A New York State Assemblywoman Wants To Rename Donald J. Trump State Park In Honor Of Heather HeyerIf New York State Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D) has it her way, Donald J. Trump State Park will end up being renamed in honor of Heather Heyer, the young woman who died in the white supremacist terror attack in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Rozic has authored a bill that would, if passed, rename the Donald J. Trump State Park in Westchester and Putnam counties as Heather D. Heyer State Park, in remembrance of the woman murdered while protesting Donald Trumps bigoted white nationalist base.
Why change the name? Rozic eloquently explains that Heather Heyer deserves a memorial a whole lot more than Donald Trump does.
Heather Heyers life was taken away by white supremacists who have been emboldened ever since President Trump took office.
In New York, we continue standing by one another and calling out those who seek to divide us. This activism is not new it is embedded in our states history and re-naming Donald J. Trump State Park would serve as a reminder of the transformative power it holds to carry us forward.
In the wake of the terror attack in Charlottesville, Trump defended the Nazi, KKK, and White Nationalist terrorists solely responsible for the terrorism that ensued there, one of whom murdered Heather Heyer.

But no endowment to maintain it.

He bought it for 2 mill, gave it to the state because they wouldn't let him build a golf course, and took a 200 mill tax deduction.
Now he wants it back? I guess a dog park isn't good enough to have his name on.
And you wonder why he won't release his returns...

Off the same road (per Wiki). Is this the same park?

The tangerine turd did not leave funds for the maintenance of his own park.
POS!
Look at the link in the post above.

As with most things Trump, 'his' park appears to be a whole lot of nothing:
