Senate Rejects Bullock Bid for State Insurance Board
In a bitter special session clash, Senate voting 19 to 11 with one abstention rejected Secretary of State Bob Bullock for the State Insurance Board. Rumors tied former U. S. Senator Ralph Yarborough to the post though Yarborough denies talks. AFL-CIO chief Roy Evans and State Senator Mauzy urged Yarborough, who noted the question of taking the post as “iffy.” Bullock plans to stay in his current role through Smith’s term.
