    Columnist and local broadcaster Mike Matson spoke Monday at the Historic Resources Advisory Board meeting about an initial proposal to rename the Union Pacific Depot in honor of former legislator, city commissioner and retired physician Roger Reitz.

    “We started doing some due diligence and quickly realized, after visiting with some other folks involved with history, that to actually change the name of the depot might be a bridge too far,” Matson said.
