At Wednesdayโs Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Board meeting, chairman H.R. Crawford โ a former District Council member and Marion Barry confidante โ told fellow Board members that he has heard talk on Capitol Hill about yanking former President Ronald Reaganโs name off the local airport and returning it to its previous generic moniker: National Airport.
โIt was just a discussion. Weโre not aware of anything specific,โ MWAA spokeswoman Tara Hamilton later told The Examiner.
Itโs clear that the current crop of congressional leaders want no part of Reaganโs grand conservative vision for America, but erasing all trace of his memory from an airport thatโs already been named in his honor is about as petty as you can get.
