FOX LAKE – On Wednesday, Governor JB Pritzker announced that COVID-19 resurgence mitigations will be implemented for Region 9, which includes Lake and McHenry Counties on Saturday, Oct. 31.

“COVID-19 is serious and we all need to be careful, but we are now seven full months into this health pandemic and the Governor still refuses to engage with the legislative branch.
“I believe every business is essential, and that the Governor needs to seek input from legislators before any new decisions are made.
“With positivity rates increasing statewide, I am urging the Governor to call a special session so we can work together to create a plan that allows all businesses to safely remain open.

what a joke power tripper….
just give’em mo hot dogs and beans he will relent…
mr. white privelege.. as they say…
That RINO is the drama queen of the region. All talk.
Some guy, you made me LOL.

Since he can’t he’s content to make noises about what he would do. . .
Kinda like the guy who gets beat to a pulp on the playground, then he and his attacker are restrained by the teachers and all he can do is run his mouth “lemme go, I’ll beat him silly”
Uh, yeah, right!
Weber is a fake Republican.
He’s more like an avuncular publican.
