What is it with Democrats and their absolute obsession with making life easier for criminals?
In Illinois, Governor J.B. Pritzker has just signed what they are calling the ‘Clean Slate’ act, which seals the records of non-violent offenders. What this does is make it more difficult for potential employers, landlords, and just regular people to know if a person they are dealing with has a criminal past.
This is the same governor who has vowed to arrest and prosecute ICE agents.

Governor Pritzker signs Clean Slate Act
Illinois is giving residents an opportunity to clear their criminal records.
The Governor JB Pritzker signed the Clean Slate Act on Friday.
It will help an estimated 2.2 million Illinois residents get their records automatically sealed. Illinois becomes the 13th state to create an automatic records relief process for individuals with non-violent criminal convictions.
“The Clean Slate Act passed with bipartisan support and with my signature will offer the opportunity for Illinois to create an automatic process to seal the criminal records of those convicted of nonviolent crimes,” Pritzker said.
The governor said this act is “opening up opportunities for those reentering society to live productive, healthy, and stable lives.”
