State legislature braces for special session on rail laws
Special correspondence from Lansing reports Gov. Pingree seeks to move all railroad measures out of committees for early debate, with a proposed July special session if needed. Legislative steering committees prune bulky bills, while a noted constitutional amendment on home rule stalls in the House. Further action covers fish mesh sizes, tax office abolition debates, truancy law tweaks, convict labor, Mackinac island park transfers, and park funding.
