	Senate Republican Conference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Conference began to acquire significance, however, with the election of Senator William B. Allison of Iowa as Chairman in 1897, and during the terms of successors such as Senator Orville H. Platt of Connecticut and Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island.
		Senator McNary died in 1944, and the posts of conference chairman and floor leader were separated in 1945.
		The Republican Conference has never been a caucus in the dictionary sense, that is, a "partisan legislative group that uses caucus procedures to make decisions binding on its members." Even during the tense years of Reconstruction, Republican Senators were not bound to vote according to Conference decisions.

		Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno, Deputy Majority Leader Dean G. Skelos and Members of the Senate Republican Conference joined today to call for a comprehensive overhaul of the state's Medicaid fraud detection effort with the goal of dramatically reducing corruption and waste, and increasing the amounts of money returned to taxpayers.
		Senate legislation restructures the detection, investigation and prosecution of Medicaid fraud in New York by strengthening and streamlining the roles of the Health Department and Attorney General, and creates a new Medicaid Inspector General to help uncover fraud, waste and abuse.
		The Senate plan would mean additional savings to county and state taxpayers since savings under the program are automatically returned to local governments who paid the bill in the first place.

		In the past, Republican Senate leaders have thwarted Democrats' attempts to bring the minimum wage to the Senate floor.
		Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada said the "marching orders have been given" by Republican leaders to stop low-paid workers from seeing wages rise.

		By a one-vote margin, Republican Senators agreed to grant Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) the ability to make appointments to influential committees - a power centrists fear will be used to punish them by denying a Senator a seat on a desirable panel if that person opposes the leadership on policy matters.

		But the Maine Republican said it presents the image that the GOP is not a party of inclusion.
