Republicans Mull Putting Reagan on Money
They had his name on a building, a ship, and an airport before he died, so it's no surprise that Republicans want Ronald Reagan's face on money now that he's gone.
Here's a surprise: I agree. Put his face on the penny. Lincoln has the five-dollar bill already, and Illinois would surely submit to having another "favorite son" on the penny. Besides, what could be more appropriate? As future generations are reduced to hoarding small change to pay their bills in the face of a national debt that will be left to them to pay off, they can look into the stacks of coins they've accumulated and see the smirk of the man whose fiscal recklessness put them in that position.

Indeed. The governor has already named the non-tollway stretch of the highway after Reagan by executive order; the part from I-290 to Sterling is a tollway and that board would have to approve the name. But it looks like from now on Augustana can tell prospective students to hop on the Reagan and pay a visit. I'm sure that will please them.
