JB Pritzker are trading blame over a newly signed police and fire pension bill that could cost Chicago taxpayers $11 billion over 30 years.
An internal memo shows Johnson’s office warned Pritzker’s team about the financial impact, while Pritzker says Johnson never asked him to veto or change the bill.
Pritzker signed the bill in early August and told reporters Johnson never reached out to ask for a veto.
"The mayor never once called me or, as far as I know, any legislators to oppose that bill or to ask for any changes in that bill," Pritzker said.
