Gordon passes House Amendment 36-27 vote to prevent licensing of Convicted Felons
On 23 April 2015 in the Colorado State House of Representatives, a minor coup d'etat happened when Republican State Representative Gordon Klingenschmitt (in the minority) out-maneuvered Democrat Speaker Pro-Tempore Dan Pabon (in the majority) by amending Pabon's bill to defeat his attempt to give medical marijuana sales licenses to convicted felons. 11 Democrats flipped and voted with Klingenschmitt and 26 Republicans, whose "Committee of the Whole" amendment won approval.
The facts of the story (and Gordon's surprise victory reaction) are here:
