 One of the bill's sponsors, State Senator Kira Hoffner, was visibly emotional Thursday when she decided not to vote on the legislation. But during Tuesday's floor debate, she thanked her colleagues and advocates of the bill for helping solidify her yes vote. It has been a very emotional weekend for me as I went and talked to as many as I could, either supporting or not, with my final conversation with being with Senator Ennis, so that I can vote yes with a clear mind that I did my job.
