Illinoian here to provide additional context.

In 2009, the Illinois State Senate passed a resolution to return Pluto to its planetary status, partly in honor of its discoverer, Clyde Tombaugh, who was from Streator, Illinois. The resolution was a response to the IAU's 2006 vote that reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet.
