Some lawmakers, including state Rep. Wes Virdell, voted against it due to its projected $500 million cost, though several now admit they're reconsidering in the wake of recent events

They’re not going to reconsider. Who’s buying this lie from consummate liars?

Even if they truly are reconsidering, it won’t matter. The information that leads to a siren will no longer be available.
