Bill to clarify Speaker’s voting requirements Fails

COUNCIL STILL DEBATING LEGISLATION 0056-18 WHICH CLARIFIES THAT SPEAKER ONLY VOTES IN TIE VOTE AND NOT IN 2/3 VOTES. DELEGATE DWIGHT WITHERSPOON NOW LEADING AMENDMENT TO ALLOW SPEAKER TO VOTE ON 3/4 VOTES AND HIGHER.

DELEGATE TSOSIE SECONDS WITHERSPOON’S AMENDMENT.

NO DEBATE SO COUNCIL VOTING ON DELEGATE WITHERSPOON’S AMENDMENT. 4-14. DELEGATES VOTING YES ARE LEONARD TSOSIE, DWIGHT WITHERSPOON, NATHANIEL BROWN, WALTER PHELPS

FINAL VOTE ON 0056-18 IS 9-10, NEEDED 2/3 VOTE OR 16 VOTES
