The Illinois House of Representatives ditched its COVID mask mandate as the Republican Party turned its focus to Mike Madigan's arraignment.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Just a week after ousting bare-faced Republican lawmakers for a third time in 13 days, the Illinois House voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to give the chamber's mask mandate itself the boot.
The measure to amend the House rules and make face coverings optional in the chamber was sponsored by House Majority Leader Greg Harris, who asked lawmakers to remain masked around those who have special health issues that them more vulnerable to the coronavirus. Collins said the choice to wear a mask was to protect her son, who has asthma, and other immunocompromised family members.
"We're real good at taking meaningless votes over the past couple of weeks on mask theater," the Beecher City Republican said."But we're either too weak or too compromised to tackle the epidemic of public corruption that has engulfed this place, that's engulfed this whole state, and it's kept us from doing the work of the people."
