November 12, 2020 – During a bipartisan virtual press conference, senator Sue Rezin of Morris said that there should be more transparency about why decisions are being made and also that legislators need to be able to have a voice during the pandemic.
“I understand the seriousness of this pandemic and I do not take it lightly, but the reality is we are 8 months into the pandemic and the General Assembly should have a say and a seat at the table and be allowed to have hearings and ask questions,” said Rezin.
Rezin and her colleague representative La Shawn Ford of Chicago are asking legislative leaders to schedule meetings. They say that there are a lot of concerns to talk about, such as extra restrictions on bars and restaurants, and tenants who can’t afford to pay rent due to the pandemic and their landlords that in need of the income.
