Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Trim Away The Fat Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: tmthforu94 on April 30, 2012, 08:44:31 PM I'd encourage the Senate to at least discuss the idea of making some cuts.
Jake, where specifically did you make cuts? Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Trim Away The Fat Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on April 30, 2012, 08:54:37 PM A link to the budget that is in effect now would be convenient to compare this with. But as for the current bill, I strongly oppose section 1 and definitely will not vote for this bill if it remains in the final text.

I will be presenting a Budget next week for Senate consideration. There will be spending cuts and consolidations, as well as small revenue increases.
Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Trim Away The Fat Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: Sbane on May 01, 2012, 04:00:08 AM I am open to cuts...but the Atlasian health care act is already in the process of being reformed so that is off the table. We are making $3 Trillion dollars in cuts (using Washington calculations)!!!!! What more can one want?

Something I should point out is that I had been planning anyway to do an update of the budget in the next week or so anyway since there have been some changes due to new laws, fiscal calendar stuff, etc. I was going to wait to see if the new healthcare law passed first, but instead I'll try to expedite it since all this budget talk is going on now.

There will be some short and sharp shocks in some areas, but services to vulnerable citizens and basic and vital services will NOT be affected.

Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Trim Away The Fat Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on May 02, 2012, 06:03:02 PM Motions to Table are out of order.
Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Trim Away The Fat Act of 2012 (Debating) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on May 02, 2012, 06:08:05 PM The way I have been bringing these to floor is to count either myself as sponsor or the person who previously had claimed it. Bills of "departed" Senators are supposed to be trashed and since no took this, I can simply deny I had taken it, thus making it an illegal bill, since bills of departed Senators must be trashed.
Since this is a heavy handed tactic, I will provided 24 hours in case some are uncomfortable with me doing this. If so, I will take sponsorship, recognize and second Al's motion to table and open a vote. Thoughts?

Therefore I am retaining sponsorship as is established by defacto of my decision to bring it to the floor, and then open a final vote on it. This shall be considered such a request for a final vote. As no debate on the bill has occured within 24 hours, I now open a final vote on this. Senators please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

Title: Re: SENATE BILL: Trim Away The Fat Act of 2012 (At Final Vote) Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on May 05, 2012, 09:40:33 AM Alfred and Pingvin have departed and been replaced by Seatown and Wormyguy.
I would assume that according to Bgwah's amendment a year or so ago, that the line of succession for the At-Large seats is as follows: Alfred - Seatown Pingvin - Wormyguy Nathan - AndrewPA Is this accurate? It is important to know, so that a final vote count can be determined. Successors can change the votes of their predecessors I beleive.
