Every vote, in order
Suspend the rules to report out items without a written report
A Motion to Suspend the Rules to allow the Chair of the Finance Committee to Report out the following three items which were voted by the Committee of the whole earlier in the evening without a written report was Approved by Voice Vote.
The Actions record this as a voice vote with no count, so MassVoter shows the result only.
