Some poster on the Denver Post forum said this as to why there was not an actual vote.
“It was not necessary today. Later tonight or Monday when the 3rd and final reading is conducted the GOP leadership will call for a roll call vote.”
I hope so. I want to see these guys on record.
Thanks. Republicans need roll call votes. Otherwise, suspicions of bipartisan support will follow.
If the magazine vote passes all the way (Senate, etc.), it will go well with the drought forecast for future revenues and debt. Salazar spoke a prediction of three or four decades of drought ahead (wanting more fed funding, no doubt).
