Interesting Debate Over Misleading Ballot Language On Amendment One



I'll write a full report after the sun goes down. (Hey, I'm at the beach, after all.) There was a really interesting debate among board members on whether to take a stand opposing Amendment One because the ballot language is so misleading and because on the merits it could, if passed, potentially impact the practice of law. The vote on opposing the amendment was 39 to 26, which was not enough to carry the day because a two-thirds vote was required. Seems like 65 is a really low turnout for a board meeting, though it is enough for a quorum. As you can see from the photo, the DeKalb delegation was sparsely represented.
