Chicago, IL – After the Illinois House overrode Rauner’s veto of the No Salary History bill, JB Pritzker released the following statement:

“Illinois women deserve equal pay for equal work, but in 2017, Illinois has a governor who disagrees with that fundamental right,” said JB Pritzker. “Bruce Rauner vetoed the No Salary History bill, blocking critical legislation that would help prevent wage inequality in our state, and proving that he has no interest in standing with Illinois women. I’m grateful that the Illinois House overrode Rauner’s veto, and I urge the Senate to do the same. Now more than ever, we need leaders in Springfield who stand with Illinois women, and that’s the leader I’ll be as governor.”
