The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is rebuilding under Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker .

During the past two years alone , the agency added 261 new employees.

It is unclear if new blood and more money can offset President-elect Donald Trump’s promised rollbacks of environmental protections.

Jennings said the agency is working with the Illinois Department of Public Health to help well owners determine if their water is contaminated.

Jennings : "No matter how exceptional ( Jennings ) may be, he’s going to be faced with decisions that already were made for him during the past decade ".
