The House will re-fight at least one social issue from the culture wars of last month: The transgender-rights bill or the bathroom bill, whatever you prefer to call it, will be re-fought on the House floor first thing Wednesday morning. Democratic Rep. Kathleen Taylor of Franconia filed for reconsideration.
Sponsor Ed Butler sounded hopeful last week that the second vote may be different than the first, which followed the House's votes on gay marriage, medicinal marijuana and the death penalty.
"The vote came at the end of three long days of discussion and deliberation and voting, and a lot of people could not stay at the end of Thursday's debates, so there were a few votes made with many representatives not present," said Butler, a Democrat from Hart's Location.
