He asked Tony Izzo if they can vote on this tomorrow night as some changes were made to the amendment. Tony Izzo stated he read the change to extend the period of time, which is done by resolution. That should be fine as it is. When an amendment is made of a substantive manner, it generally calls for notice and public hearing.
