...Government and Community relations office stayed on the sidelines (except for a plea from chief lobbyist Roger Moore before the committee that reviewed the bill), but opposition still surfaced. Delays snagged the bill all along the line until, in the mad rush that annually preceeds adjournment, the bill turned up again in the fray. Someone in the governor's office--speculation centered on legislative aide and Harvard alumnus Neil Lynch-- managed to get the bill returned to the floor of the senate.
