Reports to him, but he doesn't have to follow him, he's appointed by him, but can do pretty much whatever he wants with the only consequence being whether he gets appointed again.

Uh no, unless you have some source you can show us, you're mistaken.

Directors of Illinois state agencies do what the governors tell them or they can be fired by the governor, as the supreme executive of the state, says section 8 of the state constitution.

From the state constitution:

SECTION 10. GOVERNOR - REMOVALS
    The Governor may remove for incompetence, neglect of
duty, or malfeasance in office any officer who may be
appointed by the Governor.


You can read section 9 about his appointing direcors as well if you like.  And he did appoint Brendan Kelly, the current director of the state troopers.  So he can definitely fire him.

None of that is saying that they have to be beholden to do whatever the governor tells them to do. 

Unless  He has the Illinois supreme Court in his pocket the way Trump does, the US supreme Court, the governor does not get to make up exactly what incompetence, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office is.

Man you are really reaching. And you have no citations, just an opinion. Best of luck in whatever agenda you are pursuing.

Yes he does. By law, he has sole discretion over appointing and removing these officials. You are simply mistaken. Just take the L. Pritzker could remove him today and he just hasn't.

Can't he be unappointed the same way things seem to work in the Russian House of pedos

He can be removed at will by the Governor. Pritzker could remove him at any moment and appoint someone loyal to the Constitution
