Taylor Leads Listing Bill Fight in Senate
The Senate debated and rejected the repeal of the police listing bill by voice vote. Senator Taylor defended substituting the repeal, noting the bill shifted Democratic votes and Democratic control in Suffolk County, while arguing it infringed city rights. Senator Cheney urged fixing flawed Boston voting lists as a remedy. The measure, imposing up to three months in prison for lodging house or hotel keepers failing to report male residents, moved to a third reading.
