“You as an assembly need to follow the will of the people. That is why you were elected, and it would do well for you to remember that. I figure that you can seat Mr. Williamson on the assembly within 4 weeks with a couple extra work sessions and do what the majority of the voters have told you to do. Changing code is not rocket science. It simply takes 4 votes from 4 assembly members.”

Changing code is not rocket science. It simply takes 4 votes from 4 assembly members.
