Bill For Dividing Surpluses Is Dead
In Richmond the Virginia House of Delegates killed the Coburn bill that would have split half of state treasury surpluses on June 30 1946 among counties and cities on a per capita basis. The 45 to 36 vote fell short of the required majority for appropriation bills, despite earlier support in a 53 member caucus. Debate featured Delegate Quesenberg opposing the measure and E Floyd Yates defending it as planning aid, while opponents warned of an incoming administration being bound by current acts.
