A local lawmaker says he will be giving Governor-elect JB Pritzker an opportunity to prove himself as he takes office in less than a month. 

State Senator Chapin Rose anticipates the incoming Democrat to be successful in getting things done given he has the majority in his favor in the House and Senate. However, Sen. Rose says it is still somewhat a mystery what his agenda will be as takes office.

Sen. Rose says he has his attention on a few of the issues, particularly higher education and progressive income tax. Additionally, he has some tough decisions coming given the state of Illinois' finances.

Sen. Rose anticipates the legalization of marijuana quickly under the Governor, however, he has his reservations about the proposal.

Sen. Rose says his biggest concern is the likelihood of increased DUI arrests. He was once a DUI prosecutor and points to Colorado where traffic accidents are up since the passage of their marijuana legislation and fears more injuries will go up as a result.
