State Reserves Normal Rights In Park's Area
AI OND Va Jan 23 The House swiftly favored a bill ceding to the United States government powers in the Shenandoah Great Smoky Mountain national parkway area while preserving state authority.

The measure, held in escrow at First and Merchants Bank, aims to prevent issues seen in the Hotel Chamberlain case and safeguard state tax revenue from parkway commerce.
