The state of Illinois has yet to see a budget in place. But state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Crest Hill, hopes that at least part of those unaccounted for dollars will go toward preserving the past in one of Lockport’s most historic locations. McGuire held a town hall meeting in Lockport Sept. 2, speaking with members of the public before later addressing the Lockport City Council. The senator said a bill aimed at keeping five branches of the Illinois State Museum open is headed for a vote in the Illinois House, after passing through the Senate back on Aug. 4. The bill amends the state statute on how the museum and its branches are run, adding in crucial wording to keep Lockport and three other regional sites open. STory CoNTiNUeS oN PaGe 2
