[SNJ1985]

Nay

Aye

By a 2-1 margin, the budget passes. Napoleon has missed his fourth vote in a row, but I believe the third automatically expels him, and Winfield missed his first vote.

The budget goes to the Governor's desk for his signature or veto.

[Lincoln Republican]

48 hours for the vote fell on Christmas Day.

I do not believe I should be penalized for not voting on Christmas Day.

Christmas Day is a non sitting day, so this bill should have had a 72 hour window in which to vote.

I had planned to vote on the day after Christmas.

The SOAP amendment passed after this vote began, the timing was going to be bad either way.

I realize the amendment passed after the vote began, however, it ended on Christmas Day, a non sitting day.  And the Governor cited me for missing a vote.

I never cited you. I simply told you not to worry about it because I have faith in your activity.

I wasn't about to switch SOAP rules admist a vote. That'd be like changing rules in the middle of a kock game.
