Legislation headed by Sen. Charles O. Burney would allow two paid hours off for voting if not within two consecutive nonworking hours. Current rules grant two unpaid hours, with no provision for pre or post shift voting. The Ford plant case in Green Island spurred the debate after an Albany jury indicted officials for deducting two hours from pay. District Attorney Elway said about 200 workers lost pay for voting time.
