Bill Against Death Penalty Defeated in North Carolina
Wake County lawmaker Rep. W. C. Harris saw his bid to abolish capital punishment fail by a large House vote. He argued the death penalty is un Christian and called it a grotesque act of violence. Harris will not seek reelection. The House passed a separate measure to let the Insurance Commissioner fix auto liability rates for good and bad driving records. The Senate sent controversial speed limit and referendums bills to the House. Senate panels approved a talent-based school program and a stiffened anti bribery/contests law at the request of ACC Commissioner Jim Weaver.
