Battle Over Bleckley and Wheeler Seats Delays House Decision
The Georgia house delayed ruling on whether Bleckley County’s Leo Browning and Wheeler County’s Douglas McArthur should be seated after a committee report opposed seating them. Judge Powell’s speech supporting seating reform circulated among members, prompting further debate and postponement to today. Committees were restructured, with abolishments and caps on memberships, as Speaker Burwell announced appointments and noted constraints from the new rules. A Western and Atlantic railroad lease bill and a school book cost inquiry resolution drew attention, along with several bills on women lawyers, county incorporations, and voter registration.
