Renaming Mt Pierce

[skiguy]

I am not. Why do you say so?

I don’t think someone whom shot himself in the head makes for the best name for a mountain. Albeit he did have some impressive life time accomplishments.

I don’t think someone whom [sic] shot himself in the head makes for the best name for a mountain. Albeit he did have some impressive life time accomplishments.

I think that most of us have moved on from seeing depression as a sign of weakness and suicide as a sign of moral failing. Just the opposite, Gov. Winant exemplified a moral character and selflessness—placing the public good over his own political standing—missing from so many politicians today. He was the definition of a public servant. Citizens of New Hampshire should be proud of Gov. Winant. If you are going to name a mountain after a public servant is there a deceased New Hampshire citizen more deserving than Gov. Winant?

+1. I’m expecting paper currency to be next on the list.

Considering the $20.00 had been up before for a possible facelift, I'm surprised the Harriet Tubman bill hasn't been mentioned

If not for the current administration, Harriet would be on our twenties now.

I'd like to see MLK, Frederic Douglass, and Booker T. Washington on some bills. But we will probably get the Al Sharpton bill first.
