Pritzker plays role of Illinois' 'best chief marketing officer' in Davos twill
SPRINGFIELD -- Gov. J.B. Pritzker took the global stage this week at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
The Climate and Equitable Jobs Act also set a goal of having one million electric vehicles on Illinois roads by 2030. The state is climbing steadily toward that goal, with the number of electric vehicles registered in the state increasing from 8,255 to 57,311 over the past five years. "It's not like Illinois is doing something that is deleterious to the future of infrastructure funding that isn't already happening all across the nation," he said, without identifying other potential revenue sources.
"I wanted to make sure they know that I'm at their service if there are things that I can do to enhance their operations," Pritzker said."They have many other divisions…and so bringing more of the rest of their company to Illinois is an opportunity I'd like to take advantage of." The governor has also been touting two laws he signed last week: a ban on the state's assault weapons and a measure protecting abortion providers and out-of-state patients, as well as gender-affirming care.
