Legislature Ends Long Session With Weakness In Powers
Boston reports the Massachusetts legislature closed one of its longest sessions, approving some forward looking laws but exposing a core flaw by trying to dictate executive appointments. A life tenure provision for personnel chief Leonard Kelley stalled prorogation, pitting Senate President Powers against Governor Peabody. Major constitutional ideas passed include term limits for governor and statewide officers, two thirds bond vote rule, and home rule for cities, with Senate and House control over reorganizations. Rejected was abolition of the Governor's Council, fueling two initiative petitions to weaken its powers or seek a constitutional convention. Despite talk of pari mutuel racing reforms at fairs, broad reform was limited.
