The Presidential Highway
Mark Green and Scott Walker (let's see, what do they have in common?) couldn't wait to issue press releases attacking the gov for vetoing a bill naming a Wisconsin highway for Ronald Reagan.
He was such a great man this shouldn't be partisan, the Rs say.
I guess that's why we have the FDR Highway and the JFK Highway, not to mention the Fighting Bob LaFollette Freeway.
I heard one suggestion that Doyle should have tried a creative line item veto to see if he could turn it into the Reagans Highway, including Nancy Reagan for her support of stem cell research.
It's good to know that Green and Walker have their eyes on the big picture and aren't being partisan. Isn't that refreshing?

What reason other than spite and arrogance does Governor Veto have for nixing this bill? It's absurd.
Duh. We have a tradition of not naming highways after Californians, or anyone else not from WI.
Why do you have a fetish with naming things after Reagan? Is everything so well with the world that putting his name on every imaginable structure is the best use of your time?
Reagan robbed me of social security benefits. His legislation that cut the age for deceased parent benefits from 21 to 18 cost me a lot of money I could have used for education. He was a jerk and I never liked him.
