Here's the address to get to how members voted on bills that are up for roll call: http://www.leg.state.vt.us/database/database2.cfm (http://www.leg.state.vt.us/database/database2.cfm)


Keep in mind that most bills are voted by voice vote, but the controversial items are almost always voted by roll.

Also, I've been wanting to make sure you know that I usually only have time to check this site on the weekends, and even then not always. So if you want to get a message to me, the  best thing to do is e-mail me at cbranagan@leg.state.vt.us  I check my e-mail  a couple of times a day.
