CarrierPicklesimer, Illinois: “Because of how close this

was, and there were a few things even the Committee felt that needed to change, there were two or three things I objected to, like the next two amendments we’re not going to look at now, I would make a motion that this be further worked on and we see another proposal next year.”

Cantriel: “The motion before us is that it be referred back to the Exploratory Committee for consideration at a later date. It passes. It will be given back to the Exploratory Committee for further investigation at a later date.” (Passed)
