SB 83 Parolee Voting

SB 83 passed on a voice vote this morning. Senator Penry - R introduced an amendment to strip parolee voting from the bill. His amendment was defeated 19-16. The only Dem to vote in favor of Penry's amendment was Lois Tochtrop from Adams County. The bill is now headed for third reading and is calendered for Monday. Please contact Senator Tochtrop and let her know how important it is that she vote "Yes" on SB 83.

HB 1313 was laid over until Monday.
