State expenses probe advances in Senate amid battle over bill
In Montpelier the Senate approved investigations into state expenses. The body reconsidered a Friday vote to table Amey’s resolution, moved it to a third reading, and then passed it after suspending rules. Debate highlighted a looming clash with the House though some members favored prompt action to start the inquiry. The session also amended the Board of Control bill, shifting roles within the administration, sending it back to the House for concurrent action or disapproval. A separate reference committee may be appointed as the House refused to concur in Senate changes raising jailer fees from 65 to 85 cents, a partisan fight foreshadowed in upcoming days.
