Committee conducts straw poll and approves final budget letter; no roll-call recorded
Summary
At the Feb. 26 meeting the House Committee on Energy and Digital Infrastructure conducted a straw poll to approve its final budget letter. Members indicated assent verbally; the transcript records an "aye" response and no roll-call tally.
The Vermont House Committee on Energy and Digital Infrastructure held a straw poll Feb. 26 to approve its final budget letter. Committee members voiced assent and the chair noted the result was recorded as a straw poll rather than a formal roll-call vote.
Committee chair Representative Kathleen James asked members to vote by straw poll on the final budget letter. After a brief review of the circulated draft, the committee called for a voice vote. Multiple members responded "aye" and the chair said the straw poll passed. No formal tally or roll-call was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The committee's staff posted the final budget letter to the committee webpage during the meeting, and Legislative Counsel said she would send a corrected version to staff after fixing a small typographical error.
Ending: The straw poll approved the budget letter for the committee's purposes; because it was a straw poll, the transcript does not record individual vote counts or recorded yeas/nays.
