Reading Wednesday's Chicago Tribune, I saw an article which implied
that a delegate named Susan Catania voted *against* the Reagan-Bush ticket;
no other details were given, though...I was wondering if anyone had some
information on this.
And why does the name "Catania" sound familiar to me?

Susan Catania is a Republican delegate from the First Congressional District in Illinois. She is also a state legislator from that district. The first CD is on the southeast side of Chicago, and it includes predominantly black and low-income areas as well as affluent Hyde Park (home of University of Chicago). The area is generally liberal; Harold Washington represented it in Congress before he was elected Mayor. Susan Catania ran for lieutenant governor of Illinois in 1982 on a strong ERA ticket. She lost. I don't think she actually voted against Reagan, but abstained. She did say that she won't be working for Reagan in Illinois, but will work doubly hard for the re-election of Charles Percy to his U.S. Senate seat. That's kind of puzzling, since Percy has voted with the Reagan Administration 89% of the time. If she opposes Reagan, why does she support his chief henchman in the Senate? Nevertheless, Catania is only the tip of the iceberg that is women's opposition to Reagan. Mike Kelly
