The debate over whether to name the criminal courthouse after the late Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bernie McCabe continued Thursday during a county commission work session.
At stake in the discussion was whether the countyâs honorary naming rights policy dictates that a person must be dead for at least five years before naming a building after them. County Administrator Barry Burton said that, after researching the issue, that is the policy.
But he said commissioners can wave it if they want to for McCabe, who died Jan. 1 at the age of 73.
