Do any councilors object to Councilman PSOL's amendment?

[OneJ]

Councilors have 24 hours to object Councilman PSOL's motion for a final vote.

Forgot to open this. Thanks to ASV for reminding me. Councilmembers have 48 hours to vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.

Nay.

While I do think there are some good intentions in this bill, there are some good points being raised that are possibly unconstitutional and it may interfere with what they are intended to do nationally.

Ah, yes. I apologize Chancellor.
