Defying Gov. Pritzker, downstate Illinois county re-opens today

Governor JB Pritzker's lockdown has been devastating to Illinois--particularly in rural parts of the state.

One southern Illinois county is fighting back against the Chicago Democrat.

From KMOV-TV:

As the State of Illinois remains under stay-at-home orders, officials in one Illinois county voted Tuesday night to re-open effective on Wednesday.

Madison County Health Board Chairman Kurt Prenzler is behind a resolution that allows businesses in the county to open in phases. Restaurants, gyms and salons could open as early as Wednesday with restrictions.

"It basically says that all businesses are essential," said Prenzler.

Nearly 30 members of the Madison County Board of Health voted on the resolution, with a majority voting in favor. The plan, detailed in four phases, allows restaurants, bars, salons, daycares and gyms to open Wednesday. Restaurants, retail shops and gyms must only allow 25 percent of their capacity. Salons will have to limit customers by appointment only.

Pritzker, a total thug, is threatening to withhold federal relief money--that's right federal funds--for defying the directives of the Great Oz.
