From the transcript
Well, I think that postponing it might be the better way to go. I also think, you know, if you approve this in 3 readings, the next 3 readings, it's just a placeholder. It's not saying, okay, you're going to do this, because the assembly still has to vote on the union contract before it goes into effect. So that could be at a different meeting, a later meeting, and then it would just be there in case you did vote for it, if that makes sense.
