Solons' Meet Decision Due By McKeithen
Gov. John McKeithen to announce Friday whether a special session will be called over the Legislative Reapportionment Commission’s request. He opposes a special session to align with the 1970 Census, preferring redistricting in the fiscal session starting May 10. Rep. Carl Bauer says votes may fail in a fiscal session, but a special session requires only a simple majority. The 1966 federal order is cited as precedent if no reapportionment occurs.
