It’s been more than a year since Gov. J.B. Pritzker issued his first “stay-at-home” order – without any input from the co-equal legislative branch – in response to the incidence of COVID-19 in Illinois. A year later, with vaccinations increasing and COVID-19 cases decreasing, Illinoisans are waiting for the next phase of reopening to begin, but the Governor still hasn’t released any details about moving forward. And lawmakers are still not being allowed any input in the decisions being made on behalf of the millions of people we represent.
