Bill to rename park for Trump introduced in House [View all]

Freshman state Rep. Mike Loychik formally introduced a bill to rename Mosquito Lake State Park after former President Donald Trump.

The two-page bill calls for the state to spend $300,000 — $150,000 annually for the next two years — “to erect suitable markers” renaming the park.

Loychik, R-Bazetta, sent a March 12 note to fellow House members and their staff stating he was seeking co-sponsors for the bill and gave members until March 19 to contact his office.

“This legislation is meant to honor the commitment and dedication that our 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, bestowed upon the great people of Trumbull County,” Loychik said at the time in a prepared statement. “I witnessed the unprecedented and astounding support that President Trump received from constituents across the 63rd District and on Mosquito Lake State Park. This enthusiasm for our former president was also historic throughout the state of Ohio last November as he pushed for initiatives and policies that (were) well-received with my constituency and the state.”
