This is where it gets kind of interesting. One of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle wrote proudly on facebook that she was voting no on the General Govt bill, because it cut too deeply.
Because they didn't have enough votes to pass the Conference bill, they cleared the board, and promptly called for another caucus. Not counting your votes is as close to a sin as you get in politics. Closing the board, means that no votes do not have to be recorded, and that it can come back up again.
This has a range of 4% to 11% cuts to revenue sharing to my Townships, villages and cities.
It will be interesting to see if the Speaker can twist enough arms to pass this budget with 56 votes.
