Northeast Assembly Thread

[Rep Pyrofox]

After Winfield swears in, we'll begin the nomination process.

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

If Winfield does not swear in by midnight, I advise that you open the session without him. Waiting is not constitutionally required.

[Rep Pyrofox]

Alrighty, I think we've waited long enough.

We will now begin nominating a Speaker for this body.
I'll begin by nominating Nix.

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

I accept Pyro's nomination.

[crypto-fascist superhero]

I'll nominate myself :p

[Rep Pyrofox]

Now that 24 hours have passed, we will now begin the voting period for Speaker.
This vote will last 24 hours, or until all members have voted, and I wholly encourage every member to vote.

Speaker

[X] Averroes Nix
[  ] Wormyguy

Since Wormyguy is, I assume, going to the  Senate, there is no point in electing him Speaker, although, if he were not going to the Senate, I would have no objection to him becoming Speaker.

I as well have no objection in Averroes Nix becoming Speaker.

[Senator Napoleon]

Congratulations on your likely victory, Nix. Oh, and what Winfield said (wormyguy was actually the first person I voted for to the Speaker position).

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

[X] Nix

[Rep Pyrofox]

The voting time has expired, Nix is now elected Speaker. Congrats ^^

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

This body will now vote on whether to confirm the governor's nominee for Chief Judicial Officer. The vote will last 72 hours, or until all members have voted.

Executive Order #5

I nominate BelgianSocialist to serve as our next Chief Judicial Officer.

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

AYE to the confirmation of BelgianSocialist.

[Rep Pyrofox]

Aye

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

Simfan, Winfield: You have three hours remaining to cast your votes. I encourage you to do so.

[LINCOLN REPUBLICAN]

Aye

[Simfan34]

Aye

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

By a vote of 4-0, the Northeast Assembly confirms BelgianSocialist as the Northeast Region's Chief Judicial Officer.

[Senator Napoleon]

Northeast High Speed Rail Act

1. The Northeast Region shall establish a high speed rail authority to develop, construct and maintain a High Speed Rail network.
2. This system shall reach the major cities of the region.
3. The average speed of the network's trains shall not fall below 200 miles per hour.
4. A minimum of half all of all funding should come from non-public sources.

This should be dismissed as frivolous. All major cities in the region are connected with high speed rail already and were paid for through federal funding I sought as Senator.

[Comrade Shmoo]

Hi!

[Rep Pyrofox]

Welcome to the Assembly, Alfred!

Now that the left has the majority once again, we can resume working on some legislation to benefit the working class, while reforming our system to make Atlasia more active and fun!

[Comrade Shmoo]

Why, thank you, Pyro! I do agree with your sentiments!

[LINCOLN REPUBLICAN]

Welcome to the Assembly Representative Alfred F. Jones.

However, I must say that I do not believe it is productive for one to put ideology ahead of all else when deliberating what is in the best interests of the region.

[Senator Napoleon]

The only majority in this chamber will be an active, friendly, responsible majority. Every representative cares about the vulnerable in our society and reforming the region. That is what makes the Northeast so great.
