Illinois is honoring the late State Senator Scott Bennett this week. Governor Pritzker today signed a proclamation ordering all flags at state facilities be flown at half-staff until sundown on Monday, December 19th. Bennett passed away last Friday at the age of 45 from complications of a large brain tumor. He served for nearly six years in the Illinois General Assembly.
