A state lawmaker is sounding off on Governor JB Pritzker's handling of the high school sports situation.
On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, State Sen. Chapin Rose told Regional Radio News Governor Pritzker not allowing high school sports to be played is the latest example of him moving the goalposts and now shifting to a focus of protecting people from themselves.
According to the Senator, we are moving past providing nursing homes and assisted living facilities with the capacity to deal with COVID and we are starting to cause real harm to people.
Gov. Pritzker says he is listening to scientists and watching the science of the situation but Sen. Rose contends the science shows outdoor transmission is almost non-existent. He calls the Governor "a record player".
Sen. Rose believes parents and kids need to be able to decide for themselves if they want to play and not have the government intervening for them.
