Northeast Assembly Thread

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

When is Simfan coming back, goddammit!? He's a pillar of the Assembly!

Yeah, this is starting to get ridiculous.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

With two votes ongoing, and more legislation in line for debate, he won't be around much longer if he doesn't make an appearance.

By the way, expulsions currently occur after three missed votes or one month without participating in debate:

One month seems a bit too lenient to me. What do you guys think? Would two weeks be better? Scott, maybe you or someone else who was around when the current constitution was authored can provide some insight on this.

I don't recall any changes to the law that were made during my time in the Assembly, but I fully agree with shortening the time limit to two weeks instead of a month; half an Assembly term of unexpected do-nothingness shouldn't be tolerated.

Did Simfan ever announce when he would return?

Would anyone here know how long Belgiansocialist has been CJO?  I think a new appointment might have to be made soon.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Hi Jersey! Welcome to the Assembly.

Thanks man! 

Should I be sworn in or is that only for assemblymen serving full terms?

You can go ahead and swear in.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Well we can't reappoint Belgiansocialist even though he has done a good job. It would only interfere with the Liberal powergrab.

Never fear, Mr. President. I am sure that Senator Scott will fill the position with some Liberal patsy who owes his entire career to our cadre.

In all seriousness: Belgian has done a fine job as CJO. If his term were to expire during my time as Governor, I would re-appoint him.

Mwahahaha...

Yeah, I think Belgian's done an all right job since the Tweed debacle.  I just wanted to make sure we're on schedule with everything.

I, Jerseyrules, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of Northeast Assemblyman, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Republic of Atlasia, so help me Dave.

In here.

New legislation is introduced in here.

Should I assume that Alfred will be taking over as Governor until Nix returns?  We need someone to open the NE voting booth on the ERA.

EDIT: Wait, I just remembered that Goldwater is our LtG, not Alfred...

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

His seat isn't vacant yet, is it? I thought it was three missed votes to cause a vacancy.

It's close to being vacant.

I must say, if we lose a total of three Representatives this session due to failure to stay active, that can't look good for our region.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Augh, sorry I haven't been pulling my weight on that project lately.   I'll get back to it.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Gentlemen, it appears we have a bit of a crisis on our hands.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Namely?

The capital amendment failed.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Don't want to interrupt the Legislature But do any of you have a map of the Assembly's history of people?

Not really.  You can find a history of our past Representatives here, though.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Cinci would make an excellent Speaker, just as before.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

By the way, I would like to inform the incoming Speaker, whomever that might be, that two appointments will have to be confirmed ASAP.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

There was a confirmation vote held when Napoleon appointed me to his vacant Senate seat.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Once again, I apologize for my inactivity.  I realize now that I should have posted warning before the storm came and my power was lost, but I guess I was feeling a little too optimistic last week.

Now that life here is (semi-) normal again, I would like to remind the Assembly that Bore awaits confirmation as Treasury Secretary.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Mr. Speaker, would the Gubernatorial special elections amendment be on the ballot this Friday or in December?  I believe it should probably be on Friday's ballot because it technically passed before Saturday, but it was not declared passed by you until a few hours later.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Nah, we won't.   In that case, I'll just put it off to December when turnout's better.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I think I should say, a resolution requesting funds is a little redundant, in my opinion.  The Senate is currently debating a bill and they're all well aware of how annoyed we are at the current handling of the situation.  I don't know if this sways Poirot's opinion in any way, but that's just my two cents.

I'd also like to say that because the GM projected lower costs for us than what we thought was needed, I am more comfortable supporting railroad electrification.  I would like to use Simfan's bill as an opportunity to reorganize funds from the budget we just passed.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

We need to establish a plan for restoration of areas that were affected by Hurricane Sandy.  Obviously, I intend to request that all the money being given to us goes to home and infrastructure repair, but before I put the word in I feel I should ask if there's anything specifically our Representatives feel needs the attention of the Federal government.  Obviously, I don't intend to put that money toward brand new bus/train systems since we still have to fix the broken ones.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Just give me your input soon so I can PM shua for his expertise (if necessary) before the deadline.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I would like to move that the BUILD Act be brought to the front of the queue.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Bump.
