Letter: Who's really the extremist in governor's race?

Posted September 19, 2022 1:00 am

In June 2019, Gov. Pritzker signed the Keeping Familes Together Act, which prohibits law enforcement from coordinating with Immigrants and Customs Enforcement (ICE), making Illinois a sanctuary state.

Gov. Pritzker signed the Safe-T-Act which prohibits money bail for aggravated batteries, robberies, burglaries, hate crimes, drug-induced homicides and other crimes.

Gov. Pritzker signed these bills:

• SB 818 requires sex ed in kindergarten to include teaching masturbation and LGBTQ definitions.

• HB 370 repealed Parental Notification of Abortion Law so that an underage girl can get an abortion without her parent's knowledge.

• SB 828 gives incarcerated felons voting rights.

• HB 3447 - felony reduction to misdemeanor for possession of pills or grams, including certain amounts of ecstasy, heroin, fentanyl, meth, morphine and cocaine.

• HB 3195 creates all-gender multiple occupancy public bathrooms.

And Darren Bailey is an extremist?
