We won the majority vote but did not have a House Majority of 48 to pass.

More later!

Now what???
The house vote was 47-45 for with 2 absent.
It required 48 to pass.
One Rep wanted to change his vote but was not allowed to.
Will it be brought back???

3 cheers for Rep Nelson...He spoke for the bill.

 

[rap]

i think it was iverson who wanted to change his vote? i wonder if he wanted to change from no to yes??? plus there were two senators absent. we need to email our reps because i think they can vote again within 24 hours..

 

[djleye]

I just heard from my rep. Alon Wieland. I have been in touch with him an awful lot since he wasn't sure where he was going to vote.(he ended up voting yes!!!). He said it will come up again tommorrow since two were absent.

 

[rap]

EVERYONE needs to contact your reps!

 

[Dan Bueide]

Whoever gets the roll call vote first, post the YEAS and NAYS. All YEAS need a contact thanking them for their vote and all NAYS need a request to change their votes. This needs to happen quickly.

 

[Blair Thoreson]

SB 2048 failed the House of Representatives by one vote this afternoon. I voted 'no' on the bill. However, I have met with Reps. Nelson and Porter, and I will move to reconsider the action during tomorrow's floor session.

 

[rap]

you can be sure there will be a ton of emails from the commercial side and the farm bureau still, we all need to send some emails and get this passed tomorrow

 

[Dan Bueide]

Blair, thank you for your note and your motion tomorrow. As I'm sure some of the YES'S may also reconsider, I'd ask that you talk to those who also voted NO and ask them to reconsider. Thanks, Dan

 

[rap]

thanks for the communication blair!

 

[KEN W]

Thank you Rep Thoreson.

Where can we see who voted which way?

 

[Blair Thoreson]

Dan-I've spoken to several others who voted 'no' and will continue to work towards reconsideration. I know that others here are doing likewise.

I had intended to vote green for 2048 and when it comes up for reconsideration i will be supporting 2048.

Thanks for your support Ron and Blair

 

[NDMALLARD]

I just sent e-mails to the reps. Everyone get on board tonight and respond. You will be kicking yourself for two years if you fail to act NOW!!!!!!!!!

Blair, Ron;

Thanks for the pledge to set things right.

I was listening today & it is about as Bad as Being a Sioux Hockey fan :roll: Nothing like waiting till the last second to win or lose.

Thanks to all the Reps that are here & reading & hopefully understand how important this is to us - Sure it was not a ideal Bill (especially as ammended) But it is a good starting point & could be a very good Bill - Thanks for trying to keep it alive.

I don't know how you folks can take the ups & downs of all this??? This is the 1st time I have followed & participated in this level of Government. I got to say say, it is weird & amazing - that generally the cream can rise to the top in such a system :-?
