Illinois State Senator Andy Manar fought back against the criticism of Governor Pritzker for not taking a regional approach to the opening of the economy. Manar said that the Governor has taken a regional approach.

Manar said that it would be foolish to fully reopen the economy after taking one step forward to then have to take 2 steps back.

Anecdotal examples like why it’s safe for 400 people to be in a grocery store, so why can’t a hair salon open for one on one service, according to Senator Manar, discounts what should be driving the important decisions that are being made and that’s data.
