Democrats Weigh Curbs on State Boards in Assembly
A Democratic committee at the Denison Hotel drafted bills to cut or abolish several state commissions and to localize control of utilities. Proposals include grouping health boards under the health department and shifting highway powers to counties while preserving some state oversight. Other measures would redirect inheritance and gasoline taxes to counties or general funds. Senator Walter Chambers is expected to introduce the tax repeal bill.
