North Carolina Senate Debates Elections Reform and Passes Various Measures
The Senate paused on a reform bill delaying a July Fourth primary action while Senator Lumpkin led a failed bid to force a vote. Passed into law were the Cape Hatteras Seashore Commission creation and land acquisition for the National Seashore Park, a seven member committee to study education for exceptional children, and funding for the Orthopedic Hospital at Gastonia.
