Lawmakers reject plan to rename Utah scenic highway after Trump

Utah lawmakers have backed away from a proposal to rename a scenic highway after President Donald Trump.

Several Republicans supported naming the southern Utah road that connects several well-known national parks after Trump to recognize his move to shrink two national monuments that were fiercely opposed by state leaders.

Democrats pushing back against the idea suggested naming a ramp for porn actress Stormy Daniels, who alleges she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.

Rep. Mike Noel, the sponsor of the Trump highway proposal, said he shelved the idea because he received too much blowback and negative attention from Trump critics.

Pretty much as soon as they scrub the spraypaint off, or right after they replace the roadside sign that someone wrapped a chain around one of the poles holding it up and sped away ... it's not worth the headache and expense for the state to keep dealing with all the signs being destroyed and defaced like they would be. Even in Utah.
