Request to Change Harry Reid International to LV International

The Issue

Las Vegas is a world renowned tourist destination with a name that sparks interests around the globe. The controversy surrounding Mccarran's (person) past brings into question naming the airport after another person. The least controversial name would be that of the city in which the airport is located. To designate an airport to someone who is alive and a politician is just a political stunt. 

The recent name change to Mccarran International airport was unanimously decided by elected officials, the Clark County Board of Commissioners. I believe it's the people of Nevada who should decide the name of one-of-the busiest airports in the world. 

Let's take politics and people out of it!

I propose changing Harry Reid International Airport to Las Vegas International Airport. 

The FAA and Board of Commissioners certify this decision on March 16th! Time is running out! We must be heard!
