Ken Griffin buys stuff

Ken Griffen,#47 on the Forbes richest list loves the Constitution so much he is buying a first printing of it for $42.3 Million.
Ken loves democracy so much he wants to buy Illinois a governor more to his liking then current Governor J.B Pritzker. Griffen spent over$36 million in the last two governor's races supporting defeated gov Bruce Rauner. Back the F off Ken Illinois is not your play thing. Democracy is not for sale.

Perhaps he should provide his own staff in case of fire, crime, and/or medical emergency. Time to stop grifters from sucking down taxpayer dollars.
