Lyon County Commissioners to discuss naming Justice Center in Yerington after former President Trump

Event Date: 
August 5, 2021 (All day)

The Lyon County Board of Commissioners will discuss whether or not to name the Justice Complex in Yerington after former President Donald Trump, following a failed attempt to rename Old Dayton Valley Road for Trump earlier this month.

The Lyon County Board of Commissioners will meet on Aug. 5, 2021 at 9 a.m. at 27 S. Main Street in Yerington, and can also be accessed via Zoom.

On the docket for discussion is a new proposal by Commission Chair Vida Keller of Silver Springs, who will hold a vote on a proclamation to name the Justice Complex at 911 Harvey Way in Yerington the “Donald J. Trump Justice Complex,” stating one of the reasons is because former President Trump “solved the humanitarian crisis across the Western Hemisphere.”


The proclamation is as follows:

Whereas, Donald J. Trump served as the 45th President of the United States of America; and

Whereas, The Lyon County Board of Commissioners have the authority to name buildings owned by Lyon County; and

Whereas, The Lyon County Board of Commissioners recognizes that President Donald J. Trump significantly reduced federal judicial vacancies by appointing three Supreme Court Justices, fifty four judges to the various Court of Appeals, One hundred Seventy four Judges to the various United State District Courts and three Judges to the United States Court of International Trade; and

Whereas, The Lyon County Board of Commissioners recognizes that President Donald J. Trump worked diligently to secure our borders to protect the citizens of the United States and fully enforced the immigration laws of the United States; and

Whereas, The Lyon County Board of Commissioners recognizes that President Donald J. Trump ended asylum fraud, shut down human smuggling traffickers, and solved the humanitarian crisis across the Western Hemisphere.
