Controversy over CA mountain renaming

McClatchy Newspapers reports on the efforts by California Democratic leaders to name a Sierra Nevada mountain peak after the late environmentalist David Brower.

David Brower, an environmentalist for most of his life, founded and was the director of the Sierra Club from 1952-1969.

Democratic Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer said in a statement that "naming the North Palisade Peak after David Brower is a fitting tribute to a man who loved the High Sierra and all of America's wilderness."

Republican Rep. Devin Nunes - whose district is where the proposed peak lies - is opposed to the renaming because he says: "the radical environmentalists' agenda is hurting my constituents."
