Biennial Sessions Defeated In Senate Vote
The proposed constitutional amendment for biennial legislative sessions failed in the Senate 20 to 15, short of the three fourths required for voter submission. Editors across Greenville and Yorkville call it a misstep and urge voters to decide the issue in coming campaigns, noting potential savings and stability from less frequent sessions and criticizing the 1895 constitutional convention. Local correspondents from Bowman, Mt. Matthews, and Yorkville reflect broad public sentiment favoring biennial sessions, while warning that future elections will hinge on electing Senators who support the change.
