Runyon Sends Calkins Bill to the Senate
Runyon pushes the Calkins bill through the Assembly after a hard-fought session led by Assemblyman William Renyom of Plainfield. The measure would let municipal bodies place local issues on general election ballots. If passed, Plainfield’s Common Council could put local option questions on the next fall ballot. The bill then faces the Senate, with strong odds of becoming law, and its passage would guide the council on issues like saloon questions.
