A plan to name a highway in Utah after President Donald Trump for his controversial decision to shrink two national monuments got a green-light from a panel of state lawmakers on Monday.

The initiative was proposed by Republican state Rep. Mike Noel, who said the idea sparked hundreds of emails to lawmakers.

"President Trump cares about the public lands. President Trump's family cares about the public lands and he cares about Utah and what we're thinking," he said.

Under the plan, National Parks Highway that overlaps multiple roads connecting well-known parks would be renamed after Trump. The initiative was cleared by a legislative committee in a 9-2 vote and now heads to the House floor.

The Sierra Club, an environmentalist group in Utah, opposes the move, saying the president does not deserve the honor for reducing the size of national monuments. "I don't think people are going to be willing to drive on a road with his name on it," said Wendy Garvin, with the Utah Progressive Caucus.

I don't think you should name stuff after a current sitting president. That'd be like building a statute for your current head coach outside your stadium.......

I bet this grinds Romney's fake Utah gears.

Will the people of Pennsylvania follow suit and name the Hershey Highway after Obama?

You haven't hit it big until you've had a gas station in the ghetto named after you...

It would be highly amusing to see SJW's and other lunatics avoid driving on that highway and waste more gas taking a longer route.

Ofcourse they will

Hatch sent in a map proposal for mineral and mining rights right before dickmunch Trump shrunk the size of national parks in Utah, some upwards of 90 percent....

why...mining profits for big companies.

The redrawing of national parks matched Hatches map

Hatch is probably just paying him back

I don't think you should name anything for a person until they've been dead a couple of years.
