Illinois is Open!

While Transport Limousine Service is considered an essential business and is open for anyone who needs service, good news came for the rest of Illinois today as  Clay County Judge Michael McHaney  ruled in favor of Rep. Darren Bailey regarding Governor Pritzker’s Executive Order.

From the article:  

Following Judge McHaney’s decision, Bailey Tweeted “Illinois is Open! Live Responsible!”

Bailey’s lawsuit, filed in April, accuses Gov. J.B. Pritzker of abusing his emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While Pritzker’s Stay-at-Home order is no longer in effect, Rep. Bailey’s attorney, Tom DeVore feels his argument is just as valid when addressing the phased plan to reopen the state’s economy. The governor has explained any region of the state could move back to a previous phase of Restore Illinois with a surge of COVID-19 cases.

“We do not have executive officers or heads of administrative agencies dictating to people unilaterally. And if you don’t agree with them they’re going to punish you,” DeVore exclaimed. “That has to come to an end.”
