You're right, he did say that. I and many others personally thanked Bill for making that statement. It was his early positions where I had concerns.... no matter now.
There are some people who would like to spin their positions and rewrite history about this, particularly some members of the SFAC who need to save face. But, make no mistake, In the end, it came down to two bad choices with the worst being the motion approved by them that sought more restrictions than DNR was considering. MSSA & CCA stood together and saved us from day restrictions and it is very much to their credit that it isn't a lot worse.
