Reorganization Of Prisons Presses Tax Issue Aside
In Harrisburg on June 16 the Senate moved to transfer eight state penal institutions from welfare to justice, delaying two key measures for Democratic amendments next week. The House is to consider the package next Monday as final passage appears likely. Amendments will seek minority participation on prison boards and a professionally led office of commissioner of prisons. The final vote on two bills was postponed due to empty seats, with the Senate recessing to June 24.
