Potential points of contention

  • Resource allocation: Some may question whether legislative time should be spent on ceremonial designations versus substantive policy issues

  • Maintenance and signage costs: Though typically minimal, there are associated expenses for creating and maintaining memorial highway signage that come from public budgets
