All proceeds raised will go to a local family who recently lost their 9 year old son to leukemia. His name, was Kyle Griffin.

Supporters argue making such proclamations will lead to changes in socio-economic policies. Opponents argue none of these resolutions or proclamations will really help the black community. A July 24, 2020 Rasmussen Report says that Americans believe blacks are more racist than whites, Hispanics and Asians in this country. A July 03, 2013 report from Rasmussen also said Americans consider blacks more likely to be racist than whites and Hispanics in this country. Links included in article.

Why do you keep on posting this nonsense. Today in the Port should be renamed. Today in Trumpland.
Oh this whole article is funny. The 1000 people surveyed must have been pre screened to likely give those responses and that 1000 Americans definitely wasn’t a cross section of this country. This article was all fluff and no substance
Most of your news articles come from The Center Square. The Center Square, formerly Watchdog.org, is an American news website that features reporting on state and local government from a conservative perspective. How about news sites that report from 'both sides of the aisle'?
This whole ‘report’ is by racists whites.
Yeah it's a health crisis when we are shooting each other .
I’m not buying it....Obama said it and everyone is jumping on the band wagon.
It is really about poverty in my opinion. When there are a lot of living wage jobs for people to go to. Things get more equal, due to economics alone. Not perfect. But why did so many blacks move from Mississippi, Arkansas, etc. To Freeport, Rockford. In 50's 60's 70's?Jobs, plain and simple. Jobs. Then since Reagan, we have been on a "trickle down" economic theory. With almost no taxes, for corporations. And next to free money to borrow. There is no accountability of the corporate giants to create jobs with all these goodies. They just replace people with machines. When the tax rate on corporate profits used hit 92% after the first free 10 million. Then company's employed more people, by creating divisions and sub divisions making more free 10 million dollar profits.
All this is is a Politicly correct Narrative
I'll call bullshit
Enforceable actions ranging from an enforcement officer educating an establishment about the rules, to a warning and then to a monetary fine of between $75 and $2,500..

So Pritzker make businesses the mask police! People have been beaten and killed for telling others to wear masks and now he wants us to put our safety at risk by confronting people who don't want to wear masks. Will he come to the funerals of those killed by crazys?

He has no more authority he lost it july 2nd
This is coming from someone who don't have to worry about money and wants more from covid testing...ya that's it ..same person who attends horse show with his kids and builds multi million dollar horse farm
Good job since nobody cares about it at least he does
Maybe he should get busy focusing on Chicago and get it under control and quit threatening everyone over masks.
He cant make laws. the Congress does that
🖕🏼you fix the roads 💯
And yet another one-sided reporting!
Remember this happening when smoking was ruled on..
Seems reasonable.

Any part of his plans say when we can stop wearing masks? What’s the goal for masks and social distancing? How will we know we can stop? Or is this going to remain an open ended thing forever??
