Gov. JB Pritzker praised Illinois’ first bond-rating upgrade in more than 20 years Tuesday as recognition for his administration’s fiscal prudence and for what he described as a team effort with other Democratic leaders in state government.
“Make no mistake, despite all the challenges of the last year, after eight credit downgrades our state suffered under my predecessor, I say with full certainty Illinois’ fiscal condition is headed in the right direction for the first time in the 21st Century,” Pritzker said at a Statehouse news conference.
“We are truly forging a new path for our great state,” the governor said.
