Senate Move Kills Lobby Control Bill
A House passed lobbyist regulation bill in Illinois was killed in the Senate by a parliamentary maneuver leaving no legislation on the topic this session. The vote to keep the bill alive failed 15 to 28 with four present, as senators Dixon Donnewald McCarthy voted for and Broyles Gilbert Kerr Peters Ziegler opposed. Adlai Stevenson witnessed the defeat as his father faced a personal attack. Springfield also saw the Illinois Crime Commission vote 7 to 4 to reject a proposal to publish investigative files on legislative corruption.
