The community is welcome out to Clinton High School today to watch the Governor of Illinois sign legislation that will be 'monumental' for the DeWitt County community.
 
A special ceremony this afternoon is scheduled for 2 pm at Clinton High School.
The Governor's arrival will be welcomed by Exelon employees and the Clinton High School band performing. 
 
Speakers at today's rally in the gymnasium of Clinton High School will include Clinton High School student Kevin Toohill, Dave Kolata of the Citizens Utility Board, Vice President of Exelon's Clinton Site, Ted Stoner, as well as Representative Bill Mitchell, State Senator Chapin Rose and other legislators. 
 
Also speaking will be Chris Crane, CEO of Exelon and Governor Bruce Rauner will speak last followed by the signing of the legislation. 
 
Officials at Clinton High School indicate admittance to the ceremony will not begin until 1:30 pm this afternoon and all attendees are asked to use the High School's main entrance on the north side of the building.
