Ah poop. Thanks! Was trying to catch up on a lot at once

[Dr. Cynic]

I'm not a particularly good bill writer, so I wanted to let everyone know in advance that the legislation I've introduced, I'm perfectly open to amendments from those who are better at bill crafting than I am to clean up any loose ends.

[Dr. Cynic]

We really need to get a debate going on how to get Northeast election turnout up.

[sentinel]

Dude, for the last election I messaged EVERYONE in the Northeast. Everyone. We need more players. I messaged 5+ last weekend, GAworth joined but in the Midwest I think...like I said in my PM to ya'll, I'd like you all to do the same thing...

On the ReFORM bill, I haven't looked at the acts involved but I wanted to say I don't like seeing 1q (official language ballot act) in there. I was the original sponsor of the bill that morphed into Official language ballot act. I still think it's needed for easy to count and transparency of voting.

I am going to be forging a bill for the $9 billion stimulus that we will be receiving from the federal government. Accepting suggestions on how we should be appropriating it. I'm predisposed to allocate it towards more infrastructure development.

[Dr. Cynic]

How much does it cost regionally to send a student to college in the Northeast, because I think we really should pump some money into the schools as well?

Thats a good question for the GM, in addition I would recommend reading Scott's education law because, from what I remember, it does lower costs.

However, I categorically will not support via stimulus any bill that is not a one-time expense (aka the program will not be renewed).

[Dr. Cynic]

It's already been asked. Actually, it was asked on the basis of me wanting to write a bill for more permanent expenditure rather than by using stimulus money, but if there was something that could be used as a one time expense that we could put some money toward, I was thinking it would be good to look at something for education.

[Sopranos Republican]

Starting at Midnight, I would like to ask members of the Assembly to vote on who shall be our next Speaker, and for that position, I would like to nominate, and recommend former Northeast Speaker, Alfred F. Jones. I suppose I can open the vote at Midnight and I'll keep it open for 72 hours. (Which is the standard time for this)

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I accept the nomination.
