FAVRE MAY NOT GET HIS OWN STREET IN GREEN BAY (AP) - The three-time Most Valuable Player of the National Football League may not get a Green Bay street named after him after all. The City Council decided on a 7-5 vote Tuesday night to send the proposal to rename part of a street as "Brett Favre Pass" back to committee. The action came after critics said streets should be named after former government officials, prominent business leaders or war veterans -- preferably after they are deceased. "It's not a good idea to name a street after a living person," Alderman Eugene Schmitz said. "I'm not saying he's not a great football player. But what if he commits a crime?" Others disagreed. "I cannot understand these objections," Alderwoman Darlene Marcelle said. "Brett Favre has given a lot to Green Bay and the area. The work he does alone for the Boys & Girls Club shows that." Alderman Guy Zima recommended sending the issue back to the Plan Commission and said the city needs to set a stricter street-naming policy. "We're setting precedents where we'll have a hard time turning anyone away," he said.
