It’s (almost) Ronald Reagan Day in Virginia
By Bob Gibson

Virginia Republicans in the General Assembly have finished one chamber’s endorsement of a resolution making Feb. 6 Ronald Reagan Day in Virginia.

The Reagan Resolution sailed through the House of Delegates
on Jan. 18 by a vote of 95-1.

Only Del. Lionell Spruill, D-Chesapeake, opposed “designating February 6, 2008 and in each succeeding year as Ronald Reagan Day in Virginia.”

The VIrginia Senate has not yet considered it, so sponsor John O’Bannon, R-Henrico County, said Tuesday that he would bring it back next year.

The Senate still can, and will, pass the resolution this year after the fact.

Sen. Dick Saslaw, a Springfield Democrat whose birthday is Feb. 5, said Tuesday that he would vote for the Reagan Resolution.

Del. Bob Brink, D-Arlington, voted for it and said with a smile that he would have liked to trade RR Day as an official day for taking the name off the former National Airport in his district.

A list of 54 GOP delegates tops the resolution as patrons.
