Does naming it after Senator Bond mean that the new Paseo Bridge replacement will come to be known as the Chris Cross?

What's sad is the local Missouri Workforce Development has stated they will be giving preferential employment to blacks and women for this bridge job. It was mandadted internally. The statement was made that if you are a white male and made over $12,000 last year, you will be rejected.
Sounds like Obama has already started in at the "White" House.

I don't have any beef with former Sen. Chris Bond but I think we should not name any roads/bridges or other monuments after anyone till they been dead for 50 years or so.
By then we would have found any ghost in their closets or any they may have set free while they were in power.
