A group of Wyoming politicians have called for the state to create a sizeable new national monument akin to Mount Rushmore. According to a local media report, a bill recently put forward in the state's legislature would form a $40,000 task force to develop the ambitious undertaking that is aimed at honoring "important historical American figures" from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The group would be responsible for coming up with a concept for the commemorative work, which has been dubbed the 'Monument to America,' and is envisioned as being "similar in size and scope" to the massive Mount Rushmore in neighboring South Dakota.
