Faith Leaders Urge Missouri Not to Create “Rush Limbaugh Day”

As Missouri lawmakers consider creating a day to honor Rush Limbaugh after his death last month, a group of three dozen faith leaders mostly in St. Louis submitted testimony opposing the bill. Rep. Hardy Billington, a Republican and a Baptist deacon, authored a bill two days after Limbaugh’s death to declare each Jan. 12 — Limbaugh’s birthday — as “Rush Limbaugh Day.”
