2 - Get money into the state budget to support all of this.

Pritzker is absolutely responsible for gathering the funding and bringing the Quantum Campus to Illinois. But if you remember when that was happening, there were
two sites under consideration, one in Lockport near Argonne and South Works.
Johnson should get a little credit for closing them on the South Works site. Your comment helps prove the point that even when he has a win, him and his office are completely incapable of properly communicating it to citizens.
