Would Change Election Laws Aims Shorter Ballot
Richard W. Reading of Lansing submits 14 suggestions to Gov. Green's committee on revising election laws. Proposals include removing presidential electors' names from party columns, clarifying ballot rules, moving some offices to the regular city ballot, shortening and standardizing notice periods, and redefining residence for registration. Reading cites past split-ticket votes and registration ambiguities as why changes are needed. He also calls for expanding petition signatures, adjusting filing rules, and aligning registration deadlines with election dates.

No plows have been used this season, though equipment remains ready. Loggers fear insufficient snow will end operations soon as many have finished cutting and await snow and cold to haul logs to rail sidings.
