long as nothing else comes up on it, so that if we want to take it up again, then we can <br />vote again. It's just like everything else. You can change your mind. Right? <br />RAY: Right. We will have final votes, officially, on all of these. Okay, <br />good. Making some progress. On non-partisan, 1 think it was agreed that we don't <br />need to revisit that at this point in time. <br />Term limits, as a separate ballot amendment.
