Rashi, no, the Senate had to first vote to pass SB-21, with our employees all voting in the affirmative.  Alaska voters then had the option of passing a referendum to overturn the law, but we spent almost $30 million dollars on a propaganda campaign to fool the voters.  The referendum (to overturn the law) was passed in many parts of Alaska- but we won- just barely, with the votes we received in the Hillside, Eagle River area.

This is bad for Alaskans, but very, very good for us.  It is in part why we gave Rex Tillerson $180 million plus another $54 million in cash after he left Exxon to become a lap poodle for Trump.
