SoulSe Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 This is good news indeed. I was almost convinced that it would be passed, for once I am happy to be proven wrong! Congratulations to everyone in the region who made their voices heard on the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
