I kind of agree with the guy. He moved it out of committee despite citing problems with it, but signaled a willingness to continue working through those issues. The bill was a rush job with lots of missteps, and budget numbers came very, very late in the process. When he expressed frustration at this and said it doesn’t make sense for public comment before the budget numbers are in, and because of this he was currently a no (but continuing to signal willingness to work to get to yes), the Democratic majority tried to strong arm him by removing him from the committee immediately after as punishment. So he voted no.

Try again next session. Should be easier since they’ve done all the planning this time. Maybe don’t alienate your allies next time.
