“It’s an appalling way to conduct political discourse — and in front of teachers, no less,” Glennon said, adding that Pritzker’s justification that “all limits are off” with Trump is emblematic of a broader disregard for honesty and accountability in Illinois politics. The energy bill, he noted, will primarily benefit politically connected companies like Gotion, the Chinese-owned firm building a heavily subsidized battery plant in Illinois. Glennon warned that the legislation effectively guarantees further taxpayer exposure with “no caps” on future costs. “You’re adding batteries to a broken system and pretending that will fix it,” he said.
