ASA Furlough Fund

Charity at gunpoint!

38 was the difference between for and against. Totals were 198 FOR, 160 AGAINST. 354 total out of 1578 eligible.

I would assume that the results might change.

If the difference was just 38 votes and there were about 80 ineligible voters (obviously all voting and voting for the issue) then we can safely assume that after a recount, which I have heard nothing of, the majority will shift and the proposal will be defeated (thank god).

That would make sense. Since the 80 ineligible voters were going to be (are) subject to furlough, they would certainly be biased in their vote, and would have likely voted for the measure...so I can see where this would be overturned...

Or, voted against it because they didn't want to pay.

A furloughee would have to pay????

Ok, now I'm really confused. How does that work? Deducted from your unemployment????

What am I missing?

Ouch!!!

He earned that one.

For his sake, let's hope his self control has matured.
