Over Michael Loychick Republican representative trying to rename our State Park to Donald J. Trump to a lofty tune of 300,000 for new signs!
Groups on Facebook fighting about it.
What a horrible thing to pull! Loychick is a punk and had only been in office a few months.
Mosquito State Park does not need its name changed to appease loser trumpers!

(693 posts)Is this park in Ohio? Aren't there any famous Ohio natives who would be better choices for a new name? I don't think trump has any connection to Ohio.

"Since then, Mosquito Lake State Park has become one of Ohio's best state parks, best fishing lakes, and has one of Ohio's most important wildlife refuges."

The people who have lived here their entire lives have watched generations camp, fish and boat, and swim here.
Now for some new Republican to come in and try to
change this...in order to appease the trump base is
horrible for the residents who want to preserve our history!

(14,796 posts)If so, why not change it to Deer Tick Park?....
The Rethugs there are going to be pissed after he's disgraced in prison and they afterward want to change it back.
Good luck, Samplegirl. We hope you good guys can nip this foul idea in the bud......

(19,222 posts)One, a bloodsucking curse on humanity that spreads disease and has absolutely no redeeming qualities; the other, a small flying insect that bites people. Decisions, decisions.
Perhaps a compromise could be reached. Keep the park name as is and just rename the restroom facilities after the former guy. "The Former Guy Memorial Outhouse Pavilion at Mosquito Lake State Park" has a certain distinguished air to it, befitting the recipient of the honor.
300 Grand for new signs is bad enough, but has Loychick factored in an annual cost for replacing vandalized signs?
