George Allen and Democratic Lt. Gov. Donald S. Beyer Jr. As a result, Beyer, whose wife has roots in Scranton, didnt get invited to a luncheon sponsored by Allen to honor former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Democrats control the House and the Senate in Richmond and they killed virtually the whole of Allens program that included huge cuts in income and business taxes.

Thatcher was in Virginia to celebrate the 302nd anniversary of the founding of William and Mary, the nations second oldest university. While Allens luncheon for Thatcher was under way, Beyer had an egg salad, sandwich from the Capitol snack shop. He shrugged off what an Allen staffer later said was an oversight in not inviting him. He said: Its his house and he should have the right to invite whomever he wants.
