Senate reforms urged to end seniority and curb filibusters
National Planning Association calls for abolishing congressional seniority in committee chairs and tightening Senate rules to speed legislation. Open debates set main principles, with power to appoint chairs, party policy committees, and stricter caucus discipline. Proposals include limited debate, DC self rule, and joint hearings to reduce wasted time. Special public sale notices follow in Raleigh County, WV.
