This is very good news, I do wonder what the psychology behind it is. Most people tend to vote for laws that would grant them an edge in life. I can only say I am happily surprised. I still wished they would vote Republican but baby steps.

I've seen lefties say it didn't pass because it was worded poorly. Except, of course, it'd be worded poorly if it was phrased any other way.
