Illinois has terrible politics but genuinely surprised by Pritzker.
Isn’t Jay Inslee the governor of Washington a billionaire and okay-ish by US ghoul standards?
I was almost entirely sure this wasn’t true and a cursory search indicates that his “net worth” is estimated at 7 million. This is up from like 300k prior to assuming the governorship in 2013, so there is room to complain (and it illustrates the core problem), but it’s still good to be within the realm of reasonable approximation
edit: To some extent it’s a moot point because the position fulfills many of the same awful drives that being a billionaire does, but I think that it’s reasonable to recognize that this wasn’t purely class warfare, which is probably the reason he is “okay-ish”
