Legislature blocks move to force liquor monopoly bill hearing
In a tense session the House blocked motions to force committee consideration of a bill creating no state liquor monopoly. Debates centered on hearings in the committee of the whole and a referral from the state affairs group. Rep. Joe Humphrey urged a March 24 hearing as the house weighed transfers of unused funds to support aid, meals, and clothing purchases while limiting job increases. Rep. W. W. Roarks advocated prompt action, arguing tax revenue and teacher salaries could benefit from a state liquor operation. The Finance committee substituted a supplemental appropriation bill of 450,000 for the transfer measure.
