Governor’s book commission confirms delay and quorum clash
Fourteen Mills-Adams Co members left at ten for governor appointments to the state school books commission. Lacking a quorum, the Senate adjourned until four, with no action expected this week. Appointments were telegraphed to Executive Click Finharty for re submission as Attorney General Boyle urges the governor’s return to finalize within the state. Protests and strikes mix with doubts over who will be named, including accusations that some nominees are book trust allies.
