From the transcript
I think that it's important to follow the code and to follow the laws that have been set out before you. I acknowledge that these changes could potentially allow us to, like the previous speaker said, exercise the will of the people. However, the people at a greater majority also voted in favor of Proposition 2, which established this code 13 years ago. In the KDM article, I noted something really curious to me that kind of stuck out, and that was one of the assembly members was quoted as saying that the changes proposed tonight in the special meeting better reflect the intentions of the members of our community. I don't think that we can say that with confidence without bringing this to the community to have their intentions— or their intentions changed within the code.
