Downstate Republican Illinois Lawmaker Darren Bailey sued Governor JB Pritzker in Clay County. Clay County Judge Michael McHaney ruled in favor of Representative Bailey and his constituents in reopening their district. So what this means is business owners in Bailey’s district can reopen and workers can go back to work despite Pritzker’s stay at home executive order. This infuriated the freshman rookie governor. Pritzker decided to retaliate by threatening any small business that defy his order will get their business licenses revoked. This is unconstitutional and illegal.
