My polling place was extremely ridiculous as their answer was to give you some squirts of hand sanitizer when you were done except all they had were these little travel sized bottles and even though I went at like noon they were almost out.

I’m jealous. Every time it comes up for our library to get more funding for repairs and more hours, everyone is all like, “NOT WITH MY MONEY!”

Then again these are the same people that complain about new businesses coming into town when they complained about not having new businesses in town.

We were very lucky. Our construction bond expired this year and we were looking for an operating increase in the same amount. That way we were able to sell it as a "zero tax rate increase". I doubt we would have won if it was a straight tax hike.

Are you talking about Andre? If so, good. He didn't even print up any new signs specifically for the committeeman race, as far as I've seen. They've all been the ones he's had from the previous aldermanic race. Shows how much he cares about that power grab lol

I’ve kinda soured on him after he denied a zoning request for a three flat to “preserve the single family character of the street” for a street that already had a bunch of three flats on it.

And a grad student beat a county board member who bragged about being appointed as chairman via a deal with Republicans on the board. By like, a lot.

The winners include Emily Rodriguez of Champaign, who defeated county board chairman Giraldo Rosales in District 8, on a vote of 1,403 to 283. Rodriguez won 83% of the vote, according to the first unofficial tally from the Champaign County Clerk’s office.

When it is just a town making the order, what are the penalties for disregarding that order? Just curious if there are any teeth to that order.

The Tribune article I saw seemed to indicate it was because they had their first case of the virus in Oak Park.

Just had a company meeting whet according to my owner he heard from a friend of friend of a senator Pritzker will shut the state down.

And man my owner is freaking out so much about not being able to send parts to our customers and keep their production lines running.

Woke up at 6am yesterday morning when my mother in law called because she heard from a really reliable source that the US is being put on lockdown in 48 hours or less....

When my wife got off the phone, she asked me what I thought and all I could say was “my uncle also works nintendo”....she got kind of pissed at me for dismissing her mom like that.

Like here's the loving thing with that rumor, California just put the entire state on lockdown. Most of the libraries are closed and the librarians are pissed that there are some still open. The restaurants and bars are all shut down. Schools are shut down. At this point it very much is a matter of when not if and we're all just guessing when.

I posted it not so much for the rumor but cause the rear end in a top hat owner of the company during our meeting cared more about not shutting down our customers and staying open and keeping people physical there if they do impose a state shut down. He was just freaking out about what our customers are going to think of us rather than his own employees health.

statewide moratorium on evictions during crisis

grocery stores will be open, pharmacies open, DON'T HOARD YOU loving ANIMALS

restaurants will still be able to deliver WOO I assume curbside pickup is still ok

parks and libraries in Chicago will be closed, other municipalities its up to their mayors.

Parks won't be cordoned off rather all the buildings/facilities within them (bathrooms, greenhouses etc) will be closed. You can still walk in them, walk your dog etc just stay 6ft away from each other

all effective tmw at 5pm lasting til April 7th

edit: public speakers take note: this chick (Dr. Emily Landon) practiced the poo poo out of this speech and it shows. Her delivery is excellent.

Also is Lori Lightfoot like three apples high or is everyone on that stage a giant cuz drat, she looks like an anxious little kid waiting to be yelled at outside the principal's office on career day.

drat Dr. #2 (Dr. Ngozi Ezike Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) ) uppin' the game by giving her speech in English AND Spanish.
