Allen administration told me that when Beyer released his own list of legislative priorities recently, “other than a few things the list could have been made by the Governor.” ^
With the Senate split 20-20 along party lines. Beyer can promote a bipartisan attitude as can Sen. Richard Saslaw, the new “majority” leader and Sen. R. Edward Houck, new head of the Democratic caucus. While an aggressive lawmaker, Saslaw is conservative on economic matters. Houck, who will prob4biy run for lieutenant-governor in 1997, has voted for the Governor’s programs more, often than not and throughout lys political career has sought, conciliation rather than controversy.

to each other. There will be fird-] works to be sure at the upcoming' session, but it just might be they won’t rival the bitterly partisan session of 1995. »
