Very Small First Step Human Rights Measure Signed by Gov Blair
Gov James T Blair signed a watered down state human rights commission bill with reluctance calling it a very small first step. He lamented the original form offered broader powers for hearings and investigations into racial discrimination but the Senate substitute limits the authority. He tied the act to his campaign pledge and defended the constitutional basis while noting deficiencies in provision and urging action. The measure now moves through House and Senate considerations with further political maneuvering noted.
