Word breaking this morning that former Senator Howard Baker has died
Baker first came to public attention during the Watergate scandal when he served on the Senate investigation committee. He is best know there for coining the phrase “What did the President know and when did he know it”
After serving 3 terms in the Senate he went on to help restore balance to the Reagan White House during the Iran Contra scandal.
He was a solid Republican but was also willing to compromise and reach across to aisle in an effort to make things work best for everyone. He is the kind of Senator that we need more of today.
