From Ken McCaffrey, Vice President-
Good day!
I just hand this handed to me by our Chief of Legislative Affairs who happens to be of Welsh extraction and who also knows I am deep into the Celtic Culture. He just said this is a bill I think you need to review. I just naturally thought it has something to do with Security or Workplace Violence and he wanted me to review it for DHS which I do as part of my position, then I read it:
A bill introduced by Representative Raymond Poe (5 ILCS 460/95) Introduced 1/31/2012
Synopsis as introduced:
Amends the State Designations Act. Designates the Illinois Saint Andrews Society Tartan as the official tartan of the State of Illinois effective immediately.
I am not sure which tartan he is thinking of but since he is our local rep I would think he is thinking of our tartan as opposed to any tartans used by other St Andrew’s Societies. Not sure if this will go through as I suspect those Chicago reps may have something to say about which tartan should be designated. I will try to keep you all in the loop. If I hear any more on this.
Still all in all this is pretty cool!
