An arbiter has sided with the Pritzker administration’s vaccine mandate for employees at the Illinois Department of Corrections and the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice. The announcement Thursday means 10,000 employees in those agencies will be required to get their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by Jan. 31. Pritzker has had mandates for employees of other agencies for months.
Meanwhile, a federal court panel sided with Democrats over challenges of their legislative maps for the next ten years. The court Thursday ruled against the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the NAACP and Illinois legislative Republicans. The maps are now in place for the next ten years.
