Tensions between Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker and Republicans in the General Assembly widened Wednesday as State Rep. John Cabello (R-Machesney Park) filed suit against Pritzker’s stay-at-home order, and Pritzker attempted to appeal a Monday decision that let State Rep. Darren Bailey (R-Xenia) out of his stay-at-home order directly to the Illinois Supreme Court. 

Cabello filed his suit against Pritzker’s coronavirus-related stay-at-home order in Winnebago County as a class action. That means it would likely take longer to hear than Bailey’s, which the freshman filed in his native Clay County last week and won in a theatrical hearing Monday.
