Senators clash over pari mutuel betting and county option
A legislative week ended with the pari mutuel betting bill pigeonholed after long debate. The Senate backed a county option path, while other measures passed or stalled, including two year minimum sentences for district judges, funding for county revaluation, amateur radio plates, higher unemployment and death benefits, and a city gas bond bill. A recount method was debated linking county commissioners to affidavits of fraud, echoing 1956 tensions.
