Hall of Reagans
They Dream of Disney?
The suburban Pittsburgh Upper St. Clair School District has settled on how they will honor Ronald Reagan after three years of discussions. They’d pondered naming a school or a theatre after the late President, but have decided on a “Hall of Presidents.” Just what the Hall will contain isn’t clear, but the Board President says they may be able to fill it for nothing:
“”We’re hoping that Congressman Tim Murphy, who strongly supported the memorializing of Reagan and offered to find federal funding [on the earlier project] and [state] Representative [John] Maher can help us. It’s possible, I think, the net cost to the district will be zero.””
Ronald Reagan might not approve:
“Local officials who once saw the local voters as boss now look to Washington, D.C., before considering a move. And what once was a Federal helping hand is quickly turning into a mailed fist.“
