Illinois Gov. J.B Pritzker had a pretty eventful Monday to begin his 2nd term here in Springfield.  He gave a speech on a wide variety of themes, saying that his administration will seek to not just continue the work it’s done in his first term, but to look far into the future.

Following the ceremony, Pritzker’s inaugural bash was held at the Expo building on the state fairgrounds, with the governor paying for the event’s costs. Grammy Award-winning musician Bruno Mars performed at the event as the surprise guest of honor, leading off with his hit tune “24K Magic,” and Pritzker and his wife MK danced to the song “You’re Still the One” during the event.  All proceeds from the gala, which was sold out, went to different charities.
