Voting time has expired.  The ayes are two, nays are three, abstentions are zero, and non-voting members are zero.

The session will resume when a new piece of legislation is introduced.

Once again, I cannot support this because the Northeast does not have a tax code in place.  This law would make it more difficult to implement one.

3.) Town records may hereby be kept where liquor is sold.

4.) It is hereby legal to dispose of used razor blades.

5.) All legal firearms may be discharged in public highways, provided that they do not result in the harm of innocent citizens.

6.) Brothels are hereby legal in the Northeast.

7.) The sale of fireworks is hereby permitted to all Northeast residents above the age of seventeen.

8.) Hunting licenses and fishing licenses are no longer necessary to hunt or fish on one's own private property.

9.) On no day of any week are hunting or fishing prohibited activities.

10.) Players of professional sports shall not have to obtain a license to play on Sundays.

Self-explanatory bill; repeals silly, unnecessary, and religiously-motivated laws, some of which can be found on here.

As a man from New Jersey myself, I don't think it's silly; it's one day a week of peace and quiet, especially if you're living on a busy street.  While statewide bans are a bit much, I don't see why local lawmakers cannot allow it, and if the locality doesnt like it, they throw out the lawmakers who put it in place.

I feel that people who object to drinking on the Sabbath can refrain from doing so without the regional government or locality telling them they can't.  And since we would be allowing the sale of beer every day, both sellers and consumers would benefit.

Granted.

I hope Andrew swears in soon so he can substitute for me when I'm out this weekend.

Because the Governor will be unable to sub for me this weekend, I call this session to recess.
