Pritzker’s executive orders unchecked as lawmakers return home until January
The Center Square ^ | 10/29/21 | Greg Bishop

It’s been more than 20 months since Gov. J.B. Pritzker began managing the state’s response to COVID-19 through executive order and the Democrat-controlled legislature remains hands-off.

Pritzker’s first orders, with accompanying emergency declarations, were in March 2020. The orders concerning COVID-19 have evolved since then and range from a stay-at-home order that lasted more than ten weeks, business closures with varying degrees of capacity and threats of sending state police to enforce, school closures, mask mandates and most recently vaccine mandates for a variety of sectors.

Lawmakers left the capitol after the end of the veto session Thursday and won’t be back until Jan. 4.

Any elected official allowing rule by executive order is complicit in everything that happens. (Yet it escapes me how these barnacles abdicate the power they give everything to get.)

Amazing that some Idiot could write a story like that and not even mention the name of the state. And I am not going to bother to try and figure it out.

Pritzker’s dictatorial approach to Covid is THE main reason we moved from Illinois to Missouri last year. We had been thinking about moving for a year before that, but Pritzker’s actions gave us the final push. So glad to be out of that state!

Gov. Pritzker’s cousin Jennifer (né James) has quietly pumped many millions of dollars into the ongoing transgender campaign. They’re the clan that keeps on giving.

And Jelly Belly is currently in Glaskow for who knows what reason and spending IL taxpayers money.

However, at least some suburban mayors are starting to push back and will not enforce any mandates.

b4me—That was mean and totally uncalled for!

Restless—Welcome to Missouri, we’ll take all the conservatives we can get to counteract Kansas City, St. Louis, Columbia and Springfield!

We pretty much ignore the Democrat governor of IL. The police don’t enforce the mask mandate around my parts of the state
