Decided to call Lucio's office - good conversation with a staffer - said that Lucio will only vote yes if the entire Kingsville university is exempt (said the High School and the university are so integrated (cafeteria, common areas, etc.) that there is no way to effectively segment out those two campus. Staffer stated the current amendment would allow certain buildings to be posted (but not the whole campus).
Lucio will vote "no" unless he can exempt the entire campus. I am sure Wentworth is concerned that if he allows that exemption then every other university will want some type exemption . . . so, it does not look good right now.

I am wondering if this is the end of the line.
