        Agreed, no politician should be allowed to name things after themselves. If they do good things, leave that up to others to make that decision. If you want your name on something, do good things so others want to memorialize your actions.

          Reminds me of that Michael Scott quote:

          When I retire, I- I don’t want to just disappear to an island somewhere. I wanna be the guy who gives everything back. I want it to be, like “Hey, who donated that hospital wing that is saving so many lives?” “Um, well, I don’t know. It was anonymous.” “Well, guess what.” That was Michael Scott." “But it was anonymous. How do you know?” “Because I’m him.”
