Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

“The proposal Itself is not very supported by us, especially with gambling, tobacco and vaping regulations and also fossil fuel extraction. Marijuana policy is neutral by us while mobile phones banned on schoolground is something we could approve, but we cannot approve the rest.”

Radical Action
Voted April 6, 2024
Abstain

“We cannot support the use of state funds to distribute cigarettes and tobacco. The law seems somewhat misaligned, prohibiting marijuana but allowing compulsory casinos and gambling; it sounds a bit libertarian, but it also gives the state broad powers.”
