Ronald Reagan Highway

(Baton Rouge, LA) Louisiana State Representative Michael Strain, R-Covington, sponsored House Bill 7 which names US Highway 190 from the Mississippi River to the Mississippi state line after Ronald Reagan. The bill passed the House 79-20 after vigorous opposition by Rep. Avon Honey, D-Baton Rouge. The bill now goes to the Senate.

Democrat Avon Honey must not like Ronald Reagan. U.S. 190 does not run through Honey's district.
