Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on Wednesday opted to withdraw the harsh emergency rule his administration filed last Friday, which criminalized business owners violating his stay-at-home order.
The emergency rule had noncompliant businesses facing a Class A misdemeanor for reopening against the governor’s orders — an action that could have carried jail time or a fine of up to $2,500. A Pritzker spokesperson, at the time, described the rule as an “additional enforcement tool for businesses that refuse to comply with the most critical aspects of the stay-at-home order.”
The governor faced a slew of backlash and, while he has continued to defend the sentiment of the rule — praising it for giving “more flexibility” in the enforcement of his orders — he is urging the legislature to come up with a measure “with the same intended mechanism in a phased manner in line with the Restore Illinois plan.”

I hate Illinois Nazis. /hat tip to Jim from another thread LOL
(that one hadn’t occurred to me)
Guess they just got the focus group results back ...
This is the fat imbecile who lashed out at Trump for not knowing the “science”
What is the science behind prohibiting a family of 4 together at home, from going on a 40 ft boat? Only 2 allowed by this punk.
There is no science here, only despotism.
Is it still “illegal” in Illinois for more than two people to be on a boat?
I thought that was just Michigan.
Could be. It’s hard to keep track of the bizarre restrictions.
“He got a real pretty mouth ain’t he?”
Weeeeeee Weeeeeeeee!
Seems like those Democrat Nazi tactics of Pritzker backfired.
Even in Illinois.
The people need to push back more to Jabba the Hutt’s power grab.
Works for me
Are the governors of Illinois and Michigan related or are they just smoking the same stuff?
I think they’re on the same power grab.
Governor Creosote got his ass handed to him yesterday. It took a large fork lift.
