From the transcript
So I'm going to reflect carefully on this vote. I do think this bill is, as I think many have said, far less than perfect. It raises in some respects more questions than answers. I was concerned that we never heard from Department revenue during the conference committee meeting this morning. So all those things are concerns of mine.
