Organic Act May Change
The organic act is up for revisions with two bills before the US Congress to change the operating law of the territory. At issue are the powers of the Governor when he is traveling and the right of the territory to sell bonds. The Governors version of the bill is through the house and on the Senate agenda, the Delegates version of the bill is not scheduled for action yet. This could be the last Organic Act Day if the Governor starts a commission to write a new constitution.
