Putzker Folds

  • Gov. J.B. Pritzker's administration has withdrawn the emergency rule it adopted Friday that made it a crime for owners of certain businesses to operate in violation of executive orders he has issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    State public health officials confirmed the change Wednesday at a meeting of the Illinois General Assembly's Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, or JCAR, which consists of six Democrats and six Republican. A vote by eight members of the 12-member committee would have been required to overrule the emergency rule.

    The public health rule change filed Friday made it a class A misdemeanor — punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine — for owners of bars and restaurants to allow indoor consumption, for fitness and health clubs to allow customers on site, or for barbers, cosmetologists and other "non-medical personal care services" to provide on-site services.

    Due to begin at 10:30 a.m., the meeting was delayed by nearly three hours as Democratic lawmakers met behind closed doors. According to Rep. Tom Demmer, the Pritzker administration agreed to repeal the rule in response to "significant opposition" from members of the joint committee.
We weren't the only people encouraging readers to call, write, send telegrams. It was a concerted effort by many many more people than our limited reach. A very good job all around. But we need everyone to pay attention and continue to pay attention, because dictators hate to be thwarted.

This is only a single battle.

JB pulled it because he didn’t have the authority and it wouldn’t hold up. I just hope everyone remembers and gets really mad at voting time. They work for us!

"...dictators hate to be thwarted."


Pritzker backs off emergency rule, Senate pursues softer bill for stay-at-home order enforcement

By Greg Bishop | The Center Square 8 hrs ago

Members from the Joint Commission on Administrative Rules and Illinois Department of Public Health about the repeal of emergency rules

(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Wednesday backed off an emergency rule filed by his administration that would have made reopening a business outside of his stay-at-home order a crime.

After delaying the start of the Joint Commission on Administrative Rules by about three hours on Wednesday, JCAR co-chairman and state Sen. Bill Cunningham asked Illinois Department of Public Health officials if the emergency would be repealed.

“The recently filed emergency rule filed by the department is going to be repealed,” Cunningham said. “Can you confirm that for me?”

A department official confirmed it would be repealed.

Repealing the rule kept members of JCAR from going on the record with a vote on it.

[...]

Pritzker on Wednesday said with the General Assembly back in session he will pursue legislation with the same mechanism to coincide his phased-in reopening plan and if such a measure isn't passed, he will file another emergency rule.

And the Health Club Industry remains silent.So Level 3 of the Rest in Peace Plan allows Gyms and Health Clubs to have "10" people inside and Personal Trainers can train people out in the parking lot????And those 10 people can not workout inside of the facility.Whats the point of opening?Same with the restaurants and Bars.Why would any server who depends on tips even consider going back to work?With all the rules that are shoved down their throats,they basically have to toss the entire table,menu,condiments,etc into the garbage after each sitting.How does a business make any money?

I heard he withdrew because the legislature agreed to meet today to put a law into effect that would effectively give the same consequences. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen. I would hope the legislature would, for once, be a voice of the people but it’s always up for grabs in this state.

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how these politicians are trying to make capitalism a crime. As predicted, business owners made a loud enough cry over this one. Imagine being under arrest for trying to keep a business afloat and people on your payroll. It was unthinkable 6 months ago.
As far as I'm concerned, the Police have no business enforcing any of these executive orders based upon my constitutional perspective. A supervisor is going to have to directly give me an order to take any action, and then his name is going down on the report. I have had a few bosses tell me to leave them off the paper in the past. Not this time Boss...

The president was besieged with pleas from Illinois residents to put a stop to Pritzker who was planning to lock people up for the next 150 days. Trump threatened to send in the feds if the governors did not open up their states. A win for the good guys. But yes, be vigilant because this governor is power hungry and vicious.

This is not a victory of any kind.The lap dog media are hilarious with their distortions of the alleged changes in Level 3.By the time the news cycle rotated around to the 9 and 10 o clock news they posted graphics on their screens that would have you believe that all restaurants are open for diners and all Health Clubs and Gyms are now open.Read the not so fine print people.Nothing has changed except for the time being you won,t be charged with a Class A Misdemeanor if you defy the illegal Governor,s orders.You still can not eat inside of a restaurant and you still are forbidden from working out at your Health Club/Gym.The Illinois State Legislature failed.The purpose for convening was to strike down these illegal orders and open the entire State up for business.They were successful on making everyone in the Convention Center wear masks.If I were the 1 Representative that was removed for refusing,I would have been armed with the volumes of data by accredited doctors regarding the wearing of masks by healthy individuals.These masks are going to get you sick.

Butch Cassidy and JB the Sundance Kid are at odds with each other over who opens what first. If the POTUS lifts the National Order, I think all courts will find the lockdowns unlawful and executive home rules void, Constitutionally. It’s why JB Butterworth wants it a state statute...especially for the Dem October Surprise....Covid’s Second Wave.

Resistance is making a difference and JB Butters knows it. Does he care the taxpayers are on to the scheme? Nope.
Although he’s accustomed to looking like a fool, he could care less about IL and only relying on the DNC to help vacate his toilet tax fraud case by following their playbook.
He and Larri LightLoafers have 3 years to wreak havoc on the taxpayers regardless of any Phase or grand reopening date. Both can’t wait to claim being first to proclaim Mission Accomplished.

Fat Ass is feelin' some heat from the legislature. They are getting some serious heat and election time is coming up fast. Karma is a bitch. All know he's a "jagdork" and his despicable actions are being noticed by all. Madigan and Harmen must be talking to Jabba and telling him to take a few deep breaths, stop sweating, wipe the grease from his multiple jowls, drops the pork chops and listen to reason.

When fat fuck gets up on stage and starts lecturing us about masking, washing and locking us down, he knows that our eyes begin to ooze blood. The figure of a morbidly obese, hot sweaty man with a neck larger than his head cannot be taken seriously. All hail the jagdork. Look, point, laugh and walk away.

How many think that the Lockdown is tied into the latest Dem spending proposal...?
“The HEREOS Act includes $915 billion in state and local aid that could prevent layoffs of public workers...like first responders and STAY AT HOME teachers monitoring 20% e-learning log-in attendance lesson plans....yeah, they’re essential.
Then....
- $200 billion "heroes" fund for hazard pay for essential workers (see above)
- $100 billion, (again see above) for a failing STAY AT HOME K-12 and higher education
- another $75 billion for coronavirus testing, i.e. Sean Penn Clinics? Cook Co executive admin staff budget is a billion.

Some “guaranteed income” provisions too:
The legislation doles out $1,200 to eligible individuals, up to $6,000 per household. 
- extends add-on unemployment benefits of $600 in addition to state benefits through JANUARY 2021 !!!
- provides $175 billion for families to pay their mortgages and rent, by zip code.
- includes student loan forgiveness...includes foreigners?
- employee retention tax credit, if you like your job at the Dollar Store after graduating college.
- increases maximum SNAP benefits by 15 percent.
- including expanding $1,200 checks to certain undocumented immigrants (just the ones that are here).
- restore the full State and Local Tax Deduction (SALT) that helps individuals in high-taxed blue states, i.e. battleground states.
- $25 billion bailout for the mismanaged U.S. Postal Service that’s ships for amazon prime on the cheap.
- allow legal marijuana businesses to access banking services, like a corner store does for EBT.
- early voting and vote-by-mail provisions....no idea what that will cost yet.

The longer they drag out this Democrat sponsored HEROS Act the longer the shutdown remains.
That’s why all these Dem states are dragging, orders coming from Pelosi to MI, NC, MI, IL
