Audio of Senate majority Leader Bill Cowsert explaining his addition of language from SB 1 to the one-pager, HB 452 on Friday, Day 38.

Note; This can be confusing, as Lt. Governor Casey Cagle, President of the Senate introduces “amendment 1A, then calls up Senator Bill Cowsert, Majority Leader to the Well, who presents what is Amendment 1. Cowsert speaks for about two minutes to explain Amendment 1. Not Amendment 1A.

At the end of his less than two minute presentation, Cowsert can be heard assuring the senate and any viewer at home that his amendment does not effect the language of the original bill – HB 452. Cowsert: “doesn’t impact the other portions of the bill…”

Which turns out to be not true. The language was in fact changed.

Let’s all think of another way to say what somebody says is not true…
