Speaker Sees Hughes Spurred by Tully Reapportionment
Albany June 5 report that Speaker Wadsworth believes his interests and the Wadsworth family are harmed by the Senate caucus Tully plan and may seek amendments in the Assembly. He fears a new reapportionment could cost him influence, with Livingston County paired to Steuben and a potential clash with Moreland. He consulted allies and Governor Hughes but faces a resistant Senate and tight session. The Tully plan would place Livingston with Steuben, shift Steuben with Chemung, and force district realignments across Genesee Wyomin g Livingston Allegany, impacting Cassidy Wilcox Hinman and Allies. Senate leaders view no need to change the plan. passage before Friday appears likely if amended.
