Hard to answer. But when Washington National Airport was renamed by the Republicans Congress in 1998 after Reagan, it cost $400,000 just to change all the signs in the metro public transportation system. Congress did not pay for the change. The riders had to.
Just like when the democratic govenor of arizona ramrodded a name change for a mountain peak and road system for political reasons. It happens on both sides of the aisle. Anyone else think Tom Clancy had the right idea when he wrote about a plane crashing into a joint session of congress with all the SC justices and most of the other players in washington? Eh, maybe it's just me.
