SPRINGFIELD — State Sen. Chapin Rose is seeking an investigation into a probe by Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration into a Mahomet-Seymour school board member’s position on the state’s school mask mandate.
The Mahomet Republican said Thursday that he filed the complaint with the Office of the Executive Inspector General on the advice of his caucus’s ethics officer.
The issue centers on Carle Health sports-medicine physician Dr. Jeremy Henrichs, who is also a member of the Mahomet-Seymour school board.
In an Aug. 11 email, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation asked Henrichs for a detailed statement on his opinion about face masks and whether he supports and will enforce a mask mandate based on his elected position as a school board member.

In a statement from Henrichs shared by Rose, the doctor said he has considered “authoritative medical evidence” that questions the necessity of mandatory masking in schools.
“As a result, the IDPFR has threatened my medical licensure unless I expressly support and enforce a mask mandate for all students,” he said. “The IDPFR has commanded me to toe the line or suffer personal and professional consequences.”

“This is a frightening abuse of power,” Rose said about the investigation.
He called it “frankly un-American that any administration would try to threaten someone’s professional license to force them to vote in a certain way.”
Henrichs also said the state agency actions “constitute a direct threat from the state to the well-being of my family and all board members to freely and independently exercise the duties of elected office.”"

If you can’t provide technical specifications for the required masks, there is simply no scientific basis for pretending the ability to predict the effectiveness of “masks”.

Not an attorney, so I must ask.
How is this different from Prior Restraint?
And everything is predicated on how he might respond to a legitimate question.
Our Gov the Big Boy look-alike is a sharpie!
And now without Madigan to hold him back...
ANY government-funded legal attack against a citizen should be modified such that should the government lose, those who wield such power should be personally liable for at least half the costs! And then fired. No resigning from a crime!!
