A Name Change for Nostalgia's Sake? Republican lawmaker David Maloney is pushing to rename Lake Erie to Lake Pennsylvania.
This proposal comes after President Trump ordered the rebranding of Lake Ontario as Lake America, sparking controversy among environmentalists and historians.
Maloney's reasoning appears straightforward: Pennsylvania has only one Great Lake, and it's about time they claimed it for themselves. However, this name change reveals a more complex web of motivations.
