Governor Tony Evers signed a bill into law today (Wednesday) designating the “Michael G. Ellis Memorial Interchange” in Winnebago County. The interchange of I-41, U-S Highway 610 and Highway 441 honors former Senator Michael Ellis, who served in the Wisconsin Legislature over four decades. Ellis died unexpectedly last year but was able to see this project that he championed finished before his passing. Evers called Ellis a “fierce advocate” for his constituents during his 44 years in the legislature and says this commemoration honors his career of service to the state of Wisconsin.
