The Election and Election
Uws Committee of the House
has voted to send an amended
version of the Senate bill to
the House floor, and this mea
sure will probably be debated
in the House this week. As am
ended, it would allow appliea
* tions for absentee ballots to be
made ooly by the voter, either
in person or by mail. The one
exception to this general rule
is in the case of someone taken
ill suddenly in the last five
days before the election, and
In that case a relative could
with a doctor's certificate, ob
tain the application.
The Senatorial Redisricting
pot continues to simmer, and
the House is now waiting pati
ently for a Senate committee
to make a decision on the many
different proposes before it
The Currie Bill still seems to
be the frontrunner, although
there is growing support for
some of the other bills.
Higher education and N. C.
State were in the limelight of
the Assembly last week, and
the Senate ?nd House have
deadlocked over the name
change for State college. A
conference committee of three
senators and three representa
tives will be appointed this
week to see if a compromise
can be reached.
The State bond issue proposi
tions - for schools 'MM
roads? are still in coriiMMI
in the House, The ro#?f WW
measure remains without the
support to the governor an<f
the Highway Commission, and
the legislature remains sharply
divided between the two school
bond proposals submitted.
The Appropriations subcop)
mittee is scheduled to finish
its closed sessions within the
week, and this will be followed
by about two weeks of opeq
sesions. The report of this sub
committee is usually the signal
for the rush to adjournment,
and June 1 remains the target
date of both House Speaker
Clifton Blue md Senate Presi
dent Pro Tem Clarence Stone.
I have been pleased by the
continued intensi of the of
ficials and the people of Wata
uga County in the proposed
State legislstioa which would
affect our county, and as al
ways, I urge each of you to let
J>our representative know of
your f?liim on any issue in
which you may be interested.
Sincerely yours,
