With several GOP presidential hopefuls trying to compare themselves to Ronald Reagan, he’s been back in the news lately.

Maine Republicans will honor him in a public way on Feb. 6.

Mary Adams, who has led a couple of tax revolts in Maine, is organizing Ronald Reagan Day on the anniversary of his birthday.

She’s promising to organize “an uplifting and enjoyable press conference” to honor the nation’s 40th president with sentiments, memories, quotes and jelly beans.

Gov. John Baldacci signed a proclamation earlier this month to officially make Feb. 6 Ronald Reagan Day.
