Illinois State Senate District 58 issued the following announcement on April 23.

Governor Pritzker rationalized extending his shut-down order for another 38 days based on a false choice between the status-quo and a dangerous, complete, immediate reopening of our state that is advocated by no one. I and many other legislators would have preferred that the Governor recognize the regional differences that exist in our state, empower local officials to determine safe practices and procedures for their own areas, and provide a pathway back to normalcy. The people of Illinois have a capacity for sacrifice that is deep, but not unlimited. They deserve more than the continued one-size-fits-all approach that Governor Pritzker gave them."
