One year in, Illinois restaurants struggle with restrictions while landlords continue to wait

One year in, Illinois restaurants struggle with restrictions while landlords continue to wait by Greg Bishop, The Center Square  | March 15, 2021 09:30 AM Print this article What started with two weeks to slow the spread of the virus has turned into a full year and government policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are having lasting impacts on Illinois businesses and landlords. On March 16, 2020, Gov. J.B. Pritzker closed restaurants and bars to indoor service. Over 12 months, he’s flipped the on-off switch several times with executive order and emergency rules limiting business activity. “[T]he governor extended his state of emergency power by delivering executive order after executive order a total of 76 times, shutting down our economy and making massive public health decisions without the inclusion of the legislature or the communities we represent,” said Illinois Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie.

CAPITOL RECAP: With Stimulus On the Way, Lawmakers Want a Say

Lawmakers from both parties told officials from Gov. JB Pritzker’s administration on Thursday, March 11 that the General Assembly should have some say in how the state spends the $7.5 billion in federal funds that Illinois expects to receive from the newly-enacted American Rescue Plan. Those comments came during a virtual hearing of the House Revenue and Finance Committee that took place just hours after President Joe Biden signed the $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill into law. “I think the legislature would like a say in appropriating money, given our role,” Rep. Michael Zalewski, D-Riverside, said to the director of the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget, Alexis Sturm. “So my hope is that you could convey that to the governor’s office and we can develop a framework to work together on that.”
