Rhode Island 1966 Session Review Brings Mixed Progress
The Rhode Island General Assembly's 1966 session enacted reforms on obscenity law enforcement, drunken driving tests, and pollution controls while expanding regional services and funding for infrastructure. It also advanced health and loan regulation, capped local taxes on manufacturing inventories, and approved major highway and higher education spending pending voter approval. Debate over municipal employee transfers and two new Superior Court judges stalled, leaving justice delays unresolved.
