Friend --
Responsible government doesn't need to be complicated.
This morning I asked Governor Pritzker to revise his COVID-19
mitigation plan by stopping the use of the "positivity rate" as
triggering mechanism for business restrictions.
The reason is simple.? If our government is going to destroy
people's livelihoods, it should be making that decision based on a
metric that is both meaningful and reliable.? The COVID-19 positivity
rate has neither of those qualities.
You can read my OpEd that ran in the Southern Illinoisan on this
topic here.
If you want to help me promote that OpEd via FaceBook, you can

Thank you for reading and have a happy, safe Labor Day Weekend!
S/F,
Paul
