George Mervosh Posted November 16, 2010 at 04:55 PM Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 at 04:55 PM Passing an amendment never adopts the primary motion.....you go back to the main motion, as amended, and take it from there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motion hasn't been adopted, yet. That will require another vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Wynn Posted November 16, 2010 at 05:07 PM Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 at 05:07 PM Agreed, but the language was improved later on in my sentence.I noticed that. It was like you were bilingual, and that probably helped Jerry understand, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
