'Texas needs to lead in naming a major interstate ... after the greatest president of our time'
If one Texas lawmaker gets her way, a section of I-35 in Central Texas will soon be named after President Donald Trump.
State Rep. Joanne Shofner, R-Nacogdoches, filed a bill March 14 that would name the portion of I-35 running through Travis County as President Donald J. Trump Highway. If enacted, it would go into effect Sept. 1. The stretch would remain part of I-35, despite a new name for the county's portion of it.
"The proposed designation honors the 45th and now 47th president of the United States for his 'big, beautiful impact' on the nation and the state of Texas," Shofner said in a news release, referencing Trump's "big, beautiful bill."
Signs marking the new designation would be put up by the Texas Department of Transportation "at each end of the highway and at appropriate intermediate sites," the bill says.
"Texas needs to lead in naming a major interstate, traversing through the greatest capitol of a former republic, after the greatest president of our time," Shofner said.
The East Texas Republican also made headlines recently for a bill that would mandate drinking water to be tested for mifepristone, a drug used to induce abortions, and estrogen.
That's Racist!
In Austin? Good luck with that.
I can think of no better city to name this highway after Donald Trump than Austin, Texas.
Interesting idea but it took TX 30 years to close the border and start sending people back.
Woo hoo!
God Bless Texas!!
Trigger all of the Austin (and, SanAnt) libs! 😂
I lived in Austin in the 90’s. I-35 between Austin and San Antonio is brutally fast and busy
But if someone wanted to start sketching out a future addition to Mt. Rushmore, I wouldn’t be against that.
Numbers are better.
TX has toll roads named after GHW Bush and were before he died.
Me, too! ❤️
Cringe
Traffic should be a lot better since all the hardcore dems would never drive on it.
There's a very good reason for selecting that county. :)
That statement is incorrect.
Good! We must Honor Trump while we still have him. The day will come when many will see his greatness. I predict that when he leaves office—people will carve his face on mountains, towns will change their name to Trump, and upon his death, his face will be placed on the new five dollar coin. And, a powerful battleship-carrier will be named for him, launched by Melania herself. His Tomb and library in Mir-a-lago will be a much visited tourist site. In the years to come Senator Baron Trump will run for office and win the presidency.
Love it, right through Austin.
Vandals will pour rainbow paint all over it every chance they get. It would require a lot of high-resolution cameras.
If Donald Trump is successful in saving this nation, there should be lots more to honor him than just renaming highways.
It should go all way to the border. Laredo!
