According to sources with knowledge of the announcement, the governor will announced a phased-plan to drop the indoor mask mandate in most settings, but that plan will not include a repeal of the mask mandate in public schools. See our own column on this linked here.
The Governor has always followed the (political) science & (political) data when making the best decisions for our health.

So… when will people learn? History repeats itself, and apparently this time faster than usual.

He needs to do this because the primaries are coming up and they need to change their narrative to fit better for elections. Many people in Illinois have a short memory problem and will fall for it. You watch, the fat man here will change everything in the next few months to garner support and votes. That is all this is about.

The non conformists must be punished!
It will be on the honor system and the unvaccinated will not comply.
Im beating Jb has to cut some kind of gimmie behinde the scenes deal w teachers union before he lifts the school mask mandate
He’ll do whatever CTU tells him to do.
2 things are clear, in case we doubted it before:
1. Teachers unions hate children, and want this sanctioned child abuse to continue.
2. Pritzker will do whatever the teachers unions want done.
Oh, and step up those pension payments.
