On Thursday, Arizona’s Senate Republicans couldn’t find the votes they needed to recommend that State Route 260, which runs through rural areas between Cottonwood and Show Low, be renamed “Donald J. Trump Highway.”
Senate Concurrent Memorial 1001, sponsored by MAGA die-hard Sen. Wendy Rogers, of Flagstaff, would have urged the State Board on Geographic and Historic Names to rename the highway that runs through Rogers’ district after Trump.
But one Senate Republican, Frank Carroll, of Sun City West, voted against the proposal, resulting in its failure on a 15-9 vote. Republican Sen. Shawnna Bolick was absent from the vote. But because memorials don’t have the power of law, even if Carroll or Bolick had voted for the proposal, the renaming would remain merely a suggestion.
