JB Pritzker Statement on Bruce Rauner's Amendatory Veto of the No Salary History Bill

Statement

Date: Sept. 21, 2018
Location: Chicago, IL
Issues: Women Elections

JB Pritzker issued the following statement on Bruce Rauner's amendatory veto of the No Salary History Bill:

"It is long past time women receive equal pay for equal work, but in 2018, Illinois has a governor who disagrees with that basic statement of equality," said JB Pritzker. "By amendatory vetoing this critical piece of legislation that would help fight wage inequality in this state, Rauner has yet again proven he has no interest in standing with Illinois women. We must be steadfast in our advocacy for gender equality, not play politics with basic rights. I urge the Illinois House and Senate to move our state forward and override Bruce Rauner's shameful veto."
