A push is underway to name a busy interchange in the Fox Valley after a former state lawmaker.
Longtime Sen. Mike Ellis of Neenah died last year.
Senate President Roger Roth is working on a bill to name the I-41 interchange with Highway 10-441 after Ellis. The Appleton Republican says the interchange is there because of all of Ellis’ hard work. He says it’s only fitting that it should bear his name.
Roth introduced the bill this week, along with one of Ellis’ good friends, Sen. Rob Cowles of Allouez. Roth hopes a committee will hold a hearing on the proposal this month, and he wants the full Senate to vote on it as soon as possible.
