TWEETS OF NOTE
(@GrageDustin) David Crowley was such a weak candidate that he dropped out of the race once before. Wisconsin Democrats moved heaven and earth just to barely get him over the finish line. Underestimate Tom Tiffany at your own peril. He’s going to win. Tweet.
(@mattrobinson) JB Pritzker is playing blame games while Indiana eats Illinois’ lunch. Pritzker claims the Bears “haven't offered details,” but CEO Kevin Warren confirmed Illinois hasn't put a single thing in writing. While Pritzker drags his feet, Indiana lawmakers actively passed legislation to lure the team to Hammond. Pritzker’s brutal anti-business climate is driving a historic Illinois institution straight out of the state. Tweet.
