It’s About to Get A Bit Crazier in Sussex
Sheriff Woody is bringing in reinforcements. Hopefully they’ll have to check their guns at the door.
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 28, 2012
In dramatic fashion, the House passed the first leg of a constitutional amendment which eliminates the five-year waiting period for voting privileges for eligible felons who have completed their sentences. The bill first fell one vote shy of passage (28 votes needed as it requires a 2/3 majority). However, the roll call was rescinded, and Rep. Debbie Hudson switched her vote from ‘no’ to ‘yes’, giving the bill the 28th and deciding vote. Democrats voting No: The ‘Law-Abiding’ John Atkins and ‘Lumpy’ Carson. R’s voting Yes: Don Blakey, Debbie Hudson, Greg Lavelle, and Mike Ramone. A tip of my sombrero to them. And to sponsor Helene Keeley. It’s on to the Senate, where I think it has an excellent chance to pass.
