From the transcript
I would rather have a polished product before us. I'm going to be voting yes tonight. It's first reading. I generally do when I get to before the public hearing, but I imagine we'll be hearing from some of the telecommunication companies on this amended version to see how that feels for them. No, I'm not some shill of the telecommunication industry, but I think we need to be very careful.
