Efforts to commemorate Ronald Reagan’s birthday in California have become the center of controversy.
On Reagan’s 106th birthday, California lawmakers voted to pass the resolution to mark Monday, February 6 as Ronald Reagan Day in the state.
Even though it passed 59-4, the resolution was heavily debated on the Assembly floor.
One member said Reagan’s achievements ought to be balanced by calling out his shortcomings, calling California’s growing homeless population Reagan’s “legacy”.
