I'm going to be sending my rep a personal thank you letter for cosponsoring this and seeing it through.
Coincidentally, I also received a personal letter from Speaker of the House Greg Stumbo about it yesterday but it hadn't went up for vote yet.
Now we're just waiting for the Governor to sign it. And if not, looks like there would be a majority if he does try to veto it anyway. Which of course is possible.
