I close debate.

Glacio Revera glowers over his papers. "I find this proposal foolish and unnecessary."

With four ayes, two nays and two abstentions the motion has not achieved a three-fourths supermajority as ordained in the Constitution. The motion fails.

It being 24 hours since voting reopened, and a quorum established, voting shall conclude. with 6 in favor and one abstention the motion passes.

*Glacio Revera rises from his chair* My fellow councilors, I do not seek to impugne the character of Phoenix, but I must say that I have serious reservations about this bill. Firstly, i believe it has been formatted improperly and should have been made as an amendment to the regional symbols...

The idea behind this is it's a sort of one time deal, not a standing committee. Its just expected to deliver a report and then be done.

As the original author of the bill, and someone very familiar with Executive processes... I can be confident some of the provisions in this act were unnecessary and a little silly. I hope to rectify my mistake.

As our region and legislative practice has evolved, so should our law format. Kron has the requisite passion and experience to lead this project, and I think it will turn out successfully.
