Political Convention Reports and Banking Controversy
Proceedings discuss the governor’s tenure and residency, with committees reporting for a four-year term and a cap on the governor’s residence. Debates cover banking, chartered banks, and voter referendums on charters, while a NY-like constitution aims for cautious home and foreign commerce balance.
