Pritzker, Lightfoot trade barbs over COVID clampdown – Crain’s

The two leaders have quietly disagreed over a variety of issues over the past year, from pension reform to fiscal policy and authorizing a Chicago casino to canceling the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. But what’s sparking the new and more open exchange was Pritzker’s decision earlier Tuesday to suspend indoor restaurant service. That decision was at odds with Lightfoot’s earlier move to end indoor service at bars only.

There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
