Some state parks, recreation areas, and fish and wildlife areas will reopen in Illinois on May 1st under a modified stay-at-home order announced by Governor JB Pritzker Thursday.
The governor says that we may be "bending the curve" here in Illinois, but the cancellations and postponements may be here though the warm weather months.
The order began at 5 p.m. Saturday and will go until April 7. Like other states, the order will mean residents can still go to the grocery stores, put gas in their cars, take walks outside and make pharmacy runs.
Illinois Policy's Adam Schuster explains in 5 examples why Illinoisans have so much distrust when it comes to our political leaders and their "agreements."
The bill, which was amended by the Senate, now goes back to the Illinois House, which indicated in social media posts it would take quick action on it.
