Few politicians make permanent changes.
There is the three-day holiday law sponsored by Congressman Robert C. McClory.
Congressman Phillip Crane passed the bill allowing Americans to own gold.
Of lesser importance is what Governor Dan Walker did in response to a suggestion from a Fo River Grove resident, I believe.
Welcome to Illinois sign saying, “From the People of Illinois.”
Prior to an Walker’s taking office as Governor in 1973, signs at the Illinois border had the Governor’s name.
But Walker had run as “a man of the people.”
Changing the practice right in with the image he decided to project.
