The controversial “Petland Bills” narrowly passed the
house (HB5917 56 Aye, 52 Nay) yesterday and will move on to the senate for a
committee hearing and senate vote. The republican sponsored bill needed 56
votes to pass.
What went wrong?
Two democrats did not vote and two others voted
'yes' for unknown reasons.
Rep. Tedder (Clarkston) who had voted “no” in caucus voted
“no” until all the votes were in and then changed is vote at the last minute to
“yes” knowing the republicans needed 56 to pass and there were two votes
pending.
Prior this year over 15 republicans were opposing the bill privately
in caucus. Some provided us firm “No” votes and held to that position. While five
republican’s who said they were voting “no”, changed their minds.

Special
