Big Vote Coming

HB 1204, the cigarette tax, will be voted on in a few minutes. I've been told that we have the 75 votes needed, but we will wait and see. Expect a close shave and I am predicting 78 yeas. 99 members are in their seats, apparently ready to take a stand. But you never know who's going to press that yellow present button and abstain. I will not. Rep. Reep is presenting the bill now. I'll be back.
