Jay Nixon State Park could lose name

ST. JOSEPH (AP) — Two Republican lawmakers are pushing legislation that would remove former Gov. Jay Nixon's name from a new park in southeast Missouri.

The St. Joseph News-Press reports the Missouri Department of Natural Resources revealed the park in early January and named it the Jay Nixon State Park, just as the former Democratic governor was finishing his final term in office.

Republican Sen. Gary Romine said his constituents are upset the department's bought the land in 2015 with money that is meant to help restore of areas affected by lead mining. Romine said the park is not one of those areas.

Romine said while lawmakers can't reverse the purchase, he can try to change the park's name.
