COUNCIL STILL DEBATING LEGISLATION 0056-18 WHICH CLARIFIES THAT SPEAKER ONLY VOTES IN TIE VOTE AND NOT IN 2/3 VOTES. BUT DELEGATE LEONARD TSOSIE LEADING AMENDMENT FOR SPEAKER TO VOTE IN 2/3 VOTE AND OTHER VOTING REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE HIGHER THAN 2/3 VOTE, SUCH AS BILLS THAT REQUIRE 90 PERCENT OF COUNCIL MEMBERSHIP.

IT IS NOW 3:12 PM, COUNCIL VOTING ON DELEGATE TSOSIE’S AMENDMENT, 3-16, AMENDMENT FAILS. THE THREE DELEGATES THAT VOTED IN FAVOR WERE LEONARD TSOSIE, DWIGHT WITHERSPOON, TOM CHEE
