Senate Grapples With Dispensary Graft Accusations
In Columbia on February 7, about a dozen senators rose on personal privilege to denounce an editorial accusing the senate of blocking graft prosecutions due to lawyers for whiskey houses among its members. Senators defended the right to criticize, while others sought to name those not representing liquor interests. The piece notes ties between Columbia lawyers and the legislature, urges continued investigation, and hints at broader public scrutiny of dispensary affairs and attorneys aiding the graft.
