NY Lawmaker Wants to Ban Naming Public Buildings After Felons to Block Trump Station
In response to Governor Hochul’s openness to renaming Penn Station “Trump Station,” State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal is drafting legislation to prevent public buildings from being named after convicted felons. This follows President Trump’s felony conviction and his subsequent takeover of the Penn Station renovation project, prompting Governor Hochul to withhold state funding. The proposed bill reflects a commitment to upholding ethical standards in government and ensuring public facilities are appropriately named. The senator’s district includes a significant portion of Penn Station, adding urgency to his proposed legislation.
