Some Ohio politicians are unhappy that President Obama has announced Mt. McKinley in Alaska will go back to its original name, Denali. But Statehouse correspondent Karen Kasler reports that reaction isn't universal in Ohio.
House Speaker John Boehner and US Senator Rob Portman, both Republicans from southwest Ohio, are among those who've shared their disappointment at the decision to take the Ohio-born McKinley's name off the mountain after nearly 100 years.
But at the McKinley Presidential Library and Museum in Canton, curator Kim Kenney has mixed feelings.
"It's a little bit sad to think that the mountain will no longer be called McKinley," she said. "But we're excited too that our president is part of a national conversation right now because that doesn't happen very often."
Not all Ohio natives are opposed to the change. US Sen. Daniel Sullivan (R-Alaska) co-sponsored federal legislation to change the name back to Denali - he was born in a suburb of Cleveland.
