I think this bill can be fleshed out. We could declare English to be the official language but add a clause that would still ensure that accommodations can be provided to people who need to receive information in a foreign language such as the many Spanish speaking Southerners in states like Texas and Florida. If the desire is there for this to be settled in a referendum, then I suggest holding off on a final vote until this bill is passed and vote accordingly.
Let's have it be tabled until August then when the new chamber-people can vote how they like.
Could we vote now?
Okay, but I'd be voting no.
Unsure if you'd all prefer that to a referendum.
