Senate passes Alexander Prohibition section into law
The Senate action on the Alexander Prohibition section to the general tax act indicates it will become law, since the governor cannot veto a single section of that bill. Attorney General Hart notes the veto only applies to appropriations, so the measure must be approved or disapproved as a whole. If agreed, the governor is unlikely to veto the entire tax act to block prohibition, making enactment probable after adjournment.
