A political reform advocacy group says it has grave concerns about the amount of big money in Illinois elections.
Alisa Kaplan, policy director for Reform For Illinois, said Illinois’ gubernatorial candidates have raised $284.5 million.
“I use the term raise loosely because much of the money comes from the pockets of Gov. [Bruce] Rauner and J.B. Pritzker,” Kaplan said.
