Gov. J.B. Pritzker set to unveil exit plan for mask mandateGov. J.B. Pritzker is set to unveil his planned off-ramp from pandemic restrictions in Illinois on Wednesday as the omicron-driven COVID-19 surge continues to subside, sources said. 'The SCIENCE tells me that since every other state is tossing the useless mask mandate, and the plebs seem to be getting pissed off....its now time to pick a random date and remove it' Leadership and SCIENCE! This should read, “Pritzker makes attempt to save his re-election chances by dropping some of his draconian lockdown measures that did nothing but harm kids and destroy lives.” It appears Gov Big Boy is about to get out of the mandate business. The mandates were always about virtue-signaling by the governor, nothing else. Now that they’ve become a political liability, it’s time for them to go.
