Ocean Grove and State Vote Split on Reform Bills
Governor Wilson wins a key party line vote to pass the Geran election reform bill in the assembly despite Hudson Essex opposition. Ocean Grove’s bid for a representative government fails in the senate 18 to 2 as opponents accuse reform of harming local atmospheres. The Eagan public utilities measure passes the Democratic assembly as three-commission regulation replaces the old panel with a governor appointed board.
