N308: Regional Name Act (Debating suggestions)

[Drew]

I could support this effort, as it gets citizens involved via ballot measure in naming our great Region.  It's little things like this that could stimulate activity, which is a priority for all of us.  A customized, non-cardinal name could have more charm than a more generic cardinal name. 

Nickname ideas that I would contribute would include Lincoln and Mason.  Though the latter would work better if we can convince our Southern friends to rename their region Dixon.

[Drew]

I can understand the concerns that the Speaker/Lt. Gov has around this bill, however overall I believe that the implementation wouldn't be too problematic.  And as I said, it would stimulate activity in the region.  I'm willing to support the effort.

[Drew]

Aye

I'd be in favor of a three name shortlist per person, then we can further narrow down from there.

[Drew]

Lincoln
Superior
Mason

I'm good with those three.  I think that we have chosen names that have gotten support from citizens, and while there are other deserving names on the list, we are only able to choose three.  I believe that our constituents will enthusiastically cast their vote for one of these names.
