Sen. John Gallus, a Republican from Berlin, was among 17 Senators voting in favor of a constitutional amendment – CACR 12 - that would have given voters the chance to change the state constitution and give the Legislature more control over public school funding.
But while eight North Country representatives also voted for it in the House Wednesday the amendment did not have the three-fifths majority needed.
Seven North Country representatives voted against it and one was excused from voting.
