“Illinois, like the nation as a whole, has reached a point where, by and large, all the people who were immediately eager to get vaccinated, have already been vaccinated,” Gov. Pritzker said. […]
Pritzker said health officials in the state have been expecting this to happen for “some time now.” Press release…
Today, State Senator Sue Rezin (R-Morris) joined area veterans’ groups to demand more accountability and actions regarding the COVID-19 outbreak at the LaSalle Veterans’ Home, the deadliest outbreak at a state-run facility in Illinois history.
“The tragedy that occurred at the LaSalle Veterans’ Home shouldn’t have ever happened,” said Sen. Rezin. “The residents of the LaSalle Veterans’ Home served and protected our nation when we needed it, but when they need us to serve and protect them, our state failed them miserably.”

(The Center Square) – When it comes to the post-pandemic recovery, few sectors see challenges like those in the adult entertainment industry, where nothing is so anathema to social distancing as a lap dance.
But if the Spanish Flu epidemic of a hundred years ago is any model, good times are forecast for the years ahead – even if now, like then, the roaring twenties must first pick up steam.
Still, Cabaret and strip clubs alike are getting back to business in Illinois. From the Lucky Horseshoe in Chicago to Déjà Vu in Springfield.
Deadline for ethics package extended
The deadline for the Illinois Senate to take up a package of ethics reforms and send it to the House has been extended another few weeks.
Senate bills had a deadline to pass the legislature weeks ago, but lawmakers have extended the deadline for Senate Bill 4 three times now.
The omnibus measure regulating lobbying, lawmaker disclosures and more now has a May 21 deadline for Senators to pass to the House.
The deadline to pass bills to the governor with simple majorities is May 31.
Strip clubs look forward look toward recovery as vaccination rollout continues
From the Lucky Horseshoe in Chicago to Déjà Vu in Springfield, cabaret and strip clubs alike are getting back to business in Illinois.
It’s another one of the industries hard hit by the pandemic, but slowly adult entertainment establishments are bouncing back.
Springfield’s Déjà Vu is one of the adult clubs now starting to welcome back patrons. Owner Larry Troche says he is not requiring vaccinations for his customers, staff, or dancers, but he is encouraging them.
And he says masks are required, at least for now.
