Mideast Assembly Thread

[Kaine for Senate '18]

The change has been made, for the record.  I also feel a censure is not necessary.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Right now, I am adamently opposed to a Con Con.

As am I.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

None of those which I'd support.  lol

Why do you oppose the first measure?

I see no reason to change to 3 regions.

Hs the ineptitude of your region not told you anything?

Our region runs smoothly, thank you.

And if it continues, I'll run for Governor in January.

The elections ran smoothly enough; my only mistake was forgetting to delete one sentence from the Constitution.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Andrew, Franzl, Peter, Mikado, Inks, Al, anyone who can competently run the Mideast for Governor!

The election have been run smoothly in my second term, Rocky; as will the January elections.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

My big problem with the 3 regions idea is that it may break up a very active region.  If we remove a region, it should be one that isn't active.

and suggestion?

If we remove a region, I would suggest it be either the Pacific or Midwest, as they seem to be the least active; perhaps cutting down on the number of At-Large Senators, and increasing the frequency of elections.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

We should move the capital to Richmond.  It's in the most populous state, but I'm also fine with having a general resolution.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

What if we don't want to change capitals? What if we don't like any of those cities? What will we vote for?

True, let's put our current Capital as an option too.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I feel I deserve recognition

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I feel I deserve recognition

Lol, nice. Only if the memorial gets to include you with handcuffs behind your back.

I'm cool with that.  As long as it does include the positive achivements, too

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I oppose this.  The Governor is separate from the Assembly, and it should always stay that way.

Plus, I'm mad that my Memorial isn't going to be passed

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I oppose both bills.

I would like to propose the following bill:

Mideast Pornography Statute II
It shall be legal for all persons aged fourteen years or older to possess, view and buy pornography, depicting only persons aged eighteen years or older.

First we are giving Ben a monument, now access to porn?

I am 16, you know

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I fully oppose this.  It provides the Governor no incentive to find a replacement, and is a clear violation of the separation of powers.  It should be voted down, immediately.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I fully support the Bill with PS's additions.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Badger, this legislation is simply brilliant.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I agree with Big Bad Fab on the point of starting in 2009, rather than 2010.  I would give them until 12/31/2011 to pay back 60%, and until 12/31/2012 to pay back the full amount.  I highly doubt these tax cheats are bereft of money.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Stricter Dog Fighting Policy Bill

Section I: It shall be illegal for any person to attend dog fighting events anywhere the Mideast Region. Anyone who’s caught attending a dog fight will be sentenced to a maximum fine of 600 dollars.
Section II: All fines collected from people breaking this law will be used to sponsor the construction and operation of special dog centres, designed to house and rehabilitate confiscated fight dogs, in co-operation with several animal right’s organisations.

Since there has been no further debate on this bill for over 24 hours, I call for a vote.

AYE.

AYE.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

While, in theory, the noticeboard is a good idea, I don't think it is necessary.  As has been noted, the Assembly thread is well organized, and easy to navigate.  I think we don't need to add anther thread which will clutter up the board unnecessarily.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Maybe, a board for non-Assemblymans, so they can talk about the bills.

That is, again, unnecessary.  Non-Assemblyman are not prevented from posting in this thread, and from discussing the legislation, and from suggesting changes.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Nay.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

What's the problem with this? It will definately ease congestion, as many people have no clue what's going on here.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

The Assembly is only "well organized, and easy to navigate" to those who check on every 5 minutes to see if there is a new post. For an outside observer, like myself, it is very hard to see what is going on. It's kind of like organized chaos...

Even then, it is not difficult.  One thing, perhaps, would be to do what the Senate threads do, and have the name of the bill and it's current status in the header.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Yes, we might as well recess. 

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Yes, we might as well recess. 

Agreed. Do you wish to set a date for reconvening, Mr. Speaker? Better to do so than leaving it open-ended.

FWIW, perhaps reconvening between Xmas and Ney Years? We'll all have some down time after Christmas and plenty of web surfing time in the intervening week I suspect.

It appears the date has been set as January 3, with us in recess from 12/23-1/2.
