This week, attorney Thomas DeVore filed a motion asking a Sangamon County judge to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuits he initiated against Pritzker and eight local health department officials in Region 4. DeVore argues the lawsuits are no longer necessary, citing statements from health department officials from four of the eight health departments that they never enforced the executive orders because they lacked the authority to do so.
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
