Another Approach on 'Monuments to Me'

There's an approach to the 'Monuments to Me' issue other than the McGurn-Stoll law that would say no federal money can be used to name anything for a politician until the politician is dead. That alternative approach is the idea of a Georgia state senator, Robert Brown, who in 2008 suggested that Georgia create a registry, like a do-not-call list for telemarketers, of people who don't want any public building, road, or bridge named after them. The Atlanta Journal Constitution has the details.
