Mark Beaubien talks with Bill Brady at a Nunda Township GOP Picnic

This article, which originated in the Daily Southtown and was reprinted by the Chicago Sun-Times, fails to mention sponsor Mark Beaubien's name.

One of the final bills that State Rep. Mark Beaubien passed, signed after his death, was one mandating backseat belts.

Kids who are in their teens have been trained to use seat belts in the back seat since birth, so the only problems will arise with us older folk who don’t like being told what to do.

In any event, when I read the article on December 27th about the effective date of the legislation in the Chicago Sun-Times, I noted that Beaubien’s name was not mentioned.
