Theological note: The measure is a commemorative naming of public places honoring a former public servant. Scripture gives general warrant for honoring faithful service and for ordered public life, but the bill does not itself restrain or advance a moral harm. Its relevance is limited to ordinary civil honor, not to a substantive moral verdict.
