Adams Fails To Ask Dwinell For Racing Board Job
Concord reports State Sen Benjamin C Adams did not yet request appointment as chairman of the State Racing Commission. Gov Lane Dwinell noted Adams said he would seek the post but was unavailable for a visit. Byron E Redman, current chairman, has offered a verbal resignation to Dwinell and the Executive Council, which is expected to act June 30. Redman’s Rockingham Park steward role may be tied to the resignation. Atty Gen Louis C Wyman ruled the appointment appears illegal due to the track employment ban for state officials earning over 1000 annually. Redman called it a technicality and hopes to take the steward job after resignation is processed.
