Legislation Deadlock Looms as Hughes Bills Falter
Albany reports slow progress with final adjournment near as Governor Hughes faced strong Senate opposition to anti gambling measures. Lawmakers doubt extra session success, with direct nominations and Public Service amendments stalled and talk of a prolonged fight over racing bills amid calls for public uprising to back the governor.
