SPRINGFIELD â Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza said she is hopeful outdoor events can return as early as this summer with large indoor events such as conventions and trade shows beginning in the fall.
Speaking during a Senate Tourism and Hospitality Committee hearing, Mendoza said that the return to holding events would be gradual and based on a number of factors, including COVID-19 transmission and vaccination rates.
âWeâre on a favorable trajectory in the pandemic,â Mendoza told the committee on Thursday. âLetâs continue to prepare for the worst and plan for the best and optimally position ourselves to reopen with greater capacity sooner rather than later.â

Madigan again picks his successor after first one lasted 2 days
Madigan again picks his successor after first one lasted 2 days Mike Madigan again controlled the choice of his replacement as state representative after his first pick resigned over ‘questionable conduct.’ This pick is a community activist who manages COVID-19 contact tracing.
The quick implosion of Mike Madigan’s choice as his replacement to represent the 22nd Illinois House District was quickly followed by a new choice: Angelica Guerrero-Cuellar, who was sworn in Feb. 25.
Guerrero-Cuellar said she plans to be a full-time state lawmaker, quitting her job managing outreach work for COVID-19, including contact tracing. She is the daughter of immigrants and her husband is a Chicago police officer.
