be allowed to refrain from voting due to a conflict of interest.               
Objection was heard, and Representative Brown was required to vote.            
                                                                               
The Speaker requested a show of hands of those members with a                  
potential conflict of interest.  Objection was heard and all members           
were required to vote.
