Illinois State House District 82 issued the following announcement on April 23.
Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs) released the following statement on the Governor Pritzker’s changes to the ‘Stay At Home’ order:
“The new Stay At Home order that includes many recommendations from the House Republican caucus is the first step in moving Illinois forward. Working together and implementing smart policy decisions will increase the safety of Illinois residents and allow our economy to begin opening up in an equitable fashion while still protecting employees and customers. I want Illinoisans to know that the Executive Order is not final, but it is a working document subject to change. While I am pleased with today’s actions, we must do more to restore economic vitality of the state while maintaining the health and safety of our citizens.”
