Lefevre Reconsiders Decision Will Accept New Committee Post
Rep Reid Lefevre of Manchester reversed his reluctance and will remain chairman of the new House Health and Welfare Committee. Though unqualified in his view for health welfare work, he faced pressure from colleagues and discussions with Gov Hoff and Welfare Commissioner Wackerman. Hoff noted Lefevre’s removal from Ways and Means would be a loss, while the plan would shift welfare duties to the Social Welfare Department and could save towns about 4.5 million dollars for other uses.
