[Pericles]

This needs a sponsor.

[Pericles]

24 hours to object to Senator Tea Party Hater sponsoring this bill.

[Pericles]

Senator Tea Party Hater is recognized as the sponsor and has 48 hours to speak on this bill.

[Pericles]

There were 2 nay votes in the House so clearly this doesn't have unanimous support-I'd like someone to post a less favorable view of the bill.

Also 24 hors for objections on Yankee's final vote motion.

[Pericles]

A final vote has started on this bill, Senators have 72 hours to vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

Gosh, I'm casting a lot of tie-breaking votes! I agree with the points made in Senate and House debates against this bill.
