I’m glad Chicago is wisely following the state’s timing on opening up.

Did the Mayor make this decision before or after reading ESPN’s (yes ESPN) critical piece about the limbo the Sox and Cubs not receiving any clarity from the City on reopening. Pretty impressive, Sox, Cubs, and Bears ownership have no respect for the Mayor of Chicago and have all leaked “anonymous” displeasures to the sporting media over the past month.
