House and Senate Disagree Over Police and Vaccination Bills
The Legislature reviewed multiple measures with little surprise. The House passed the Milliken vaccination repeal and the employers’ liability bill with amendments, while delaying the limited partnership bill. A move to revive Mt Hope cemetery failed in the Senate, and Cambridge alderman elections faced opposition. A bribery probe into Beverly Farms actions was planned, with a stenographer authorized. Various calendar bills were passed to be engrossed or laid aside, and some measures were tabled or rejected as the session progressed.
