Illinois State Flag Debate: Symbol of Change or Unnecessary Expense?

The potential redesign of Illinois’ state flag continues to divide public opinion, critics of the redesign argue it is a misuse of time and taxpayer dollars.

Senate Republicans’ emphasize that the state cannot afford to divert resources to a flag redesign when more pressing issues still remain unaddressed in Illinois.

Illinoisans can vote for one of the new flag designs, select from historical flag designs, or reject a redesign entirely by voting to retain the current flag; voting is open until February 14th.
