Soldiers Exemption Bill Clears Senate Vote for Governor
The senate approved the soldiers exemption bill by a strong margin, signaling passage to the Governor in its current form. Civil service reformers and veteran groups criticize the measure, fearing harm to Civil Service protections and questioning its true motives amid political maneuvering and past vetoes.
Governor's veto hinges on civil service reform and veteran opinion
The article argues that when the bill reaches the Governor it will face opposition from civil service reformers and veterans, plus the precedent of his predecessor who called it a covert attack on existing law. It notes the party pledge to resist such attacks has been ignored in the Legislature, and questions whether Governor Ames will approve or veto. Advisors claim a 4732 vote shift could turn the state to Democrats, a political calculation the piece finds limited by higher principles.
