House and Senate clash over home rule bills in unusual week
In Columbia a split legislative week sees the House in session while the Senate remains at home. A fourth home rule bill version passed the conference committee after a long Sunday session, with single member districts for county councils proposed. Leaders voiced optimism for eventual passage. The Senate will reconvene May 17 or later, depending on calls by leaders, as debates on local government continue.
