The AP is reporting today that Missouri lawmakers are proposing a change on the gambling initiative voters passed in November..
Voters passes a constitutional amendment removing loss limits at casinos, increasing casino taxes and limiting the number of casinos in Missouri.
As lawmakers heard testimony Wdnesday on proposals to redirect the money from the ballot measure, the AP quotes Senator Gary Nodler, R-Joplin:
“We have to undo what the voters did in order to do what they intended to do.”
Ah, Ben Tre Logic at its best!

There is one problem with the quote from Senator Nodler. You left off the question mark. The words you quoted were a question directed to the bill sponsor. It is interesting that your entire comment derives from not understanding that Nodler was asking a question.
Anon 4:45PM--
I went back to my source, the Associated Press article published in the on-line edition of the Springfield News-Leader--March 12, 2009.
(The article is linked in the first sentence of my post.)
I would have thought you would have checked the source material, since it is readily available.
You will note, that the Associated Press reporter wrote this sentence:
“We have to undo what the voters did in order to do what they intended to do,” Sen. Gary Nodler, R-Joplin, said Wednesday as lawmakers heard testimony on proposals to redirect the money from the ballot measure.
I don't see a question mark anywhere in that sentence, do you?
Perhaps you could share your source of information.
It is interesting that your entire comment derives from reading my blog post and not understanding that in written English questions have question marks attached to them.
