[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2014-08: Oregon Resolution

[Alicia Mattson]

On an administrative note, please do not embed your votes in a longer email
of debate commentary.  I usually catch them even if you do that, but if you
will simply send your votes as a separate email message it greatly reduces
the chance of me overlooking it the first time and needing to correct my
reported results after the fact.

Thank you for your assistance with this detail.

-Alicia
