Sen. Plummer Critical of Governor's "Restore Illinois" Plan

Local State Senator Jason Plummer is terming the Governor's "Restore Illinois" plan "a baseless year-long, modified stay-at-home order with almost zero accountability or transparency". 

Plummer addressed the damage that has been caused to the economy, saying, "Our small business community is being devastated day-after-day. Businesses declared 'non-essential' will have to wait another month before possibly being allowed to resume operations, despite there being ways for these businesses to safely open and other states, including New York, implementing shorter, more realistic timelines between phases. Jobs, businesses, livelihoods, and much more are being permanently--and unnecessarily--lost by the Governor's ham-handed approach to reopening Illinois."

The Edwardsville Republican added, 'It's time to acknowledge that the Governor has overreached his authority and recognize the needs of the people of this state. I respectfully urge the Governor to set aside his personal agenda and work with those of us in the General Assembly to provide for a realistic, bipartisan solution to reopen Illinois."
