We did it! Because of opposition from the public, myself, and members of JCAR. Governor Pritzker withdrew his rule that would punish businesses by issuing a fine up to $2,500 and jail time if they did not follow his 'Stay at Home' order. Also, thank you to the GOP members of JCAR

Governor Pritzker must stop punishing bars and restaurants in our region or else there wont be any of these businesses left. There does not appear to be an accurate scientific method to his madness.
For example, the business interruption grants (BIG) announced last week, only 12 businesses in my district received a grant from the state compared to 101 businesses receiving a grant in a Chicago legislative district.
Now that the Governor is further limiting capacity in bars and restaurants and requiring them to only be able to take reservations in order to serve customers. Pritzker should provide more grants to small businesses in the Metro East instead of prioritizing Chicago.
If youre a bar, restaurant or hotel in need of immediate assistance, this grant may give you the boost you need to help stay competitive. Apply here https://t.co/2U1LGza5uy https://t.co/WcovG83mcG
