Infamous Eastern Span to be Named after Infamous Western Man?

And here we thought "Emperor Norton" was just a decent indie music label...SF-based cartoonist Phil Frank (perhaps best known for his Farley series in the Chron) is spearheading a campaign to name the new span of the cash-strapped Bay Bridge after the self-declared Emperor Norton I. Frank has so far garnered the backing of a handful of local historians, as well as soon-to-be-elected-Board-President, Supervisor Aaron Peskin (the Board of Supes is set to consider the issue next week).
