Reagan highway vetoed.

[The Dowager Mod]

MADISON, Wis. - Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle vetoed a Republican bill Wednesday that would have dedicated part of a highway in Wisconsin to President Reagan.

The measure would have designated the portion of U.S. Highway 14 from Madison to the Wisconsin-Illinois border as the Ronald Reagan Highway.

Doyle said in a statement that tradition demands highways and bridges in Wisconsin be named only for Wisconsin-born citizens or state residents. Lawmakers in the past have followed that precedent to avoid politicizing highway names, the governor said.


I found it funny that this was considered newsworthy.

Funny how they made this a racist attack on someone not even involved in the debate.

So are you going to answer whether their is a highway or road in Wisconsin named "MLK Blvd" or are you just going to talk about "racist" attacks.

I have no idea if there is one or not.
and what does MLK have to do with Reagan?

Of course Thompson signed that one.
Ah the hypocricy.
