BOLD ILLINOIS STATE REPRESENTATIVE!!!
Rep. Bailey Files Suit: Clay County Judge Issues Temporary Block of Gov. Pritzker’s Stay-at-Home Order
EXCERPT...
LOUISVILLE - Clay County Circuit Court Judge Michael McHaney ruled on Monday against Gov. J.B. Pritzkers executive stay-at-home order, and granted a restraining order to temporarily block the order. Rep. Darren Bailey filed the lawsuit and said in it the governor exceeded his authority and violated the civil rights of Illinois citizens.
Rep. Bailey resides in rural Louisville, IL. Gov. Pritzker expressed agitation at the ruling in his daily news conference and said he will appeal the ruling. Gov. Pritzker said the judges ruling is a direct insult at anyone who has lost a loved one to COVID-19.
Bailey issued a statement about the lawsuit: My lawsuit asks the court to find that Gov. Pritzker overextended his power by issuing additional stay at home orders after his original proclamation, which expired on April 9th, 2020, Rep. Bailey said. Enough is enough! I filed this lawsuit on behalf of myself and my constituents who are ready to go back to work and resume a normal life.
