Today, the General Assembly joined with law enforcement officers from across the state for the Illinois Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony at the Capitol. It is fitting that on this solemn day, the House adopted Senate Joint Resolution 35 to designate State Route 23 from Perry Road to McGirr Road as the “Deputy Sheriff Christina Musil Memorial Highway.”
“While naming a road in her honor is a small gesture, it is the least we can do to honor the life of someone who helped so many others,” said State Representative Jeff Keicher, who carried SJR 35 in the House. “She set an incredible example for her children and our community. May her memory live on.
“I want to thank State Senator Sue Rezin for carrying the resolution in the Senate and IDOT for their assistance in making this designation a reality.
“Thank you to all our law enforcement and first responders for your selfless service and sacrifice to protect our communities.”
