Legislature Winds Up Near-Futile Session
The 1983 General Assembly adjourned amid hasty action and Senate redistricting impasse. It passed a higher education bill, created four-year community colleges, updated absentee ballot rules, approved a $100 million school bond, raised the minimum wage to 80 cents, and authorized $1.8 billion in next biennium spending without tax increases. Leadership flaws, press bans on the floor, and a Senate dominated by small counties marked the session, with a looming special session likely to redraw districts per the Constitution.
