I'm in favor of this bill obviously. I think we could maybe add a note on article 16, explaining why this 3-day delay. There could even be a typical form or flyer that should be given to any pet acquirer and explaining why it's not like buying a stuffed animal. The model of the flyer will be our administration's to establish, but the obligation to hand it out must be in the law.

Charleston has College of Charleston already, but I think it would be a good location for the university.

     Yeah, we still need to decide on a university location, don't we?

I'd like to emphasize that I am on board with any selected location, assuming it is in a place that best serves the interests of students. Charleston is at least somewhat centered on the north-south axis of the region and is easily accessible via major transportation routes.

     Charleston is also a hugely significant location in the region's history, being the home of former Governor Duke's plantation.

Well, I'm not trying to make this all about me, but.... It's been a while since I did something for the city. It was, after all, the Capitol of the South when it was under my control. I don't even know where it was moved to when I left office. Tongue

My vote is for charleston. Large young population, growing, in a desirable location to attract the best minds, and an educated, somewhat wealthy population. It is also central to the region.

I'll withdraw my location for consideration and vote for Charleston as well.

If no one is opposed by later tonight, then Charleston it is.

Also, I'd like to announce this will be my last term (for a while anywhays) in the Legislature.

If we have a consensus trending in on Charleston, I guess I am withdrawing my proposal of New Orleans and backing Charleston. It was just a proposal to float the boat in any case.

Also where is the Capitol City now ?

What a terrible decision that is! We went from one of the most beautiful cities in our region to a city who's only decent quality is their ribs Wink

The music and ribs alone make up for any other negative in the city Smiley

Yes, you must recite the oath from the Book of Duke in the King PiT IDS Bible.

I'd like to wish Jbrase a happy retirement and hope that one day he finds his way back into regional and national politics. While you've been around quite a while, you and I entered the Legislature in the same election and it'll continue to be strange not to see you on the ballot.

I'd also like to welcome Ben Kenobi to the Legislature.

I would like to ask a question of procedure.

Whenever I come on the Regional government forum to come here in the Assembly, I see multiple NE, MA, Midwest threads regarding pieces of legislation they are discussing. And only this one thread for the IDS. I understand it has been chosen by our region and its representatives at some point in time to work this way, and I don't want to revolutionize something that must have its reasons, but can these reasons be explained to me ?

Sometimes it just seems to me we are lagging on the same bill over and over, whereas we could be working fast on some other more consensual bill in another thread at the same time. Also, where can the roll of all bills to be discussed here can be found ? And where should I introduce one if I want to ?

I'm starting to like this game, I just want to start to get a step further into how it works.

     Few bills take any real length of time, so we can usually keep a good pace going. Personally, I think that the regional Legislature should be laid-back and easy-going. I suggested splitting the education bill off to another thread since that was taking forever and nobody responded to the suggestion, IIRC.

     I don't think there's any posted queue, though maintaining it is the responsibility of the Imperial Speaker. New bills should be posted here.
