It cites Secretary Hay and the British Ambassador extending treaty ratification time and criticizes broad lawmaking inefficiencies, Hawaii governance issues, and the need for a skilled bill editor and clearer electoral reform plans. It also mentions pending actions by committees on direct senatorial elections and Idaho mining labor investigations.
