in South Carolina, urging Democrats to be less “dainty” in confronting Republicans as he seeks a third term in Illinois and draws 2028 attention. Disaster Aid: The Trump administration again denied Illinois’ request for federal help with summer storm damage, drawing sharp criticism from Pritzker. County Budget: Cook County is addressing a $550 million shortfall with a plan that avoids tax increases and layoffs. Election Oversight: A congressional panel is demanding answers from Champaign County over ballot errors and a voting suspension, adding pressure for greater election oversight ahead of the midterms. Chicago Governance: A City Council committee delayed a vote on the Divvy-Lyft contract but approved expanding camera enforcement.
