Conn. Gov. Ned Lamont is trolling his neighbors to the south with a social media post proposing renaming the Long Island Sound to the "Connecticut Sound."
Lamont posted on X, "While the maps are changing, here's an idea..." and tagged New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Lamont's comments are seemingly in reference to a number of mapping companies changing the name of the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America" in response to an executive order from President Donald Trump ordering the government to rename the body of water along the United States' Gulf Coast.
Apple Maps and Google Maps both made the change this week in their mapping software.
While the maps are changing, here’s an idea…????
