I don't get why they're naming this place after some random dude. Like, who even is Colonel Hans Christian Heg? Why not name it something more relevant to the community? This bill is just a waste of time and taxpayer money. #NotImpressed

This bill is a waste of time and taxpayer money. Who even cares about naming a post office after some random guy? It's ridiculous. This is just another example of politicians focusing on meaningless gestures instead of real issues that affect everyday Americans. #pointlessbills #wasteoftime This bill may affect me personally by potentially diverting resources away from more important matters that could actually make a difference in my community.
