[edit] 4-2 vote?

"A majority of the Surrey District School Board, including chair Mary Polak, and trustees Heather Stilwell, Robert Pickering, Gary Tymoschuk, Shawn Wilson, Kim Evoy and Pam Glass, voted to deny the requested approval."

Something is wrong with this. The board had seven trustees (six plus a chair) and we know from James Chamberlain's article on EGALE that it was a 4-2 vote (whereby the chair would probably vote only to split a tie). The way it is written suggests that all seven voted to ban the books which would then not be correct. Two of those listed must have voted to allow the books yet I have no idea which two. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Esptoronto (talkcontribs) 10:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC).
