LLINOIS LAWMAKERS ARE CONSIDERING SEVERAL WAYS TO HONOR FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.
ONE PIECE OF LEGISLATION MARKS AUGUST 4TH, OBAMA'S BIRTHDAY, AS A SPECIAL DAY TO COMMEMORATE THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT. ANOTHER MAKES THAT DATE A STATE HOLIDAY. GOVERNOR BRUCE RAUNER WAS ASKED ABOUT HIS THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT.
ADDITIONAL BILLS WOULD NAME I-55 AND THE TRI-STATE TOLLWAY AFTER OBAMA.
