Proxmire and Byrd voting against a Partial Repeal of Taft-hartley seems weird, when Proxmire ran for Governor in 1954 over half of his money came from Organized Labor so I don't see why he would vote against it.

Maybe its me just reading it wrong but:

Quote
In May, Proxmire announced his willingness to hold hearings on continued federal aid to New York City prior to municipal labor unions having their contracts negotiated and the Senate Banking Committee would wait as long as possible to secure information on the labor settlement's impact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Proxmire#Consecutive_roll_call_votes

I read this as not as pro union, maybe Im wrong and if so i will edit the post and have another senator i had on the fence vote against it.


Also remember Harry Byrd was not Robert Byrd, Robert Byrd obviously voted while it was Harry who did not. Remember Harry Byrd father was the one who voted to override Truman veto on the bill


From my understanding, Proxmire voting against it would probably doom him in a Democratic primary and from my understanding with that quote is that he was just against waste, and a Taft-Hartley repeal doesn't effect municpial unions it only effects private sector unions iirc.

Hang on you haven’t done the 1979 gubernatorial elections

The 1979 Gubernatorial elections would be in November, the SOTU is in January.

As I am quite the interventionist I like the picks of Westmoreland and Kirkpatrick. However, Reagan's IRL track record in regards to FoPo has me worried.
