To wear a mask or not wear a mask that indeed is the question, and one local lawmaker thinks you should.

Illinois State Senator Chapin Rose, R-Mahomet, indicates he has seen more and more people stop wearing masks recently. He says it is a civic duty to wear a mask.

Sen. Rose cites studies have shown the effectiveness of wearing masks. He details one recent visit to a fast-food restaurant that left him furious.

As the state starts to reopen more Sen. Rose hopes people will continue to follow the masks and social distancing recommendations.
