CAPITOL FAX
— Pritzker responds to cancellation
https://capitolfax.com/2017/06/19/rauner-slammed-over-ahca-silence/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The governor has canceled his appearance tonight… Gov. Bruce Rauner had been set to be there and, in fact, was billed as the star of the evening. But he’s now canceled. Rauner’s office says it’s because of the special legislative session on the budget that begins the day after tomorrow, but perhaps he also doesn’t want to be too closely associated with some of the health care and other votes coming down in Washington.)
