Mr. Fife Posted August 4, 2018 at 07:10 PM Share Posted August 4, 2018 at 07:10 PM Illinois celebrates first official 'Barack Obama Day' Illinois government offices remained open Saturday as the home state of former President Barack Obama commemorated his birthday under a new state law. The bill marking Aug. 4 as “Barack Obama Day” throughout the state was enacted without making the date a full-scale holiday. The Illinois House narrowly rejected a plan to make Obama’s birthday a state holiday amid worries that the cash-strapped state could not afford to give state state employees another paid day off. So, instead of getting a day off, the state employees had to work late on a weekend.

Where did you see that?As far as I know, it is a commemorative holiday....same as February 6th...(Ronald Reagan's birthday). Seems like a nice gesture that does not cost the state much money.....cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragos111 Posted August 5, 2018 at 06:44 PM Share Posted August 5, 2018 at 06:44 PM I read about that. The headline said, "People in Illinois celebrate first Barack Obama day!" Hmmm... I saw nobody celebrating anywhere. Looked like just one more day of the week to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they normally open?My understanding is that state employees were not granted a paid holiday, so it was just a normal workday for those that worked. I don't think anyone was forced to work on a day that they would have had off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fife Posted August 5, 2018 at 11:22 PM Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 at 11:22 PM Don't shoot the messenger, I'm only commenting on a news story. If you have information about how the great State of Illinois honored their native son, on his birthday, in gratitude for his 8 years of service, please post it here. Frankly I'm dissapointed they weren't able to come up with anything better, all things considered and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
