Last year when we were looking to verify the IDOT gun violence story out of Franklin County, WAND was also attempting to verify it.
An email produced as a result of a FOIA lawsuit we filed against IDOT indicates Governor Pritzker’s Press Secretary, Jordan Abudayyeh, was attempting to kill the story before WAND gained any traction on it.
There didn’t appear to be any indication by the Press Secretary of getting to the truth of the matter, but rather making sure it did not become a story for WAND.
We asked Abudayyeh for comment, no reply received as of publication.
This is the type of communication that breeds distrust in government.
