Anyone who chooses to wear a jacket and tie like that should not be making any sort of decision, let alone one as silly as that. Lake Erie is important to Pennsylvania just as it is, and its name has historical significance, including the native Americans who named it that.

I was going to say…having grown up in PA on Lake Erie, I’ll tell you 1) access to waterways have always been important you f-ing idiot 2) Berks Co has nothing to do with said waterways 3) Lake Erie is a freshwater sea and is far f-ing bigger than the PA’s access even including the state park

I guess everything's up for grabs now. Let's rename Lake Superior to Lake Soupy Sales. And while we're at it, Utah is a boring name for a state. Let's rename it to You Go Girl!

Bruh, I grew up in Erie, PA and this is the dumbest fucking idea I ever heard. Also, both neighboring states have Lake Erie coastlines longer than PA

It's just feckless sucking up. "Oh, Trump hates Canada right now and wants to rename everything to Sound More American. If I do the same thing for MY state, then Trump will clearly love ME more than the other Republicans!" He won't, David. Your grovelling will earn you absolutely NOTHING from him.

This is such horseshit. I’m a Pennsylvanian and I’m steamed that this thought even occupies this dude’s brain. This is nothing anyone in the Commonwealth needs or has asked for. Maloney can't possibly have his constituents’ interests in mind. I’m sick of this performative blather.

As an Ohioan I can say this is even dumber than Trump’s Lake Ontario nonsense and waste of government money but if a name change were to be made it wouldn’t be Pennsylvania.

It's not anyone local he's playing to, I'm sure.

Um, PA only has about 30 miles of shoreline, slightly more than Michigan. NY and Ohio have more. And Ontario has the entire other side. Maybe we should have 2 Lakes Ontario?

here’s another idea for this doofus get the fuck out of here, keep walking to the end of the earth, and fuck off some more honestly, USA, why keep electing these morons who don’t do ANYTHING good when they are elected for the people they represent??? so so GD stupid

And the city of Erie, too, no doubt. And in school the kids will learn what about the Battle of Lake Erie? “Don’t give up the ship!”

We need to make fun of people like this to their faces. Would you do business with a man wearing a camouflage suit? Would you hire him to work for you? If someone brought up such a dumb idea as renaming Lake Erie, would you continue to listen to him or would you walk away.
