New York Governor Kathy Hochul has suggested the possibility of naming Penn Station after Donald Trump in exchange for much-needed renovation funding. While she acknowledges the potential financial benefit, this idea has sparked outrage due to Trump's controversial past, including numerous legal issues and felony convictions. Critics argue that honoring someone with such a tarnished reputation diminishes the legacy of Penn Station. Hochul's comments reflect the difficult position faced by leaders in purple states who feel compelled to engage with Trump for state welfare, even as they wrestle with the moral implications of doing so.
"If he puts $7 billion into it? Who knows? It would not be my favorite thing to call it, but it'll save us $1.3 billion I'm not planning to spend."
"Also, a man convicted of 34 felonies in our state; sued for business fraud by New York Attorney General Leticia James and ordered to pay hundreds of millions."
