Black Belters Back In Charge
In Montgomery Alabama the Black Belt bloc regained control of the state senate by forcing reconsideration of an amended reapportionment bill for Calhoun County Senator Elvin McCary. The move sets up an unlimited filibuster as amendments are debated. The Alabama House passed two education bills increasing the superintendent of education’s influence on course and textbook selection. A road bond issue of 25 million dollars, with a substitute proposal for 15 million more for county roads, was postponed then advanced by the house in a referendum. The plan would use federal matching funds and support a 50 million dollar road program.
