Senators Try to Kill Omnibus Bond Bill in Talk of Recall
Senators Titus Field and Lamb pressed to halt a Senate omnibus measure that would let Haskell County issue 25000 in bonds funded through the state school fund. They sought Governor Stanley’s recall of the bill, arguing it masked a dangerous provision. The move was tied to suspicions about forfeiting par value bonds and shifting debt to the permanent school fund.
