Quote:In the race for Illinois governor, 10 staff members are suing J.B. Pritzker's campaign for racial discrimination and harassment.

In the lawsuit announced Tuesday night, the staff members claim they were hired for specific race-related tasks such as "rounding up 40 black guys" and to fill a race quota.

They said they were not offered meaningful opportunities for advancement, and received less favorable treatment than staff members who are white.

An Illinois governor candidate acting illegally or unethically? I thought that was a job requirement.

For those who don't know, the Chicago-based Pritzker family founded Hyatt hotels a few generations back. They're one of the wealthiest families in America.

Anthony Pritzker $3.1 billion
J.B. Pritzker $3.4 billion - running for Illinois governor
John Pritzker $2.2 billion
Thomas Pritzker $3.1 billion
Penny Pritzker $2.5 billion
Daniel Pritzker $2.2 billion
Jennifer N. Pritzker $1.78 billion
Jean (Gigi) Pritzker $2.5 billion
Karen Pritzker $4.3 billion
Linda Pritzker $1.85 billion
Nicholas J. Pritzker $1.48 billion

Total: 29 billion

Their name is on a million things around here from various donations.

They just need to rip off the band-aid and send a nuke to Springfield, it'd make state politics less toxic.

It pretty much is.

With the state of Illinois politics, it's not only a job requirement, but seen as a badge of honor.
