Most of the lobby and the press were predicting that the Speaker, leadership of the House and the Governor would have a hard time getting the 100 votes necessary to pass the amendment. But that's life in the Legislature. Some folks are now talking about various deals that may have been made. Perhaps some of that happened on the floor last night. Whatever, the Governor and the Speaker deserve credit for getting the necessary 100 votes to pass a Constitutional amendment.
Today is the debate on the tax bill.
More that 200 amendments may be offered. It will be interesting to see how the votes go today.
