    Sen. Brad Hoylman, of Manhattan, and Assemblywoman Nily Rozic, of Queens, have introduced legislation that would allow the state parks commissioner to give Donald J. Trump State Park a different name.

    In 2006, Trump donated undeveloped land straddling the Putnam-Westchester county border north of New York City to the state for a park. The park was one of dozens closed by the state four years later amid a budget crisis.

    The park never reopened and isn’t included on the state’s official state park list.

    Legislation to remove Trump’s name was introduced during the previous two legislative sessions but didn’t make it out of committee.

    leftist sore losers but a plaque dedicated to Henri Philippe Petain, who handed 10,000 Jews over to hitler, will continue to be a part of lower Broadway’s ‘Canyon of Heroes’

    Did you see that there is some sort of petition to rename the street in front of Trump Tower after President Obama? That tickles my funny bone.

    Maybe they should focus on renaming Fort Tryon Park in Manhattan…
    Named for William Tryon who sided w the British during American revolution… tried to assassinate George Washington…. slaughtered people on “our” side.
    Google him… you will be shocked there is anything named for him.
