The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

I think that list is fine if you take out tourism.  We do not need federal stimulus money to boost it.  An add campaign showcasing our natural and historical attractions would do the trick.

How much money do we have for an ad campaign?

How much money do we have?  I have not seen any figures for the IDS's budget.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Last time I saw, the IDS had net revenue of $632,000,000,000 & net expenditures of $630,000,000,000 for a surplus of $2,000,000,000. That was a while ago, though.

     To give us something concrete to discuss to hopefully move this forward, I propose:

$5,000,000,000 total
highest priority is infrastructure
lowest priority is sewer & water treatment filtration

That sounds good to me.  Does anyone have any objections?

Nope.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I will take the silence of Darth Miles & Darth Svensson to be approval, & present this plan to the Secretary of Internal Affairs immediately.

I think that's correct.

Anyone have a bill?

Anyone?

[tmthforu94]

I recently introduced the following bill in the Mideast. You could introduce it here as well if you'd like. Gives you something to do...

I like it, would anyone be willing to sponsor this one?

Miles?

Yelnoc?

Sven?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I like it as well. I think I'll send a PM off to the Legislators to try to stir up interest.

[SvenssonRS]

I'll step forward to sponsor it, sure.

[-]

With that, Debate can begin. How long it lasts depends on how many comments we get. I may shut it off tomorrow morning if nothing happens.

[-]

(Crickets chirping)

Legislators, vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

[SvenssonRS]

Aye.

Seems like the legislature's a bit quiet lately.

[-]

Aye.

Seems like the legislature's a bit quiet lately.

Yep.

[Yelnoc]

Sorry guys, I've been sick.  Though I notice we did not even have 24 hours to debate.

Anyway, what is a "cap on the creation and maintenance of Charter Schools"?  Does that mean the IDS only allows x amount of charter schools to be created each year?  If so, is that because of budget restrictions?

It's actually common in several states, and I'd imagine there are some states this way in the IDS RL. I don't believe there have even been any regional laws regarding charter schools.

[Miles]

Aye

[-]

Voting will be open for 30 more minutes, Yelnoc.

[Yelnoc]

Then aye it is.

[-]

The Charter School Act has passed.

Waiting for Emperor PiT to sign.

Got anything else?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     On the Charter School Act: by the powers vested in me as Emperor of this region, I thus sign it into law.

     Be it resolved, X Emperor PiT

Since there's nothing else to do, I think we should return the SE to it's roots, with standard titles of "Lieutenant Governor" instead of "Lork of Darkness," etc. Would anyone be in favor/willing to sponsor/write such a bill?

Well, I would probably support it for one simple reason - I can't actually bloody remember any of the titles.

As for writing it, I might do it if nobody else wants to.
