It's the farmers and small town MAGAts who all hate Pritzker driving this issue here.

The good(ISH) news is that by far the biggest employer in the county is Scott AFB and the base has been on point since March.

Without that Island of Sanity I shudder to think what we'd look like.

Mike Bost (Our Trumphuffing Rep) has been invisible. The Mayors are all over the board grading out from A through F, with a lot of Incompletes

The only elected official I regularly see adressing this issue is County Board Chairman Mark Kern.

Oddly enough, according to many of my neighbors, Mark is apparently in a sexual relationship with both Pritzker and Obama.



Although some localities are trying to keep a lid on things, a shit load of the corn towns around the county have been non-compliant from the get go.

I think it's the stupid that makes the corn grow tall 'round these parts
