A report last week is linking a stock pick from Governor Pritzker’s blind investment trust to a corporation that does billions in state business.

Trustees at Northern Trust bought stock in Centene in 2020. Centene had been a state contractor before 2020, but that year they added to their state business portfolio. Pritzker maintains that he has no control over how the trustees are making stock and investment picks.

Pritzker says he only learned of the investment after a reporter called to ask about it.
