Challenges to Pritzker’s COVID-19 restrictions back in court Wednesday – State Journal-Register (Springfield)
Essentially identical lawsuits were originally filed in Edgar, Bond, Richland, Clinton, and Sangamon counties. In each case, plaintiffs want the court to declare a public health emergency does not exist and that Pritzker be barred from exercising powers under the Emergency Management Act in those counties. The Illinois Supreme Court ordered that all of the cases be combined and heard in Sangamon County.
