Longest Legislative Session Ends the Commission's Membership
The session granted the state motor vehicles chief broad powers to regulate the auto industry and set rules for egg distributors. It refused to reapportion, rejected absentee voting abolition and a statewide liquor vote, and did not adopt a new motor vehicle inspection program. It also turned down a highway safety point system and a law against the Highway Patrols whammy tactic. The legislature declined a state minimum wage, kept the Right To Work Law, enacted penalties against illegal barbiturate traffic and child molesters, created county medical examiners for violent deaths, and tightened controls on health policy cancellations and small loans. Tax battles centered on tobacco levies, with opponents ultimately winning as tax needs were trimmed from 52 million to 20 million due to improved conditions and spending cuts. The piece ends with unrelated notes on lotus, earth crust composition, and U S surplus wheat sales to Yugoslavia.
