  • The Governor announced a plan to crack down on public demonstrations that become unruly or violent and asked the Legislature to act quickly to introduce and pass a bill.
  • The Clemency Board refused to restore the civil rights of Desmond Meade, leader of the group that created Amendment 4 restoring voting rights to felons who complete their sentence.
