Republicans Still Upset Over Mapping Process

The city of Chicago and its police union are in a fight over a COVID vaccine mandate.

 

The city wants officers to tell the city what their vaccination status is, the union has urged its members not to comply. And if officers are ordered to stay home, the union says there might not be enough police to patrol the streets. If that’s the case would the state of Illinois step in and help, Governor JB Pritzker says he’s ready to assist if asked.

 

 

For now Chicago Police officials are saying cops that don’t comply with the mandate can face discipline up to and including termination. Police officers can submit to twice a week testing through the end of the year to avoid taking the vaccine.
