As anyone knows, if you want to click-it, that's up to you.

It lost in the senate because Gov Lynch simply did not want it to become an issue in the next election. He would rather 'switch than fight.' It was not worth giving the Republicans another piece of political ammunition. Let's see, recent hot button Democratic victories include the domestic partners law and the no smoking restaurant law. For many people neither is any type of a big deal and does not effect them much, at all. Seat belts, have a much more wide spread like/dislike and the Gov just wanted the issue to go away. Not worth losing the next election for a seatbelt law.

You have my permission not to wear your seatbelt.......you're welcome!
