Votes: In most roll calls the clerk recorded “ayes” with a few named dissenters on several items (the transcript notes opposition from a legislator named Carrie on at least one vote and named “Gary” as an opponent on other items). The transcript excerpt did not include full recorded tallies for each legislator; the committee routinely passed motions by voice vote or recorded single named oppositions. For vote tallies not stated in the transcript the committee’s official minutes should be consulted for full roll-call details.
