Virginia Assembly Ends Session With Move Toward New Charter
On final day of a special constitutional revision session the Virginia General Assembly seeks first-round approval of a streamlined 18 000 word constitution to replace the 35 000 word document by 1972. The measure splits bond and tax issues from the main article and places tuition grants and anti lottery provisions on separate ballots. Boundary changes for Richmond also face separate consideration. Approval must wait for the 1970 Assembly and voters next year.
