Re: [ga] Motion to the Chair

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Sandy and all assembly members,

  I must agree with Sandy's method/approach here, and myself have
advocated it.  Anyone can employ their own filters and accomplish
the desired effect.  However I see no reason why this motion could
not be given consideration to give the GA members a chance to
decide where their feelings are on such a motion....  However I
would NOT second such a motion as it is currently drafted...
