Mr. Levine wasn't at his desk when the item number came up, it was passed and retained. I'm pretty sure "passed" means "passed over" and retained. He has until Friday to get his vote. The fact he wasn't at his desk when the bill came up probaly indicates he still doesn't have the votes. Levine was on a local channel the morning pushing the bill and when asked...said it would pass. I challenged the station (the Fox affiliate) for not getting an opposing viewpoint...but alas...no return phone call or email... It's not too late to send more faxes folks...
