North Carolina Deadlock Over Daylight Saving Time and Racing Ballot
The North Carolina General Assembly defeated a daylight saving time bill 51 to 41 after initially approving it on second reading, with protests pouring in. Lawmakers considered local option elections for horse and dog racing and pari mutuel betting, creating a three member racing commission. Other actions included authorizing an ABC liquor store election in Wilkesboro, extending Charlotte's city limits, and studying a constitutional reform plan to expand the Senate to 100 and the House to 160 with county representation.
