"Republican legislators slipped the Trump highway proposal into the state legislature's annual omnibus bill naming bridges and highways, which is usually uncontroversial, according to The Oklahoman."
This was a quote from the Oklahoman. It would be nice if the news was just reported, instead of putting a nefarious spin on it.

Not really with what road they chose to name. Not many blue snowflakes out there. It would have been a different story if they’d have renamed the stretch of I-35 through Norman. I woulda loved to see that!

Yeppers...

...I know about that road from Boise City to the Texas state line. There aren't even very many farms along that road, and certainly nothing much of interest otherwise.

But, I'll second the motion to name the Norman area of I-35 after Trump.

I'd even go over and set out a lawn chair somewhere along that stretch to "watch the fireworks."

What a waste of money. I don’t care who they are naming it after. Why waste money on signage, etc., use it to fix some potholes instead.

Time was, we lived up in the Oklahoma Panhandle. Back in the days of Governor Nigh, they started talking about "creating" highway 3 as "The Northwest Passage." Governor Nigh (or maybe he was Lt. Governor at the time) visited the Guymon area and the locals took him for a drive on highway 3 up north and then west of Guymon towards Boise City. At one point they passed one of the signs that named 3 as "The Northwest Passage." Someone had absconded with a sign from somewhere else and attached it to the supporting poles of that sign. That "stolen" sign read, "Primitive Road - Travel At Your Own Risk." Nigh got to experience just how bad that highway was.

When they began the work on Highway 3, they started up in the Panhandle instead of starting downstate, which is where they had originally planned on starting.

I miss politicians like Nigh.
