A bill which would create permanent memorials at Arizona’s state capitol honoring both conservative activist Charlie Kirk and late investigative reporter Don Bolles has sparked a debate among lawmakers.
Senate Bill 1686, sponsored by Republican Sen. Jake Hoffman, would rename the Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza to the Wesley Bolin and Charlie Kirk Freedom Plaza and authorize memorials for both Kirk and Bolles to be placed near the state capitol building. The Arizona Legislative Council would oversee final design approvals and the placement of the memorials.
