Lyon County commissioners vote to rename justice complex after former President Trump

Lyon County commissioners voted 3-2 on Thursday to rename the county’s justice complex after former President Donald Trump.

The commission’s chair, Vida Keller, introduced the proclamation less than a month after the board of commissioners considered, then rejected, renaming a county road after Trump following opposition to the cost of the changes.

Keller, along with commissioners Dave Hockaday and Ken Gray, voted in favor of the renaming, while commissioners Robert Jacobson and Wes Henderson voted against the proclamation. Henderson argued that the county needed an official policy on naming buildings before the county could honor Trump in such fashion.

“I am a supporter of President Trump. I think he did good things for this country and for our state,” Henderson said. “I think we may want to honor him in some way or fashion, but I do think we need to have a policy in place first.”

They should have at least waited until some of the litigation and lawsuits were settled before putting TFG's name on anything.

Would be more appropriate. Then again, I don’t live there.
