Same. Good to see more and more towns/counties defying the idiocy.

Madison County is acting to fill the void of sane responsible leadership from Springfield or Chicago or Florida or wherever Dictator Jabba is hiding today.

The governor does not have the authority to withhold. His emergency powers are basically void since he has not requested an extension of his emergency powers thru the Illinois Legislature. Time for individual counties make their own decisions on opening based on sound facts.
