Senate leader recovering from bypass

Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2000 | 9:32 a.m.

Raggio, who has led the Senate Republican caucus the past seven sessions, is expected to be back in plenty of time for the 2001 session.

He underwent the surgery at Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center after last week's physical. His attending physician, Kosta Arger, said the typical recovery period for the operation is six to eight weeks and Raggio should be back to normal by New Year's Day.

Raggio entered the operating room with the observation that he hoped his doctors were Republicans because he didn't want a recount.
