Illinois trade association objects to Pritzker’s 5-Phase plan; Calls for public hearings
Illinois Review ^ | May 6, 2020 | Staff

Posted on 05/06/2020 1:45:08 PM PDT by PBRCat

We have significant reservations about the effectiveness and wisdom of the Governor’s plan. At a minimum, the General Assembly needs to hold hearings on the plan, and the likely effects on the citizens of the State of Illinois.

The group proposed questions that need to be answered by the Governor’s administration in public hearings:

1. Precisely who are the “experts” he refers to that are guiding the Governor’s COVID planning?

2. Who are the economic advisors that are a part of the Governor’s planning team?

3. Why is the Administration unwilling or unable to share basic source data for their fatality and case count?

4. Why is there significant divergence between the Administration’s COVID fatality numbers and those report by the Center for Disease Control?

5. Will the Governor’s office release the expert reports, documents, and the detailed statistical model they are using for projecting the risk to Illinois citizens?

6. Is any other state, or any other country planning to extend their police powers until there is a vaccine?

7. What statutory authority is the Governor acting under that allows him to unilaterally extend his emergency police powers and project them indefinitely?

8. What has the economic cost to Illinois citizens of the Governor’s emergency actions to date?

9. What is the daily cost of extending his limited shelter in place?

10. How many Illinois families are unemployed because of the emergency response?

11. What is the status of the thousands of Illinois workers trying to claim benefits under the Administration’s backlogged Unemployment system?

12. How is the State of Illinois going to be able to pay costs already incurred for extraordinary COVID expenses, and the Governor’s plan to stand up a new “tracking” workforce and program?

Governor Creosote won’t respond unless he’s forced to.

And he won’t be.

Damned leftists will do ANYTHING to prevent President Trump’s reelection in Nov.

IMHO, if anything, this should increase his turnout.
