Earlier this week on Regional Radio News, State Senator Chapin Rose put Governor JB Pritzker on blast for not acting at all to provide effective and quick-result tests to the entire State of Illinois despite such action being available to him in the spring.

The Mahomet Republican is fired up the Governor is side-tracked going on television several times a month with national outlets rather than doing what is best for the State of Illinois. Sen. Rose indicates the ability for the Governor to issue guidance on making the tests available has been available to him since early May.

Sen. Rose is frustrated the Governor continues to make appearances on national networks and believes Pritzker is more focused on making appearances on TV than doing what is best for Illinoisans. He continues to call on the Governor to control what he can control.

An irritated Rose discussed the notion that reducing the positivity rates would give people a reason to have their lives back and youths able to compete in sports and saving elderly in nursing homes cut then diminishes the power the Governor has over everyone right now.

Sen. Rose, each State agency has a Director and Counsel within it, however, the Governor has his own General Counsel, and he found it odd the Governor's General Counsel was the responder to his inquiry, not IDPH. He points out, in Springfield that usually means something has gone wrong and there is information being withheld.
