That's putting it lightly

The latest

Lightfoot acknowledges differences with Pritzker during pandemic cuz she don't like to be told what to do. P.S. he's the governor, do what he says.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot acknowledged Wednesday that she and Gov. J.B. Pritzker have disagreed while waging war against coronavirus, but they’ve tried to keep those differences in house.
While Lightfoot was on a brief spring break trip with her daughter, Pritzker was pressuring the mayor behind the scenes to call off the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which the mayor did after cutting her vacation short.
When Pritzker closed schools across the state the first time around, he did it hours after Lightfoot vowed to keep Chicago Public Schools open.
When the decision was announced, Lightfoot did not join the governor. She told aldermen during a conference call that she was worried about security, but would have to live with Pritzker’s ruling and that the order was likely to drag on for longer than the April 7 deadline the governor set.
She was right. The governor ended up canceling in-classroom learning for the remainder of the school year, once again disappointing the mayor of a city where remote learning is more difficult because of the digital divide.

    The governor might as well begin his press conferences with "Once Upon a Time". Throughout he cites, data and science. He keeps telling us the "sky is falling" and it never does. The citizens of Illinois deserve an honest accounting. When you mention statistics, breakouts between elderly with underlying conditions out to be separated from those with no other conditions, also include those who recovered. He's a liar, and it has to be more than coincidental that all the states remaining closed or extending the shutdown are democrats.

    The governor is higher than the mayor. The president is higher than both. 🤓
