Senate Helps Durbie to Punish His Enemies

The senate on Wednesday afternoon debated Senator Goodwine’s tipper bill amid strong partisan rhetoric.

After heated exchanges, amendments failed and the measure passed the senate 39 to 10 with Democrats largely aligned with the governor. Absent: O'Brien.
