Happy Birthday President Reagan!

Posted by Eric at 5:14 pm. Filed under: General

Sparks fly in Legislature over Reagan tribute:

A resolution honoring the former Republican president’s birthday caused partisan friction in the state Senate Thursday and passed only after it was retooled to mention the fact he never won Minnesota and tax increases that occurred under his watch.

It said, among other things, that Reagan “worked in a bipartisan manner to enact his bold agenda of restoring accountability and common sense to government which led to an unprecedented economic expansion and opportunity for millions of Americans.'’

The revised version ends that sentence with “not paralleled until the Clinton presidency,'’ a nod to the two-term Democratic president. Democrats also added lines about tax increases under Reagan and hold up his presidency as “a lesson to the current administration in the areas of bipartisanship, economic recovery, and the need for world support in foreign initiatives.'’
