I think it was a mistake for the 6th Session of the Southern Chamber to pass a bill renaming a county without the input of the local population. Additionally, I think it is especially unfortunate that a county named after a Native American tribe which has historically been treated poorly by Southern State governments was the county which got renamed.  This simple bill should correct that.

I support this legislation. In addition, I believe an amendment should be adopted banning the use of renaming cities by the regional executive/legislature without the consent and support of the city involved. It has happened too many times, I was able to rescind some of them during my brief stint as Acting Governor, but I believe there are still others.
