Gov. JB Pritzker has repeatedly said he's delegating enforcement of his stay at home order to local governments.
That stance has frustrated some folks who want him to get tougher with violators (although he'd undoubtedly risk making martyrs out of them if he did crack down hard). And the governor's position seems to have emboldened some local officials to defy the governor's order and open up their economies on their own.
But when local governments refuse to enforce his executive order, it appears that trial lawyers may step in and insurance companies might take a walk.
