To the people reporting this: Yes, it's a prank by the governor. But he really did so it, even as a prank, and the news covered it. So the story can stay.

Absolutely top notch bit of trolling.
This is great. Maybe officials from all over will rename places had make google add all the different names as per their policy. Imagine taking an interstate road trip and having place names keep changing on google maps as you cross state lines.
There has also been no word on if the state of Indiana was consulted.
Glad to see the reporter having some fun with this.
No mention of Ohio. Like it should be.
I swear there was an episode with a similar argument in The Twilight Zone.
