Chronicle segment on State polka, insect and tartan.

Last year marked the 40th anniversary of the Franklin 2nd Grade class that passed Legislation to make the Ladybug the official state bug of the Commonwealth. And a few weeks ago, the Franklin legislative delegation presented their commemorative Ladybug to the town for this occasion.

Rep. Roy participated in the segment to remind everyone that they can play a direct role in their government and to honor the work of the students from 40 years ago.
