ILLINOIS MAY SOON HAVE AN OFFICIAL STATE SNAKE. 

AN 11-YEAR-OLD FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY RECOMMENDED NAMING THE EASTERN MILKSNAKE TO THE LIST OF STATE SYMBOLS, SO SENATOR DAVE FOWLER OF HARRISBURG DID HIS RESEARCH.

HERE’S SENATOR SCOTT BENNETT OF CHAMPAIGN QUESTIONING THE BILL SPONSOR.

LAWMAKERS APPROVED THE DESIGNATION AND ALL THAT’S NEEDED NOW IS THE GOVERNOR’S SIGNATURE FOR ILLINOIS TO HAVE ITS OWN OFFICIAL SNAKE.
