        sounds like the "other body" is trying to use this as a vehicle for messing with bail reform (bill originally had to do with therapeutic cannabis)
        1. …in reply to @cooljeanius
          Sounds like Rep. Layon and Rep. Meuse agree that the changes from the "other body" were bad, but they disagree about whether a CofC can fix it or not?

                                                      I might find some of these arguments to be more convincing if I didn't suspect Rep. Pauer were making them in bad faith; Republicans are only pretending to care about the environment here to try to drive a wedge between environmentalists and disability rights advocates
