Senator Babcock Attacks Lobbying In State Legislature
Sidney senator Ray Babcock told The Telegraph he is gravely concerned by lobbying influence during the current session. He criticized Lt Governor Charles Warner's veto of the wheat development bill while noting Warner acted within his powers. Babcock favored tighter lobbying rules and even suggested scrapping the lieutenant governorship via constitutional amendment, a measure he doubts feasible now amid delays and high per diem costs. The Telegraph reported mixed farmer opinions on Warner's veto and noted Governor Peterson was surprised by the action.
