Insurgent Senator Challenges Williams Over State Banking Plan
In the senate Williams faces disruption as insurgent forces disrupt his address. A banking bill framed to target two Fremont bankers, Remabers and Oison of Remberg, would require Seattle area banks to hold at least 250000 in capital, threatening many banks. The State Bankers association backs the bill as a major policy push. Direct primary petitions also create friction, with Williams seeking to file them while Lieut. Gov. Coon moves to send them to the privileges and elections committee after the session is set.
