One of the most vehement Republican supporters of the bill suddenly changed his mind and voted to table the bill indefinitely. That gives him the parliamentary option of changing his mind later and bringing the bill back to a vote.

The teachers and service personnel trust him about as far as they can throw Governor Jim Justice.

(FYI -- for those unfamiliar with the governor, he's six foot seven inches tall. Really! Not Donald Trump height!)
