Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- One Illinois lawmaker wants a new state flag, and he wants you to design it.

State Rep. Daniel Didech is pushing to create a state flag contest that would have people across the state design a new state flag by 2023.

He’s not saying what’s wrong with Illinois’ current state flag.

But, don’t be in a rush to get out the crayons and paper, Didech’s proposal hasn’t been assigned for a vote yet.
