In this Jan. 26, 2018, photo, people watch a commercial passenger jet fly over Gravelly Point Park as it comes in to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Va., across the Potomac River from the nation's capital. In one of Virginia’s most liberal jurisdictions, political leaders are just saying ‘no’ to a proposal in Congress to name a popular park for former first lady Nancy Reagan. Legislation passed a House committee last month to rename Gravelly Point Park, which sits on federal land adjacent to Ronald Reagan National Airport, for the former first lady. The bill’s sponsor, Georgia Republican Jody Hice, says the change “would be a fitting tribute, given its proximity to Reagan National Airport.” The proposal, though, is not supported by political leaders in Arlington County, where the park is located.
