Senate shifts to criminal code amid race track gambling clash
In Olympia on January 28 the senate moved to substitute a criminal code for the anti race track gambling bill that had passed the house. The code will include race track gambling restrictions as strict as the Hanson bill. Hanson backers failed to refer the bill to public morals committee 21 to 14. The judiciary committee, chaired by Graves, will report first if the criminal code covers the issue. The change delays action on the race track measure for about two weeks and any code provisions would not take effect until June, missing much of the racing season. The house also reconsidered the eight hour law to allow amendments excluding fish canneries from the act.
