Working for Illinois Caucus

97th District Democratic State Representative Harry Benton has received some feedback fro his recent announcement of two bills that would ban flying the American flag upside down on government property. While there has been words of support, Benton said he has received a fair amount of negative responses, mostly from angry constituents and Republican officials.

Benton said that revisions to the bills are possible.

Benton said the bills are in response to a Homer Township official ordering that the flag outside the Homer Township offices be flown upside down in response to the conviction of former President Donald Trump last month.
