Ms. Schue directed council attention to HB 2432 regarding racially motivated murder and said the committee recommended support for the bill as a priority two, as requested by the Department of Public Safety. Mr. Holmer expressed his continuing concern with the council adopting minutes of a committee and said he would abstain from voting. Ms. Ehrman indicated that she opposed HB 2432 because of her opposition to capital punishment in general. Ms. Schue encouraged Mr. Holmer to suggest how the process of approving legislative positions could be improved. To Ms. Ehrman's comment, Ms. Schue responded that while she personally opposed the death penalty, the voters of the state have approved it so it appears to be appropriate in this situation. e Mr. Boles said he would favor HB 2503 if forfeiture money could be returned to the City.
