A week after two of his appointees to the state’s Prisoner Review Board were ousted — one by the Illinois Senate and another by a preemptive resignation — Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday named two new choices, one who was a top aide to a past rival, former Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner.
Pritzker appointed Chicago lawyers Rodger Heaton and Robin Shoffner to the controversial board, according to appointment letters sent to the Illinois secretary of state’s office on Friday.
