Senate Moves to Block Spending Curbs in Alabama
In Montgomery on June 14, lawmakers debated curbing state spending as the senate resisted placing a major reapportionment bill on special order. A constitutional amendment to give every county a senator failed 52 to 47 in the house, short of the required 64 votes. The rules panel backed a broad special order aimed at closing open appropriations while local bills were cleared from the calendar. An administration reapportionment measure faced postponement, with efforts to advance a 67 senator plan noted but not guaranteed.
