Holiday Honoring Obama Denied - CrimsonPhantom - 03-22-2017 06:57 PM
Instead he will get his name on an expressway.
Quote:An Illinois bill making former President Barack Obama’s birthday a state holiday failed to pass the state’s house of representatives on Tuesday. The bill was six votes short of getting sent to the state senate.
The proposed holiday fell on August 4. State buildings, including schools, would be closed on the day.
“President Barack Obama, he did great work for the state of Illinois and our country, and I believe we need to do our part in preserving that history,” Rep. Sonya Harper, a cosponsor of the bill, said.
Republican opponents of the bill noted that other prominent politicians from Illinois, like Ronald Reagan, do not have their own holidays.
The governor’s budget office estimates that state holidays cost $3.2 million in personnel expenses and another $16 million in lost productivity.

It would be funny to give some perimeters of the wall names of personalities.
