Bay State lawmakers aid Kennedy in delaying presidential bid
Massachusetts lawmakers passed a bill allowing Senator Edward Kennedy to delay choosing a 1972 Democratic presidential candidate until the Miami convention. The plan would create largely uncommitted delegations, with 80 percent elected by district and 20 percent statewide, and would let Kennedy steer support or a potential bid at the convention. Sargent is expected to veto, but the measure may be reintroduced in 1972.

County Audit Finds Wasteful Purchasing in Rensselaer County
A State Department of Audit and Control report criticizes fiscal operations in Rensselaer County. It claims tax levy reductions could have been made in 1971 rather than 1972 and faulted purchasing practices. Examiners say department heads bypassed purchasing agents, bids were skipped, and several purchases were made at excess prices. In Rotterdam a two car crash on Putnam Road killed 19 year old Beth Salisbury and critically injured 19 year old Gary Seigel. The other driver, 60 year old John A. Freer, was not seriously injured. Freer says Seigel’s car traveled in the wrong lane, overcorrected, and collided.
