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

Yeah, this is starting to get ridiculous. Tongue

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?

He's on track to miss the votes currently underway.

What the hell is he doing?

He's starting college. This is his orientation week.

Ah. That makes sense.

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

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

Would any of you be willing to support legislation establishing a regional public affairs network similar to CSPAN?

Sure. We already have a national broadcaster, though.

I think that our national broadcaster is more in the vein of PBS. They don't televise the proceedings of the Assembly or provide coverage of regional politics, to my knowledge. A regional broadcaster would provide us with greater transparency in government, increase civic engagement, and discourage corruption. Besides, one of my major goals lately has been elevating regional government - this is a way of doing that without breaking the game's fourth wall.

I'm fine with it.

I'm for it, although my character would be all like "No"; I would be IRL as well.

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 hereby submit the Aerospace Commission Act of 2012, which will:
- create a 5-member board, appointed by the NE governor and subject to confirmation by the NE legislature
- eliminate sales and property taxes on any aerospace corporation based in the NE
- give incentive in the form of tax credits and grants to any corporation achieving certain goals established by the board within a certain amount of time, (ex. Launching a solar-sail powered spacecraft by 2015, landing on Mars by 2026, creating an ultra lightweight solar panel which can be used to power a solar sail, etc), all of which must be approved by a majority of the legislature and the governor

Thanks man Wink.  I guess this must be since I've left; a lot happens in six months.

You can catch up on what's happened over the past three sessions here.

For updated rules on Assembly procedure, you can read the new SOAP, adopted shortly after you last left office, here.

Thanks Governor Wink

And this is where my job gets hard.

In the space of a few months, we have lost almost all of the old contingent of our Assembly. I've only been at this for two or three months, and I'm the most senior Representative. There appears to be a lack of active voters and active candidates in the region, as evidenced by our recent election in which we all know the highest vote total anyone received was three. I think we need to procure an active voter base, which I believe will lift our region up. How we can do that, however, I don't really know. But I do know that we're going to have to work for it.

Also, y'all should debate and vote on our bills. That goes double for you, Funky.

Bore, you haven't introduced any bills.

OK, now you have.

I've just noticed that Comrade Funk has missed three consecutive votes (The Capital Act of 2012, The Fair Property Tax and Homeowner Relief Initiative, & The Education Act). Does this mean his seat is now vacant?

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...
